Millie felt her weight fall out under her, letting out a groan at the assignment. Complex was never a good thing for her to hear in Potions. Even with her OWLs another two years away, the task seemed impossibly daunting when presented like today. How was she ever going to pass with an Exceeds Expectations when everything was either complex or advanced?
The young witch leaned down, ready to lay her head on her hands for one moping second. Her view was interrupted by a set of notes pushed hastily in her direction, and she looked up to find Anne sitting next to her with a grin on her face. Millie took the notes, almost in disbelief at something that might help her more than Fletcher's snide commentary in her hand-me-down textbook, and managed to sit up a little straighter. She smiled back at the Slytherin girl, and gave her a silent nod in agreement.
She could do this.
When she was back from the supply cupboard, Millie found another student had set up right next to her. Starting in surprise, she tried to let it go and concentrate on her work instead. There were whispers surrounding Yuri Podsnapper, ones with which the young witch had little desire to see her own name uttered in the same breath. So when she heard the hiss of a whisper from the boy, Millie froze.
"Umm..." she looked up, seeking to find some help from Greta nearby. The whole adventure had been her idea, Millie just put some pieces together in the library. It had actually been quite ingenious, she thought, looking up the old caretaker's maintenance logs. The tiny, scrawling scripts ran together so much as to make her eyes bleed, but after an entire study session devoted to secret passages instead of Ancient Studies, she had found incontrovertible evidence of a secret passage! Did she really want Yuri to know about it, too? "In a way, I suppose. I don't know for sure, not really. Just some scraps, you know, bits of things here and oddities there. I'll have to actually look for it when I have the time."
It was only a shame she had to wait for the weekend for that, the young witch would much rather be exploring than brewing.
