Aria's eyes fluttered open as she stirred from her light sleep, her eyes adjusting to the dark room quickly since her blue hues were used to this lighting. Aria always woke up before dawn, making sure to get out of the slytherin dorms before anyone else could wake up. It was easier just to avoid them rather than endure their constant taunting. As the brown haired girl quietly stepped into her shared bathroom with her robes she looked at the green color of her tie and her scarf, feeling disgusted by the color she had begun to see everywhere. Aria showered quickly, putting her wet hair up into a loose braid and quickly getting dressed into her uniform. She threw her scarf back into her trunk and pulled the robe up high so it would cover the pop of green she had to wear every day around her neck. Yes the tie was a requirement, but the scarf was just a suggestion, considering Hogwarts gets very cold, very quickly when winter nears. But it was only the beginning of the year and besides it was better than being glared at constantly.<br/>Aria walked quietly down the halls of Hogwarts, thinking about yesterday and how she met that boy.<span style="font-style: italic">Why did he want to help her? Would he get something out of it? Was it a bet?</span>Negative continuously swirled around her head. Aria headed out towards a relatively secluded area, not wanting to bother Michael, he probably changed his mind anyway. Pulling her wand out she could feel the object rejecting her, sighing she gripped the wand tighter casting a few basic spells out forcing the wand to listen to her. This would usually be her routine, wake up early practice using her wand and controlling her magic. Yes students weren't supposed to use magic outside of the classroom but she would never be able to keep up with everyone else if she didn't push the boundaries a bit. Aria didn't know how long she had been out casting spells until the sun started to rise and her posture slumped slightly from using her magic so much and fighting her wand to listen to her. Aria stared at the white wand,<span style="font-style: italic">why won't you listen to me?</span>
