In truth, it was lucky she survived most of her schooling there. Thankfully with her grades, she was able to carry her own. It was everything else that had her falling behind. Her meek nature didn’t help anything. In many ways, she was simply railroaded rather than worked with. But that was Durmstrang, this was Hogwarts. What she hoped would be a very different place.<br/><br/>Thankfully it seemed things were starting off on the right foot, “My first friend,” she said softly before a smile started to come to her lips. One hand came up to cover it though before too much of it could be seen. An old habit of stifling herself before anyone could see that small shine of happiness on her features. “Well, I am happy to have my first friend of Hogwarts.” She nodded firmly as Art yipped in response to it all.<br/><br/>“Oh, I excel at transfiguration and charms. I would be happy to help you with either.” Maria offered as she nodded happily. She had not been expecting to make a friend so quickly, it was a pleasant surprise for sure. “I’m ok at potions, so I could use the help. If I fail anything this year I…well, it won't be good.” She frowned a bit but shook it off quickly enough. “Is potion your favorite subject? I find you excel at subjects when you enjoy them. I use my charms and transfiguration spells with my little creations.” Maria shared with a gentle nod. Her creations weren’t something she normally shared with someone. They were secret little friends she created for herself, but this was a new start so why not share…right?
