It was a rare Wednesday where Alora had no classes scheduled, nor did she have to cover any of the students supervised study sessions. Usually she volunteered to cover them as she didn't have much else to do, and it meant she would do her corrections in a more efficient manner. She hadn't quite cracked the art of grading homework pieces and the likes yet in the best way and she often found it difficult for it to keep her attention. It was a good time to force both the students and herself to do some work.
Except today some other Slytherin Professor already had it covered.
Instead Alora had come down to the village as a way to get out of the Greenhouses. Get away from the same thought that had been nagging at her in the back of her mind; that face. As she sipped at her overly large café mocha, she glanced around the coffee shop. There was enough students milling around the village, some coming and going from here. They must have had an afternoon pass from school, she thought. Though a lot of them were likely NEWT students who were allowed come and go as they pleased anyway. Either way, they didn't bother Alora and she didn't bother with them. The arrangement suited her fine. She didn't have any serious work with her to be concentrating on, but the Herbology journal that held her attention was interesting enough to not want to be distracted from.
Setting down the wide rimmed mug, she dabbed a napkin at her red painted lips to daub away any of her lipstick that may be smudged and returned her gaze downward to the glossy pages. The café was busy, it was easy to melt into the crowd and not be noticed; the way she liked it. Wit a slight pause, she looked up and glanced around as she ran her hair distractedly through her copper locks before quickly looking back down again to lose herself amongst the idea of plants and the rain outside as it battered the window and the cobbled streets outside.
