Dead morning. And who could have ever thought that the Slytherin can still manage to attend classes. For a moment, she was the one who decided to. Well, her subconscious did so. It was literally and bloody stupid. She could still have been there, lying on the grass, the sunlight pressing itself down upon her, when some stranger woke her up and asked why she was there. And through her bloodshot eyes, she hinted a younger year, though she didn't hurt her. That one was lucky.

So, she slept right there last night, and Merlin only knows how she ended up not waking with the Gryffindor by her side. Supposedly, it was another prank. And she already bet a sweet revenge sooner.

Frances stepped inside with a yawn and a stretch from both of her arms. Dragging her feet across the hollow floor, she threw her shoulder bag on one side of the table, and took her usual seat. With a yawn once more, and for the seventh time of the day since breakfast, she crossed her arms on the wood, ducked her head inside the hole, and drifted into a shallow sleep, her conscience confident enough to wait for the others to come before beginning with the task. And yet, her mind wasn't on its own for realizing that the potion was still in the pocket of her robes, waiting to be drunk.

Transfiguration was one of the other classes she was great at.

She entered her classroom, and plopped onto her usual seat. She looked at the Slytherin girl, and, boy, she looked like she hadn't slept for two days. She removed her focus from the girl to the watch, which she was supposed to turn into a snake.

First, she imagined the watch tuning into a snake. She then drew her wand, and gave it two flicks, as the professor said, and said the spell "Horologium Anguis!" and watched as the watch slowly turned into a purple and red snake. She smiled at her accomplishment. She loved transfiguration.

The girl flicked her eyes wide open, as wide as she could possibly do, and shuffled her hair to one side of her face, her idleness coming to a close. Sighing, she grabbed the watch placed in front, and ducked her hand inside her robes in search for her wand. Playing with the stick first, she rolled her eyes and made the movements to be considered before chanting the spell,

"Horologium Anguis," the Slytheirn merely muttered, her mind set on the figure conjuring into a serpent. And, after a moment or two, the silver watch made a slight shudder, its shape resembling, transforming, into the flexible texture of a snake.

She gazed at it wide-eyed, her sleeping soul finally into wake, and the creature slithered itself around the table, hissing quietly, it's green-scaled skin somewhat glimmering against the hot sun.
