someone's bound to get burned

Katerina took her fork to her mouth, tasting the amazing scrambled eggs the elves had prepared that morning, while her eyes never left her Dark Arts book. It was fascinating, really, the fact that they learned about dark things at school. Most would say it was because you had to know the danger to learn how to fight it, but she couldn't help but to think of what it would be like using those powers. Not to cause trouble or because she wanted to kill people, but for revenge.

She shrugged and ate more of her eggs, that thought quickly leaving her mind as she read other passages from the book and took notes. But it would never really leave, no. It would always be there, in the back of her mind... the thought of revenge was not new to her. But now she thought of revenge with dark magic.

Taylor shook her hair out of her eyes again, trying to stop herself from nodding off. Sleeping wasn't easy really. She wasn't stressing; there was literally nothing for her to be stressed over. Homework was easy, life was pretty easy, just everything was either against her, or she was against it.

The girl wasn't really sure which way around that went yet.

She wasn't an insomniac either. Usually she found sleeping so easy to do. Probably easier than anything else ever. She'd heard that people who had troubles sleeping had higher IQ's. That was a pretty good thought, really.

Her head nodding again, she fell against the table with a 'thump'. Swearing loudly, she punched it, and glared at the thing for being in her way.

Katerina flipped the page and saw that it was the last one. While she didn't mind studying, she was thankful, she still had more books and subjects to go. Plus, it was starting to get warmer and warmer, well, as warm as Durmstrang could get, and heat always messed with her head, making it harder to focus.

As she took down the last few notes, the table shook slightly, making her hand miss the right line and the ink accidentally fall on the previous words. She groaned and looked at the girl nearby, who had been punching the table. "Hey, you!" she called out, "If you've got a problem with the table, take it somewhere else."
