Not a lot of her housemates enjoyed breaking he rules, but Dolly didn’t really mind. Not anymore, anyways. She used to be that timid, little first year that minded every single rule. But as she grew older, Doll found them to be more of a set of guidelines if anything. She figured if she wasn’t harming anybody, how bad could it be to bend a few rules every now and then. Besides, she was young, and her days at Hogwarts were numbered. What good would her memories be if she didn’t even enjoy them? So when Dahlia’s restless mind refused to let her sleep, she quickly threw on a robe and a pair of boots, and left the Hufflepuff common room. She had no idea where she was headed, but she figured that she’d find out once she got there.
She quietly sang a tune to herself, her right hand gently gliding along the stone, cold walls. She took a few rights, made a few lefts, went up a flight of stairs, then went down a few more. Soon enough, she found herself in unfamiliar territory. Dahlia crossed her arms, feeling the cold, murky air of the dungeons raise the hairs on her skin. She wasn’t very familiar with this part of the school. Mainly because she liked to keep to the parts of the school that didn’t send chills down her spine.
Her singing became a low hum as she turned the corner, looking back to see if anyone was following her. She turned her head forward and immediately let out a loud scream as she collided into another body.
