Hannah's POV
-
As I watched the clock, I had ten seconds until it hit midnight, so I got out of my bed, trying not to make a noise, I opened my door, and I shut it slowly so it doesn't make a loud high pitched scream, I went down one step at a time, so they don't screech like a dying bird, or sound like an elephant stampede is running down them, as I reached the basement, I opened the basement door, "Enoch" I asked in a low tone, "Yeah" he whispered back to me, I lit a candle and brought it over to the table where Enoch and I were sitting at, Enoch took out a notepad and a pencil, "How about, No air" he asked I shook my head and blushed, "That's a love song" I said, he nodded, "How about lose it" I said, he nodded, "perfect" he whispered, we both blushed

It was now seven in the morning, we have been reading and talking for hours, so we decided to go out in the living room and chat until Fiona and Emma get up
-
Time Skip to 7:30 am, Fiona and Emma are getting up to make breakfast
-
Enoch and I put our books down that we were reading, because we heard light footsteps coming down the stairs, we saw, Emma and Fiona heading to the kitchen, we whispered to each other, we decided that we were going to scare them by going up behind them and tapping them on the shoulder, making them jump, so once they were in the kitchen, we walked up to them slowly and quietly, and we tapped them on the shoulder, they jumped about two feet in the air, then they turned around swiftly and sighed in relief, Enoch and I chuckled lightly, they rolled their eyes and asked us to set the table, we politely nodded, and went off to the dining room to set the table

Once we finished setting the table and Fiona and Emma were finishing breakfast for the other peculiars and Miss.P, we heard the other peculiars and our headmistress coming down the very loud creaking stairs, and they entered the dining area and sat down, we all seated ourselves and Fiona and Emma dished out the breakfast, French Toast And Bacon, the usual, as I looked across from where I was sitting, I saw Jacob, Claire, who was feeding her food to her back-mouth, and right next to her sat Hugh, who had a hat and a veil protecting the bees from escaping while he ate his breakfast, I also saw Emma, she was bucking herself to the chair so she doesn't float to the ceiling, and once, and we then I started eating

As I made it down to the basement with my sketchbook and my pencil, I was hot on Enoch's heels, as we reached the basement door, Enoch opened it, revealing shelves stocked with all assortments of hearts in jars, I sat down on the opposite of where Enoch sat and I started sketching another model of a homunculi

As I finished the little model sketch of the homunculi, it had buttons for eyes, two arms which were replaced by two small knifes, and the legs were replaced by two little wheels, it looked like a regular plush sewn doll, well, besides the small knifes for arms and the wheels for arms, I then showed the model sketch of the homunculi doll to Enoch, he grabbed the material for the design for the doll, in under twenty minutes, he made my sketch come to life, quite literally though, "Good job, you actually made my sketch come to life, quite literally," we both chucked and he nodded a 'thanks' back to me, we then went on to finish the rest of our day and stayed out and watched the reset.
