(Y/n's P.O.V)
The Hogwarts school is in the middle of a severe coronavirus pandemic, and it's caused a lot of changes in our daily routine. We're all confined to the castle, unable to leave for holidays or send letters in fear of the virus spreading through the owls. The classes have been canceled, and we can't socialize with students from other houses. We eat our meals in the standard room, and we have designated times to go outside to avoid running into other students.
It's been weeks since I last saw my girlfriend Nymphadora Tonks, and it's been a challenge coping with the separation. She's in Hufflepuff, and I'm a Gryffindor. We can't see each other until the situation gets better. It's tough not being able to be with the one you love, but I'm hopeful that things will get better soon.
The curfew is now at 7:30, and no one is allowed out after that. The teachers and prefects roam for an hour, bringing us to 8:30 before the Castle goes silent. Most students go to bed early, hang out in their dorms, or do homework until the lights are turned off.
But tonight's different. I'm taking advantage of the new times and sneaking out with Tonks. I've got a bag with a torch, food, a drink bottle, and the Marauders Map. Being Remus Lupin's sister and a Marauder has its advantages. I open the portrait door, and the Fat Lady is supposed to stop anyone from sneaking out, but she's easily distracted. I tell her I need to go to the loo, and she lets me out. Tonks doesn't have the same advantage, but all the portraits are asleep by 10, so she can say she's going to the loo and come back after a while.
Tonks meets me by the Black Lake, and we sit on a rock, catching up on everything we've missed. We tell each other how much we miss one another, and it's great to see her again. Tonks' hair is bright Bubblegum Pink, which is a sign of love. She's so funny and quirky, and that's the reason I love her so much. All my friends are in Tonks' house, so I never get to see them. It's great to hear about them from Tonks.
Tonks asks me some questions about why the school has been quarantined, and we discuss how no one knows if the virus affects witches and wizards. To be safe, they separated us, knowing some of us are from Muggle neighborhoods or are Muggle Borns. It's been challenging dealing with the pandemic, but I'm hopeful that you want me to rewrite the text to be more descriptive. Here's the revised version:
