My peaceful sleep was disturbed by almost inaudible tapping from the bathroom window . Barely awake I turn over , groaning in the process. The sun was just staring to peak through my window.
Even in the middle of winter the sun manages to come out , only for a few moments though - before black gloomy clouds cover up the gleaming brightness
As my sleep progresses the tapping becomes more prominent, turning into an aggressive hitting . I dragged my limb body out of bed , yawning in the process- cursing the damn bird that woke my dreamless sleep
Curiously walking into the bathroom - after the "incident" I've been very precautions when roaming around the hallways , I seem to always be glancing behind me - seeing if I'm being followed , things haven't been the same after . As in I feel as if I'm being watched , perhaps I'm overthinking the whole deal , or my mind is playing tricks on me - but one can't be too sure , it's easy to leave something alone until it's too late
I open the window letting the small owl in - hopping inside, flapping its wings I smile down at the little creature wondering if he has problems flying in the horrible snow storms . Untying the letter from its foot , I make myself comfortable sitting in the bay window looking out over the now white fields

Dear Morgana

Albus has instructed the whole of the staff to attend a formal dinner tonight , reason being to make sure all professors are in full knowledge of the up coming events of the tournament
Dress code strictly formal as requested by the Headmaster

Minerva

I've come to realize that Albus is a very strange man , the more abnormal a person he is the more I begin to understand the wisdom in his choices and decisions - at the beginning I always questioned his plans , but I've soon come to realize it's best to wait and see what will happen
So If he wanted to host a dinner party tonight , I'm up for it - it's rather odd though to have a event so close to the ball , but as I said - I'm up for anything , a little fun won't hurt anyone

Throwing the letter onto my bed , I open my closet - surprisingly tidy I thought , the house elves are often cleaning my room and making sure it's up to scratch , I have to hand it to them I'm not the most tidiest person when it comes to my room , rather ashamed of it to say the least - I'm very grateful for them anyway
Looking for clothes to wear , I'm not surprised to find only muggle clothes and perhaps a teachers uniform amongst the neat piles . I often wear simple t's and jeans under my professional clothing , the cloak covers up my whole outfit entirely - so I'm comfortable and look up to standard in the process , it's a win win situation really

Having fed up with looking for an outfit, and deciding I'll leave it to the last moment- as I usually do I head back to bed , trying my best to catch up on sleep especially when I'm not having dreams at the moment. I'm been doing a lot of studying lately while the students have been practicing for their play , I've stepped back and let them do their own thing while I'll do mine - I read the other day that if you eat anything before bed it can be a cause of nightmares , so I've cut out in my chocolate at night and it's seemed to help these past few days , but I'm not too sure how long it's going to last

Once again my sleep was interrupted by knocking, but aggressive pounding on my door this time , I groaned covering my head with a pillow "Up" he said from outside the door , without saying anything I threw the pillow at the door - the thumping noise was my reply, I smirked against the covers realizing I've pissed him off already

"It's highly unprofessional to be late for work , but I'm sure you know all about the improper standards don't you " he said leaning against the door frame looking into my room , I honestly didn't even understand what he said , I was too busy ignoring him

"Don't you have better things to do " I said mumbling

He looked at me with a wicked gleam in his eyes as he observed me , feeling uncomfortable at the silence that fell over i threw another pillow at him ordering him to leave . He didn't budge much to my surprise it seemed he moved a little bit closer to me - doing the only rational thing I could think of , I pushed him out by force
