A/N: For the Character of the Week Competition (week 1: Rolanda Hooch, drabble 1: write a drabble with the prompt yellow)
It's her father's idea to send her to a Muggle primary school.
"She needs to be integrated into both worlds," he explains.
Her mother talks of how dangerous it is, how unpredictable a young witch's magic can be. But she agrees, if reluctantly.
..
Rolanda doesn't like primary school. She feels it deep inside that she does not really belong.
..
"How was school?" her father asks with and expectant smile.
"Fine," she says because the truth would make him sad.
..
"What's wrong with your eyes?"
"They're all yellow!"
"Ew. Freak!"
Rolanda ducks her head and pretends not to hear them.
..
Her teacher brings in a hawk to show the class.
A hawk with yellow eyes, just like Rolanda.
The young witch smiles to herself as she runs her fingers carefully over the sleek tawny feathers.
..
"How was school?" her father asks.
Rolanda beams. "Great! I know what I wanna be when I grow up!"
"What's that?"
She smiles, thinking of those yellow eyes and majestic wings. "I wanna fly."
