Enjoy this drabble featuring Alice & Marlene. :)


Penguins


Alice entered her Transfiguration class nervously. Her first class at Hogwarts! She was extremely excited and arrived a couple minutes early. The room was mostly empty, with only a few people there.

She wondered where she should sit, and noticed that a girl from her house was here. Deciding to be bold, Alice sat down next to her.

"Is it okay if I sit here?" Alice asked.

The girl looked up from her book bag and smiled.

"Yeah, it's fine. I'm Marlene McKinnon," she said.

Alice smiled back, "Alice Price."

So happy that she had made another friend, she accidentally knocked a piece of parchment onto the floor.

"Sorry, I'll get it," Alice said already bending over to reach it. After grabbing the parchment, she noticed Marlene's socks. They had penguins on them.

Straightening herself out, she handed Marlene the parchment.

"Penguins are absolutely adorable," Alice said conversationally.

Marlene's face scrunched up in confusion, but then she suddenly looked sheepish.

"They're my favorite animal," Marlene said glancing towards her socks.
