Welcome back after a hit if a break. I just started a job, so I've been working on balancing that, but I worked it out and now I'm back! This is for Hogwarts, assignment 7. I chose the Arithmancy task, which had several options for prompts. I chose the one in which I must write about a character who is intuitive ending up being lazy. Lets see what I get written here! Not quite sure what would qualify as "intuitive" but lets get this started!

Luna sat staring at all the homework in front of her. It was OWL year, and the teachers at Hogwarts seemed to think they needed to prepare by having extreme amounts of homework.
"Luna!" Putting her quill down, Luna turned around to see Ginny, her red hair frizzy from the drizzle that had started earlier that afternoon. "What are you working on now, McGonagall's essay on Animagi or Slughorn's on Veritaserum?"
"Actually it's the diagrams for Astronomy, I just finished them," Luna answered. Astronomy was one of Luna's best subjects, but these new diagrams were the trickiest yet.
"Oh, I completely forgot about those!" Ginny exclaimed, clapping her forehead. "Well, she's usually pretty lenient about late stuff. I'll just forget about that for tonight and do it tomorrow for next class." Looking at her watch, Ginny saw that it was 11 p.m. "Speaking of, it's time for class. Let's go!"
"Hold on, let me get all my things together, then we'll go." Luna capped her inkpot, shoving it, her quills, and the leftover bits of parchment into her school bag. Picking up her books, she got up and faced Ginny.
Ginny and Luna started on their way to the Astronomy tower, mostly in silence for a bit.
"Luna, did we have anything else? I really don't want to have anything missing for McGonagall or Snape. My grades would seriously be ruined if that happened. The professors will all call me lazy."
Luna thought for a moment before answering. "We have those diagrams of the Bowtruckles from Hagrid, and the essay on Venomous Tentacula for Sprout, but they're not due until Wednesday. Don't worry about Hagrid's, he'll never punish you for being late."
Ginny nodded, grinning at her. "You're one to talk, you never miss assignments!"
Luna laughed at her. "Yes, I did forget the one essay from Sinistra set us on life numbers."
Ginny remembered this, nodding. "One time! That's absolutely nothing. I'd rather be lazy, but I gave to keep up to graduate!"
