Alexandra slipped out of the crowded castle and down the grounds. Everything had been a bit crazy lately, and she just wanted to get a little fresh air and relax. Alexandra slowed as she neared the lake. She saw the huge expanse of water and felt calmer already. Since she had already finished her Transfiguration homework, Alexandra had decided that she could catch up on some pleasure reading. She had tucked under her arm a few muggle books and Quidditch books. Sitting down under a beech tree, she happily dove into them.
