"This was fun!"

"Yeah!" Bounce.

"Want to go hang them up now?"

She nods, grinning.

Ellie puts hers above her little study table.

Anathema hangs hers in the middle of her headboard - it goes rather nicely, actually, the headboard is simple enough it doesn't get too overwhelmed.

She also keeps glancing at Ellie's study table and grinning.

"It looks nice."

Wiggle. "Thanks."

Hee.

Anathema hums. "Think I'm gonna skip everything else until the sunset walk?" she says, after a moment. "Just hang out with you until then."

"Okay. I was gonna work on Transfiguration."

Smile. "I might lay down or read a bit..." She shrugs, a bit awkwardly. "Dunno. Today sounded really fun and it is, but it's ended up being a lot, too... Hanging out with you's never overwhelming, though."

"All right."

She smiles, flopping on her bed.

And back to work for Ellie.

Anathema dozes for a bit, then reads - ends up getting dinner from the kitchen - and then is back to bouncing energetically as sunset is approaching. 

"Time to go?"

"I think so, yeah."

"All right." She packs away her books and stands up.

Down to the gathering point outside, then. There's already a small knot of students around Professor McGonagall.

This is a popular activity, then.

Fairly. Still, Anathema sticks to the edge of the group with Ellie as the sun begins to set properly and they begin their walk across the grounds.

They don't go too deep, as promised - the Forest isn't even really spooky, yet - but there's a good sized clearing shortly in, where they can still see the stars through the trees, with log benches and rock seats. Professor McGonagall lights a fire as the students settle around.

Anathema, of course, sits beside Ellie. She doesn't seem very inclined to speak up, as first the professor and then assorted students start sharing traditional stories - sometimes with a bit of embellishment, by people's expressions - they associate with the autumn equinox, of deities and heroes, times long past and relatively recent, magic and myth. Anathema seems pensive about a lot of it.

Ellie doesn't really have any stories to share either; she's never paid much attention to seasonal events like equinoxes.
