It was late, probably a couple hours after midnight and Lexi found herself unable to sleep. After lying in bed, trying to fall back asleep for a few minutes she realized that it was impossible, and headed down to the common room with a book in hand. She didn’t want to wake up any of her roommates.
Sitting in the chair closest to the fire she pulled her legs up close to her. The book she was reading was titled, ‘The Great Gatsby’. One of her friends who went to muggle school had recommended it to her, saying that they had needed to read it during school. Lexi was almost finished with it. The book only had nine chapters and at the moment she was on chapter seven.
Why was she unable to sleep? Because she was feeling a bit homesick. Her past years at Hogwarts she had had at least one family member with her, but now Chase and Braiden had both graduated, leaving her alone. Sure, she should probably be old enough to handle it, but that didn’t mean she didn’t miss them.
Lexi shivered a bit. Standing up, she grabbed the chair and moved it a bit closer to the fire. She then went back to the original position she had been in and read her book once more. It was no surprise that she was cold with what she was wearing. A tank top and a pair of short shorts. The tank top was white while the shorts were lime green. They were her sleeping clothes, so she had expected to be warm under the blankets the entire night. Now, she was kind of wishing she had brought a blanket with her.
