fandomhighdorms | The Roof, Late Thursday night

The decrees issued by Principal Umbridge were becoming increasingly ridiculous. In a quiet and possibly not noticed way, River decided to break the curfew one by sneaking up on to the roof late at night. She lay down on her back, her arms stretched out and stared up into the sky. It was mostly cloudy, but here and there faint stars were visible between dark blue stretches. Even though the background noise was faint, River practised putting up a barrier, making the world around her go silent, and she could pretend she was floating in the blackness of space. She had a good imagination after all.

[The roof is open, of course]
