Meggera walked through the halls away from the Great Hall, a box under her arm, an early birthday present from her older brother. She was dressed in her usual Gothic Victorian style. She wore a floor length velvet black skirt, long black lace gloves, and a satin black high collared shirt. Her blue-grey eyes scanned the hall in front of her, watching amused as a few first years scattered as she approached. She smirked lightly. So the rumor of her being a vampire was still being used to frighten the First years? Well that was amusing. She continued to walk towards her destination. She had been attempting to eat breakfast in the Great Hall when her family’s ebony owl, Specter, had arrived with the package from her brother. She didn’t dare open the present in front of the entire school as her brother had a habit of putting prank gifts on top of her real gifts. Be it turning her hair green with a charm, or creating a small explosion to cover her face in soot. So she had learned over the years it was best to open any presents from him in seclusion. She looked around as she finally reached her destination, the courtyard.

Meggera walked out into the mainly deserted courtyard. She was alone except for the occasional student running through to get to class. Which was good. Meggera walked over to a stone bench and set the box down on it. She paused, contemplating her options for a moment before deciding to just open it and get it over with. She looked at the black gift box tied with a bright turquoise ribbon before tugging at the ribbon, removing it. She then took out her wand and used it to slowly lift the lid of the box. Nothing happened so far, so she lifted it further before finally flicking her wrist, removing it completely. She stared down into the box before reaching in and removing a medium sized crystal ball coated in fine sheen of iridescent glitter. Hmm...what are you plotting Alex? she thought as she gazed into the crystal.

She suddenly dropped the crystal into the grass with a startled yell as something flickered across the surface. Her heart raced as she stared down as the orb resting in the grass beneath her feet. She could’ve sworn she had just seen a grim reaper pass through the crystal. Her hand covered her heart as she looked at the sparkling orb, before tilting her head to the side curiously as black ink like marking started to scurry across the surface of the crystal. She let out a small aggravated sigh as they slowly came together to for the words Happy Birthday Meg-Alex with a grim reaper flying around in the background cackling. She bent over and scooped the orb up as the markings faded, depositing it back in the box before her attention was drawn to the arched entryway of the courtyard where a figure stood. They had probably been attracted by her started yell a few moments ago.

“Yes? Can I help you?” she asked, her tone not one of annoyance, or even interest. It was just sort of flat as she stared at the person, her eyes unreadable. She couldnt clearly see who was there...most likely a first year who would probably run away in terror when they realized it was the school 'vampire' that was there.
