{Aria}
Aria sat in the back of the classroom, her white hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall of moonlight. There was, undeniably, a certain novelty to these classes. Beyond, of course, her investigation of Melisa Blackflame.
[Is this what it feels like to be normal?] Aria mused, her grey eyes scanning the room. [Being one more body in a sea of pleated skirts and collared shirts... No wonder commoners are always so... peppy.]
The classroom buzzed with the low hum of conversation, punctuated by the occasional burst of laughter or groan of frustration as students practiced their spells. Naturally, they'd all spent that first day gawking at her, but today, they largely ignored her.
It was all so wonderfully... ordinary.
The professor cleared his throat at the front of the room.
