Maria sighed heavily as she thought back to what made her come to Hogsmeade this particular sunny morning. School was to start soon and as usual, she had been in her family's sitting room reading books for pre studying before the new school year at Hogwarts. It's what she did every year so she didn't see what was so wrong with it but apparently her mom had seen something wrong. It had only been about an hour that Maria was studying when her mom came in and ushered her out of the house, telling her to go have fun.
So here she was, eleven o'clock in the morning, listening to birds chirping while walking to the Three Broomsticks. What her mom hadn't seen Maria do before leaving was grabbing her potions book and shoving it into her purse. If she had to go out, she was still going to study at some point. Even though it was sunny out, it was a bit windy and for that Maria was glad she had chosen jeans, sneakers, a light blue t-shirt and a dark blue jumper to keep her warm. She wasn't one to like the cold, but she didn't particularly liked heat either.
Walking inside of the Three Broomsticks, she quickly ordered a butterbeer and took a seat at a table in the far back corner of the place so she would get some peace and quiet while she studied. Maria smiled to herself as she pulled the potions book out of her purse and sat it in front of her. "She really thought I wouldn't continue studying." Laughing quietly to herself, she opened the book up and began reading, sipping on her butterbeer every so often.
