43 Hallow in Veteris ground

When the day of Hallow finally arrived on the campus of Veteris, the teachers held classes only until noon before the students were dismissed from the classes. Most students had skipped classes, leaving only the studious ones like Julie and Melanie attending the classes. 

"They might as well have declared a holiday instead of conducting three classes," stated Melanie when they made their way through the almost empty corridors. 

"I would have slept more or skipped classes if I knew this was going to happen," agreed Julie, holding the strap of her bag on her shoulder. Tonight she was going to the forest and meet the letter thief, the last thing she needed was falling asleep before she met him. 

"True, but this might be their tactic," said Melanie with a thoughtful look on her face. "Even though they extended the curfew time, some of us will feel exhausted and then head to bed early," Melanie came up with the reason, and Julie smiled.
