Estell smiled to herself as she entered the dorm and sat in the chair that was closest to the fireplace. Sure, she missed Hogwarts and all the magic she can learn, but she feels most comfortable when by the fireplace. It reminders her much of her home where it's often very warm, thanks to her mother getting cold quite easily. She suppose that was the reason why she likes fires, or it could be that she's daughter of Hephaestus, god of fire and metalwork, so it was common for his children to be comfortable around fires.
After listening to the students around her entering and leaving, doing their work or chatting, she pulled out a silver pocketwatch and a small screwdriver from her robes pocket. She enjoys occupying herself whenever surrounded, it is able to keep her focused on one thing completely and drone out the rest of the scenery. The watch has been her project she had been working on since the beginning of the day, finally having the chance to finish it without the distraction of teachers and school work in the way. Pulling out the rest of the watch's pieces, she carefully opened it up and busied herself into completing it.
