...Hell week. Also known as the dreaded examination week of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Marius' eyelids drooped as he tried to understand a passage blathering on about some guy inventing some spell at some point in history. The book wedged between his legs was entitled "Spells and History" by Miranda Higgins, and the pages smelled of dust and time and more dust.
|Fekete Ugron, a Hungarian squib from a branch of the prominent and ancient House of Domonkos (see family tree in pg. 789), invented the Scent-masking spell in the year 1690. As a result of the sudden lycanthropic uprising of 1688, and the ensuing Hunt, he...
He scratched the tip of his inked quill against parchment. Fekete Ugron. House of Domonkos, Hundary. Scent-masking spell, 1690. Lycanthropic uprising, Hunt, 1688.
If you thought exam weeks were any different in a magical school, well, think again. He groaned softly and rubbed his face awake. It was absolute torture. He had studied for everything else two weeks beforehand, but history had to be constantly reviewed, and his mnemonics wouldn't stick no matter how many times he recited them to sleep. Marius brushed the feather against his chin and scratched his nose. "Fekete Ugron," he dutifully reminded himself. "Fekete, like feces, except with a k and it rhymes with machete. Ugron. Ugron. Rhymes with Age of Ultron. Argh."

Hil briefly thought that the library was like a can of sardines. Tightly packed.
Grumbling, she squeezed past a couple of first years and stumbled forward, awkwardly landing on her butt beside Marius. She caught the last of his words and frowned sympathetically. "History of Magic, huh?" She began.

Marius looked up, spent a little (like, a split-second) moment appreciating Tillman's bust, and shrugged, flapping a hand. "Yeaaah," he mumbled. He curiously eyed her, and asked. "You here to study?"

Emelie came into the library, her arms piled high with books. So much to do, so much to study, and so little time. She simply hated exams, with a burning passion, despite the fact that she usually didn't struggle with them too much. She made her way over to the table Hil and Marius were sitting at and sat down her pile before taking a seat.

Hil made a face. "Nah, not really." She replied shortly, crossing her arms against her chest in order to distract him from it. "The library's a bad place to study during exams. Too many people, y'know?"
She turned her head at Emelie's arrival and offered a smile. "Woah, hi, smart lowerclassman. What's that you got there?" She eyed the pile.

Susan had thought, since it was a library, it'd be quiet and maybe not so crowded. How wrong she was when she walked in. Students were seated everywhere, books open and reading. She sighed in frustration, trying to find an empty seat to study in or at least to try and find a friendly face.

Marius looked up at Emelie, and morosely cursed. Damn, Emerson really gets all the luck. She was so pretty.
He offered a small smile and whistled admiringly. "Who knew I'd see the day when I'd have a voluptuous brunette on my left and a gorgeous blond on my right?" He teased, recalling the tests they had during 6th year. Thank goodness he was on his last year. He saw Susan Raider from the corner of his eye, and thought, hey, why not?
"Hey, Raider!" He called softly, waving her over. The seating was tight, but hey, at least there was a seating still, right?
The librarian shushed him, and Marius grinned unabashedly.

Hil rolled her eyes and smacked Marius' arm, before she craned her neck and looked at Raider. Susan Raider, as far as she knew, was a lowerclassmen from her house. Min Yeon knew her?

Susan looked over when she heard her name called. She smiled and waved awkwardly at him, remembering him from the Quidditch field. "Hey, you all studying too?" she asked as she sat down.

Marius beamed at her. "Well, we're studying," he answered, gesturing to himself and Emelie. "I don't know with this one." He jerked a thumb towards Hil. Susan and Emelie probably already knew each other, seeing as they were both sixth years, and Hil and Susan were from the same house.

"Well, I'm working on charms. Though do any of you guys want help studying? I've got a pretty good grip on mine...hopefully," she said with a little laugh.

Emelie gave everyone at the table a small smile as she searched her stack of books for Astronomy book. "Indeed I am. Though...I really would prefer not to be."

Susan laughed. "I swear, they only give us big tests like this just to torture us more. As if the piles of homework weren't enough," she joked.

Marius perked up. "Sanders is in my 7th year Charms class, she's pretty advanced. If you need any help with Charms, you can ask her." He glanced at Emelie. "Or maybe not. I mean, look at the tall pile." He gestured to the books Emelie had brought along with her.

"Might as well be a sky scraper." Hil hummed thoughtfully. She smirked at Emelie. "I get what you mean, though. I absolutely hate studying, hence my lack of notes right now." She motioned to her empty hands.
After a minute, she hesitantly added, "Though my History of Magic needs work, too. I'll just share with Min Yeon."
