He came across an ominous looking tree. There were less people here. Excellent. He put the blanket he'd brought with him in the grass and gingerly sat down. It wouldn't do to wrinkle his robes. Ah, peace and quiet.
Parke pulled out an Arithmancy book, a Potions book, and some parchment, ink, and his favorite quill. He really wanted to become a researcher and he was currently hoping to find a way to integrate Arithmancy into Potions. Hopefully it would work. And so he began to read, stopping every now and then to jot down a quick note or two.
Oh thank Merlin, she had finally managed to get outside. Mia really hated being cooped up inside for too long but seeing how this was her OWL year it seemed she didn't have much choice. There was a lot of studying to be done especially for someone like her, who really sucked.
Not sure what made her want to head over to the Whomping Willow though because she didn't really like that violent tree but her feet had just seemed to take her there.
As she approached the tree closer, Mia spotted a boy who looked to be about her age but he could be older. These days you could never tell. He seemed to be rather engrossed in what he was reading and probably didn't want to be disturbed but Mia being the girl she was just couldn't help herself.
"Hello." She said brightly. "Quite a nice spot you've got here."
