Once Lotte entered into the vicinity of the Ravenclaw Common Room, she couldn't help but let out a deep breath. No matter how many times she had seen this place, she still couldn't get used to the... aura -was that the correct word?- it exuded. She glanced to her right and noticed huge arched windows adorned with royal blue silks. She craned her neck and marveled at the sight that lay overhead. The domed ceiling was decorated with thousands of stars.

"This place is amazing," she muttered to herself, scurrying over to take a seat near the fireplace. Hugging her knees to her chest, she sighed as her body melted into the plush sofa. With a faint smile etched on her face, she flipped open her book and began to lose herself in the story.
