Tayla went straight to the study tables after getting her things from the girls' dormitory. Maxwell was no longer in the common room, so he probably went to his room and got his things, too.

She put her rolls of parchment, quill, and bottle of ink on the desk, and checked the small to-do notebook. She realized she had already done her Herbology homework. It was Arithmancy she needed to work on. Now that subject, she had to work a little extra hard in.

She waited for Maxwell to arrive. She'd still help him with Herbology if he needed it. It wasn't her best subject either, but she did quite well because of Professor Bentley.

In the meantime, Tayla opened her Arithmancy notebook and reviewed what she had to do.
