It's so crowded here by the way. The brunette girl glanced around and realized that mostly this place was full of the Hogwarts students. Gosh, they were soooo noisy and blah... Maybe because she spent most of her time alone in library or lab for studying so she's not really comfortable being here. Well, she's being here because she wanted to see her old friend who now was currently struggling for NEWTs. Speaking of... There she was. "Hey there, Z!" Her smiled widened as Zhenya walked to her and gave a hug. Raven was not really a hugger and also not really the friendliest person in the world except when she was with Zhenya. In fact that she's the only friend that she had now besides her cancer ward group, but most of them were already dead now.

"That explains why you looked so horrible." She said as she noticed Zhenya looked so tired and sleepy. But well, she was so familiar with that since medical school was also consuming her sleep time. "Well, I'm great. Hopkins is good though the competition is so tight there. I'm surrounding by the genius muggles and Ivy league snobs." That was her term to describe a bunch of arrogant students who came from Ivy league institution and often underestimate others who came from public or community college like her. "But going to Hopkins is the best decision that I've ever made in my life." She continued. And Seattle? Merlin, she missed that city very much. Especially the ferry-boat riding and the rain. "I haven't went back there since last year." Maybe she should visit Seattle next summer since Milla still lived there.

"I'm not gonna ask how's your life going on since I already see it from your lack-of-sleep face." She slightly chuckled. "Don't you really have a life besides locking yourself for NEWTs? If yes, then we're same." Like she had said before, most of her time was for studying. Because she had set her goals like be the first class of Johns Hopkins Medical School, getting a surgical residency in a famous hospital, and of course being a foremost neurosurgeon. Raven took the last gulp of her second butterbeer and now she wanted to order another glass... "You want some drinks? I'll treat ya, don't worry."


Zhenya just laughed at what her friend said. She knew she looked terrible. Pale, thin, dark shadows around her eyes. She looked like a zombie vampire. She just brushed it off. After the exams, she would spend as much time as she could outside, freshening up.

She listened as her friend spoke of Hopkins. It sounded great, but stressful. "Ivy League? What's that?" she asked. "How come you're not in that league? You're the smartest person I know!" Although if it was all snobby people, Zhenya was glad Raven wasn't part of that group.

Oh that was right - Raven moved away from Seattle. Zhenya facepalmed at her own mind blank. "Um... where was Hopkins again? Boston? Baltimore?" B something perhaps? Zhenya couldn't remember. Obviously her memory had cleared out all the non-exam information. Hopefully it was just stored away somewhere safe, and hadn't been destroyed. She'd need that information after NEWTs.

Zhenya shook her head, "Nope. Library, my bed, common room, empty classes... corridors... you name the place and I've studied there. Alone." She shrugged, "Mostly just the library and the common room. The house elves make a nice hot chocolate when I want to go to bed though," she smiled. It helped her relax. Raven was buying? "Oh um... thanks Raven. I'd love a butterbeer actually," she said.
