At first, Felicity wasn't going to say anything when Julie sat near her - considering the sheer amount of books she was dragging out of her bag, it looked like the younger girl was fairly busy. The sixth year wondered why she wasn't using watching the tryouts as a break from studying, and then reflected on her own fifth year - had she taken any breaks?

The answer was an empathetic 'no', but even revising twenty-four/seven didn't seem to have done her any good. It was the second sigh that made Felicity turn, a sympathetic look on her face. "OWL's already stressing you out?" Because, you know, she could totally relate.

However, she couldn't really offer much in the way of help, if her own scores were anything to go off. And, in other news, Julie seemed to be the only other person in the whole school who wasn't trying out for the House team. Huh. "You don't play?" she added, inclining her head in the direction of their house mates warming up.
