It was a few hours after supper and Jina spent the time tackling her Charms homework in the study hall. Well truthfully, she spent perhaps half an hour really working. She couldn't even remember what she did other than that - a bit of fiction reading, some doodling, anything other than studying. Soon afterwards, she found herself yawning and rubbing her eyes, so she arbitrarily decided that she had done enough work, packed up her bag and left the hall. By the time she dragged herself up the third flight of stairs, she realised how pathetic she was for having achieved nothing during her study session. And now she was going to fail all her exams, disappoint her teachers, get rejected from universities and basically ruin her life. On the other hand, she hated this whole self-criticism thing she was doing. She knew that it was okay to relax once in a while even in her NEWT year, but it was difficult to do so without feeling guilty. … Wait, where was she anyway? She must have taken a wrong route while walking up to her common room.

Feeling exasperated, she walked down the corridor once: I just want to relax.

No, the common room should be at the other end of the corridor. She walked back down the corridor for the second time: I just want to relax.

Actually, she was right the first time. She turned around and walked past that strange tapestry for the third time: I just want to RELAX.

“What the - “ she said out loud as a door appeared out of nowhere opposite the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy. She opened the door cautiously and peeked inside. It was a wide room decorated with her favourite plants and furnished with comfortable armchairs. There were even beautiful abstract artworks hanging on the walls. Everything just looked very … relaxing. This was just what she wanted! With a half-shocked, half-happy expression on her face, Jina held the door open and looked up and down the corridor again.
