 Open Post!! ^-^
It was around midday; the weather was rather drab to a certain degree. While it wasn't necessarily dark and dreary, it had just snowed though so the grounds were still a winter wonderland. To which, that was something grand in and of itself, but for Archie, that was more of a fun view to behold instead of being in.
Hence why the Slytherin found himself slithering into one of the rooms on the sixth floor of Hogwarts. The room that he entered was basically empty save for the large fireplace, lone rug, and long mirror. Something about the entire space gave a small clue that it was an old office of some kind, perhaps? Although it was relatively large, the way everything was laid out within gave off that vibe. Not to mention, there was that rather...peculiar smell to say the least. Archie didn't mind it, but it was a far cry from being something like a run-of-the-mill room freshener. Such was the way of it though, given that it had seemed emptied and desolate for quite some time now. No matter though. It still seemed like a nice and cozy spot to just relax for a few in between classes, and read or something of the sort. The first thing which still needed to be resolved first though, was bringing some illumination to the dark room, but the O'Brien wasn't about to get a fire started. There wasn't any way he'd even get close to doing that. So, the third year would have to resort to using a different spell.
Taking a seated position, criss-cross on the rug, he'd set his backpack next to his right-hand side. From which, in one of the lone pockets at the top, being safely stowed away, he'd withdraw his wand alongside a book that was kept tucked away in the main area of the book bag. Simply, Archie would then say "Lumos!" while waving the wand in a manner similar to how the Omega symbol looked. It would then light up from one end, providing enough light to enshroud the area around him. After this was done, he'd tuck the wand into one of the bottle holders on the side of his bag to keep it propped up so that way he didn't have to hold it. Opening the fantasy novel, the young lad would start reading onwards.
