Over to the far end of the Common Room is a separate room where desks are aligned by the windows. Showcasing the underwater where occasionally the Giant Squid and other water creatures swim on by. Quite a tranquil setting, yes? This is just the place to have a quiet time completing assignments or reviewing for those pesky O.W.L and N.E.W.Ts. Be sure not to plagarise, we're better than that.
Instead take a look through old class notes and books that have been left behind by graduating students, including the Hogwarts A History. The notes and books have been filed alphabetically by class and year. In addition there are helpful hints written in the margins as well as pertinent information highlighted so it can be easily located for anyone.

At least twice a week, Declan took out two or three hours to do some independent studying. It wasn't on anything that was required for class. It wasn't like he was taking Advanced Divination yet. Still, even if he was, he highly doubted the kind of stuff he was trying to compile would be useful for the school's predictable curriculum. In reality, Declan had pretty much read every book dedicated to Divination and similar subjects that the Hogwarts' Library allowed him access to.
The Restricted Section had its allure. Often Declan had found himself standing in front of the gate, disoriented and numb, unsure of how he had gotten there in the first place. Now the librarian gave him odd looks whenever he entered even if he was just looking up books on plants and herbs.
Charlotte laid on top of his velvet bag containing his casting bones. Her eight legs remained still but Declan could hear her distinct voice, a gritty grainy thin voice he couldn't really decipher.
"You got something on your mind, sweetheart?" he whispered to her, stopping himself half-way through writing down notes on the relevance of planetary alignment when it came to prophetic dreams. "You know I'm no good at reading you yet. Sorry. My incompetence knows no limits, huh?" His tone turned sweet, and he rubbed at her fuzzy belly. |

| For Declan Oh, how we drift away from our friends. And the ones back home play remember when
Zelena needed to distract herself and doing some reading on her favourite subjects seemed like the best thing to do. She headed for the study tables and after grabbing a couple of books each on the subject of Charms and Transfiguration, spotted a fellow Sixth-Year surrounded by charts and was that a spider? How cute.
"Hello there. Can I sit next to you? Nice spider you've got there." | |

A voice he could actually discern startled him. Declan jumped slightly and withdrew his hand from Charlotte. Again, he was struck with how bad he was with attaching names to faces. Her hair was a particular shade of grey that told him she was neither a "Daisy" or "Etta" type.
"What color is your hair?" he asked her bluntly before realizing how rude he was being. "I'm sorry, yeah, it's fine. You can sit," he added quickly, moving his charts, books and notes further to one side to allow her room on the table. "I'm just..." Being an absolute weirdo. Declan cleared his throat, drummed his fingers on the table nervously, and kept his eyes on Charlotte. "She's sweet." | |

Declan cleared his throat, drummed his fingers on the table nervously, and kept his eyes on Charlotte. "She's sweet." Was the question about hair colour aimed at the witch or the spider? That she wasn't sure of so she didn't say anything. Zelena shrugged very slightly as she sat down and carefully placed the books on the table, making sure she was careful around the spider. "What's your spider's name? Oh, I'm Zelena by the way." The redhead saw that the charts were divination charts. "I take it that your favourite subject is Divination." | |

The redhead saw that the charts were divination charts. "I take it that your favourite subject is Divination." Had she missed his question entirely. Declan watched her, thinking maybe she was just trying to think of a way to reply. The reply never came but she asked a question instead. "Her name is Charlotte." Declan paused to watch her get comfortable, and saw her eyes land on his charts. Declan's hands twitched feeling a protective need to cover them with his hands. "Declan," he introduced himself simply and nodded. "Well, I think mostly, it's just the one that holds my interest the most? I don't know about favorite." He allowed a moment of silence before daring to ask again. "I'm sorry, what hair color is that?" he asked pointing at her head with a nod of his chin.

"Charlotte is a lovely name." She saw Declan pointing at her hair. Oh, so it was the colour of HER hair that he was asking about then. "I am a redhead but sometimes my hair is a strawberry blonde with that shade being more red than blonde." Zelena replied as she twirled some hair around her index finger.

"Oh, I'm sure she appreciates the compliment," Declan said barely holding back a smile. He tried but he was quite proud of the tarantula he didn't quite raise. Charlotte had done it all mostly on her own. He looked up at Zelena's hair, trying to memorize that particular shade of grey to his head as redhead. "Ahh, so that's what red is supposed to look like. Sort of." | |

She was curious as to why the young man was rather interested in her hair, particularly the colour. Zelena then had a thought. Hopefully, she wasn't going to offend Declan by asking. "I was just wondering if you were perhaps, colourblind. It is just that you seem focused on the shade of my hair. I am so sorry if I offend." | |

Declan leaned back a little. He frowned and hummed as he thought back to when he first met Charlotte. "Uhhh, I'd sayyy," he drawled trying to figure out a more accurate number but coming up short. "About three years? It was my third year and I'm finishing my sixth year here at Hogwarts so I think that sounds about right."
He wondered if he had been very obvious or the girl was very clever. He wasn't sure but he was taken aback by her guess. Declan nodded with raised eyebrows. "Yeah, I am. Not offended though. It's not a big deal. It's just something that's true." | |

"I am glad that I didn't offend you. I am quite observant and it annoys quite a number of people. I tend to take after my father in that respect." | |
