| | Spare Office If you happen to try one of the doors near the end of the sixth-floor corridor, you might just find yourself in a handsome (if not dusty and aged) office of a surprisingly large size. The faint smell of crystallized pineapple seems to linger in the air of the room, which contains numerous side doors and nooks and crannies. Unfortunately for you, all of them remain firmly locked so there is no telling what lies behind them.
Although the room is devoid of any office-like furniture, or any furniture at all, there is still an impressive, but faded, rug before the large fireplace and long mirror hanging over that to boot. The spare office is still a cool place to hang out, practice some wandwork, or do some light reading. Just don't linger here too long because the allegedly esteemed former person that resided here was only fond of certain guests, of whom were one of his favourites and were only welcome to visit him in this office only as long as they didn't ask prying questions about specific moments in his past.

| For anyone!
Taking on extra classes during NEWT year was likely a ridiculous idea, but ya know... whatever. Dora was also tutoring some people this term, so more stuff to stick on a uni application. Yas! Chewing her lip a bit, the blonde girl pushed the door to her favorite spot in the castle aside from her common room, that is and proceeded inside.
It was likely an odd spot for her to come for some clarity, but something about the smell of pineapple and the big rug and mirror made her feel... comfortable. Dropping her bag to the floor she made her way over to the rug and plopped down cross legged.
OKAY.
Time to get cracking. Pulling her Potions book from her bag first she opened it up and began pouring over the notes she had added in the margins. She was going to ace first exam!

Every once in a while Rosalyn liked the idea of finding a new spot to read, and it had occurred to her earlier that day that the spare office would make for the perfect spot because it was quiet and had a large fireplace. It amazed her that she hadn't actually thought of coming here earlier.
Pleased with herself, she opened the door, breathing in the faint whiff of crystallized pineapple... and was greeted by a student who seemed to be in the middle of studying. "Oh, I'm sorry to disturb you, Miss Umbridge." Especially in the middle of what was probably a cram session for upcoming NEWTs. It was nice to see students getting down to business at the start of term instead of waiting until the last minute and then having a panic attack. Rosalyn would just leave her to what she had been doing and find somewhere else to go. |

It was Professor History Newton. That was what she called her anyway. Or was it Newton History? She couldn't remember off hand. But that was not the thing to be mulling over at the moment.
" No bother, Professor. What were you coming in here for?" the Gryffindor asked as she closed her Potions book. Not like she was doing anything just yet anyway. And did that sound rude? She hadn't meant for it to be if it had been. She was merely curious about why Professors did what they did sometimes.

She hadn't meant for it to be if it had been. She was merely curious about why Professors did what they did sometimes. Some people might have been bothered by the question, but Rosalyn knew that Dora was merely curious as to what she was up to as opposed to feeling particularly put out. "I was just thinking that I would get a bit of reading done here. Sometimes I like to find new places and see how much I like them." Not that the spare office was NEW new to her or anything; she'd known about this place for years. She just hadn't spent much time here until now.
The textbook was closed and that surely meant that her talking wasn't much of a problem. "Feeling confident about your NEWTs?" Did Dora have a study group? Partner? Something? Or was she doing all this cramming on her own? |
