On the other side of the common room, away from the game corner for obvious reason, you can find the study tables. It's all fun and game in Gryffindor until someone gets a T on the next pop quiz.

Looking for a place to unwind? Library overcrowded with Ravenclaws? Come plop down in one of several comfy chairs at this sturdy, oak table. The immediate area has been charmed making it more quiet than the rest of the common room and by the table sits a bookshelf of moderate size. Nothing too grand but enough to possibly save you a trip downstairs to get your homework done.

If you've got no intention of studying, please don't disrupt those that do. Remember, just because you don't want to pass your OWLs, doesn't mean the next wizard or witch doesn't want to either.
