Ravenclaw Ravenclaw Study Tables


{Banner by sweetpinkpixie}

Set up around the Homework and Announcements board are a small group of dark-wooden tables with matching chairs creating a designated place for the serious homework doer. Although students are more than welcome to work on essays and spell-work on the couches by the fireplace or in their dormitories, this is a place where you can work in the Common Room and can ask your fellow sharp-witted Ravenclaws for help or gaze out the large windows for a spark of inspiration.

The tables are in better shape than last term with all the legs being repaired but the supply of ink wells and quills are still obviously used and a little worn.

Good luck with your studies or have fun playing a game or two with your housemates.

Gwen plopped down at the table and dropped her notebook and pen down. This whole letter-writing thing was getting pretty old really fast. She sat down and uncapped the pen. Not only did she not like writing with a quill, she sucked at it, and her father would think it was weird.

Dear Daddy, She started. What now? What was she going to tell her father? Gwen knew that if she was going to write him a letter it had to be grammar perfect. He was a lawyer and unlike Gwen, super-smart. If it wasn't perfect, he wouldn't really care about the content. He would be more concerned with correcting her writing. She could tell him about the wonderful winged horses, or the difficulties she was having keeping up with kids from magical families. She could tell him the same old things she had written to her mom about. But her dad was more important. She just wished he had picked up the phone when she called.

Daddy, She started again.
I miss you very much. School is exciting but I'm finding it hard to keep up. There are so many subjects here that I never knew existed. I'm awful at potions. I love flying though! We get to do real flying on broomsticks like witches in fairy tales! It's amazing. I wish you were here. I miss your funny stories about work. I miss our day trips and making mom mad. I know I'm supposed to stay with mom for Christmas because I'm here most of the year, but I wanted to know if it was okay if I came home? All of the other kids will be at your place for Christmas and holidays with just me and mom will be terrible. At least can I split them between the two? We don't get Thanksgiving off here. I would bet most kids don't really know what it is. Let me know, and please please please say yes.
Love,
Gwen
It wasn't perfect, or even very close. She hadn't even said all she wanted to say, but it felt different over paper than it did seeing him face to face. Hopefully sometime she could FaceTime him from the technology center. Right?

Lana knew there was really no time to spare and that she needed to get a head of the game now. If she waited too long, she would definitely get behind on her homework and she really didn't want that considering that she did have NEWTS coming up.

Yes, it had finally hit her that this was her last year and there were many things that would be vying for her attention and her time. Best just get every assignment done as soon as she could. It would probably stress her out less and she wouldn't feel so rushed in the later weeks.

Finding what was probably her favourite spot at one of the tables, she unpacked her bag. Setting her textbook and journal in front of herself, she reached into her bag for her phial from potions. She had wrapped it up safely before leaving the dungeon and once she hand her fingers around it once again, she carefully set it atop the table.

Holding it up, she admired the dark blue colour of it. All the concerns she had during the lesson were pretty much gone now, but she wasn't too thrilled to have the potion in her mouth again. It left a very odd feeling after she had tried it before. The effects of the potions hadn't really bothered her too much, but she did want to examine them again without feeling like she was really rushed.

Lily made her way down from her dorm carrying a stack of books and parchment and made her way over to one of the vacant tables. Since she had a free period, she decided that she'd better make use of it and get some work done. First up: Muggle Studies, specifically because it was the easiest to do since she grew up in a muggle world. Pulling out her parchment and quill, the seventh year got to work.

Real cars typically fit more than one person, to start, as most people with cars drive other people around. Real cars also have both a brake pedal and a gas pedal when most bumper cars have just the gas pedal. Real cars run on gasoline or diesel with only some running on electric power. Bumper cars only run on electricity. Real cars can also go way more places than bumper cars since they aren't connected to anything.

2. What would the advantages be to having your own car versus having to use public transit such as bus or tram?
By having your own car, you can go anywhere you want anytime you want without having to wait around for a bus or tram. Buses and trams can sometimes be crowded or noisy, but your own car may be crowded or noisy, but typically only if you want it to. Having your own car means you can drive friends around wherever and whenever you wish. Buses and trams don't change their schedule just for you or your friends.

3. And the disadvantages to owning your own car to public transit such as bus or tram?
When you own your own car, you need to pay for gas, all the time, because it's your car. When you ride the bus, you can get bus passes and not have to pay as much. When you ride the bus, you also don't have to sit in traffic and risk falling asleep and crashing your car. Even if the bus does crash, you don't have to take the blame since you're not driving. Also, public transportation can be pretty reliable and it's good for the environment.

4. Name at least one other fun game / amusement ride that muggles applied ordinary transportation to in a new twist
Muggles have these rides for people of all ages that are known as trains. They typically bring people to different stations around the park with a nice scenic view. Often times they even have crossings over pathways that have the little crossing markers to alert the pedestrians of the coming train.

5. For the safety-conscious: what do you think everyone should be aware of when using any form of ground transportation to ensure the protection/safety of yourself and those around you?
All ground transportation forms can be dangerous, so wear your seatbelt if there is one. Also, stay in your seat while the form of transportation is in motions, given that there are enough seats. If there are no free seats, hold onto one of the bars of handholds in place to make sure you don't get hurt.

Extra Credit: If the Magic School Bus could take you anyplace, where would you want to go and why? The more creative answers will be worth more, up to five points
I think I would want to go to the muggle olympics because they were my favorite event when I lived in my muggle hometown. Everyone in the wizarding world is all about the quidditch world cup, but I want people to see what the world cup is for muggles: the summer and winter olympics. Two weeks of awesome-ness in the host city when all you get to do is soak in the customs and watch people win awesome events would be the ideal magic school bus trip for me.


Finishing up her homework for muggle studies, Lily started working on another subject, pushing her books to the side so she had room.
