"Lord, I finally caved in," Stephen whispered to himself as he entered the library and gathered all the books he needed to pass with NEWTs with exceeds expectation this year. Or at least the important ones he needed to get E's in. Which were Potions, Transfiguration, Charms, Herbology, and Defense Against the dark Arts. Carrying a load of books, he quickly made his way to the lounge section and took an empty seat. Setting the books down on a desk and turning on the lamp, Stephen took a book about Herbology and began reading it through. This was going to take him years to pass.

"I sure hope Aimee doesn't find me here," he murmured, knowing she'd be completely surprised to find him here. As would anyone else.
