Even though she had been planning on going for a walk that day, Gwen decided to stop by the Courtyard first. This time with a book in her hand, the fifth year made her way pass the fountain, and headed towards the benches, eventually picking a random place where to sit. The Ravenclaw gave a quick look around, trying to figure out if any of her friends were around. Not really. Hmm, and she had only made plans with Ariadne to meet at the library sometime later that day, so that would mean she had plenty of time until then. Drawing her attention back to the book she was holding in her hand, the girl examined the cover for a moment before flipping the first pages in a hurry.

She had been willing to start reading it ever since she got it from her best friend on Diagon Alley, but with all the shopping she had to do before school started, then with the train ride, she hadn’t had much time. Flipping the pages of ‘Potions elabore’, by Yvette Cerisefleur, the fifth year tried to find the chapter which interested her most.

After coming across just what she needed, the Ravenclaw began to read, pleased that she managed to find a quiet place at Hogwarts, without all the hyperactive firsties zooming around.
