| | Study Hall In close proximity to the library lies the study hall. Whether you are a first year or a seventh year, a Gryffindor or a Slytherin, a boy or a girl, this room is the best place to go for your studying and homework completion needs. If you ever find yourself stuck on something or have no clue what you're doing, you can always ask those who you are studying with for help or the professor that is overseeing the study session.
Scattered around the room are groups of desks that make it perfect for you and your friends to collaboratively work together. Average-sized oil lamps have been strategically placed on the desks to create a calm, comfortable environment. In a neat pile in the centre of the desks are extra quills, bottles of ink, and spare parchment should you need it -- just remember to leave the quills and ink at the table and only use what you need for parchment. Under the windows a long bookshelf containing a copy of textbooks for each class can be found, which you are welcome to use during your time in this room.

Okay.
So she wasn't exactly studying. She didn't have much to study so far. But Harriet was a sixth year now, and she wanted to be more prepared now. So she was heading into the study hall so that she could work out her time table, and make sure she had enough time for everything that she wanted to do, so that she could make sure it all fitted in.
She'd found herself a table, and set out all her study. She had her timetable with her, a fresh piece of parchment, and her coloured pencils and pens. She wanted to make it look as pretty as possible. She was also going to colour code her classes, extra-curricular's, and free periods, so that she knew what she was doing and when.
She was going to be prepared this term. She really was.

She was going to be prepared this term. She really was. No OWLs this year but that didn't mean Skylar Diggory was going to be slacking off too much. While she had dropped classes she deemed unnecessary towards either a creature healing path, cursebreaking path, or journalism career - read: Herbology, Divination, Muggle Studies - she'd also picked up two new classes this year in alchemy and wandlore. So it wasn't as if she was going to have loads of free time, because on top of all her extracurriculars, she had quidditch tryouts and practices to manage. "Hattie. Are you studying?" Cue, surprise on this sixth year's face, until she noticed the coloured timetable. "Ooh, looking good! I'm proud of you!" Planning was the life of the captain, which was pretty much her saving grace in managing all that she did.

Planning was the life of the captain, which was pretty much her saving grace in managing all that she did. Harriet wasn't much of a planner really. She wasn't too good at following schedules. But the one that Sky had made her last year had been pretty useful. So she had really wanted to make one this year. Or at least do one, and then try to use it wisely. She didn't know how successful it would be, but at least she could say that she had tried. And she was putting lots of different colours on it. So it was pretty arty. That made it more interesting to her. At least by doing this, it would mean that she knew she could fit in everything that she wanted to do. She didn't want to not have enough spare time to paint, which she had struggled with last year.
She looked up as she heard a voice, and she smiled. "Hey Sky" She said, a smile still on her face. She adored her bestie, and she was happy that they might be able to spend more time together this year when they wouldn't be studying so much. "I just wanna make sure I have enough time for everything I wanna do" She mused with a smile. And hopefully it would work well for the rest of the year.

She knew that the shorter girl wouldn't be studying so early into the term. Actually, she felt rather guilty for not making planners for her besties this year, after doing one for their owl year, but surely they'd understand what with her strategizing for quidditch pretty much taking over her entire planning persona. "Planners and journaling is the best. Honestly, I'd never be able to keep up with my classes and extracurriculars if I didn't put it on my timetable." And thank Salazar Slytherin she didn't have to deal with Patrols on top of everything else; Flynn and Vivian could deal with that.

"Well you do literally do everything so I can see why" Harriet teased her best friend. She didn't really see why Sky was taking on so much, and potentially allowing herself to get so stressed. Hattie was taking the smallest amount that she was allowed, and that was all she wanted to do. She didn't even need them, but she wanted to at least have a back up in case that didn't work out. She figured Sky was doing that too, but honestly there was no need for her friend to be doing so much. Considering Sky had the quidditch team to look after too. She was doing a lot, and Hattie didn't know how her friend would cope. "I quite like making it to be honest" She mused with a smile. She was excited, and hoped that it would work. "It's making it easier for me to plan things, since I know when all my free periods are, and when I can plan time to paint" Since that was important to her and she wanted to dedicate a lot of time to it.

"Not everything. I don't take art. Or troll. Or orchestra or frog choir." She didn't sing, basically. "And I dropped divination, muggle studies and herbology." Nevermind that she added on alchemy and wandlore. "I also dropped drama club this year and health and wellness." Of course the latter was dropped only because River Reed was no longer there and she wasn't really in favor of his replacement healer. She rather creeped the sixth year out. Plus, she had quidditch, so it wasn't as if she wasn't doing healthy activities.
Yes, of course Hattie would, being the art person. It was actually much more colourful than her own, but Skylar didn't mind. "You should draw a picture for me on my planner."

Yes, of course Hattie would, being the art person. It was actually much more colourful than her own, but Skylar didn't mind. "You should draw a picture for me on my planner." "You do realise you dropped 3 subjects, but picked up another two" Hattie pointed out with a smirk. She knew this was Sky though, and she wasn't overly worried. Her friend could cope, and as long as she wasn't stressed then it would be okay? She just hoped that Sky would have enough time for some her time. That was important, especially when their work load was so important now. "But I'm glad you're trying to not take on too much" She murmured with a smile. She'd hate to see Sky struggling. She hoped that wouldn't happen, but she was going to be careful to make sure that didn't happen. "Oooh...." The blonde mused, with a little smile on her face. "I'd love to" because that would be really cool. "What kind of picture do you want?"

"I'd love to" because that would be really cool. "What kind of picture do you want?" Skylar shook her head, chuckling at Hattie's astute observation. "Of course, i'm not an idiot and to be frank, I'd have dropped History of Magic too if it weren't for the fact that i find the subject... entertaining" she grinned, appreciative of the fact that Hufflepuff seemed understanding of her workload. Really, by sixteen she knew what she was capable of and she quite enjoyed the challenge.
Oops. To be honest, Skylar hadn't exactly considered what she wanted on it. "Okay so the inside cover," she said passing the expensive dragon hide captain planner from Zinnia. Because tainting the outside of such a fancy book seemed like a sin. "um. Maybe... a snake... riding a broom?" Was that even a thing?

Because tainting the outside of such a fancy book seemed like a sin. "um. Maybe... a snake... riding a broom?" Was that even a thing? "Just checking" Hattie mused with a little laugh. She knew that Sky could probably handle it, but she just wanted to make sure. She would hate to see her getting really stressed. Sky knew that she could do though, they'd gone through 5 years of school, so she had to know what she could handle. They'd also picked the subjects that they wanted to do, so hopefully they would feel a little more invested in the subjects now. " You're made"" The girl laughed, shaking her head. She'd only taken 5 subjects, but she was happy with that. She didn't even need her NEWTS, but she wanted to jhave them just in case.
Hattie nodded, taking the planner from her and opening up. It was a nice planner, and she was a little bit jealous. She liked her rainbow planner, but it really wasn't as nice as this one. "Is that even a thing?" She mused with a laugh. She pushed the planner aside, and quickly began to sketch something to see even if it looked good.
