"Calme et tranquillité. Au dernier. Au moins je peux m'entendre penser ici."
With books in one hand, and the other free to open the door, Alice stepped through the large doors of the library and made her way to her usual spot at the end of one of the shelves. Yes, sometimes studying was a lonely occupation, yet it allowed the young woman to think about other things that didn't have anything to do with school. For instance, she could think about how stupid her brother had been about breaking up with that Abby girl. Yes, Alice really did like her. She had thought that the two were good together, yet when Xavier spoke about her growing too silly for the likes of him, Alice had shaken her head and walked away from her younger brother. She loved him, but at times it was like she didn't even know who he was.
Pulling out the dark, wooden chair, Alice sat down and placed her books on one side of the desk. One was for Charms, the other two were for Care of Magical Creatures and Divination. Yet Charms was her favourite class, thus it had been placed on the bottom so she couldn't be distracted by studying that first. A small treat, as she had called it once or twice before. Always study your favourite class last. That way, you can treat yourself after the other classes have been done and put into the back of your mind. Sliding off the Care of Magical Creatures book from the pile, the young Ravenclaw woman took her quill and piece of parchment. There, she began to write.
It had been almost twenty minutes - yet it had only felt like two minutes - before the young woman had finished just one page. It wasn't that she was a slow learner; no. It was the fact that Alice usually read over the same sentence more than once before moving onto the next one. This was her method of allowing facts to stick into the back of her mind; almost as if some sort of sticky substance was attatched to each word.
"This is stupid... Why would I even need to know this? Well, I could decide to go into this area for a job... Oh goodness, what am I going to do after school?"
TRANSLATION: Peace and quiet. At last. At Least I can hear myself think in here.
