[/IMG] * all the world's a stage, [/b][/font] and all the men and women merely players- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [/center] Caitlin tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and sat down tiredly on her bed, throwing her bookbag beside her. She looked out the window at the sun that was already setting behind the mountains. It was a chilly winter and the days seemed to be getting shorter and colder every day.
With a sigh, she rummaged through her bag, taking out anything unimportant, setting it into a pile and leaving the rest in. She made sure she had enough quills, parchment and ink in her bag and closed it up.
Cate was headed to the library to study. It was part of what she called her 'anxiety prevention plan'. She regularly went to the library after classes to study each subject until supper. At first she simply stayed in the Hufflepuff Common Room, but lately the common room had become more and more rowdy, and so it became more logical to simply move to the quiet library upstairs.
With this resolution in mind, she stood up, swung her bag over her shoulder, and walked down the dormitory stairs and out into the common room, saying hi to people that she passed, yet making sure not to be distracted by anything.
The walk up to the library was rather uneventful and as Caity stepped into the library she stopped to let her eyes adjust to the dimmer light. Spotting an open table nearby, she sat down at it and opened her bag, took out her things and started with her Astronamy homework.

Hailey was done. With everything. She’d looked through all of her scrolls of parchment, through her composition notebook, wracked her memory. She was done. There wasn’t one more essay to write or journal to fill out. She’d leaned back against the tree trunk, peering up to the branches and the clear sky above her. Hailey had wanted a change; she always did her work in the Common Room or the Library. But, today, she’d gone outside, melted the snow, laid down a blanket and gotten cozy beneath a tree by the lake. But now… well, she was done. What was she supposed to do? Probably get out of the cold… Hailey started packing up her things, returning the scrolls and her notebook, and her quill and inkpot to her bag. She stood and shoved her blanket into the bag as well before starting her trek back up to the castle. Snow covered the ground, the trees, towers, rocks. It was everywhere and she loved it.
Fifteen minutes later, her hands were free and she was headed down to the library. Just because all of her work was done didn’t mean she was going to stop reading. No, she’d get some fiction into her system. Hailey took her time on the stairs and when she reached the library, she stopped on the threshold and inhaled deeply. Ahh, the smell of old books, ink, and new parchment. Even if she weren’t in Ravenclaw, Hailey knew this would be one of her favorite places in the entire school. Hailey smiled at a table of first year Ravenclaws before wandering into the library and disappearing in the rows and rows of books.
Hailey wasn’t sure how long she’d been in there, but she emerged with three books, two of which were quite thick. Immediately, she recognized a blonde girl at a nearby table. Hailey approached the girl and pulled back a chair, sitting across from her. She set the books down gently before propping her elbows up on the table and her chin on her hands. “Hello older sister of mine.” Hailey smiled and peered at Caitlin’s work. “Astronomy?”

[/IMG] * all the world's a stage, [/b][/font] and all the men and women merely players- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [/center] Today was turning out to be a good day; there had been very little distractions as the library was fairly empty and Caitlin had gotten a huge chunk of her Astronomy work out of the way, and was almost ready to start on a Charms essay. Despite fatigue that normally gnawed at her, she was still going strong, and planned on keeping it up until her stomach screamed for dinner.
She was so engrossed in her work that she didn't hear the chair across from her being pulled out. At the sound of books hitting the table, she looked up quicky, startled by the sudden noise. Sitting across from her was her little sister, Hailey, peering over at her work.
Cait grinned to cover her surprise and said in response to Hailey's question, "Yes, it is indeed astronomy. I'm just finishing up an assignment that we had to do on constellations."
She set her quill down gently and tilted her head to the side as she took in the rather large books that her sister had set down in front of her. "And what have you there, little sister? Some boring old tome on the societal effect of trolls and garden gnomes? Or are they encyclopedia's about muggles?" She had to smile at that. In some cases her and Hailey were total opposites; Hailey was calm and composed under pressure, while Caty was a miserable mess. Hailey's wit seemed to come to her naturally, while her own had to be worked at. They did, however, have similar personalities which allowed them to get along.
