Maxie walked into the common room and was momentarily stunned by how quiet it was. There was only a handful of people which was surprising - this past month the common room had been practically stacked to the roof with students studying at every stage of the day.

It unsettled Max for a minute before she saw a friendly, albeit bored-looking face.

"Where the hell is everyone?" she asked in greeting, as she made her way over the him. "I thought I'd walked into the wrong Common Room!"

"Library, I guess," Brandon said, sitting up a little straighter and motioning to the chairs around his.

"I swear, I just don't get everyone's obsession with studying. I didn't study last year and I got by." He shrugged.

"Where've you been, anyway? I know you didn't have classes today."

Max rolled her eyes as she took a seat. "Yes, we all know how smart you are, not having to study and passing with flying colours," she smirked and stuck out her tongue. It would be infuriating if he wasn't such a good friend. Maxie studied for days and days and Brandon didn't even do one iota of revision and yet they'd still get similar marks. She figured it had something to do with him being musically inclined but she wasn't sure.

"I have been trying to find somewhere cool to practice." She didn't say what she was practising, there was no need. Maxie only ever practised one thing - gymnastics. "But it turns out no matter where you go - inside or outside - it's still bloody hot. Merlin's beard, I hate Summer. What are you up to then?"

"I hardly call one or two Es and mostly As 'flying coulours,' but compliment taken all the same," he said with a smile.

"It's pretty empty in here...still hot, but as long as you stay away from the walls, you should be okay. I could watch. It would be a nice form of entertainment. I'm so bored! The entire castle has gone crazy with their studying, and no one wants to talk or hang out. I was about to read I was so desperate. I'd suggest playing some sort of game, but if you'd rather practice, that's cool, too."
