Shaded Study
Regulus strode quickly past the doors into the castle, the bulge of a book apparent for a moment under his arm. He walked for a distance around the perimeter of the lake, his feet making imprints upon the slightly earth. A moderate wind cast his hair to one side as he knelt carefully under a sapling. He eased himself into a sitting position, facing the significantly distant castle.
After letting his eyes sweep the immediate area, Black brought the book down to rest upon his knees. He flicked the worn leather cover open and began to read. If he expected to pass his Charms exams without any major difficulties he'd better get Cheering Charms down and then proceed to catch up to the remainder of the class. He was several spells behind, having reallocated his time for Charms study to Occlumency.
With a slight intake of breath, Regulus turned the page and continued reading. He drew out his wand to practice a spell from the text as the wind began to grow in intensity...
