Start of Term Cramming. (open)

[meganferguson]

It was two hours until dinner and Meg thought she would get some studying time in before the next term began in a few days. She walked through the hallways towards the Library waving to people and teachers she knew.

As Meg reached the Library she was hit with the familiar scent of old parchment. She smiled brightly as she almost skipped inside. Looking around the large library she saw that only a few people were studying.

Meg stopped at the Librarian's desk. Madame Pince was sitting at her desk as usual. Meg gave a short sharp nod and smile as she looked up from papers she was working on.

"Back again, Miss Ferguson?" She grumbled, looking Meg straight in the eye. Not a glint of happiness or friendliness in her eyes. Megan felt sorry for Madame Pince for being so unhappy, so faded. She tried to smile a bit more. "Yep. Nothing wrong with preparing one's self for start of term!"

"Indeed." That was all.

Megan shuffled toward an empty desk, trying to avoid tripping over all of the vacant and dispersed chairs. She set down her books and began reading over a few notes she took at the end of last term.
