Closed Burn the Pages

[Chloe Chan]

Now that Chloe was back at school, after a busy yet enjoyable break, she was happy to get back into the swing of the semester, and work hard, both in her classes and quidditch. Sometimes she could hear her mother's voice at the back of her mind, either encouraging her or reminding her to study as much as she could, without exhausting herself. She could also hear her telling her not to get into a trouble - although the reason as to why Chloe would ever want to cause mischief was beyond her. She wasn't immature, and she simply did not have the time to play games. The only games she played very willingly were the Quidditch games. She was determined to do really well, and improve, and hopefully, her father's talent would show through her practice and determination during the matches. She wanted it to, because then he could be proud of her. Even if he had, like, nearly fifteen years to catch up on getting to know her. Anyway, next time she was going to make sure she actually got to spend time with him, no matter how much her mom was against the idea. She could do it during the brightstone weekends, or something. That way, her dear mother wouldn't be able to say much about it. It was Chloe's decision after all. When Chloe found an empty table in the library, which wasn't very secluded but it would do, she sat down, and took out her textbooks. She had reading to do, and a few essays, and she better get started because she only had a few more days until they were due. She didn't even want to think about OWLs which were taking place at the end of next year. She sighed after a few minutes, already lost. She had no idea where to start, and she briefly wondered what would happen if she 'accidentally' set a few pages of her textbook on fire. She could...blame it on her (nonexistent) pet from home.​

 

[Olivia Woodlock]

The new semester was young and yet Olivia still found herself drowning in homework and a list of things to study in preparation for upcoming lessons. She found that she had been spending a lot of time in the library despite it only being a few short weeks into the semester and she once again found herself in the library to study but she wasn't in the mood to do so alone, luckily she saw a familiar face among the stacks and decided to join Chloe at her table. She sat down and pulled out her books to begin studying. "Hey," Olivia said quietly without looking up at the girl.
