Closed Gotta Study, Buddy

[Beatrice Grey]

Bea was getting a little anxious about her future. OWLs were coming up next year, and the content was just getting more difficult. She had brought a bunch of muggle items to organize her notes and this year, but she had spent a good deal of time organizing content from the last 3 years, as well. She wanted to be well prepared for her OWLs because it wasn't like she wasn't smart. She could do this.

Taking over a table near the entrance, she pulled out her index cards that were colored coded and arranged on little spiral bindings. Why so many professors continued to insist on them using parchment she would never understand. Beatrice started with Astronomy and pulled out her notes, as she still had plenty of constellations that needed drawn on her cards for identification.

Sofi had done what she never thought possible and figured out what she wanted to be in life. And just in time too as she entered her OWL year. Being a healer required getting a specific set of grades and following particular training that she could prepare for now. It gave her all sorts of confidence and even helped her feel better about her surroundings too because she had wondered if Hogwarts was the right place for her. She had thought she might do better in a muggle school, but she wasnt thinking like that any more.

Becoming a healer had rooted itself quietly last semester after a visit to the Hospital Wing to see Morrie, followed by a couple more visits that weren't really to see Morrie at all but rather the nurses.at work. She knew she could do the same, she could help people too. All she needed were the grades to make it happen. It pulled her back to the library each day, and she was passing through today when the tidy revision cards of a younger student caught her eye. Normally Sofi wouldn't dream of saying anything, she would just keep walking, but something was different today and she came out with, "I like your set up, did you make those cards yourself?"

Beatrice looked up when a student approached her and smiled proudly. "I did," she said, softly. "Each color corresponds to a class, and then each of those colors have variations," she said, showing her purple ones which had about 5 shades of purple cards. "The variations help break down the sub-topics for each course or things like different Potions so I don't get them confused with each other as I study. I love organizing just about as much as studying the material, but it actually helps me learn more by doing this, too," she added. "You're Sofi, right? I think we've met before, but maybe not," she added, thinking she had given the girl a rose once or maybe was given a rose by her. It as hard for Beatrice to keep it all straight sometimes.

Sofi nodded along to the system being explained to her, it was a brilliant system but also a lot of work and Sofi could see herself spending too much time on it that she'd forget to study. "That's impressive!" She commented with raised eyebrows. "Better than my pile of parchments." Sofi nodded at her name, "And your Maggie, right?"
