The week passed by and it was now Saturday again. Ottilia wanted to spend the day in the library and study and do all her homework. She needed to write a four parchment long essay for potions and then a five parchment long essay for transfigurations.

She sat down on a empty table and took out her book 'Avanced potion making' and she was supposed to write a essay about one of the potions they'd worked with on their first lesson and Ottilia chose Polyjuice Potion out of Amortentia, Polyjuice and Veritaserum.

She read all the facts about the potion and the recipe. Slughorn wanted them to analyse the potion and the use of it. He also wanted positive and negative things about the potion.

Ottilia started to write her essay and she quickly got bored. The problem wasn't learning it and remember it, the problem was that she needed to write four parchment rolls about something she considered as easy and she thought it was a waste of time. She'd rather sit down in the common room and read a book or writing something fun. She loved writing, but only if it was poetry or fiction.

She wrote the first two parchment rolls and then she noticed how someone stood in front of her. She looked up and saw that Pandora stood there.

"Hi," Ottilia said.

"Hi, ehm I wondered if I could sit here and study with you?" Pandora asked. "All tables are full and of course I understand if you don't want to be bothered, I can probably find another place for studying."

"You can sit here," Ottilia said and Pandora sat down as Ottilia made place for Pandora's stuff on the table since Ottilia had spread out all her own stuff on the table. "So, you've got your OWLS this year, how does it feel?"

"I think it's feeling good, but I'm a little stressed by all homework they're giving me," Pandora said. "Was the OWLS so difficult as everyone says?"

"I can only speak for myself, but I thought that the tests themselves weren't so hard, but all homework and studying before them was exhausting," Ottilia told her. "Have you finished Hogwarts: a history?"

"Not yet," Pandora replied. "I have about 200 pages left."

"Did you find it interesting?" Ottilia asked and Pandora nodded. "You might get some questions about Hogwarts' history on your OWLS later this year."

They sat in silence and studied. Ottilia finished her potions essay and she closed her potions book and took out her transfigurations book and started writing her next essay.

"Pandy!" Someone said and the two girls looked up and saw that her twin brother was walking towards them with his friends Barty and Regulus.

"Yes?" Pandora said. "Evan, I don't know if you've noticed, but this is a library and shouting isn't allowed here."

"I've been looking for you," Evan said. "Wait a minute, why're you fraternising with the enemy?"

"She's not an enemy, she's my friend," Pandora said. Ottilia was a little surprised that Pandora described her as friend, but Ottilia just thought it was nice.

"Okay, whatever," Evan said and he sat down next to Pandora.

"What do you want Evan? I told you that I wanted to study," Pandora said with a calm voice even though she was clearly bothered by her brother.

"I just want to hang out with my fantastic sister and apparently her friend," Evan said.

"Evan? Have you and Barty been taking drugs again?" Pandora questioned.

"What do you mean by again?" Barty asked acting offended. "We've never taken drugs."

"What're you smoking then? It's clearly not just cigarettes," Pandora said. "Regulus are they taking drugs?"
