If a prophecy-teller had come to the Niamh from two years ago and told her that she would be voluntarily spending time in the Hogwarts library... well the Gryffindor girl could imagine how her faced would have looked. It was similar to how she would have looked if someone had told her there was a dragon sleeping in her dorm— raised eyebrows and sticking out her tongue slightly. Although the former situation was much more practically possible than the latter, it was still equally unlikely.

There were few things first-year Niamh had hated more than spending extensive amounts of time indoors. She could count them on one hand, in fact: flobworm stew, having to go to bed and wake up at the correct hours, and History of Magic quizzes. Only those three things were in the ballpark.

However, over the past years, many aspects of Niamh's life had changed. Hence, she had changed with them. Having to study to rejoin her grade gave her some practice with academic habits. Simply looking at the textbook once and then claiming to have studied did not cut it for the advancement exam. She had actually had to spend time going over her notes and repassing material. It was disgusting; The 13-year-old girl still agreed with that statement. She would much rather be outside, practicing Quidditch or playing sports. Really, there were many places she would rather be.

However, getting herself kicked out for less-than-ideal marks was not Niamh's goal. She had barely gotten herself in again. This time she was going to stay and not screw stuff up or have it screwed up for her.

It was with that thought in mind that Niamh convinced herself to spend the pleasant, fall afternoon sitting at one of the communal working tables in the library. Her legs were pulled up onto the chair in a comfortable position with her chin resting comfortably on them and her robes falling around her. She flipped the pages idly. What she wouldn't give to have Spotify work at Hogwarts.
