The Study room was quiet and that was different experience for Maddy in Hogwarts. Just the usual scribbling of the parchments could be heard.

It was early in the morning so less people were present, mostly giving ending touches to their today's assignments and some copying the works of others in a rush.

What was she doing here?

Yeah, she was bored and she couldnt sleep the whole night, as soon as she saw the first speck of sunlight through her windows, she jumped off the bed and into the bathroom to change and get ready for the day.

She was dressed for the moment, in a white shirt and black tie matched with baggy trousers. She would just wear her robe over this and replace her tie for the classes. Or probably go back and change. Her first class was free and she had decided to stay here till then

This was the only place where she had no memories with Belle, the perfect place where she cant hear her voice.

Maddy took a seat near the window in the room overlooking the sunrise as the suns light hit her face. Her hazel eyes turned a very, very light shade of brown making it look almost golden due to the light from the sun.

She leaned on her elbows as she looked outside preparing herself for the day ahead.

Leo had woken up early that morning and decided to have a quick breakfast so he could get to the study room to study a little before his first class of the day. He walked down the corridors with his books in his arms. It was still so quiet throughout the castle as the other students were waking up and going to the great hall for breakfast. Only a few students were out in the corridors as he made his way to the study room. As he walked along he went over in his head what he needed to work on before class that morning so he had a plan for when he got there.

When he got to the room, he opened the door quickly to go in, fully expecting the place to be empty like it was most days at this time. But to Leo’s surprise he saw a girl sitting by the window looking out at the early morning sky. He had a quick thought to turn and find somewhere else to study to not disturb the girl but he figured he would be quiet enough if he was just sitting at the table and she didn’t seem to be doing anything loud to distract him either. Still he went over towards the end of the table closest to the girl and cleared his throat to get her attention. “Excuse me, do you mind if I sit over here and study?” He asked the girl, pointing to the other end of the table before the realization hit him, he knew her. One of the girls from his potions class that he was in a group assignment with. “Maddy?” He questioned as he moved to lean his shoulder against the wall to look at her. “What are you doing in here so early?” She didn’t seem to be concerned with studying in the study room so he was curious to why she was actually sitting in the room alone when she could have been out having breakfast and talking with her friends.

Maddy had just been lost in thoughts looking out of the window of the study room when someone asked to sit at the other end of the table.
Still distracted she said, " Yeah sit wherever you want it's a free country." She thought the voice familiar but she was least bothered to look up when the said person called out her name.
Her head snapped up as she looked at the familiar Ravenclaw, "Oh Leo! I didnt expect to see you here. Small castle, I guess."

He asked her what she was doing her at this time, it also made her laugh, "That does sounds a bit weird, I myself didn't think that I would ever be here, especially never at this time."
Like yeah, Maddy would never want to ruin her whole day by going to study first thing in the morning.

Sighing she told him, "Well I just couldn't sleep and when I saw the sun was awake, it was time for me to leave the dorm too."

She looked over at him with books in his hand, exactly like Maddy had imagined early Leo to look like, "What are you studying? Maybe that will be remind me that I have assignments too."

She grinned at Leo glad to have company and peace.

With her response to his question, Leo moved to sit down at the end of the table, placing his books down. He opened up his textbook and notebook, took out his quill and looked at the girl again as she spoke. Just as he thought himself, she too didn’t know why she had entered the study room at this hour. Quite curious. She seemed to have been lost in thought when he came. ‘Did something happen?’ He thought to himself as he looked down at his notes again then glanced back up at Maddy. Her excuse of not sleeping seemed to be true but there still seemed to be something more behind it but he chose not to push it for now.

“I suppose that’s fair enough, I have nights like that too where I can’t sleep. I just end up reading until we are free to go out for breakfast myself.” He said, nodding his head before turning his attention back to his notes. He wrote a little bit down out of his book before chuckling and glancing up at her again. “If I tell you what I’m studying are you actually going to come over and study too?” He could only guess that she wasn’t really interested in studying with him but he was happy to indulge her anyways. “You’re more than welcome to come sit and keep me company while I study and maybe you can absorb the info while we talk.” He chuckled as he gave her a playful smirk.

Leo pulled out the chair beside him, patting the seat gently as he kept his eyes on the book in front of him. “Sit, sit.” He shook his head and went back to looking over the notes in front of him. Pushing his textbook towards her, he softly spoke again. “Herbology, today I’m working on some herbology.” He went and wrote down a few more bits of information before looking up at her. “I happen to enjoy the class itself but I tend to be focused on participating in the class over writing notes so I am trying to write down some important information out of this book before my class later.” He continued writing, shifting the book back in front of him more. “How have you been lately? We don’t see each other much outside of class.” He asked curious, maybe he would be able to figure out what was wrong with her since he could sense something off about her today.
