We're "studying"
"Alright, study partner. What did you say your name was again? I forgot, sorry!" She pushed open the door to the library, holding it open for nessie. They had decided to study together because Nessie seemed responsible and Juni needed someone o study with. And naturally, they went to the library. They are both in different houses so the common room wasn't an option. She led her partner to a table in the corner, setting her bag down next to her then pulling her book and parchment out. "right so, an essay about the history of the sneezing charm. Well. " she leaned back in her chair, looking to Nessie.
"maybe people were in a dusty library, and one of them was trying to come up with a spell and then like, the other began to sneeze because they were allergic to dust. So the other person was like 'perfect, you're so smart!' And then the person sneezing coughed and had to run for water while the other person was clapping thinking they were acting. And then they were like what should the words be?" Juniper hesitated for a moment.
"and then the other person sneezed again, and the person was like, oh, yes! Steleus!" She checked to see if her partner was still listening. "Ya know?"

“No worries, it’s Nessie!” the Hufflepuff replied understandingly. It was not uncommon that Nessie forgot things, so she did not take it personally and was not at all bothered by Juni’s forgetting. Nessie smiled as she followed Juni to one of the tables in the library, and carefully pulled out her own study supplies.
For what it was worth, Nessie didn’t know anything about the history of the sneezing charm. She expected it might be in her book, and she’d cracked it open, but hadn’t even begun to leaf through it when Juni began theorizing. Nessie listened intently, nodding along and propping her arms on her book as she leaned forward, her plans to research in the book already forgotten due to her fascination with the Ravenclaw’s ideas.
“That sounds good to me! And here I was thinking there must have been like … a sneezing contest or something.” Nessie felt silly saying it out loud, because she’d never heard of one before, but she grinned sheepishly and continued explaining nevertheless. “D’you think they ever have contests for who can sneeze the most times in a row? A charm would be perfect to win one of those!”
She paused thoughtfully. “But I like your idea better,” Nessie admitted, looking to Juni to see what she thought.
