In the Common Room (open)
Lily sprawled out over a chair in the common room, the area around her covered in potions texts. She had one in her hand and a quill in her other hand, jotting down notes. Slughorn assigned the most inane essays sometimes. She knew she could probably come up with an excuse and get out of it, but she always hated to abuse the fact that Slughorn liked her so much.

Her thoughts were interrupted by someone walking into the common room. She looked up to see who it was.
