Who: Jamie Chambers and OPEN
What: As promised, Jamie is studying by the lake.
Where: See above.
When: Thursday afternoon.
Rated: TBD, but probably low.
Jamie had told everyone he would be out on the lawn by the lake, studying, if the weather was nice. Fortunately for him, it was. He was propped beneath a sprawling live oak, his back pressed against one of the lower branches. The tree likely wasn't native to the area, but it did make for perfect seating with its limbs beginning so low on the trunk. It was his favorite tree on the whole of Hogwarts' grounds, because it could be classified as an evergreen, never losing its leaves through the winter. Plus, the founders had more likely than not planted it as an educational resource for the original Herbology classes, meaning it was very old.
The sun angled down in speckled patterns through the leaves, dappling the lush green grass. A soft breeze was blowing, whispering the secrets the tree kept, muttered in hushed tones over the centuries since its planting.
Jamie quickly found himself distracted from his homework, his Arithmancy and Ancient Runes texts opened and forgotten for the time being on the ground beside his legs. So immersed was he in just listening that he never noticed someone approaching. That was happening a lot lately.
