Lucy had made it a habit to go to the study area in order to, of course, study. The Great Hall was far too rowdy, and her dorm room… Well, there was always something going on in her dorm room that would inevitably interest her much more than her potions homework. Because when it came to her school work, although she loved what she was doing, she felt somewhat burnt out. And she couldn't pinpoint the exact reason as to why that was. Hopefully, in a room where everyone seemed to be studying, she'd have an easier time putting her head to the books.
And even then, her mind wandered to nowhere in particular. She thought about her roommates, a potential party that they were planning for sometime in the (hopefully) near future. Random things that she tried to forget about. One thing that stuck out was the thought of the horrible virus that she had read about in the newspaper recently. And before she knew it, she was just thinking, chin resting in her hand and staring into space, zoned out.
