He plucked two big books off the pile in her arms and she shifted the rest around as her sock slid half-way down her calf again. She ignored it. “What are you doing in here?” she asked as she made her way over to an empty sofa. She was about to drop the books on the sofa, but stopped halfway remembering the scolding some other poor soul had gotten upon the librarian seeing them mistreat the books. She turned, pulled her satchel off over her head and dropped it on the floor before plopping down on the sofa next to the books. Her hand sought out her exposed calf and she started scratching around the itchy red and gold socks. As she looked at Damien, a look of ecstasy filled her eyes as if she had wanted to scratch her legs all day and couldn’t.
Damien jumped slightly as well at Daisy's obviously startled response to his presence. Attempting to raise his hands in surrender with two of her books, plus his, plus his bookbag over his shoulder, the Hufflepuff pleaded his case. "Usually I'm not the sneaking type," he said. "But apparently I'm quite good at it -- I think the whole fourth floor heard you --"
It was a shot in the dark, but he got the feeling he wasn't all that welcomed by her. Raising an eyebrow, watching her struggle with the pile she carried he merely shrugged his shoulders. "It's a library," he stated. "Guess I was crazy to think there might be books lying around somehwere on these shelves --" His tone was rather cold and unattached. Truth be told, he was actually looking for her, Daisy. The conversation they'd had that day in Diagon Alley was one of the most intellectual he'd ever had. The only other person who conversed with him in such a manner was his Aunt.
He removed his own bag from his shoulder and set it down on the floor next to where Daisy had sat with her book load. Apparently the socks were some form of intrusion on her skin in the form of beeing to itchy. Damien raised both eyebrows, this time in amusement as she seemed quite relieved to take care of the itch that was caused by said stockings.
"If it's so uncomfortable, why do you have them on?" he asked simply.
