Edvard was now heading to the library to get himself a book for his reading pleasure. It was something about curling up in a comfy chair in front of a roaring fire with a good novel that he liked.

After seeing Althea in staff room after the feast he hadn’t seen much of his friend except at dinners where she sat on the other side of William which made conversation almost impossible. He had though heard rumours about her being seen with the Professor Jenkins out on the grounds but they were old class mates so Edvard didn’t worry too much.

Going into the bookshelves section of the library the brown haired Swede stopped now and again to say hello to a student or two or just soaking in their studious styles as they sat crouched over revision tables and books. Up ahead he spotted a brunette which could only be Josephina, the arithmancy professor on the hunt for something, most probably a book.

Edvard strolled down the shelves after her. As he came closer he called out in a hushed tone since this was a library after all. "Good afternoon, Josephina. Are you here to find yourself a novel too?"
As she was pacing, she first took note of the students nearby, as she heard, giggling. Giggling in the Library? How inappropriate. And to think they were probably only doing such because there was no librarian to stop them.

But she was there.

And just as she was about to go investigate who it was, someone blocked her path. From her five foot four stature, she glanced up to see the Astronomy Professor standing there. But not only did he stand there, he approached her. Could she really vent all her troubles to him?

"Not exactly," she said, the words slipping out before she could help herself. "I'm here to ... find myself moreso. To figure out what I'm doing? Or not doing. And ... oh... I just don't know anymore. Do you know? Edvard. Wait... hold that thought."


SPOILER!!: Paulie and Louisa...

"You should take it as a compliment. Wasn't Helen of Troy, like.. the hottest chick in the world back then?" BUT, she was Helen 'cause of the whole fighting over her thing.

He gave a guilty smile about the OWLs and shrugged his shoulders. "Oh, ya know. I did all right.." 'All right' as in 'barely skated by'! Maybe he'd try a bit harder for the NEWTs. Eh. Judging by her stacks of books and just by her house, Paulie had little doubt that she did anything but extremely well.

A sudden grin graced his face. "You know about the Brazil Nut nickname?" hah! He didn't remember spilling that one around her. "You're just like Adam, ya know. You both call him Brazilian Nut, but it's Brazil Nut! No.. 'ian'." Gosh, didn't anyone else eat Brazil Nuts? She tutted and turned her back on him. Surprise, surprise. "Oh, c'mon, what d'you expect? He's been a total jerk to both Adam and me, how can you expect us to like him?" He smirked a little and poked at her book. "Besides.." He leaned forward some and lowered his voice. "I'm still pullin' for you and Adam to get together."

Louisa raised her eyebrows at that, "Are you telling me that Helen of Troy, the character from The Iliad; an epic poem in dactylic hexameters that is attributed to Homer and was an essential figure of Trojan War that resulted in thousands of deaths during ten years..." Pause. "... is a hot chick? That's why you call me Helen?" Another pause of disbelief. "I'm not a chick." Americans. HMPH. "And I certainly don't appreciate being compared to a woman portrayed unclothed in history books." Yep, not at all, thank you.

"Well, that is why I was carrying a pile of books. I don't want to just do 'all right'," she mimicked his laid-back tone on the last word. Louisa wanted to do great, the ultimate greatness that was.

Brazil Nut not Brazilian Nut. Louisa couldn't help but chuckle at this, a giggle was fighting to surface but she pushed it down, "Well, I heard it from Adam so, I'm sorry to tweak your genius nickname." It was genius. And Louisa actually used it when they fought in Brazil. Before she lost her mind and punched the poor boyfriend. Numbskull. She should remember this if Joao acted so weird and jealousy again. Poking her book, she looked down at his and then up at his smirk, staring blankly. "He was mean to Adam, yes. I assure you that Joao will never bother my friends again. I made sure of that." And before she could feel proud about it, Louisa squinted her eyes at him, "But... how is that being mean to you?" Even if they were best mates and all that rubbish, Paulie didn't have the right to take insult in that. UNLESS. O_O "Y-you've met him?" she stuttered. And pleeeeease, let the encounter not be another mess she had to fix. SIGH.

... why was he moving closer and leaning in? D: Louisa didn't breath for a second until he spoke. Then she let out a long sigh, "Paulie.." back to whining and dropping her shoulders in desperation, "Please don't do that. I do have a boyfriend." Even if she promised Adam that she'd kiss him if miss charming didn't show up, it was all a joke. Adam knew it, she knew it. Paulie certainly didn't need to know it.


Drawing herself around the Astronomy Professor, Josephina walked toward the sound of the giggling, as her eyebrow raised in shock. A Ravenclaw too. Well that was ... surprising.

"Mister Foster and Miss Carter," Fina began. "You are both old enough to realize by now that the library is not the place to brew romance." No, it was the place to brew knowledge, of course. "Just because there is no active librarian present, that does not give reason for you both to forget the purpose of the library."

She hesitated a moment, but her stressed self got the best of her. "Five points from each of you."
