Not really, but Elliot didn't much want to reveal her whole life story to a stranger. And a boy, for that matter. But maybe boys were more trustworthy. They were definitely less drama, that was for sure!

Oh. A seventh year. Oops. "SO you're an old man," she smirked..she was joking. Seventeen...must be nice to be of age. Elliot couldn't wait! And Edric..."Interesting name on your part, too," Yep.

And...oh. She didn't feel like telling him..."I'm overdramatic..."

There were only two other people looking through bookshelves near her, so Presley turned to them, her arms already full of books with possibility. "Have either of you heard of a Captain Kirk?" She asked as casually as possible. Which ended up coming out emotionless and dead, but whatever. At least she wasn't angry-seeming.

Ganymede scurried out from behind the shelf, "I have!" She shouted. She'd seen muggle Star Trek.

"I had a squib babysitter that used to watch old reruns!" She explained. She couldn't believe those boring days watching muggle television actually came in handy.

"He's like, a captain of a space ship or maybe he was a detective. Anyway.. He did something in space. I think the detective was another show.... Matlock?" She looked at the others like they'd know.

"I'm Ganymede by the way. My name is a boy's name too!" She nodded and then bit her lip, "uh.. so what are your names?" She asked the group. ::


Edric narrowed his eyes just slightly as Elliot accused him of being an 'old man'. PFT. "I'm seventeen, not seventy." He shrugged as she mentioned that his name was 'interesting'. Yeah. Yeah it was.

As the girl then went on to explain that she was overdramatic, Edric couldn't help but half-smile to himself. Oh, the honesty of that statement. "I noticed." He wasn't about to contradict it.

And then, because Edric had an amazing ability to find himself surrounded by people when he most wanted to be alone, another girl who seemed close in age to Elliot suddenly arrived. Asking about some 'Captain Kirk'. Edric raised an eyebrow. Could she have been talking about the popular muggle character?

But before anything could be said, a little first year appeared out of nowhere and spilled out all her knowledge on the Captain Kirk character.

Okay.
Yeah, this was totally just another normal day at the library. If you have a sarcastic mind.

"He was a starship captain," Edric confirmed to the little one's first guess. But seriously, why were they talking about this? Before he could ask the older girl that had come along after Elliot, the first year was speaking again, announcing that she had a boy's name too.

Edric simply slammed his book shut. He would obviously not be getting any reading done this afternoon.
