Even if she was wary of Haddie for hurting Rachel, Esme would be pleasant. It wasn't in her nature to start giving people sass though if it came down to it she would with no hesitation. "I am, yes." Polite smile. "Nice to meet you, Haddie..." Even though you hurt one of my best friends. Things seemed to be better between the two but what if something else happened? Would Rachel end up with something worse than drawings on her face?

"I'm looking for books on crystals. What about you?"

"Why crystals?" Haddie turned to look at the girl, smiling warmly. She studied Esme intently for a second, almost as if sizing her up. Whatever she saw in the Hufflepuff she clearly liked, because she nodded to herself, and her smile grew warmer. But there was a sadness to the smile too, very faint. As if the careful mask of exuberance had cracked suddenly and a bit of what was underneath was visable now.

Haddie turned back to the shelves. "Looking for information on the Chamber of Secrets. I'm trying to find the entrance..." Her voice trailed off, as if that wasn't the end of the thought. The sadness was crystal clear now. Haddie glanced back at Esme with that same sizing up expression, as if deciding something, and nodded. "...since I probably won't have the chance next year."

It wasn't to burden the girl with her problems. That was the last thing Haddie wanted to do. But there was something about Esme that Haddie saw, that made it sort of necessary. Because Esme clearly cared about Rachel. The Californian went back to studying the books on the shelves, but her mind wasn't in it anymore. "Rachel is a sweetheart," she said. "She's sweet and sees the good in everyone. Even if it's not there. It's actually, kinda the thing I admire most about her..." Her voice trailed off again, as it had before. She didn't speak for a long while, despite it being clear that there was more to say. "Promise me you'll look out for her. Please. If I am not here next year. Promise me you won't let her get hurt too badly." It was obvious that Haddie didn't mean physically hurt. She meant protecting the sweet, loving, and way too trusting Rachel, so jerks of the world didn't crush her spirit. Haddie wiped her eyes, not even trying to hide it. "Please?"
