| | Library Bookshelves Tall bookshelves are scattered throughout the library, the smooth wood gleaming brightly in the sun that shines in through the stained glass windows. Tens of thousands of books rest upon the shelves, all waiting to be explored by eager minds. They stretch along the walls, filling each shelf and dark corner. A catalogue system has been put in place to ensure that finding and retrieving a book becomes a simple task, for the sheer amount of books can be overwhelming, particularly to the youngest of students.
At the end of the first few bookshelves in the front of the library sits a pedestal. An open book with a soft golden light emitting from it, has been placed upon the pedestal. As you approach the book, you hear a rustling and then a gentle pop. “Come closer, come closer. Don’t be afraid.” A jolly voice speaks.
When you finally do peek into the pages of a book, an elderly gentleman peers out at you, one hand rising to adjust his spectacles. “Now. What book is it that you seek? I can give you a general location or a more specific one if you know the exact title of the book.”
Once you speak your request, the man ponders for a few moments before scribbling on a piece of parchment. Squinting at what he has written, he looks back up and smiles, before speaking the location of the book. “Happy reading!” He exclaims before settling back down into a still flat image. OOC: Please note that the jolly man is for entertainment purposes only. I will not be RPing him each time a student approaches asking for a book.  |

Rian smiled and nodded again. "Lily's great, she just turned a year old," she said happily. "Oh, and my mum really likes the cradle you made for Lily, she says it helps alot."

"That's good. I've been making a few adjustment to the original plan." He took out his plan notebook and showed the specific page to Rian. "I need to just do a few spells here and here and it'll be perfect." Sneeze looked at Rian.

She smiled and looked back at Sneeze. "That's realy cool," she told him.

"Hey, Lilliana, how's everything?" Sneeze said then looked back at the notebook. "I stared making some toys that are less complicated than the mechanical grasshopper. I started making dragons that can fly and do turns. Look at this." Sneeze took out a jar from his pack and it contained a small Norwegion Ridgeback. He opened the jar and it did some spin landing on Sneezes shoulder.

Livvy glanced around as she walked towards the bookshelves. She skimmed around for a good book and saw Rian with a boy. "Hey Rian," Livvy said, smiling and waving at her.

Rian watched the Norwegion Ridgeback as it pun and landed on Sneeze's shoulder. "That's really neat," she told him. "I think dragons are really cool," she said with a laugh, still watching the small dragon. Quote:

Livvy smiled and walked towards her and the boy. "Hey... hope I'm not being a bother," she said as she joined them. Her eyes were immediately drawn to a small jar with a figure shaped like a small dragon. Livvy was startled. "Whoa... what is that?" Livvy asked curiously. "That is so cool." |

Rian shook her head. "No, I don't mind at all," she told Livvy with a quick look to Sneeze to see if he minded. "Oh, this is Livvy," Rian say to him, "And this is Sneeze," she added to Livvy. "Sneeze made it," she answered when Livvy asked about the dragon.

Livvy smiled at the boy. "Hello," she said and then raised her eyebrow. "Really? You made it?" Livvy asked with surprise and interest. "What is it? It looks like a dragon," she said, squinting at the figure.

Rian felt slightly odd answering, when it was Sneeze's stuff. "Yeah, Sneeze makes them," she said to Livvy, "He invents things. He's really good at it to." she paused to make sure she was saying things that were okay with Sneeze. "It's a Norwegion Ridgeback, I don't know how he made it though," she replied to Livvy.

Livvy smiled and looked at Sneeze with an admiring look. Real talented if he could make such a thing. "Oh... it's a Norwegian Ridgeback?" she said it like a question. She hoped she said it right. "Well, it's really amazing," Livvy said, nodding her head with a small smile.

"Oh, I just put some spells on it. That's pretty much it. Look." He picked up the dragon and flicked it, it starting flying around Rian and Livvy.

Livvy smiled and stared the dragon in awe. "Wow. That is still really cool," she said to Sneeze. "What other toys have you made?" Livvy asked, interested.

Rian grinned as the small dragon flew around her and Livvy. It made her think of her butterfly, that flew around her and landed on her whenever she wanted it to.

Livvy grinned at all of it. That was a lot of toys he made. "Wow... that's amazing. Quite something," she said nodding her head and then leaned forward to see Sneeze's watch. "How long you been doing this?" |

How about you", she said ajusting her books.

Sneeze looked at Livvy. "I've been doing this since I was three. I first made a muggle blender, then I had some more creativity." Sneeze looked at Lillianna. "Good. I'm alright." he said.

Livvy grinned and smiled in amazement. "Wow. Really cool. Well, I won't be a bother anymore. So.. yeah... carry on," she said, laughing as she sat down and opened up her book.

Opening the door poking her head inside she saw that she had actually found the library! Oooh yay! she grinned and went inside. She has to remember that this is where all the books are incase she needs one for one of her classes. Looking around the library in awe, she looked up at the cieling with its beautiful adornments and architectual beauty. Since im here i might aswell dive in between the bookshelves, might find something nice she smiled, humming a tune, she looked around the first row of bookshelves

Sneeze looked at his dragon. It started flying through the books. He grabbed it with a quick hand, and put it in his bag. "Rian, how's your dad's paintings going?"

Rian switched her book to her other hand before answering. "Good," she replied, "It was funny, I put a painting of me and Lily up in my dormitory, and one of my friends that comes from a wizarding family thought it was broken because it didn't move." she said with a laugh.

"Ha. That's funny. I've been pretty much living in the gryffindor common room. I've almost never gone up to the dormitories." Sneeze said. He took a look around and got a book about inventions.

Miranda was reading the titles of the books in the shelves. ''Hmmm...'' she stopped at a book and re-read the title ''Dragons and tutus" What an odd title she thought and reached out to take it out. Opening the book the felt it was a bit warm in her hands. Slowly she turned the cover of the book and smoke came out of it. What the... she muttered to herself, before being able to say something else she closed the book coughing and waving her hand to waft away the smoke. That...was...weird... she said to herself. Shrugging she continued to skim the titles, changing the melody of her tune.
After making her way through some bookshelves she noticed a greenish book. Taking it out she read Quidditch Through the Ages Raising her eyebrows she thought it would be a pretty good book to read, now that she was in Quidditch tryouts. Plus she loved quidditch anyways so this was perfect. Miranda grinned and made her way out of the library.
She stopped...were you supposed to check this out or did you just take the book and leave?
Miranda remembered going to the muggle library with her mother, you had to have a library card to borrow the books... Hmmm i better ask first she told herself and made her way to the front desk
