| | 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. |

Celandine smiled brightly and looked up at Plymouth. "And you can give me my present."

Hogwarts RPG Name: Zahra Kettleburn Seventh Year | Inside Kitty | HIT ENTER | UNO Queen Not exactly what Plymouth had in mind. "Um... well, okay. Sure. Just...," Plymouth looked at the crazy orally fixated kid and said, "be careful." Plymouth leaned in for a quick nose nuzzle (to finish the secret hand shake and all) and walked backwards (keeping an eye on Crocker) out of the row of books. "See ya, Girlfriend!" Plymouth blew a kiss and skipped out of the library. |

Celandine waved cheerfully and blew a kiss in return before turning to Willie and smiling brightly. "I'm going to study now. You can come sit with me if you like."

His green eyes watched the big boy closely, somewhat waiting for him to do something stupid so Willie could teach him a lesson. Although, the boy seemed to chose to ignore him, which upset the small boy a bit. Willie watched with disgust as Cela and weird boy nuzzled noses.
Once Cela spoke up, Willie smiled at her and reached into his pocket to pull out the half eaten chocolate. "I gotth thome chocolate fer ya. Wanna eat 'em wit me?" Willie asked her, sitting himself next to her. "Ye know... tha' feller ye were wit' ith weird, eh?"

"Uh oh..." she mumbled, blinking at the cat. She was going to be in trouble with Kohan now for sure.
But she had to deal with the boys first. "That," Annie announced to the little Slytherin, "was like this." She whipped her wand out again and swished, then flicked it toward Miles. He wasn't wearing a badge...but he was on the list....
"Wingardium Leviosa!" Bunbury cast quietly. They were in a library, after all. She had to whisper.
Without waiting to see if the boys would block her spell, Annie turned heel and ran away from the bookshelves. She had to catch that kitten! Quote:

But to be fair, he liked to admit he was a hit with the ladies.
Instead of trying to peak through the hole in the shelf, Miles decided to crane his neck around the bookcase and had a sneaky peaky at the professor. Nothing special, really. Quote:

This was his chance to show what he was made of, and that he actually could defend himself against the Dark Arts. Miles quickly whipped his wand out an uttered "Protego!" As they were in a library. And yes! It worked, not even one toe lifted off the ground. Sucess! Cam just opened his mouth after that professor laughed at him or maybe laughed at the books fallen down to the floor. Where was his wand? Oh right you couldn't hex a professor for the DADA homework. Maybe you could but it's possible you'd be dead in the next second. Or in BunBun's case, get eaten by her devil plants. I'm seriously going to beat her up when she's retired and an old lady. That way, it would be a much easier and an unfair match.
And she let out a gasp. A painful one. It just seemed that her small cat was the hero for the day. He wondered if it was abused, if BunBun made the little thingy her for her plant experiments. Yeah that was it. "Hehe." OK, so he had to laugh. Who couldn't laugh in a situation like that?
Then again she would all be hurt and stuff. Well it doesn't matter, I think she deserves that for mistreating a cat. Cam gasped again when Professor BunBun pulled out her wand again and pointed it to someone else, not him. It was Miles. Wingardium Leviosa? He really wanted to do that spell, and he hadn't seen it in action.
For once he was cheering for BunBun to hit Miles. Cam looked at her one more time and raised an eyebrow when she... just ran away? Oh right, her cat. Her cat was the problem. And sadly, she failed her spell so he reminded himself to go talk to that Ashby later.
Looking back at Miles he smiled again and then turned to the books on the floor. Eeep. BunBun... UGGHHHHHH. Now her mess was his problem. So he decided to pick them up and tried putting them in their correct order. Honestly he wasn't really good at organizing. While working with the books, he spoke to Miles.
"Yeah you know, there's like, girls talking about you. I feel sorry for you actually, to be talked about behind your back. They must like you then. I think like like you."
Ew. Cam actually told someone that someone liked liked them. That was odd. But he was trying to win over the girls by this Miles so that he could be talked about behind his own back. He was really lying to him, he was like totally jealous (but not jealous on the "like like" part). But he didn't want only girls to talk about him. He wanted everyone to talk about him. Hehe. World domination is mine.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Elsa Pinkerton-Oliveira Third Year | Snuffles Sweetness | Sirius is my veil dancer Joanne entered the library with a faint smile on her face. She entered the first Book shelve on her right and started looking at the names of the books, to see if any of them caught her attention. She passed by a boy with a bunch of books in his arms, putting them in the shelves. She continued her way still not sure of what she was looking for, but confident that the moment she saw it, she would know. This has been an awful quiet day she though as she noticed one big large red book near the Potions section. She read the title ""The must-know potions" that's interesting. She took it from the shelve and opened at the index, running her finger while she read the names listed.

World domination is mine. Miles laughed a little as Bunbury rushed off quickly after conjuring that, and Miles, with all elegance and amazing-ness, defended himself. Kazmirez will be impressed. A little bit flustered, Miles caught Cam cheering at something. "Whuut?" He frowned at the younger boy. "Were you spurring her on?" He folded his arms in disgust and turned back to his book.
How rude.
But when Cam continued to speak of these girls who liked to talk about him, he seceretely turned his head a little so he could hear. "Well, they must be girls I know. Unfortunately, most of my friends are girls." Miles rolled his eyes at himself. Why would random girls talked about him? He snorted. "I doubt it, plus, I'm taken anyway." |

Cam glanced at the boy named Miles and quickly looked around the room just to lose eye-contact with him. What was he suppose to say? That he really was cheering on BunBuns so that the older Slytherin could have been lifted up into the ground or something? Well he was about to say that but remembered that he needed to be friends with more of his kind and saying that would ruin his friendship with this guy he just met a few minutes ago. Saying mean things was a no-no and that lying was a yes-yes. Yeah that was exactly right.
"No-Noooo," he started and quickly came up with something to lie about, then speaking again in a convincing voice, "I was seriously cheering for you so that you wouldn't be lifted up into the air!"
Was that lie really good enough?
Then he started talking about the girls. Taken? Ewwwww. That meant this Miles had some sort of a girlfriend or something! Disgusting people these days. "So, Miles, uhhhm... what's up?"
Pffft, he didn't want to talk about girls and being "taken" so he had to of course change the subject.

Sneeze walked around the bookshelves. He was looking for one book, one word. His finger than hit a book's spine and burned. Sneeze gave a small yelp and then looked at the book. "Forward." He smiled at it and picked it up and opened it. "The Future Is Unknown... Or Is It?" He read to himself. "Here, in this book you will see what will happen to you. It might be akward, but don't interfer with it. It's going to happen anyways. But the scene is short, the future changeable, except for some points. It is up to you to choose those points. Have fun!" This book was weird, more the introduction. Confusing. He sat down and read. Hmm...

| Double Agent Stamps! Abby goes looking through the shelves for The Life of Harry Potter. She could kick herself for not bringing her set with her, but how was she to know she would have use of it? Not to mention she didn't have room for seven additional books in her trunk. Here they are. I knew Hogwarts Library would have at least one set of it. After all most of what's in the books took place here at Hogwarts. Abby takes volume seven and volume two off the shelves. She then goes to find a quiet table. Abby has some serious reading to do. |

Ray quickly moved towards Abby after he got her letter. "Abby I am here!" He said after he found her beside some bookshelves. "Did you find the book?" Ray asked.

| Double Agent Stamps! "Whatever you think is best. The sooner we know where the other half is; the sooner I can get rid of this." Abby takes the stone out of her pocket and shows it to Ray. "It must be the original half. The part Dumbledore still had. He must have hidden it in the Mirror of Erised before he died. Look see how it cracked down the middle." Abby hands the stone to Ray. "That's good. We can match this part of the Resurrection Stone with the other half, then we will know we have the right stone." |

Ray takes the stone and contemplates it for a while. He couldn't imagine that he was holding a legendary item between his hand or at least half of it. "It can't be repaired by simple magic" Ray revealed to Abby. "I can see that clearly I think we need the other half to fuse it again together" Ray added. "Now what should we exactly search for?" he asked as he returned the stone to Abby.

| Double Agent Stamps! "Fuse it back together, are you crazy? We have no idea what will happen if we do that. Lady Ravenclaw said she was looking for stones, so I think she means more than one. If I remember correctly Dumbledore left the other half of the stone to Harry Potter. We need to find out what happened to it. Then we need to decide who we should give the stone to. A few days ago, I would have taken it automatically to Professor Kazimeriz, but now I don't know who we should give it to. Professors Trubridge and Vindictus seem to know a lot about the mirror and what it contained. They've been giving out clues since the beginning of the term. If they knew what the mirror held, why didn't they just get it themselves." |

"I didn't mean to refuse it together" Ray said "to use it... Well we will find more later right now we should search for the other half and we have to probably give it to the headmaster or maybe someone we trust how about our muggles studies and History of magic professors I think we can trust them"

Jane was strolling the library bookshelves for Owl Care books, trying to figure out how come the school owl hasn't returned from France with a reply. She scanned through the thoughts in the room and centered around two students talking about some stone.
She took a seat near them and peeked at them sideways from the HOW TO UNDERSTAND OWLS book.

I'm just wondering if I did the right thing taking the stone from its hiding place. I ran into Professor Kazimeriz in the hallway. He had stunned Professeor Vindictus and was carrying him somewhere. I think I told Kazimeriz things I shouldn't have. Vindictus asked some questions that turned out to be clues about where the stone was hidden. I thought Professor Kazimeriz knew everything that was going on. I thought the Grey Lady had told him everything. Ray, I'm afraid I've already made of mess of things." Abby leans against the book shelf. She likes the idea of letting Professor Trubridge in on their secret. They need a teacher on their side, and Trubridge and Kazimeriz seem to have some bad blood between them. |

"I know Abby and it is scarier when Voldemortis is concerned with it" Ray replied. "We can't trust everyone and we can bearly trust the others students we have to be really careful about this we already lost a Hufflepuff we don't want to be the next" Ray revealed. "However I have asked to be on this and I will try to protect you I am known to be good at casting spells I just never faught someone from Voldemortis level"

| Double Agent Stamps! "Do you think Voldemorstist is involved in all of this?" Abby had never considered that. She hadn't considered much of anything except solving the mystery. "Do you think Kazimeriz might be working for him?" Abby knew Professor Kazimeriz was different from the other teachers, but she always thought that had to do with his auror career. Her parents had friends who were aurors, and they were always different from the average wizard. |

Twilight came in the library intent on getting her DADA homework done. Slowly she found the other two books she remembered that her Grandfather had had lying open in his library and sat down on the floor to read them. It was very hard to concentrate on her reading as two of her Hufflepuff students were talking very close to her. She shook her head, trying hard not to listen in as she had promised herself to stay out of all this trouble specially after what her professor had said to her. She scribbled her notes very fast and then packed up her things and put the books back on the shelf.
With a furtive glance at her felloe Hufflepuff and a small incline of her head, she gathered up her things and left the library heading for the Common room.

"It's a possibility that Voldemortis is a part of this... Don't forget that there was an unexplained death in this library even and we have professors acting all weird I don't know if the school will ask the aurors to come and protect us but I think we should wait. Back to our subject what do you think we will find the stone?" Ray asked.

| Double Agent Stamps! Abby shivers at the thought of Voldemortist being involved in whatever is going on at the school. She's heard tales about him. Voldemortist is as ruthless as his name sake and just as dangerous. "I'm not sure. I remember Harry opening the snitch Dumbledore left him when he was in the Forbidden Forest. Harry lost it when he got to Voldemort's camp, but I don't remember where his camp was?" |
