| | |  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.  | |

"Geez, what in Merlin's beard happened to you?" Kayla reached out with her hand to touch his face but she stopped short just a few inches away and she let her hand hover there for a moment before dropping it again. "And no you don't look stupid actually you look rather hot in that suit" she chuckled softly hoping to lighten the mood a little.

"I don't know about the hot part." *He shrugged then pointed to his eye.*
"I got in a fight with my cousin... he thinks it's my fault that granmum passed."

"How is it your fault? From what you just said, she had been sick for a while and it was going to happen eventually." Kayla thought his cousin sounded like a bit of an idiot if he was blaming Gabben for this.

"She was sick but it looks like someone killed her outside the doctors office, and that doctor wanted to talk to her about me." *He put his hands in his pockets and looked down.*
"Grandfather said it was fast... no pain on her part." *He sighed and looked up.*
"I'd rather not talk about it... not yet. Whats been going on here in the school. You seem to be running around everywhere."

"Okay well I am here if you need me" Kayla said giving him a smile. "Oh well we found out why the Professor's have been acting weird. Apparently the ghosts were trying to protect a treasure and they placed an age line around the Mirror. That's why they have been behaving like eleven year olds" she gave a small chuckle, she had found the whole thing amusing.

"So the age line is making them act like children? For how long?" *The idea did seem rather funny and made sence.*
"Wouldn't the ghosts tell the teachers about the age line?"

"The Professor's are being rounded up as we speak and the Grey Lady has reversed the spell." Kayla sighed and leaned up against the bookshelf. "Apparently not, the Grey Lady was trying to protect some treasure and she didn't say anything to anyone." Looks like Hogwarts would be back to normal again, well as normal as Hogwarts can get anyway.

"So normal comes back right at the end of term?" *Gabben laughed at that thought. Then again when was this school ever normal. He liked that this school wasn't normal.*
"So how is my favorite prefect doing with finals? Not crying to much over them are you?"

Kayla laughed and punched him lightly on the arm. "I'm about ready to pull my hair out if you must know" she sighed deeply again. "I can't wait for the holidays to be honest. What will you be doing during your summer break?"

"My grandfather is sending me to camp. It's more like a boot camp really, only for the magical. He's been training me to be a fighter for as long as I can remember." *He was lost in a thought for a minute but then pulled himself out of it.*
"I get to learn to fight the muggle and magical way. And that reminds me, you and I need to do some sword fighting. If not before the term ends then maybe the next. What about you? What are you going to do?"

Kayla laughed out loud, "I find that so funny because that is what my grandmother used to do during my summer breaks. Only she had rather special plans for me." She idly looked at one of the books on the shelf, but she couldn't do it anymore not where she was.
"Sure I'd love to swordfight with you...anytime" she answered and thought about what she was going to do over the summer. "I don't know yet. I haven't really made any plans as such. I have been invited to a few friends houses, so I might do that."

Jack couldnt believe he was in the Library.He wasnt dump,or thick,actually he was very intelligent,he just didnt use it.He had it all there,but never put the effort in to show off that brain he had upstairs.He was in the very silent Library to find a book he needed,to finish his last piece of homework he needed.
A potions book to be precise

Amanda headed into the library, needing to find a book for Ancient Runes so she could study for the final. She knew that it was in the bookshelves somewhere but she wasn't sure where however, so she decided to basically wander through each of the sections; looking for the book that she needed.

Jack didnt really enjoy visiting the Library,as she didnt really like the silence,but when there was one more piece of homework that needed completeing..well he surrendered his boundry between himself and the Library.He was walking through a new section now,named Potions.Bingo
Perfect,he said,as he passed some books that were the ones he had been looking for."There you are you little.."he said,pulling the book out of the shelf.He grinned to himself."Ive been looking for you everywhere."he said,talking to the book.How sad of him.

Amanda looked over and saw a guy talking to a book. Well, that was quite odd however everything was just odd this term so she wasn't surprised to say the least. She finally found the book she was looking for and pulled it from the shelf, however it was quite heavy, so she ended up falling back onto the floor from the weight of the book.

Jack was about to open the book when something loud made a thudding noise.Jack was so shocked that he dropped his book onto the floor and making a sort of 'Ah' sound.He looked to see a young girl,half sat on her back,with a book on top of her.Jack looked at her and swiftly moved over to her side."Geez,you alright there little Lady?"he asked,with a small smile,lifting the book with ease.He looked at her,and offered his hand in her direction."Let me help you up.."he said

"Yeah I'm fine, I might have a bruise but nothing I'm not used to, I've suffered worse damage in a duel." Amanda said with a smile, taking the guy's hand and slowly getting back up to her feet. Jeez, she had to make herself look like a right idiot by doing that but of course she intended to take revenge on the book, somehow. "Thanks, I don't believe we've met before, my name's Amanda Lesalle and I'm a 3rd year Slytherin." She said quite politely, introducing herself somewhat formally to the boy.

"Can I ask you something? Why do you hate your grandmother?"

"Sure sounds like fun" Kayla answered. "Just send me an owl and I'll be there with bells on" she giggled.
At his question, Kayla eyed Gabben warily unsure of whether to tell him or not. It wasn't a pretty story and she didn't particularly want to scare him off, he had been a good friend to her over the year. Taking a deep breath, she decided to see how much of a good friend he really was. "Rosa Cavello, that's my grandmother's name...used to be an assassin. Apparently she saw potential in me and decided that she would train me to become one as well so that I could take over from where she had left off" Kayla leaned back against the bookshelf and closed her eyes. "And I did let her train me for a few years, I didn't have a choice really, she was blackmailing me you see. She managed to get me to do a few things I would rather not talk about before I could take it no more and with the help of an ex-auror I managed to put her in Azkaban" she opened her eyes slowly and looked at Gabben, "So there you go, there's a lot more to it of course but that's the story in a nutshell. So now you know why I hate my grandmother."

*Gabben was a little taken aback by the news. Most of all her grandmothers name. He thought he had heard her name before. He frowned then made a move to hug her. It looked like she might need one but he stopped and looked stupid with his arms out. He put them back to his side. Kayla's story sounded a lot like his own. His grandfather wanted him to go in his footsteps, but Gabbens grandfather was a magical war hero.*
"Kayla I'm, so sorry..." *He didn't know what else to say. He gave her a warm friendly smile letting her know that no matter what he would be there for her.*

Kayla saw the recognition on Gabben's face when he heard her grandmother's name and it didn't surprise one little bit. The woman was known by many, which was why Kayla had so many people after her but that was not something she was about to tell Gabben. She watched as he went to give her a hug and then stopped short, she probably would have fallen gratefully into his arms but then that would show a sign of weakness and only Nicholai got to see that.
She gave Gabben a faint smile, "It's okay I am used to it now and besides she can't do anything while she is in Azkaban." So why she did have this foreboding that something terrible was about to happen and it had everything to do with that woman.

"You shouldn't be used to that... no one should be." *He put a hand on her shoulder and gave her a warm smile.*
"For what it's worth, your a good person, you have a good heart. No one can take that away from you, not even your aunt."
*He got a feeling that she was troubled. She hides it well he thought to himself. It was then he knew that Kayla and him were more a like then he thought.*

"Well it's either get used to it or fall apart and I refuse to do that" Kayla shrugged and then gave Gabben a smile. "Thank you for saying that, I sometimes forget" she moved forward and gave him a hug.
"You have been good to me through this whole year, making me laugh and stopping me from being lonely and depressed. I'll never forget that" she vowed. Kayla moved back a step and cleared her throat a little. "So now that we're done with the dramatics and term is almost over, we should go somewhere and have some fun."

*Gabben nodded and hugged her back then pulled back. That might not be a good idea. He had to remind himself that Kayla was with someone. He sighed.*
"Thats what friends are for. To be there no matter what. Now what did you have in mind?"
*He smirked and rubbed his hands together.*

Kayla nodded in agreement, "The same goes for me. If you ever need me I will be there...no matter what." She looked at his excited face and she let out a laugh, "Oh I don't know you're the prankster around here, why don't you tell me."
