| | Library Reading Lounge As you enter the Hogwarts library, what appears to be a cozy nook in one corner of the main area appears most appealing to the Hogwarts student interested in his or her reading. Upon further inspection, you see that this comfy area is larger than it had seemed on first sight. Spread throughout the room are clusters of armchairs, surrounding magical reading lamps giving off different levels of light, all of which are appropriate for reading. These clusters are perfect for study groups or group projects.
Here and there are a few lone armchairs for the student who enjoys quiet solitary reading, and a number of sofas for any that would rather stretch out and put their feet up. Be sure not to muddy them up though!
A soft glow of light is present throughout the room, with more magical lamps in each possible reading space. Be sure not to make much noise and respect some students' wishes to read in quiet.
One last note, no food or drink in the reading lounge. Happy reading! |

"Umm yeah, ok. But can you guys just not bother her so much- she's going through a rough time with her family, and it's really bothering her..."Adam added before walking away, turning around, and scrutinizting his face. However Michal knew he , Adam was there for Sapph, he will never know...But he wanted to talk to him...Adam would not say anything of her mother.That wasn't too hard...."I don't know what happened?"Adam told Sapph as he came back to her corner.
"I don't know. He got an army of girls to gang up on me." she said with a scoff. "Thanks so much." she said happily looking up at him and giving him another hug. "You're the only person who knows this about me." she whispered in his ear and wanted to get out of the library. "I really want to get out of here. Where do you want to go?" she asked him with a sweet smile.

Enya walked into the reading lounge. She picked up a book, and sat down on a couch, pretending to read, but not feeling much like it.

Enya shook her head. "His dad's done everything possible. there is nothing that can be done about the curse. You can't cheat death." She said softly. then looking up into his eyes wit her own teary ones she whispered. "I think I will be ok, but could you hold me for a while?"

She wrapped her arms around him. laying her head on his shoulder, listening to his heartbeat. Somehow, every feeling that she had been fighting just washed over her again. It was like the pain she was feeling was just gone and she was wrapped in the warmth and comfort of love.

Enya shook her head. "I promised him that his last moments would be with his family alone, and I'm going to keep that promise." She whispered. "There is only one way you can help me, and you're doing it." she replied, wrapping tighter into the hug.

Fee had read her love novel till the last page and just got another book.
A thriller this time.
She sat down at one of the velvet couches and started reading. *Happy Sigh*
She loved books.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Margaret Jacqueline Atkinson Morris Fifth Year | Potter’s Princess A+ FangGirl Quote:
Originally Posted by Blackened Not phased at all by her less than courteous greeting, Teagan answered her raised brow with a smile. "Not the most interesting introduction, don't you find? I liked 'A Wizard's Guide to Hogwarts' much more. Puts things better into perspective. You should give it a try," he nodded, a bit surprised that she hadn't read 'Hogwarts, A History' yet. Most people went through it before even starting First Year, or at least that's what anecdotal evidence showed him. But he didn't comment on this train of thought in the least; he strayed from anything that could bring about a negative vibe.
And now she was asking him why he didn't give her more space. Good question, that. It sort of tied in nicely with what he had observed for himself before; she always seemed to be everywhere he turned. And he wasn't the type to ignore someone he knew. But that had all been explained before, to no result. "Why, d'you want me to leave?" He had flipped open his book, but now he was ready to shut it again. Teagan looked at her expectantly, not smiling anymore, but just waiting for her verdict serenely. Margaret had to admit that he had surprised her. Not because he had read the book, of course, for she was quite sure that many had done so or there wouldn't be as many copies of the book in that library as there were, but because he actually had a valid appreciation of the beginning of the book. Wow. Could the boy actually have a tiny bit of brains or was it just something he had heard someone else saying and was repeating it to impress her? Mmm... Probably the second option. He still didn't look smart enough in her book. "No, no it's not," She agreed, her eyes looking at him with clear suspicion. "Into perspective? It's not perspective that I want, it's fact and fact alone. I prefer to get my own perspective than follow that of others," She shifted in her seat so that she'd look taller and mightier.
Ah, it seemed like her new position had worked wonders, for he actually seemed to have finally worked out his tiny little mind to understand what she wanted him to do all along. Nevertheless, she couldn't even phantom as to why he had not picked it up before nor why he actually had to ask her when she showed it in more than one way. "Do not tell me that you haven't picked up the answer to that yet," She rolled her eyes. "I've been telling it to you ever since we met." She sighed and glanced around, noticing how the library was beginning to get slightly packed and, perhaps, a bit noisy too. If it got worse, she'd just have to find somewhere else to go to where people could not be seen. Margaret had no idea of where that may be, though. "Ah, and the answer to that is 'yes' if you really haven't worked it out yet."
__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. |

Cassandra turned to the final page and was surprised, she just finished her History of Magic book. She put the book down and looked around the room, looking for a familiar face, but everyone's noses were buried inside their books. She didn't want to return to the noisy common room just yet, luckily, she had thought of bringing another book...so without another word, she brought out her fiction book and began reading once more.

She laughed. Liz looked like she was gonna dash any second. "Calm down girl, I'm fine." 'Pam's right. I need to calm down,' Liz thought. "Okay, okay, I will," she said with a smile.
Again, Liz began to browse in her book. Nothing... nothing... Ah! "It says here that you didn't always have to be 17 to enter. People our age would enter." Why hadn't people thought of the 17-years-to-enter thing before? "Seems like it would just be logical to have to be 17, huh? Finding anything interesting?"

"hmm, that's interesting, I guess cause kids our age didn't know the right spells." She read through her book some more. "Well nothing really, just the different tasks they'd use in teh past."

Liz switched books. Nothing. "Everything I'm picking up has the same information. We could check some of the out and read them more later. Want to?"
She was getting very bored. And what is one terrific way to break boredom? "We should do some more exploring!"

Hogwarts RPG Name: Lilyana Roseman Second Year |
Lilyana turned the page of Hogwarts, a History and learned it was the last page. Wow! I really do read fast life people say I do! She thought. Most people at her school before Hogwarts would sit and watch her read because they said she did it so fast it was fascinating.... yet she thought that creepy.
Lilyana looked around to see how many people had come into the reading lounge since she had gotten there. She didn't see anyone she knew, but she wanted to stay anyhow, and started looking for another book. Perhaps a good teenage romance novel?

Indeed, it was very quick, as a result of the fuel of more exploring. "Okay, where have we not explored...? Oh! We could go see where the kitchen is and find a way in!"
A pre-dinner snack sounded nice to Liz. This time, it was her grabbing Pam's hand and dragging her out.

Getting your own perspective kind of defeats the whole purpose of it... perspective is supposed to not be limited to just one individual's understanding of things. At least that's what I like to believe." Teagan rounded up his little speech by snapping his book shut. He was in no way disheartened by her rudeness and general lack of people skills, but he was also quite a smart lad and knew when he was fighting a lost cause. And while he didn't believe in giving up, he was clearly wasting his positive vibes on someone who cared nothing about him or his efforts. "Well, I'm sorry for not picking it up sooner. I won't bother you any more then," he said with a smile, getting up. He placed his book back into his pocket and looked to his left and his right, deciding on the spot which way to leave. "I hope you enjoy Hogwarts, I really do." And he meant it.

Looking down to her robe, she saw the Slytherin emblem right there on her chest. Whoops.. She forgot she was wearing them. She hadn't worn them for most of last year, actually. "I have not met anyone from Durmstrang yet..." That would be an interesting encounter.
"That sounds interesting," Eirian decided, nodding to herself. "I would enter if I was old enough. I am good at applicating magic, but I do not perform so well in class..." It would help if she went to class... "What year are you in? Are you going to enter?" If he was, she might just have to root for him. Who else would she cheer for? Neko wouldn't enter... would she? America? Hm, Kel had never been there. He'd never been to Spain, either. Really, his Spanish speaking skills were useless. But who knew, maybe he'd meet someone that spoke it, too. That would be cool. "The Durmstrang students are probably the ones staying with us Ravenclaws." he guessed, nodding. If the Beauxbatons were staying with the Slytherins, that kind of made sense. "I'm good at some magic," he told her, "Charms and things." He wasn't the best at dueling, or the abstract things like Arithmacy and Divination. But he highly doubted those subjects would be in the tournament. "I'm in my seventh year. I turn eighteen at the end of this month." he answered. "And I've already entered. It's just a matter of getting chosen, now."
