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!

Rubiey clapped her hands together. "Sounds perfect! Of course its not! I'm excited too!" She giggled. This was gonna be interesting....

"So I guess whenever one of us gets the hair we need, then we'll go and find the other, and we can head up to the RoR. I think I might have a teapot that we can use, and we can always use one of the burners from our cauldron set to heat it up."

"Yes, it would be nice..." he had to admit after a minute's thought. Then, after another pause, he said "But isn't it rainy there?" Like London?

Monique thought for a moment. "I guess... I have never really thought about it... I enjoy the rain so it does not bother me." She hated mud and snow.

Evan could hardly refrain from raising his eyebrows. Monique enjoyed rain? Eww.. He hated rain, although it often depended on whom he was with, and how cold it was. He simply nodded as his stomach growled rather loudly. Oops. He immediately looked down, face red. That shouldn't have happened while talking to such a nice lady! Mumbling, barely audible, he said "Shall we... eat something?" Because he was obviously hungry.

With a mighty sigh, Liz reshuffled her Muggle playing cards and rearranged them back for her twelfth game of Solitaire. She knew that she could have been using her time for some productive studying, and was very unlike her not to, but her brain felt strained.

More than anything, she wished her father was with her and was challenging her to a game of Three Quarters that he was sure to win. Liz hadn't expected to miss home as much as she did, and had secretly cried at night quite a few times. Thinking of those tears shed and her parents' smiling face (but only one truly smiling) she felt like crying again.

'Suck it up,' she thought to herself, but she never really been good at giving herself orders. Trying to distract the sorrow, she went back her game of cards.

Naturally, Sapphinelle in the library was the first thing that would come to her mind.
She noticed a girl looking sad and lonely...was she ok? Her Huffiness broke her away from her intense study session and she walked over to her.

"Hey... are you ok? You seem.... uneasy."

she said with a worried look as she noticed the Muggle playing cards.
"Oooh, card games! I'm Sapphinelle by the way... I'm Muggle-born." she said sweetly in her French accent as she gave the girl a warm smile.

Katie walked in and saw a girl that looked her age, Ravenclaw! Yay! Katie loved Ravenclaw, they were so nice, "Hey" Katie said as she smiled at the girl.

Liz smiled at Sapphinelle, noticing she had a French accent.
"I'm fine. Homesick. I've never been away from home longer than a week," she explained, feeling the color drain from her face, which was her custom version of a blush.
"Er, I'm Liz," she tried to erase the embarrassment, "Want to play cards with me? Oops!" The cards fluttered to the ground from her hands. Liz bent to pick them up.

Still scrambling to collect the cards, she heard another voice addressing her.
"Hi!" Liz said brightly as color once again returned to her face, "I'm Liz! What about you?"
Trying to organize the cards back, she asked, "You want to play cards, too?"

"Ugh. Same! I miss my mom. She's been really sick at home..." she said, pulling a sad face. "Anyways, nice to meet you Liz! Ravenclaw? Smartie, then." she said with a little laugh. "That's alright!" she said as she pulled out her wand.
"Wingardium Leviosa!" she whispered confidently as the cards hovered in the air, then fell back into place on the table. "There you go." she said with a smile as she re-pocketed her wand.
"Do you know... Crazy 8's? Really simple." she said with another trademark smile.

"Thanks," she said as she watched Sapphinelle put all the cards back in order.

'Sick? Like my mom?' Liz wondered. She would have been glad to know she wasn't alone.
Her deep blue eyes searched Sapphinelle's face for the look she often saw in her own. Liz couldn't have been sure, but she thought she saw it.

"Yeah, Ravenclaw, but I don't know how my IQ measures up," she said with a soft laugh, "Hufflepuff, huh? Good friend, good person, loyal, hardworking, right? It's easy to see in you." She opened her mouth, about to ask Sapphinelle about her mom, but quickly closed it. Of course, it was very rude to come out like that and ask.

The color, again, vanished from her face and she let her hair fall around it as she shuffled the cards and said in a cheery voice, "Yep, I know how to play." Liz began to pass out the cards.

She gave her another smile. She liked this girl!

She watched her look into her eyes. She knew what was wrong- maybe she could relate to her. It's her mom, too. Yeah it was, she could tell from the worried look in her eyes. Wow, she really was a Huffie! hehe.

"You're in the library, aren't you?" she said with a little laugh. Her face lit up from the compliment. "Really? Thanks! You're a natural born Ravie, too. You even kinda fit the description!" she said with a little giggle. She noticed her shutting herself up about something. "You can it, it's ok. If it's about my mom, I don't mind." she said calmly, shuffling the cards she was given.

"You wanna go first?" she asked politely, and gave her new friend a big, reassuring smile. She knew exactly how she felt.

"Okay," Liz said. She was really replying to both statements.

Laying down a seven of spades, she wondered how she should begin to ask Sapphinelle about her mom. She decided to start with her own.

"My mom is sick, too. She's depressed. Her mom died, and then her brother, and then an unborn baby. It was sad. All of that happened too quickly. It set her off. She started to cry a lot, so we took her to the doctor, but he didn't want to put her on pills. 'Said it was a different kind of depression. My dad stayed home with her for a long time, but he had to go back to work. So now her sister and her other friend trade off and stay with her everyday. She just stopped everything. It's like all her life just went away, and now she's just a body. Your the second person at this school that knows that."

Liz felt like she was being very dramatic, which was not cool with her. She wanted to apologize, too, but she didn't know what for.

She put down a seven of hearts, and contemplated all that Liz was saying.

"Wow, I'm really sorry Liz. I'll pray for you guys." she said with a smile.

"My mom.... she's been sick since I was little. She has some kind of unknown thing... she has wayyy too much stress, so lots is put on her. She had 3 discs in her neck and lower back replaced, but she still doesn't know what's wrong. Her symptoms keep coming back, and we don't know what's going on... so she's hospitalized. I was going to visit for the Holidays, but... she doesn't want me to see her so sick and go into shock or something." she said dramatically, taking a deep breath.

"You're the second person I've told, too." she said with another smile.
"I'm so lucky to have found you. You UNDERSTAND." she said with a deep breath. She could actually breath again. It felt... good.

Ah. Monique giggled at his growl of stomach. Evan blushed even further. Stupid stomach. Getting up, he stuffed his book in his bag and offered his hand to her. He had to eat something before some accident else happened.

She tried to imagine what Sapphinelle's life at home must have been like, but couldn't.

Despite their hard situations, Liz smiled. She knew that Sapphinelle could understand.

"I'll be praying for you, too. And if she says you can go see her, I'll go with you." Support was important, and Liz knew that well.

She about to suggest that they research the symptoms of her mother's illness, but decided against it. That could create some major pain.

'Maybe I could research on my own? Or would that be betrayal?' Liz pondered.

"I feel lucky to have found you, too. You have no idea how relieving it is. Well, I guess you do," she said, "Oh, I completely forgot about our cards. My turn," Liz laid down a queen of hearts.

She had a sigh of relief. She really cared. She knew how it felt!

She laughed at this. "So, are you related to any famous people of Hogwarts?" she asked curiously, considering she was related to Hermione Granger. She sure had adopted her study habits!

Lauralicious · 10-11-2010, 04:05 PM

Fee sat down at one of the comfy couches.
This time she had a thriller in her hand. No love storys anymore.
She was sick of love. Pfff, that didnt even exist.
Love caused only trouble and Fee found that out now.
From now on she would stop feeling. Take her heart and throw the key into the lake.
Having feelings like this destroyed two friendships...

Ellieeenator · 10-13-2010, 09:24 PM

Sadie found herself in the library stretched out on one of the couches with a book propped up and her face hiding behind it. She was actually doing stuff on her phone but this was suppose to be some sort of punishment for not reading the recent lesson they had been assigned in DADA. Ughh...so she was suppose to read that one and the new reading work. Why did they actually expect she was going to do what they asked?

She wore muggle clothing, Adidas black stretch pants with a pink jacket. Her curly hair was messily up and her brown Uggs were on her feet. She was nice and comfy. The days were getting more freezing so that meant it was time to go laid back. Sadly. Sigh...it was only 4:23pm. Two more hours to go.

BanaBatGirl · 10-13-2010, 09:42 PM

Fletcher was being his usual shifty self, albeit more shifty than usual on this particular day in the library. The boy shuffled to the end of a row, looked around the edge of the books, and then slowllllly crept on over to the corner reading lounge.

He looked about and was pleased to see that this section of the library, at least, was blissfully empty. All the better for him ~~and Muffin.~~ Fletcher carefully sat down on a soft chaise about two away from the only occupied couch. Hmm. He eyed the girl/boy/person seated there and debated about muffliato-ing his little spot.

Nah, she wouldn't bother him. She --- and he was guessing it was a she now that he noticed those ugly brown boots every girl wore --- had probably fallen asleep under the cover of her book. He wasn't concerned.

Fletcher unslung his bag from his shoulder and carefully opened it up. A little squeak and a furry, whiskered face poked out happily. "Shh, Muffin, not yet. Just another minute." He looked up to see if anyone had heard and then poked the baby niffler back down into his bag. Fletcher stretched out on the chaise, keeping his bag close to his side, and pulled out a book to read.

Everything You Need to Know About the Niftiness of Nifflers. Of course.

Ellieeenator · 10-13-2010, 09:50 PM

Sadie had been busy texting on her phone but her neck was REALLY hurting from this uncomfortable position. It's not there was a soft pillow under her neck. She turned her neck from left to right to see if it would crack at all. Then her phone slipped out of her hand and onto the floor her turned to pick it up but somehow ended up tumbling off the couch. OUCH!!!! Ughhh this was fate punishing her for being lazy.

The girl sat up and shook her hair out of her face and stood up and pulled her sweatshirt down. Sadie heard some sort of noise and turned around to see....Fletcher?!...talking to his bag beside him. She shut her DADA book and sat back down on her couch. No she was not going to say anything because he was just rude and who did people take her for hmmmm?

BanaBatGirl · 10-13-2010, 10:04 PM

Fletcher looked up from his book, rather startled at the sound of someone either tripping or falling. He glanced around, confused, and then saw the girl a few seats over rearranging herself. Apparently she had fallen right off the couch.

Snickerrrrrrrr. Fletcher smirked to himself and went back to his book. But of course, Muffin had heard the commotion too and wanted to make sure it wasn't his owner. "It's okay lil buddy," Fletcher shushed, flipping open his bag again to wave his fingers at the niffler. The fuzzy creature continued squeaking however, and Fletcher did not want to get thrown out of the library.

He sighed to himself and quickly tugged Muffin out of his bag, tucking the little guy into the crook of his elbow. "There, happy?" The niffler snuggled close, happily shutting his little eyes. Good thing there was nothing shiny around, right? And no one to witness this?

Fletcher's gaze trailed over to the girl, just to be sure she wasn't watching or anything. Satisfied that she wasn't, he kicked his feet back on the couch again and re-opened his book.

Waaaaaaaaait a minute. Wait wait wait. Was that who he thought it was? Fletcher's eyes poked out above the top of his (upside-down) book. "Sadie?" he called out quietly. He hadn't seen her in Merlin knew how long he couldn't even be sure.

But who else had hair like that?

"A Huffie. My dad thought I would be one. Actually, I did too. I make fine grades, but I've always been more of a Hufflepuff than a Ravvie. But I guess the hat knows best, ya know?"

Famous people? Hmm...

"I don't think so. I should ask my aunt! She went back a lot of generations, I don't know how many, and found all of our dead relatives. Kinda depressing, but cool." She thought about her aunt's huge family tree, and then remembered something her pen pal had told her.
"I have a pen pal in the States, and she's related to Jesse James. I didn't know who that was, but I looked it up and I guess he was some big outlaw in the Old West times there. Are you related to anybody famous?" She inquired. Liz wondered if being related to someone who was famous made the relative famous.

ooc: I really do have an aunt who traced back our family tree and found that we really are related to Jesse James. I'm related to a big time criminal, haha.

Magical Soul · 10-18-2010, 09:32 PM

The Ravvie was sitting on one of those comfy chairs with a really big book in front of her when she missed Enya. Her friend should've been here already, right? They decided on meeting in here after she put Kitty in the dorm.

She looked up and scanned the room again but no Enya. Well, she could search more freely probably in this book without being interrogated by someone. Ha! Who was she kidding? Enya probably wouldn't notice what Louisa was doing. Heh. With a 'hmph' sound she sank back in that book.
