Ella ticked them off in her head. 'Meditation, and my daily stretching and trying to touch my toes.' The backs of her legs tingled just thinking about it. Bad times..

"So is Amy short for anything?" *Finally finishing up his Runes work he set the book down and turned to talk to her properly. Amy was a name as well but he had a feeling that she had a longer name.*

"Ohh, I still don't get what on earth meditation is." Zara said and chuckled a bit as she began putting her stuff inside her bag, preparing to leave the library.

Unfortunatley Amy grinned, Amelia, she shuddered, Amelia Mae, she shruggered (half shrug half shudder) she nodded, quickly scribbiling down the notes on Sphinxs and the image of it. Rosie the sphinx...scary as.

"That's a lovely name. People have at least heard of the name Amelia." *Matty had lost count of how many times peopled had said Huh... I've never heard of that name before. He thought that it was biblical or something.*

Sorry it's been sooo long..
 

"Haha, I hope not! By the way, do you understand the Arithmancy homework at all?" Emmy asked her friend, hoping that someone else at least understood what they were supposed to do.

Aww thank you Amy grinned, I still hate it though, at least Matthias is unique, I know loads of Amelias, she pouted, Matthias, it sounded...foreign. Good foreign, she liked foreign, it was exotic, is Matthias french? She asked

"No idea, my family is all from Sweden but I doubt that it's from there."
*Matty would have to ask his uncle if he knew where his name came from. Either way he never really thought on his name to much. It was just a name, that's it.*

I so totally missed your post *kicks myself*
 

Alex frowned at Chandler, that smile wasn't fooling anyone and least of all Alex. He knew him too well to know that Chandler was just smiling to cover something. He was reading something that he didn't want anyone to see? SUSPICIOUS! And just like that Alex went from curious to extrrremely curious. "That made no sense." he stated. Why would there be a book in the library that Chandler didn't want anyone to see? What was that boy hiding?

It was just a book, fine! Then they would talk about it like it was just a book. "Ah, I see. What is it about?" he asked. Spill, Montague. Spill.

"Err, I'm good." he said in an even tone. It sounded a little boring but he really didn't have anything else to say. He was good, fine and okay. Nothing more and nothing less. "How are you? How's things with Kai?" he asked. Starrrrting a conversation.

Eino entered the library carrying his favorite book under his arm: Ovid's Metamorphoses. He had three version: one was in English, the other in Finnish, and the final was in Latin. He liked to alternate between the different versions so he could enhance his Finnish and Latin vocabulary by comparing it to the English version, since that was the only one he could read from cover to cover. He hummed as he walked in and then took a seat in one of the armchairs, crossed his legs and opened the book where he had left off. He had also brought some Bertie Bott's every flavor beans but he was worried they were prohibited in the library so he kept them hidden in his pocked.

Arabella-Marie enetered the library reading lounge and saw ravenclaw around the same age as her reading a book and went over to him and said "Hey mind if i join you?"

What a curious request! Did she mean to read the same book or did she mean to share his seat? Eino surely didn't mind either of those things, he supposed so, but he wasn't exactly sure of what join would be. "I suppose not..." He said embarrassingly. "I'm Eino." Well, she knew he was a Ravenclaw because of his uniform so what else would he say? "Oh, and a second year." After that he tried scooting over to make place for her to seat, but the armchairs were single seats and that just wasn't going to do, but there were empty ones around him. He smiled. "What's your name?"

Arabella-Marie smiled and said "I am Arabella and you are?" Arabella wanted more friends but she needed to be less shy around people

"Arabella..." He muttered it a few times trying to remember it. Then looked up back at her "I'm Eino." Maybe she hadn't heard him the first time. "What year are you?" She didn't look much older than him, but she seemed shy, maybe she was a new student? "I'm a third year, but I wasn't around much last year since I got attacked by a bear during Christmas break and had to stay home during my recovery." He shrugged when he finished. He didn't feel like he needed that long to recover but the grown ups did and they always knew best, so.

Arabella-Marie smiled at Eino and said "I am a third year also Eino and i missed the tail end of the term cause i had to go home and look after my sick mum"

"Oh..." Eino was listening curiously until she mentioned her mother was ill. "I am sorry to hear that. How did she become sick?" And just like that his curiosity returned. "Was she burned by a dragon? Attacked by a troll? Bitten by a vampire?" His eyes widened as he tried to guess the most awesome ways, to him at least, that one could get sick. "Is she okay now?" All of those incidents he listed weren't very difficult to recover from, unless she had turned it was too late and by the time they had found her mother she was already a vampire. "I almost got bit by a bat once... Well, I wanted it to but it didn't bite me." He wanted to be able to transform into a bat and thought that being bitten by one would allow him to. He read that... somewhere.

Arabella-Marie shrugged and said "No idea she is still not that great but my dad has taken time out of his work to take care of her and she could have been bitten by something while she was away with work she works abroad a lot"

"Has she gone to St. Mungo's Hospital?" That would be the best place to start, at least to get a full diagnosis. Although, Eino wouldn't mind playing doctor and diagnose her, but he probably wouldn't be much help. "Is she pale?" That would be a sign of a vampire transformation, right? He had heard they were pale. "Does she thirst for blood?" Vampires like that, he supposed, so it would make since if she did too. "Or perhaps she was bitten by a poisonous animal!" In which case, that would be fun too.

Arabella-Marie thought and said "She is not pale and she doesnt thirst for blood and she could have been bitten by a poisonous animal i will owl my father and ask him to take my mum to St.Mungo's cause she is not 100 percent better but i would be less worried if she was properly disgonised"

"I see, I see..." Eino said crossing his arms and pursing his lips. Okay, so maybe she wasn't turning into a vampire, sadly, but she could still be turning into something. He was playing into this doctor game way too much, and it wasn't a game for Arabella and her mom after all, he just enjoyed role-playing. "I hope it turns out not to be anything too serious. I'm sure they will be able to restore her to full health in no time!"

Arabella-Marie smiled and said "Thanks Eino i am hoping so as well, so what is it that your reading Eino"

Eino returned the smile, even though his was a forced, ugly, weird smile. He was a bad smiler. "It's Metamorphoses!" He closed the book and showed her the cover. "It's a book about myths! It's quite good, you know, some people believe it to be true and others don't. I'm not sure what I believe, but the stories are simply delightful!" He could go on and on talking about this book, he had read it so many times. "What are you doing here? Came to read a book, too?" He supposed so, or maybe she was on her way to check out a book?

Arabella-Marie smiled and said "Yeah i am here to read a book i have just yet to find a book that i want to read"

"Oh, perhaps you should ask the librarian for recommendations!" She ought to know every single book in the library, right? She must know of a book that would be compatible with Arabella's interests. "Better yet! You can read all of the books in the library!" That would take a great amount of time, but she would be the most intelligent person in the world, possibly!

Arabella-Marie grinned at Eino and said "Hmm i could read all the books in the library i mean i love reading and plus i don't think i have read many of the books in the library"
