Zhenya came to the book club meeting, excited, and saw that they were going to be sitting in those bean bags that were SO comfortable! She had a muggle book that her mother had read to her as a child, called The Ugly Duckling. She used to think that her mother was trying to tell HER she was ugly but she loved her anyway, but it wasn't until she was older she realised what the book meant.

She said "Hello Sir," to the good looking Librarian, before sitting down and fidgeting with her hands a bit. She felt relaxed despite having confessed her deepest secret to him earlier. It must just be the relaxing effet of the library.

Taking out a small card she wrote her name on it;

She headed of to the book club in the library. She was told to bring her favourite muggle childhood book. That was so easy. Pippi Longstocking! By Astrid Lindgren! Anyone knew who she was? Probably not. But she was the greatest book writer until her death a long time ago. The book was really old it was made in 1945 but her family was lucky enough to have an original copy. She used to read the book everyday since she loved it so much until the copy fell to pieces due to excessive reading. It was her fault for the excessive reading though.

She walked into the room and sat down on the biggest bean bag. She needed the biggest because she was awesome. Oooh! There were candy! She immediately went for them and then sat back to the bean bag. The candy was really tasty and something to get back in her fun life of eating candy excessive. It wasn't her fault though. There was just candy everywhere she went.

"Hello Sir!" she greeted the librarian. And then got a name card and wrote on it.

Clutching her copy of The Little Wizard That Could, Emmanuelle inched her way into the room. They hadn't had these type of things back at her old school and she was slightly nervous about it. In fact, nobody even knew that she secretly loved reading. So this would be the first time that side of herself would be displayed. No wonders she was nervous. Seeing that the meeting area had been made to be rather inviting, Emmanuelle relaxed a bit. Spotting who she assumed was the librarian sitting on his own bean bag already, she greeted him. "Hello, sir." She chose a light blue bean bag and sat, starring at the center of the circle. Or more specifically, the candy bowl. She was hesitant to take a piece, though (after all, they were still in the library) and instead took one of the cards and wrote her name on it.

Sophie entered the library with one of her favorite childhood books in her hands and a smile on her face. This Book Club thing sounded really fun! And her dad would be happy to hear that she joined something like that.

The book she had chosen was 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'. A muggle book, yes. Her dad used to read a lot of those for her. The story was nice and the drawings were cute! That made a good book, in Sophie's opinion.

She looked around at the few people that were already there. "Hello, mister!" She said to the new librarian. She still didn't know his name, so 'mister' should be polite enough! Heh! Spotting Zhenya, her smile widened and she made her way to sit on one of the beautiful bean bags next to the girl she had met over the summer. "Hi, Zhenya!" She said waving. She looked around once again at the colorful bean bags. She really liked them!

Grabbing one of the name cards, Sophie pulled a quill out of her bag and wrote a few things down.

Johnathan entered the library and quietly walked towards where the book meeting was being held. He found an empty bean bag to sit on, he placed his copy of the book Pliggly Wiggly The Tale Of The Lonely Plimpy on the side. His mother would always read him that book when he was a child and his father went missing at sea, it helped him believe that anybody could find their way back home. No matter how far or close the distance may be. Even 'til to this day he still keeps that book close for whenever he starts feeling a bit homesick.

He reached to the middle of the circle, he grabbed a name card and began to write down his name down:

Zhenya looked up as she heard her name and saw Sophie! "Hey! How are you? Oh what book did you bring?" she whispered.

She knew a lot of muggle books because of her mother being a muggle primary school teacher, but she didn't know many, unlike a lot of people here.

Alyssa entered the library carrying her favorite storybook of all time. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It was a very old fairy tale but Alyssa still loved it all the same. She saw that some of the students had already formed a small circle and noticed that Mr. Kitridge was already there. So she quietly walked up and greeted him, "Hello Mr. Kitridge" before sitting down in one of the bean bags and grabbing a name card and writing on it.

Once she was done, she leaned over and whispered to the older boy sitting next to her,"Hi Johnathan. I'm surprised to see you here."

John smiled and whispered back "I thought this might be fun, trying somethin' new" he whispered as he skimmed through the pages of his book, and couldn't help smiling.

Alyssa took a peek at the book he was holding in his hand. "That looks like a very interesting book. I don't think I've read that one. Maybe I could borrow it sometime?" Alyssa whispered back, while keeping an eye on Mr. Kitridge.

Stepping into the library, Nora spotted the bean bags and sat somewhere closer to the librarian she didn't quite recognize, and placed the book she brought and the several pieces of parchment on her lap. Since there wasn't much to bring, she didn't bring a bag anymore. She knew it wasn't creative, but her favourite childhood book was Tales of Beedle the Bard.

Taking a smaller piece of parchment, she quickly scribbled her name on it.

Mika made her way into the bookclub meeting area - she loved the smell of the books in the room. And really her favorite book was probably MUCH older than most of the people in this rooms books combine and then multiplied by a zillion and one.

Well to be honest what she was lugging was a leather bound collection of books - multiple books a series really. BUT it was her favorite child hood story none the less. With a THUMP she put down the complete collection and just smiled. She was glad she didn't have to walk too far to get to the library.

"Hello" She smiled excitedly at everyone. Pointing at her name tag she spoke. "I'm Amelia - you can all call me Mika" she smiled yet again. She was just exciteable today.

Kennedy didn't feel like dragging himself out of bed today, but he got an owl at his window with a note from John telling him to get his butt up and ready. He was such a Gryffindor, but then he was extremely thankful to have a friend like him. John gave him that extra little push he needed.

The Prefect entered the library with a book in hand. It was old and it's spine was worn out from years of use. The way he held it showed a bit of the title which was; The Boy Who Lost His Teddy. He held it to his chest. It still provided comfort.

He spotted two familiar faces and walked toward them. He didn't want to be all lonely right now. So, when he got there he sat in the middle of John and Alyssa almost in zombie mode. "Hi." Was all he said as he wrote his name down.

Zombie.

John smiled and nodded at his friend and gave him a pat on the back. Wow! he made it on time, John was about ready drag him here himself. He looked at Ken's book and smiled "Wad'up" he whispered, as he greeted him.

Derrick loved to read but he was afraid to show it.He decided to head to a Book Club meeting.He headed down to the Library with his favourite childhood book.''Hello Sir.''He said smiling.

Ella walked into the library and happily spotted a group of people sitting on beanbags, cool! Looking around, she spotted a green one and plopped down on to it happily, holding her book close to her chest. The copy of Where the Wild Things Are was raggedy at best, its pages yellowed and delicate and its binding having been repaired numerous times. This muggle story had been passed down through Ella's mother's family for ages and now it was hers. She couldn't wait to share it.

Spotting the candy, Ella's eyes lit up but she would wait a while before she dove in. Self control, Ella. Self control. Deciding instead to greet the group, she put on a bright smile. "Hello everyone, I'm Ella!" Though she did know several people here. Like Sophie and Alyssa! They each got a little wave as well.

Louisa almost danced into the classroom. THIS WAS MUCH MORE FUNNER THAN DUELING CLUB. And she was proud that she lived to see an official book club in Hogwarts. "Hello, sir." She waved at him enthusiastically and headed for one of the bouncy chairs and plopped down on it with a book hugged to her chest.

Nerida bounded into the Library, she couldnt wait, BOOKCLUB! Her favorite club, much better than dueling club in her opinion! She said Hello Sir to the librarian and picked up a name tag and filled it out and walked where everyone was. Holding her book, Love You Forever gently in her hands!

Book club meeting.

Jonathan was not really into reading books but somehow with what just happened, he decided to give himself a hobby that he can try liking. So it's probably nice to dwell into books while he has nothing else to do. Most people are addicted to reading books. In fact, he can name 5 people already.

So he will just have to see how fun this should be. He entered the room to see that a few people has showed up. Which is more relaxing on his part. Jonathan's already liking the serenity of all of this. Plus, he has seen his mother's little book love with her tea friends and it definitely looked fun even he couldn't understand them half of the time when he decides to sit down and just listen to them from across.

Finding himself a seat, he saw the new librarian and greeted "hello sir" giving him a small nod and took a seat to one of the comfy chairs.

Sarah strode dreamily into the library, her hair tied loosely in a bun and bag slung casually over her shoulder. The library has always been one of her favourite spot at Hogwarts. Good to be here so soon. she thought, And Book Club! Now that is something cool.

"Morning sir" she said, when she spotted the librarian sitting casually on a bean bag. There were lots of others in various colors. Fancy. Flashy. She saw a couple of students there. She saw a large bowl of candies and a stack of writing cards. Oh good, food in the library! Sarah grabbed a card and a handful of candies. She chose a green coloured bean bag and sat down on it. She brought out her quill and wrote on the card.



She took out her favourite book from her bag and placed it on her lap. Why would her ask for a book? Are we supposed to explain? She had brought along a muggle book, Kane and Abel. It dated long back in 1979 written by some guy, Jeffrey Archer said the cover. It was her mother's favourite book, one of her own favourite too. Knowing Sarah's passion for reading, her uncle had stacked shelves of books in their villa. All muggle, for that's what he knew. Until she came to Hogwarts, she hadn't seen of any magical books, though she knew about the magical world. Her father didn't leave any evidence of magic in their house. She'd read this book, again and again, the lines etched in her heart. Once for her mother, once for her, once when bored... And you get the idea.

She thought about the childhood days. It was good. She opened the book and looked at her mother's name on the top corner. Gabrielle Fitzgerald. She missed. Sarah closed the book in a flash and waited calmly for the meeting to commence.

Sarah watched as a girl walked into the library. The girl also chose a green bean bag and brought out a book. Sarah tried to read the name on the cover, something Wild. The girl called out loudly, and Sarah decided to talk to her.

"Hey Ella" she called and waved to the girl.

Kurumi really wasn't sure what had made her decide to come down to the book club meeting, other than her obvious love of literature, due to the fact that she hardly left the dorms anymore. Even when she was hungry, Selina had brought her food from the Great Hall and had only managed to make Kurumi go down there a small handful of times on her own. So...besides classes and prefect duties she just could not ignore...Kurumi just wasn't visible in the school - a very start contrast from previous terms.

Clutching her favorite childhood book that she had had her father owl her, Shibawanko's spirit of "Wa", Kurumi entered the room and her eyes fell on the librarian first. "Good day, sir," she said with as pleasant a smile as she could muster - which was till very half hearted. "That is a very lovely salmon color." She pointed to his beanbag chair. It reminded her of sashimi anyway.

Um....right....

Kurumi promptly took her own seat in a purple beanbag chair and began to idly play with the necklace that she still wore around her neck - the one she may never be ready to take off. Sighing mostly to herself, Kurumi thought about opening up the book to look at the pictures when her eyes fell on something else...or rather someone.

Sitting directly across from her...was Jonathan. Kurumi could almost hear her heart breaking by just looking at him and the lump in her throat was back. She wanted to speak to him. Reached out to him. Touch him. Even though several weeks had past, she could still feel his warmth on the tips of her fingers from when she had tried to grab his hand to stop him from walking away... and now he was right here. And still out of reach.

Kurumi bit down on her lower lip and her cheeks flushed as her still brown eyes secretly searched for his....but knowing that he probably wouldn't give her a second glance. That might be what hurt the most. After a few moments, Kurumi looked down at the ground and simply sat there as her heart began to race like a hummingbird's wings.

Kurumi completely forgot about writing her own name card....she forgot about everything else the moment she saw who was sitting across from her.

Angie walk in the library and made herself a name tag.Hello Sir how are you she asked.She took out her book Little Women.Hello Everyone she said with a smile.

Sarah saw Kurumi come into the library, looking drawn and tired. She is like that for quite some days. Sarah still remember how Kurumi had tried to bring her out of shyness, in her first year. But it's still there in you.

"Hello Kurumi" she called and got up to go near her.

Minerva walked into the book club. She was so excited that there was a book club this year. She held her Bailey School house book Wizards don't Wear graduation Gowns in her hands tightly. She had loved the book when her mom got it for her and that was even before she knew of this wonderful life. She laughed thinking about the title, but it was her favorite book. "Hello everyone" she greeted the group already sitting and waiting for it to start.

Minerva found a place to sit and sunk down in the bean bag, she almost fell over. Why were bean bags so hard to sit in, she thought. Maybe she was the only one that felt that way, but she had always struggled in and then out of them. She looked around to see some familiar faces and waved at a few friends, she couldn't wait to get started.

Hello My name Is Angie She smiled.So do you know Harvey she smiled.Hes a good freind of mine.
