It’s a known fact that fire and paper isn’t a good combination. The library has therefore always featured a sparse number of torches on the walls to minimize the danger to the books. On test this year the torches have been replaced by enchanted firefly lamps. A good number of stained glass windows grace the walls at regular intervals where the room is connected to the outside wall of the castle to ensure that adequate light comes in. Stretching from floor to ceiling these windows depict famous witches and wizards from history, important historical events and beautifully detailed magical creatures.
Come sit down and relax in one the cushioned window seats. Read a book under the warm gaze of a healer or the roaring growl of a dragon. According to legend work gets completed faster if you sit in Rowena Ravenclaw’s window so why not try if there is any truth to it? The glass in the windows can’t be broken by spells or physical force but please be mindful and respectful of the beautiful artwork. Remember to keep your voice down since many people come to the library to study or get a moment or two of quiet.

"I think we could try looking in the section on animals, i'm sure there's a book on it. There's a book on everything in here! Honestly, it's a dream come true!" she said, as books really were her passion. She certainly belonged in Ravenclaw! "Research is always good. It can't hurt. Let's look for a little, and if we don't find something, i'm sure Professor will be able to help" she said with a hopeful smile.
Ella couldn't believe she had met another clumsy second year! Not that she thought she was the only clumsy person at Hogwarts, just maybe the only one who would admit it out loud. She was pleasantly surprised to hear that Morgan was a member of the clumsy club as well. "I'm SO clumsy too. I fall all the time. Up the stairs, down the stairs, over my shoelaces, even over a Gryffindor once." And she had nearly killed her. "I'm working on it though." Watching where she was going helped, a little.
Ella smiled, nodding. It wouldn't hurt to check out that section of the bookshelves and they might just stumble upon the perfect book! Plus, she wouldn't mind taking out another book on elephants. She quite enjoyed reading about them! "Alrighty, sounds like a plan. Shall we head to the bookshelves then?"

There. She had almost finished writing her notes about the potion as she heard Sarah mention something about DADA. Mhm. She liked that too. She still had the same opinion about almost all the classes since her first year. The only exception was Herbology. She started liking it. Gwendolyn Greene started linking Herbology. What was next? Astronomy? Naaah. She will probably never be able to understand what that was all about.
Truth be told, Gwendolyn had seen her friend--- were they friends now? Anyway, Gwen liked to consider Sarah as a friend.---looking at the piece of parchment she was holding, but she simply tried to cover the name of the potion discretely. Otherwise the girl would think she’s insane to even think of trying to brew that. Most likely… ‘Yes’, she said simply and then took back the book in her hands and started reading about the history of the potion. Not that it was necessary… but mehh.
‘Chaser?’, the fourth year repeated as she looked back at Sarah. ‘That’s interesting.’ If she would have tried out, that would have been the position she would have liked to play. Then she just listened to the girl talk about learning how to fly only at Hogwarts. Than it must be in the genes…, Gwendolyn told herself as she tried to avoid over thinking this and getting to remember all those things she had read about since last year. ‘Perhaps you are better than you think you are’, Gwendolyn heard herself saying. Because Sarah seemed the kind of person who was able to make it a bit better than just ‘without bruises’.
Then again, why was the Ravenclaw so nice? Eh, perhaps she had been sufficiently mean to certain people that day that it was enough? That sounded like a plausible explanation. And she was NOT becoming a Hufflepuff. Neverrr.‘Sure. So how about we go practice sometime next week?’
Sarah smiled at Gwen's words. Little encouragement won't go bad. Yes. She'd been flying all well, but to be on the team was different. "Thanks anyway" she mumbled, thinking about how it would be if she actually made it into the team. She came back to the library from the pitch at Gwen's question. Next week? "Yep. We could practice next week, provided it's free" she said. The tryouts were to be held right? "Should we get permission from house heads or anyone?" she asked Gwen. Not that I know of anything like that.
She saw Gwen write to almost the end of the page. "Are you done?" she asked, pointing the paper. "Well we can leave--" she paused, "--the librarian wouldn't want us talking" she smiled.
Louisa had a dozen of blank boards with her as she weaved her way through tables with books, tables with students, and tables with students holding books. She reached this end of the library where she could sit down next to her Rowena Ravenclaw window and work on her protest posters.
She laid them on the couch next to her and shifted sideways, lifting one leg and tucking it underneath her. Louisa then slipped off her bag and started taking out her work stuff and lying them on the couch beside the blank posters. Ink bottles, quills, small book for handy decorating spells and finally her wand.
With a hungry stare at the chaos work station, the girl buckled down on her drawing work. She needed to draw BOOKS. Lots of them.

Lewis had had this really weird dream last night. Or at least he assumed it had been a dream. He didn't know what else it could have been. He had woken up this morning and had just had this idea in his head...but no idea why or what to do with it. The idea was epic though which was probably also why he just couldn't stop thinking about it. It scared him too a little though since it WAS rather...unlike him. He couldn't really think of any reason why he would ever do something like that.
To both get his mind off it and get some of his homework done, Lewis had decided to spend the afternoon in the library. Where else? It was the perfect place to relax and it provided him with research material too. On his way through the library he had taken out his to-do list of homework assignments and had just started reading through it when...he stopped dead in his tracks, just staring down at the piece of parchment in his hands.
Huh.
That was weird.
They'd had History of Magic homework assignment already? He didn't remember writing that one down. Nor did he remember attending a lesson. Or maybe that was like the Ancient Runes assignment, that it was before the lesson. Yes that must be it. Looking back up from he just happened to find himself looking at the one of the windows. And somebody was sitting close to it. Somebody he knew. "Hi Louisa." With a smile on his lips, the Hufflepuff folded the parchment and took a couple of steps towards her.

And somebody was sitting close to it. Somebody he knew. "Hi Louisa." With a smile on his lips, the Hufflepuff folded the parchment and took a couple of steps towards her.
What was she doing?
Louisa's tongue was slightly stuck out from the corner of her mouth as she concentrated reeeeeeally hard on drawing the books... which was probably the only thing she had the patience to concentrate on drawing any ways. She had a few pararectangular shapes thrown here and there. The girls didn't lift her gaze off her work for a long time before someone greeted her.
She looked up at the boy and gave him a combo of soft-but-unfriendly stare, "Hi." Louisa watched him pocket a parchment and standing practically on top of her work station. There, they paid their social obligations and now they could go back each to his work. Louisa still didn't approve of him sitting next to Kurumi holding her hand and having this teddy-bear-love for her.
...
The boy didn't give any signs of moving away, though. She looked up at him again and lifted her eyebrows. "Lewis?" He could either go away and leaver her to finish her VERY serious protest or... do something other than standing on top of her head!
Lewis' smile faltered slighty at the stare he received in reply to his greeting. Was Louisa...mad at him or something? He tried to think back to the last time they'd met and bit his lip awkwardly. Right, that. And now that he got to think of it, she hadn't looked too happy about something in Alchemy class either. Only he wasn't quite sure why. Well, he did have a couple of possible reasons floating around in his head but he wasn't sure.
She hadn't SAID anything about it after all.
His thoughts had drifted off for a moment but were back on the now again when she said his name. "Yes?" Was something wrong? Lewis shifted his weight from one foot to the other, not quite sure what to do now. His eyes went back to the things surrounding her, narrowing a little once he realized what they were. Was she drawing something on boards? "What are you doing?" Oh, or hang on, did she want him to leave her alone? He wasn't quite sure why he wanted to stay anyway.
It was becoming more and more obvious that Louisa didn't want him here.
Louisa's eyebrows finally dropped down. However, her stare turned to a curious one, wasn't it obvious? She even had the ink bottles from class. "I'm working on the protest posters." Which probably wasn't going THAT good considering the fact that he didn't recognize the drawing as protest poster stuff. Daarrnnn. The girl pouted and squinted her eyes at the drawing...
... was it the shadows to the books? Louisa's head tilted to one side and then slowly to the other.
"Isn't it obvious that it's an angry protest poster?" She had the 'restricted section' etched quite stylishly somewhere on it too.
Speaking of which... "What are you protesting for?" Was he siding by his girlfriend and protesting for the observatory too? It was a pretty good cause, and if things weren't super awkward with Kurumi, Louisa might've joined it. However, opening the restricted section in the library for older students was more important and crucial before they left Hogwarts! So yeah... Louisa was pretty much doing this with ALL of her heart into it.
Lewis blinked at her a couple of times when she replied, finally looking just a tiny bit friendlier than a moment ago. "Protest posters?" He echoed, his brow furrowing in confusion a little. "Why are you..." Oh hang on. Wasn't that on his list? The Hufflepuff quickly reached for his to-do list again and skimmed through it, looking for something in particular. Oooh, here we go. "Is this for...is this for the History of Magic assignment?" At this he glanced back up at her, away from the list, before allowing his eyes to fall on the banners again.
Hopefully this was for a class assignment.
At her next question, Lewis took a couple of more steps towards her so he could get a better look at the banner she was drawing right now. "I-I don't know what an 'angry protest poster'-" He air-quoted the word, clearly referring to her own words. "-looks like." He took another step closer and cocked his head slightly to the side, his eyes still on the drawings. Probably not what she wanted to hear, right? He wasn't saying that the poster DIDN'T look like an angry protest poster, either, though.
What was he protesting for? "I...don't know yet." Lewis replied slowly, his smile now completely gone. Was he late at deciding on a topic? Chewing on his lower lip anxiously, he swallowed and looked back down at the piece of parchment in his hand. "I only just now saw that we had to do this assignment." It wasn't a really good excuse or anything but somehow his tone of voice was a bit defensively. "What are you protesting for then?" Were those...were those books on her poster?

Snoooort. Someone had been sleeping in class. "Yeah, do I sound like a rebel?" She scoffed and quickly regretted her rhetorical question. "Don't answer that." Raising her forefinger at him, not threateningly. When he stepped closer, Louisa lowered her hand and looked at the poster with him. Huh. He didn't know how that looked like. Well... no matter. "Okay. I'll take that as an opportunity to introduce our poster as an angry protest one." See the 'Merlin's sake' phrase? That indicated hot feelings.
Louisa's mouth formed a perfect 'O'. "You only saw the assignment now?" But... that wasn't.. right. A mischievous grin started to make an appearance on her face, "Huh. Someone had their mind drifting off a lot lately. Maybe thinking about someone?" Say.. a brand new cute girlfriend. Louisa snickered and shook her head, "Please don't answer that as well." She was getting used to Lewis by now. Giving him signs when to answer and when to not. It was a bit lame and ruining her sarcasm and teasing but... she didn't want him to rumble unnecessarily.
Oh and her snicker and amused attitude wasn't because of her approval to the said relationship. Nuh uh. She merely thought it was amusing to get your assignments mixed up because you had a new relationship going on.
Ahem.
Moving on to more important stuff. Louisa quickly pushed her stuff to give him a free spot, "Why don't you sit down for a while?" HEHEHE. She was going to try and get him into the library protest with Vickers and herself. "Me and another boy, who keeps calling me Prefect, are protesting for the restricted section in the library to get open for students already had taken their OWLs exams." Louisa stretched her arm and grabbed a ready poster for him to see. She placed it on his lap and went on, "Everyone knows that Hogwarts library is very extensive and valuable, not only in Britain but in the wizarding world as a whole." Hogwarts itself was so significant. "Don't you think it's unfair to stay seven years in this castle learning about magic and responsibility without getting the chance to go in there and explore the realms of rare, extravagant books?" Hmm?
A rebel? "I-" Lewis looked back down at the piece of parchment, confusion plastered on his face before meeting her gaze again. "I...don't know?" Where had that come from? Was it part of the assignment to 'sound like a rebel'? How did you do that though? Was there some kind of memo he didn't get? One with instructions as to how to look, sound and just BE a rebel? Oh and now she DIDN'T want him to answer the question after all? And she was also flailing her finger in his face. "Okay." Agreeing with her seemed like the right thing to do since she seemed to be the expert when it came to protests and rebels and everything.
This poster shall henceforth be considered the prototype of protest posters.
Uh-oh. He WAS late figuring out what he was protesting for, wasn't he? How had he missed that assignment up until now? And why did he not remember writing it down in the first place? Weird. "Thinking about someone" He started to repeat but trailed off towards the end when he got what she was talking about. Which made him blush. A lot. Was that really it? Had Kurumi caused him to forget about this homework assignment? Her snicker made him look back at her, frowning a little in confusion when she told him that he wasn't supposed to answer. Once again. Why was she asking him questions then if she didn't want answers?
Somehow Louisa always ended up confusing him. And not in a good way.
Feeling more awkward by the second, Lewis slowly started to rock back and forth on his heels a little, briefly considering just leaving her be again. Until she offered him a seat. Which he took with a small smile. Not even Louisa confusing him and throwing him unfriendly looks good damper his exceptionally good mood. Not too much anyway. "But you ARE a Prefect." HUH?! Why did she think it was important to add that he was calling her Prefect? What else would he be calling her? Oh, okay, maybe her name. But Prefect was good too. So Lewis didn't think this was too surprising or weird.
But something told him that it hadn't really been his position to speak right now so all he did when she went on was nod. Holding up the poster she had placed on his lap a little higher so he could get a closer look, he smiled a little. It was good. He liked the cause too. He had always been wondering what kinds of books were in the Restricted Section. But before Lewis got to think about this some more, Louisa had stopped talking and was now looking at him expectantly. Had her last sentence been a question? And she hadn't told him not to answer so he was probably supposed to. "Yeeees." Lewis replied slowly, stretching out the word a bit. He did agree with all she'd just said.

He did agree with all she'd just said.
Yes, she was a prefect but she was also LOUISA. Carter. And she liked to be noticed as her own character rather than her badge. Which was a very proud thing in the beginning... until it started sucking the attention off the girl's face. Ignoring his pointing out the obvious, Louisa was more keen on convincing him to join their protest now than arguing with him.
And he said the Y word! Louisa's face broke into a beaming grin and she clasped him on the back, "I rest my case, buddy." Okay, the 'buddy' word was a bit too much BUT it was for academical reasons only. The Ravenclaw started re-organizing her things on the couch with Lewis now taking this spot on it, she needed to continue make posters for tomorrow's plan with Vickers. "So, do you want to join us in our protest? Since you agreed on the main concept of opening up the Restricted Section and all?" She looked at him from under her eyelashed, a quill dropping ink was held in her hand. "We're starting tomorrow." So he really didn't have much time to think about it.
Once he confirmed, Louisa could tell him about their master plan of mobbing the professor's offices with posters... and maybe some mats.
Seeing Louisa grin made Lewis smile too, albeit a little hesitantly at first. Hadn't she just been busy giving him unfriendly looks? And now she was smiling and...and touching him?! Once again he was completely lost on how to interact with a friend so her sudden touch caught him a little by surprise. Though, she'd nudged him too some time back so this was probably normal? Yes? Was now the time to nudge her maybe? Before he got to do - or actually not do - that, she managed to suprise him even more. "Buddy...?" Was that the same thing as 'friend'? Also why was she resting her case? What was her 'case' anyway?
HE GOT TO JOIN THEM?!
"Yes!" It was now Lewis' turn to beam at her, turning in his seat to face her so suddenly that he almost hit her over the head with the sign she'd given him. "I mean...uhm...yes, I'd like that." AHEM! This time he was all cool and relaxed when he said that, trying hard to hide his excitement. He'd found a group and topic for this. Meaning he could maybe even finish this homework on time. "W-what do I need to do?" Okay, maybe he should have asked that BEFORE agreeing to join her and this other boy. What if they had really terrible plans to convince others of their cause and now he had to join them?
Okaaaaaaaay. Someone was desperate to get into a group. Heh heh. She really wouldn't have minded Lewis' enthusiasm if he hadn't ALMOST smacked her forehead with the sign she was holding. -__- Anyways...
SHE GOT ANOTHER PROTESTOR FOR THE CAUSE.
Vickers was going to be so excited! Louisa maintained her beaming grin and took a deep breath, she put her quill down and looked at the Hufflepuff, "We already have our posters slash signs, whatever you really want to call them," they were her humble hand work and everyone knew Louisa was better at writing than drawing and designing stuff, "We agreed on hanging them in almost every common area in the school, specifically the staff room, headmaster's waiting area and the professors' offices. Because you know, if you want your word to be count, you gotta go for the authority." And there were way too many authority in Hogwarts. "The Restricted Section at the library too.." duuh.
Louisa paused and looked at Lewis impressively, she really didn't think he had the sense to join such an academically important cause.
No offense.
"We're meeting at the library tomorrow to start our tour. You can either suggest another template for the signs... which I did in class in short time and poor equipments," yes she'd just called Scabior's ink bottles poor. "You can come up with any creative idea of how to draw attention to our signs since... I'm pretty sure everyone is going to simply hang them around." Louisa gave him an encouraging smile, "We can brainstorm today and then discuss whatever we came up with tomorrow when Vickers is around." See? She could be really helpful and nice when no one was hurting her friends or BETRAYING them.
Oh and by 'we' she didn't mean they had to do it now and together. There was a match for Quidditch today anyways and she wanted to take a nap before she went over there and pretended to care about who caught a small golden ball the most.
Sarah smiled at Gwen's words. Little encouragement won't go bad. Yes. She'd been flying all well, but to be on the team was different. "Thanks anyway" she mumbled, thinking about how it would be if she actually made it into the team. She came back to the library from the pitch at Gwen's question. Next week? "Yep. We could practice next week, provided it's free" she said. The tryouts were to be held right? "Should we get permission from house heads or anyone?" she asked Gwen. Not that I know of anything like that.
She saw Gwen write to almost the end of the page. "Are you done?" she asked, pointing the paper. "Well we can leave--" she paused, "--the librarian wouldn't want us talking" she smiled.
Gwen was still a bit hesitant about the whole idea of brewing that potion. This time, she was almost sure that she wouldn’t like anyone to come along and brew their own potion at the laboratory. Nope. Gwen would prefer not having anyone notice she would fail brewing it. But… who says she would fail at it? Maybe everything will turn out better than expected? Hmm?
‘Sure’, Gwendolyn finally said, giving another small nod. Oooh. Right. She had been thinking about that too. Did they need to ask permission to use the pitch? They would watch out and pay attention not to interfere with any team practice matches or anything. Then I guess it is all right to go there without permission? Isn’t Professor Vindictus busy, anyway?
‘Yes…’, the fourth year started saying as she wrote a few more words down. ‘Done’, Gwen beamed. There. All was left to do was to pay a visit to the potions laboratory. ‘Oh, right. I guess we could leave’, the girl mumbled. But she liked this place. It was quiet. And the other good thing was- Zeke and other annoying people weren’t there. Gwen looked out the window for a while and then drew her attention back towards Sarah.
Now she felt a bit sorry for being so absent minded until now, and that she hadn’t talked much. ‘Have you been to the magic free fun zone until now?’, she suddenly asked. The answer was probably yes… But...Meh. ‘Maybe we could go there…’, the fourth year suggested. She wasn’t very fond of muggles but that magic free fun zone was the place where she got a lot of ideas from. Like the event she started planning togeather with Tayla...
Okaaaaaaaay. Someone was desperate to get into a group. Heh heh. She really wouldn't have minded Lewis' enthusiasm if he hadn't ALMOST smacked her forehead with the sign she was holding. -__- Anyways...

Lewis listened to Louisa's plan cautiously, waiting for something that would tell him that joining her group had been a really bad idea. Only there wasn't one. At least not up until now. Hanging up posters didn't sound too bad. Somehow this whole thing reminded him of that girl Sylia he'd met last term. The one with the Hippogriff rights flyer. Huh. He hadn't seen her in a while now. She would definitely be helpful in all these protesting. If only they could find her somewhere, they'd definitely have lots of tips for how to protest most effectively.
He was pulled out of his little reverie when he accidentally dropped the sign he'd been passing back and forth from one hand to the other. Oops. When he looked back up from picking it up, he found Louisa looking at him, making him swallow. Did she expect him to say something to all of these plans? "Yes...?" He offered slowly, chewing on his lip and frowning slightly. Was that something she wanted to hear? Yes? Maybe he should have paid better attention to what she was talking about. He was very easily distracted lately, somehow. And this time it wasn't even because of Kurumi!
Oh and she was just going on talking about what she'd planned already. Lewis placed the sign back on his lap and reached into his bag for his planner. "Tomorrow?" Oh no, he couldn't do tomorrow. Or well, not until late afternoon anyway. "I-" That was when she said something else that made him forget all about their meeting for a moment. "Class...?" Had she been busy making these signs in class? How had she done that without the professor noticing? She really was talented, apparently. Not that that was a very good talent to have but it HAD come in useful in this case.
Lewis nodded slowly. "Yes...do you want to brainstorm now?" Because there still WAS that awesome idea floating around in his head and all. On the other hand, the Quidditch match was starting soon and he should probably get some of his other homework done until then. And who was Vickers? Was that the boy she'd mentioned earlier? What did he look like?
Lewis listened to Louisa's plan cautiously, waiting for something that would tell him that joining her group had been a really bad idea. Only there wasn't one. At least not up until now. Hanging up posters didn't sound too bad. Somehow this whole thing reminded him of that girl Sylia he'd met last term. The one with the Hippogriff rights flyer. Huh. He hadn't seen her in a while now. She would definitely be helpful in all these protesting. If only they could find her somewhere, they'd definitely have lots of tips for how to protest most effectively.
He was pulled out of his little reverie when he accidentally dropped the sign he'd been passing back and forth from one hand to the other. Oops. When he looked back up from picking it up, he found Louisa looking at him, making him swallow. Did she expect him to say something to all of these plans? "Yes...?" He offered slowly, chewing on his lip and frowning slightly. Was that something she wanted to hear? Yes? Maybe he should have paid better attention to what she was talking about. He was very easily distracted lately, somehow. And this time it wasn't even because of Kurumi!
Oh and she was just going on talking about what she'd planned already. Lewis placed the sign back on his lap and reached into his bag for his planner. "Tomorrow?" Oh no, he couldn't do tomorrow. Or well, not until late afternoon anyway. "I-" That was when she said something else that made him forget all about their meeting for a moment. "Class...?" Had she been busy making these signs in class? How had she done that without the professor noticing? She really was talented, apparently. Not that that was a very good talent to have but it HAD come in useful in this case.
Lewis nodded slowly. "Yes...do you want to brainstorm now?" Because there still WAS that awesome idea floating around in his head and all. On the other hand, the Quidditch match was starting soon and he should probably get some of his other homework done until then. And who was Vickers? Was that the boy she'd mentioned earlier? What did he look like?
Louisa's enthusiasm had to get subsided for now because Lewis practically asked her back at every single question, statement and sarcastic scoff she gave him. She looked at him, confused herself. It was... weird. Even for Lewis. "Are you... okay?" She put a hand on his forehead. He was hot... but not sickly hot. Huh. She dropped her hand and was staring into his eyes searching for any signs of lunacy.... maybe a small birdie floating inside his head? Heh heh heh heh.
Ahem. Bad joke.
Anyways, brainstorming now. Well... he was weird and excited. Good. "Well, I have no more ideas at the moment but if you have any, by all means just shoot them at me." She had her doubts about his sanity and discussing it together was a better idea. They could inform Vickers of their ideas when they meet at the library tomorrow... no problem.

Lewis tried hard not to jump too much in surprise when she suddenly put her hand on his forehead. Eyeing it, squinting a little in the process, he swallowed a couple of times, blushing slightly when he caught her looking at him weird. "I...err..." Was something wrong? "Yes..?" He leaned back a little to get some space between them when she finally dropped her hand again, blinking at Louisa quite rapidly. It wasn't exactly very often that girls touched his face just like that. Well, not recently anyway. Apart from Kurumi obviously.
WHAT had that been about?!
Running a hand through his hair, Lewis tried to get himself to concentrate on the task at hand again. Right. Brainstorming. "Well..." It WAS freaking him out a little that he'd just happened to dream about that thing last night and now here he was actually able to put the idea to good use. "I DID have an idea to attract attention..." He glanced around, suddenly slightly paranoid that somebody might overhear them talking. A professor maybe. THE professor even. "Here, let me..." He reached for an empty piece of paper and wrote down his idea before handing it to Louisa. "D-do you think we would get in trouble?" But then again, they WERE allowed to do whatever they wanted to for this assignment right? It wasn't like it would be permanent or anything.

Louisa gave up on him. She could cope with his confused expression and repeated answers of 'yes....?' and 'err....'. She just hoped it won't drive her crazy by the end of the day.
Watching him turn around in this sudden excited and guilty way stirred her curiosity and she looked around making sure no one was eavesdropping either. Then she almost leaned in expecting him to whisper, only he didn't. He picked a paper and started scribbling on it. Louisa raised her eyebrows and chuckled once very quietly. Seriously, what was so important about this--
Oh, he was finished soon. She took the paper, still chuckling at his act of secrecy and then read it. Once. Twice. And then she let out a loud laugh before quickly clasping one hand over her mouth and giggling. Merlin! And that fact that it was coming from Lewis even made it more laughable. She rested her forehead on his shoulder trying to stifle her laugh even more because they were in a LIBRARY. And the librarian already thought Louisa was irresponsible by forgetting about her badge earlier in Hogwarts Express station.
Louisa looked back up at him, giving him the paper back and grinning so widely, "Geez, Lewis. I didn't know you had it in ya." The naughty and bold part. Really. "I like the idea." Because it didn't only stand out from other ideas, it guaranteed her personal satisfaction toward.... the target. "Let's do this right after hitting the library tomorrow and meeting with Vickers." Hehehehehehehehe. She beamed up at Lewis... he earned her affection with this plan.
Oh! He asked about trouble. SCOOOFF. Louisa waved it off, "Scabior said we could do whatever we wanted without harming or destroying." She grinned again, "We're technically doing neither." Not that Louisa cared about the consequences that much any ways. Heh heh. She wanted satisfaction.

Vickers turned to the Library and casually made his way further in, wanting to take a good look at the Restricted Section for very valid reasons. On his way there he passed by the stained glass windows and spotted the Prefects, one of them his own. "Hey there Louisa!" he greeted her and nodded at the Hufflepuff Prefect "Hello." he greeted the lad politely.

"Hey there Louisa!" he greeted her and nodded at the Hufflepuff Prefect "Hello." he greeted the lad politely.
.... Louisa's head turned toward the source of voice and --"OH! Vickers!" Oops, too loud. She waved for him excitedly to join them on the couch, pushing all the empty posters and boards to the floor. He probably needed to sit down for this. "Hey, how're ya doing.." she spoke quickly, doing the usual before taking a dramatic pose and beaming at the Ravenclaw, "Guess what? Lewis here.." she gestured with her right hand, "..wants to join us in our protest for History of Magic assignment." Tadaaaaaaa.
She glanced between the two boys, observing their face expressions. Not that they get time to talk or express their feelings because Louisa was so eager to get to the next more EXCITING part of the news. "And! We were just brainstorming about tomorrow and Lewis suggested this very effective and.." devilish "..cool plan to get attention for our cause." Cue another chuckle from her.
Louisa started looking around her, patting the empty space on the couch for the paper that held their super secret plan... she was sure it was lying around... maybe in her enthusias- "Ha! Here.." she grabbed the paper and passed it to Vickers. A big grin was on her face as she stared at his face... waiting for his reaction.
... was she the only one dying to do this to the... target?

He was about to say that he was about to head to the Restricted Section when Louisa said they had a new recruit. Eyes shifted back to the Huffflepuff Prefect then extended his hand after the introduction "Good to meet you Lewis. I'm Vincenzo Vanderbilt... well Vickers." he said, angling his head back at the Ravenclaw Prefect who knew his nickname.
He took the paper handed to him and blinked. "Seriously?" he blurted out, eyes going from Louisa then to Lewis, then back at the paper. Slowly, a devious grin tucked at the corner of his lips. If that was the intended target, and he had TWO Prefects to help carry this through, well who could blame a lowly 'ol Ravenclaw transfer from tagging along for the ride right?
"I'm in."

Sophie had never stopped to contemplate them. She calmly walked towards the Helga Hufflepuff window and sat down on the cushion seat. Smiling up at the cool window, the young badger placed her bag next to her and waited.

Nope. Gwen would prefer not having anyone notice she would fail brewing it. But… who says she would fail at it? Maybe everything will turn out better than expected? Hmm?
‘Sure’, Gwendolyn finally said, giving another small nod. Oooh. Right. She had been thinking about that too. Did they need to ask permission to use the pitch? They would watch out and pay attention not to interfere with any team practice matches or anything. Then I guess it is all right to go there without permission? Isn’t Professor Vindictus busy, anyway?
‘Yes…’, the fourth year started saying as she wrote a few more words down. ‘Done’, Gwen beamed. There. All was left to do was to pay a visit to the potions laboratory. ‘Oh, right. I guess we could leave’, the girl mumbled. But she liked this place. It was quiet. And the other good thing was- Zeke and other annoying people weren’t there. Gwen looked out the window for a while and then drew her attention back towards Sarah.
Now she felt a bit sorry for being so absent minded until now, and that she hadn’t talked much. ‘Have you been to the magic free fun zone until now?’, she suddenly asked. The answer was probably yes… But...Meh. ‘Maybe we could go there…’, the fourth year suggested. She wasn’t very fond of muggles but that magic free fun zone was the place where she got a lot of ideas from. Like the event she started planning togeather with Tayla...
Sarah nodded in response. Yeah, that zone. "I did go there on the opening day.." she said. "There was a muggle movie show, and I'd seen it several times" she sighed. But going there again was a good idea. Maybe she changed the show? Some new movies? "OK. Let's go there, if it's still open" she wasn't sure of it. Sarah gave a little smile to her friend.
Sophie had never stopped to contemplate them. She calmly walked towards the Helga Hufflepuff window and sat down on the cushion seat. Smiling up at the cool window, the young badger placed her bag next to her and waited.
What a lovely place to be!
Glenn walked into the library with the intent to return a library book she had taken out a while ago, it was verging on overdue. She slipped it in the returning pile and surveyed the rest of the room.
Ooh look, Sophie.
The blonde made her way over to her friend, dumped her bag on the ground and sat on a dusty old chair in front of her founder's window. Heh, she was sitting on a chair while Sophie was still on the ground!
Glenn whispered, "Ha! I have the chair!" She laughed and pulle dout some parchment. "We better start on our work." Oh, what about their letters to Treyen! "And Mr-Head-Boy's letteres, better get started on them too."
Louisa gave up on him. She could cope with his confused expression and repeated answers of 'yes....?' and 'err....'. She just hoped it won't drive her crazy by the end of the day.

Would she think it was a weird idea? Lewis himself wasn't quite sure what to make of it and the more he thought about the more he doubted that showing it to LOUISA wasn't exactly a very good idea. It was too late now though. So all he could do was sit here and wait. Wait for some kind of reaction from her.
And a reaction he got.
The way she suddenly started to giggle made him absolutely CERTAIN that it had been a bad idea. Absolutely certain. Why else would she be laughing? The idea wasn't funny. If anything it was dangerous. Frowning at her, Lewis wanted to put her hands over her mouth himself so she would stop laughing so much. They were in a library after all. You weren't allowed to laugh in libraries. He was sure that was in the rules somewhere. Also you weren't allowed to laugh at ideas Lewis was having. THAT should be in the rules too.
Lewis was slowly getting used to Louisa, with her sudden urges to touch him and stuff. Still when she put her head on his shoulder, he still blushed a little, completely at a loss of what to think of that. Luckily for him she soon pulled back again but was still grinning as if he'd given her an early Christmas gift. "Uhm..." She LIKED the idea? Really? That sort of made him dislike it. It couldn't be that great or safe if she was so enthusiastic about it. Still, somehow he was pretty sure there was nothing he could do to get out of that one.
Unless he pretended he was sick or something...

Before he got to think about this anymore, somebody else joined them. A Ravenclaw he'd seen around Kurumi. Oooh, so THAT was Vickers, their other 'protest-buddy'. "Hello. Nice to meet you, too." Lewis replied with a small smile as he shook the other boy's offered hand. Hey, now, he looked sensible, maybe he would realize that this idea was just-
Or not.
Lewis groaned inwardly when Vickers also seemed extremely enthusiastic about this whole thing. Brilliant, now he really had no way out. "Okay...yes...that's great." Let's just pretend he actually sounded like he was looking forward to this. Before, he'd been thinking that this whole thing could actually work, but now with two people telling him how AWESOME it was, he was slowly starting to get his doubts. Which was probably kind of ironic but you know. He was different.
