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 On test this year the torches have been replaced by enchanted firefly lamps.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 or at least that is what you should see.

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.

"...You did say that." She nodded at him slowly, a small frown in place. The sketch she'd been meticulously working just moments before lay forgotten in her lap. Clearly, she hadn't anticipated this question...but rolling with it, she was.

Her blush was inevitable, too. "If you think that's what's best, I trust you.".....and because it needed to be made clear, Ves added, "Nothing ridiculous and lovey-dovey, though. I won't be able to take you seriously."

Mhm. Back to inspecting her sketch...and trying to make the blush....diminish somewhat.

"I happen to like big gestures, Ves." What was wrong with that? West smiled a bit. He'd always tried with Alice but her reactions hadn't always been encouraging.

"But it won't be Puddifoots, I got banned over the summer." So, shrug. "Three Broomsticks seems best? What do you think? Where would you like to go?"

Vesper fought the urge to hide behind her notebook. Her face was bright red, correct? It felt like it. "Let's just keep in mind that I'm new to it. Be gentle at first." Start with smaller gestures...and work your way up...

...Kinda like how he was insisting with this other.

...Also, that earned West a laugh. She recalled that story from...beforehand. "Somewhere that I won't get be mobbed by your fangirls?"...or Alice.. Guh, that was a pessimistic thought and very unlike her, Ves knew...She edited herself. "I'd much rather be surprised, to be honest...Plan something and I promise to be open-minded."

Of course, that was easy enough to say...He'd been banned from the one place she did not want to go.

Shrug.

"This whole... thing, its about you Ves. I can do a surprise, easily. I mean... I just want to make sure you have fun." And that he delivered on their arrangement as best he could? Even if he couldn't... deliver on their arrangement.

"I just... you're saying yes because you want to and not because you feel sorry for me... right?" Just checking. His confidence was kinda off lately.

...

"When you say it like that, it makes it seem like there's nothing in it for you." Wasn't there, though? Or was West really just doing this because he cared about his friends that much and would give in to their ridiculous whims? Vesper decided it was best not to ask...as she most likely wouldn't appreciate the answer. "I don't want it to be just about me, if...that's okay."

...and that question took her more off guard than the previous. So much so, in fact, that she immediately reached for his hand, squeezing it. "West, give yourself the appropriate credit here. I want to." Oh, there it was. That familiar surge of white!hot anger for people that made him feel like he wasn't good enough.

Anyway. "I'd really dig a surprise. In fact, go nuts. Whatever you want to do..."...and Ves would force herself to be okay with it. West clearly needed someone to appreciate his effort for a night.

Good news was the blush had faded...somewhat.

"That's crazy." He dismissed that fear. Obviously Ves was completely worthwhile, it was just that until she'd approached him... he'd not really thought about things. Why would he? His head was so mired in everything that was Alice, there hadn't been space to... sigh. The point was he was trying to make an active effort of trying not to...

.. he needed to stop thinking of Alice. Needed to. It was still tearing him up. "Not just about you then." He agreed quietly. It was just that he wanted to make sure he did it all right for her. Even if their reasons were different, that was still true.

West looked at their hands and nodded. Okay. Well good. She wanted to.

A surprise. Fine.

He'd start now then. West leaned forward and kissed her, catching her chin with his free hand, tasting her lips and gently biting the bottom one before pulling back. He gave her a crooked little smile.

"Surprise."

...and her face had been doing so well.

The pink tinge was receding...but then West did something and it flared to life again. Well, to be honest, he wasn't really doing anything out of the ordinary. Simply renouncing her statement and agreeing with her. Not that big a deal...but the way West was doing it...

Maybe that's why the kiss truly had surprised her.

...

Her breath hitched when he leaned forward...and then she was gasping lightly with him biting her bottom lip, fingers on her chin. It was unexpected and because it was unexpected, she couldn't fully enjoy what was happening. A shame, in hindsight.

...but before it had really started, West was pulling away.

STARE.

".......So, you're......okay with this being public?" Vesper struggled with appropriate questions and words after kisses. She didn't know what to think at the moment.

".......So, you're......okay with this being public?" Vesper struggled with appropriate questions and words after kisses. She didn't know what to think at the moment.

Heels clicked into the library area followed by a stern clearing of the throat by Professor Bellaire. She followed her arms and scowled at the two.

"I however am not okay with this being public." Whatever the this was. They were too close in fact. "Three feet apart is appropriate for everyday conversation Mr. Odessa and Ms. Bayliss. If I need to tell you again, you'll spend the next few hours in Lovers lair glued inappropriately to a slimy wall." And she meant it.

TeafortheSoul · 05-21-2014, 11:21 PM

It wouldn't exactly be public... it wasn't like they were going to be a couple, it was just... going on a date. They hung out all the time. People wouldn't even really know unless she sang it from the rooftops or something. Not that he minded people knowing, it was just... there wasn't something to know. He was trying to get over Alice. And people wouldn't know what Ves had asked him anyway so... there wasn't anything to be public about in his eyes.

He didn't have much opportunity to answer with his thoughts on being 'public' however, because they were interrupted.

... man. If it had been the poo!fish librarian he'd be able to talk his way out of it easily, but Bellaire was as Slytherin as he was so he knew that wouldn't work.

He straightened up. "Yes ma'am." Three feet was really bloody far though. He was rarely even that far away from Theo when they hung out.

........ but what about every other day conversation? West kept his mouth shut, not Gryffindor enough to put that question out there. Better to ask forgiveness than permission.

Govoni · 05-22-2014, 04:38 AM

The really awful thing about being in open spaces was the opportunity for others to interrupt. Vesper wanted an answer to her question...A question that she hoped hadn't been misconstrued. By 'being public', she'd simply meant them being seen together out and about in the date setting. No, it wouldn't be obvious that's what it was...but did West plan to kiss her again? Well, it'd be a terrible shame if he didn't, really....but, again, would it be where others could see? In those regards, Ves didn't care...but that's why she'd asked. So, she could know his opinion and everything. He wasn't a novice to speculation and rumors, but she was.

Also, the Ravenclaw needed to overthink the mess out of it, okay? It wasn't her fault.

Anyway, the look on his face told her that West had a lot to say...but as luck would have it, that 'awful thing' about open spaces seemed to become real life.

An interruption. From a professor. A Slytherin professor, at that.

Blushing at professor Bellaire's tone of voice and mini!speech, she backed away from West, dropping his hand as he straightened up. "Yes, professor."

As if to prove to the older woman that they were apologetic and all, Ves retook her space on the cushioned window set and resumed her sketch. Mind, her hands were a bit shakier than before....but the distraction would work wonders. Maybe.

Professor Bellaire's folded arms fell to her sides and her eyes narrowed a bit as if she was trying to see through them or read their minds. Well they really ought not to be too shocked if she did that actually.

Satisfied, she turned on her heels and headed towards Leo's office.

TeafortheSoul · 05-22-2014, 11:38 AM

Aaaand she was gone. Close call maybe? Once he was sure that Bellaire was gone and not about to haul them off to punish them, West shot a conspiratorial grin at Ves. "I guess that's my queue to go about my business, huh?"

As opposed to sticking around here and risking getting in more trouble.

Govoni · 05-22-2014, 12:53 PM

Vesper, attempting to carry on with her artwork, cut her eyes towards where the woman had disappeared to. That had been terrifying...

Sorta.

"Unless you're into being glued to a wall..." Was that an implication in her tone? Maybe...Ves herself didn't know what these Slytherins fancied. She was curious and wanted to, though.... "...If you aren't that worried about self-preservation...Up to you."

Maybe he'd sit still and let her draw him...

If it was Alice probably he'd not have given a crap about risking detention, like her Gryffindor nature rubbed off on him or something like that, but as it was he shrugged.

"Self-preservation is a thing. Slytherin, remember?" He pointed at himself andgrinned at her, then got up. "I'll see you later and let you know exactly where and when, okay?"

WhittyBitty · 06-18-2014, 02:20 AM

The colder it got outside, the more time Lux was spending indoors. Not being able to find Bay anywhere, the little Puff figured that he was probably in his Common Room. Since she was too lazy to look for anyone else, the library was an amazing place to go to keep warm and occupy her mind.

After grabbing a random romance novel off one of the shelves, Lux plopped down in a chair under one of the stained glass windows. At the start of last term, she would have steered clear from these books, but so many thing had changed since then.

The library. A place Adelaide pretty much frequented the last two terms here, but had basically avoided since she got back to Hogwarts. Studying just wasn't as appealing to her anymore. But with NEWTs fast approaching, she had to crack down sometime. Especially since uni seemed like her number one option right now.

Addi took her collection of books, mostly potions and runes for today and headed over towards the windows where she usually sat. But all thoughts of studying left her mind when she spotted a little ginger puff she hadn't seen very much this term. She hurried over to the younger girl. "Lux!" She shouted louder than she probably should have for a library. Oops. Hopefully Kitridge wasn't too close.

Lux was reading a scene about kissing, so of course that made her want to kiss. Where was Bay? Though kissing in the library probably wasn't the best idea and she wasn't huge on PDA. But still. And she wanted boyfriend anyway, because she missed him. Sighing, she turned the page...

... and jumped in her seat as someone shouted her name. "You just about gave me a heart attack, Addi!" Laughing, the little Puff put her hand to her heart and waited for it to calm down. "I've missed you. Been studying for NEWTs?" Eww, NEWTs. Something she wasn't looking forward to.

Addi couldn't contain a giggle as she noticed she'd scared her. Oops. Then again she knew what it felt like to be snuck up on like that. "Sorry. Should've known better. Whatcha reading?" Curious as always when it came to books.

She wrinkled her nose at the mention of NEWTs. "Not so much. Just avoiding been avoiding things. But was planning on studying some today." Adelaide held up the potions and runes books.

Giggling some more, Lux showed the cover to Addi. "Just a random romance novel I picked up." Shocking seeing her read these, but she was enjoying them more and more now. And it seemed that her reading selection was a lot better than her friends. Ewww, textbooks.

"Sometimes I want to avoid things too. Besides my boyfriend and friends. I'd never avoid them." But school sometimes was too much for her, especially this term where everything seemed to crammed together and fast paced. "Did you see the Centaurs wandering around?" Addi had been there for the Unicorn incident even though they hadn't talked much, but Lux wasn't sure if her friend had seen the Centaurs.

Ah. Romance novels. Addi hadn't read one of those in a while. Hadn't really felt like the whole lovey dovey thing much anymore. Relationships seemed kind of overrated. Kissing though...but her thoughts were drifting. "Those are good."

Adelaide nodded. Avoiding things had pretty much become her specialty these past few months. "There's centaurs now too?" Obviously answering her question with another question probably wasn't the best, but oh well. It was out there. She grabbed a chair, setting her books down. "Wonder what's going on in the forest that's got all of these creatures out here." More thinking out loud than anything.

Nod. They WERE good. But Lux didn't want to dwell on that subject when there was the more pressing matter of Centaurs to discuss. "Yes, they are leaving the forest looking for shelter. They said that it's getting to be inhospitable there. That's why animals are leaving." Addi already knew about the Unicorns, so there was no point in mentioning that to her.

"They spoke to the Headmistress and said that we should seek shelter as well." Which obviously meant staying inside the castle. Something that wasn't always easy to do when one needed fresh air and a change of scenery every so often. And besides, the teachers kept insisting on them having lessons outside.

Inhospitable? That couldn't be good. "At least we know why there were unicorns in Hogsmeade. Sort of." Adelaide thought it was a start, but she was still confused. Maybe she should study creatures today instead. It would help both her curiosity and her studying.

"Must be pretty bad then." What on earth they were seeking shelter from, she had no idea. But Addi was going to have issues with the whole 'having to stay inside' thing. She needed the outdoors. "Wonder if the teachers will stop having lessons outside." She loved them, but that was probably best for their safety.

Nodding, Lux had to agree with Addi that it was definitely good to know why the Unicorns had appeared in Hogsmeade. Things were getting stranger and stranger as the weather got colder and colder. "I'm not sure what's going on either, but I'm getting so tired of freezing all the time. I'm scared to write my parents about it because they are probably going to make me go home for the rest of term." As much as she wanted to be away from the cold, the thought of leaving Bay and her friends even for a few months made Lux very sad. She needed to be with her friends, and she wanted to help out as much as possible.

"I sure hope they stop having lessons outside. Ancient Runes was terrible and I had to get a ride on Kace's back." A wonderful boy, Kace was. One of her best friends, and not bad at giving piggyback rides either. Of course he wasn't as good as Bay, but then no one was.

Freezing yes. Cold Adelaide could tolerate but she couldn't go outside without at least three maybe four layers on anymore. It was starting to become a pain to dress. Not to mention the dungeons were a lot colder than they usually were and fireplace seating was prime real estate. "I don't have that problem. But yeah. I hope they don't close the school or anything." Then again, they didn't with the aging thing and that was much worse.

Addi smiled. Kace was a nice guy. She hadn't had too much to do with him, but they had gone sledding that one time. "If they do, I might start skipping. I hate to say that, but ya know, if a lot of people band together and do it, they can't punish us all can they?" She probably would guilt herself into going into classes if they were outside, but eh. It was a thought.

Addi was lucky that she didn't have to deal with possibly getting pulled from the school, but Lux was going to keep silent on that. She knew that her parents loved her and would do it for her best interests, but that did not mean that she WANTED to leave. Even though it was FREEZING and she HATED The cold, Lux was not going to leave her friends and boyfriend.

Wait, what?

Close the school? They might close the school?! The thought hadn't dawned on her, but Addi was right; the school might close if the coldness hadn't stopped. They had considered that last term with the ageing thing, so why not now when everything was so very cold. "I really hope that doesn't happen. I love it here. I don't want to leave just yet." It was stupid, because she could still see people even if school was cancelled, but that thought didn't even occur to her.

Skipping? What did skipping around have to do with classes? "Do you mean skipping as in a happy walk? Or something else? I'm sorry if I sound dumb, but I'm not sure what you mean." She really didn't want to sound stupid, but she was still worried that she DID.

Adelaide realized the possible closing of the school hadn't crossed the young redhead's mind. It was one of the first things that occurred to her. Even if it wasn't as bad as the whole aging fiasco from last term. "Me neither." Mainly because she didn't really have anywhere to go. But she wasn't going to talk to Lux about that.

Addi smiled at the slight misunderstanding. "No. Not that kind of skipping. Like ditching just not going at all." That made sense now yes. Even though the Slytherin girl would probably never do that this close to NEWTs.
