| | |  Library Bookshelves
 A large number of floor-to-ceiling bookcases fill up the library, creating aisles upon aisles of books available for students to read and browse. To make finding books for all years a little easier Mr Kitridge has divided the bookshelves into sections like romance, suspense, crime, history, plants and fungi etc.
To return books just walk up to the appropriate shelf and hold up the book. The gripping charm in place on the shelves will take a hold of the book. When you feel a tug on the book let go and the book will fly up and find its right place amongst the other books on the shelves. When retrieving a book you can use the sliding ladders or if you feel confident with your magic you can use a simple accio charm to retrieve the book you want.
In front of each aisle there is small set of desks which students can use to complete homework, copy notes, take book references or chat. Keep your voices down and be mindful of falling books and other students accessing books around you.
Happy reading and learning! | |

Noelle knew she was supposed to be waiting by the library entrance for NoahBear but the excitement of researching how to become an animagus was just too tempting. He wasn't there when she got there about twenty minutes too early, so she took it upon herself to start venturing the library book shelves.
Noah would find her...... Eventually.
The petite 14 year old, didn't know quite where to start looking so she ventured to the animal section. Her fingers skimmed the spines of the books as she looked. Of course, she'd talked to her big sister, Hady, about becoming an animagus but she wanted to know EVERYTHING. And that meant studying.
Now, where was this book? Or books?

It was nearing the finals and Carl wanted to do some revision. The Hufflepuff Common Room was a good place to study, but loud chatting students could be a big distraction. After getting hit by a cushion thrown by a somewhat enthusiastic First Year, he decided to move to the Library.
The Badger dropped his bag on a desk, hoping he could finally concentrate on his - ooh, was that a book about unicorns? He squinted at the thick spine of a book high up in the bookshelf in front of him, where he could definitely make out the word unicorn. He wanted to know everything about them! Temporarily forgetting what he was supposed to do, he began climbing a ladder to retrieve the book.

Now, where was this book? Or books? Upon entering the library, and not seeing Noelle, Noah looked for the time. Was he late? Was he early? Was she late? Gazing around uncertainly, seeing if he could catch a glance of her somewhere close by, Noah bit his lip and stood by the entrance a while longer, checking the time too often.
Three minutes past, then five, and Noah started venturing away and toward the bookshelves, grey eyes on the lookout for a familiar Gryffindor girl. His favorite, of course. "Noelle?" Small pause, keeping his voice down for the most part. "Marco?" | |

Okay. Books.
There were a whole row of books for animagus. Thick books. Small books. Light books. Tall books. Noelles arms were full in a matter of minutes. The tiny girl started towards a table when she heard a familiar voice. His voice.
Instant grins.
And he was caking Marco. A light smirk played on her lips as she adjusted the books and called out, "Polo!!" Of course.... She was probably being a little bit too loud but... Come and find her NoahBear.

Slowly walking around one bookshelf to another, peeking around each corner in search of 'Marco', the Diggory boy grinned wider as he heard her voice. "Marco?" He called once more, steady but still somewhat quiet as he followed the sound of her voice.
Rounding another shelf corner, the brunette had an amused look playing on his face at the sight of one Noelle Summers. "Hey, Marco." Teasing lightly, the Ravenclaw closed the distance between them and took a good half of her stack of books. "Started without me?" | |

Noelle knew that NoahBear would find her soon. She leaned against the bookshelf and stayed still. Adjusting her books she waited. Then she heard his voice again. Softer this time. She bit her lip to keep from giggling. "Polo" She called quieter this time.
And he found her.
Noelle grinned and happily handed over some books. "Well... You were late." No that wasn't true. "Okay so maybe I was early and super excited and ....." Noelle paused and met his eyes. "I wanna know everything." Noelle beamed at her boyfriend.
Heading to the table with her books, she put them down and settled into a chair. "Hady started the process two years ago and she's just now getting to transformation." She said quietly because library and also ears around. Noah would know who Hady was. Her big sister. Not biologically but everyway else, yes. "Are you sure you wanna do this?"

Her eyes scanned the spines of books as she twisted through the maze... at least that was what she often pretended it was. A BOOK MAZE! How awesome would that be? She tried to stifle the giggles that erupted, but failed miserably. Hehehehe.
OH AND LOOK! Carl and his pretty self. Dora was one to admire all types of beauty and his symmetrical face was definitely one. A thing of beauty, that is.
" CARL! WHY ARE YOU ON A LADDER? " she shouted as she approached him. Ehheheh!

"CARL! WHY ARE YOU ON A LADDER? " she shouted as she approached him. Ehheheh! He had just reached the shelf where the book was on when he heard giggles from somewhere below him. His hand outstretched, Carl looked down and grinned as he saw Dora ... until she started shouting. With an amused smile, he put a finger on his lips to suggest that she should prooobably lower her voice a little, before quickly grabbing the book and climbing down the ladder. "HI Dora! I was trying to get a book, but it was really high up on the shelf." The Second Year said, showing her the cover, which had a pretty drawing of a unicorn on it. He led the way to the desk he had claimed earlier on and sat down. "You wanna take a seat? How have you been?"

"HI Dora! I was trying to get a book, but it was really high up on the shelf." The Second Year said, showing her the cover, which had a pretty drawing of a unicorn on it. He led the way to the desk he had claimed earlier on and sat down. "You wanna take a seat? How have you been?" Oh PFFFT! Dora didn't follow rules. That included the one that said one must be quiet in a library. That one was utter rubbish if you asked her! Who were they going to disturb? The older couple making out behind the stacks? The old dude Librarian guy? PFFFT! Whatever.
Dora shrugged and waved as he came down and showed her the cover. " Unicorn book?" She didn't quite understand why he would be fascinated with them, but she didn't judge. Her preferred reading was just not his. Hehe. Following behind him she gave a shrug, even if he couldn't see it.
" I have been... whatever. Where have you been? Have you been hiding from me, Carl?"
