How did we get here? When I used to know you so well?
Marina Eugenie Aldred, Proud Halfblood, Slytherin Second Year
Wearing
Mood: Determined
Thoughts: There has to be something...
With: Damien
Location: Library "Anytime," Marina relied softly, relieved that he was no longer crying. She was rubbish at comforting people. Now that the whole emotional thing was over with, it was time to get down to the research, which was what she liked best. Books were much less complicated than people, after all. She turned to the stack of books on the table in front of her. "Right. Well, there has to be something useful in one of these books." The redhead picked up The Healer's Helpmate and turned to the index, looking for nightmares or night terrors. Not looking up, she slid Where There's a Wand, There's a Way over to him. "You might find this helpful. Unless you really are interested in wandlore." A faint smile tugged at the corners of her mouth as she tapped her finger on the index page triumphantly. "Nightmares, page 279." The young Slytherin began flipping pages quickly, until she reached the right one. There was silence as she pored over the page, brown eyes scanning for any sort of help it might offer.
"Endurance is nobler than strength and has more patience than beauty."
How did we get here? Well I think I know...

Damien took the book she'd slid to him, looking at the cover. It seemed rather trite, he thought. But altogether less embarrassing than going to another person for help. Except perhaps Marina... He glanced back at the book he'd used in his lie. "Actually, I do find the subject quite fascinating. Like I said, they are the most important tool any witch or wizard has, and yet there are so many who know so very little about them..." He sat down next to her, opening the self-help book she'd passed him. "But, or course, it wasn't the real reason I was here." He glanced back to the book, flipping it open to the table of contents. He skimmed through, not sure if anything would be helpful. He sighed. If only there were a professor they could speak with... his mind shot to the woman who'd saved them. She'd been kind, and very concerned. She might be able to help them! It was certainly worth a shot. He glanced at Marina. "I know that you're about as likely as me to want to ask for help, but... there is someone we could ask without having to be embarrassed or anything. The professor who saved us, the woman... did you happen to catch her name? She's still here, I saw her at the feast. She might be able to help, or at least point us in the right direction." He tilted his head. He'd been unconscious when she'd saved them, and only barely been any better when she'd come to check on him in the time after, so he couldn't recall her name, or anything about her other than what she looked like. He didn't even know what she taught. But, she'd been so worries about them both... perhaps she could help.

Mood: Neutral
Thoughts: Harlowe, isn't it?
With: Damien
Location: LibraryMarina looked up from the book. "Professor Harlowe, you mean? I think she teaches Mythology. That's a good idea. She was pleasant, and seemed worried about us. I haven't seen her since the end of last year, but I think I might know where her classroom is." She closed the book, looking disappointed. "There's nothing in here. Just potions to alleviate nightmares. My mum made me try some over the summer." She grimaced, remembering. "They didn't help at all, and they tasted sickly sweet. So that's out of the question. Besides, I don't trust my potion making ability enough to be certain that I won't accidentally poison myself." The redhead flipped quickly to the table of contents in another book, and found nothing. "I've lost all respect for this section of the library," she muttered darkly. Turning to Damien, she posed a suggestion. "We could pay her a visit, if you really think she can help us." The Slytherin closed the book with a resolute thud, placing it down on the table. "Endurance is nobler than strength and has more patience than beauty."

Damien nodded, frowning. "You'd think we'd be able to pull it off. Hermione Granger brewed a Polyjuice Potion when she was in the same year we are. But I'm not especially good at it, either." He stood up, closing the book he'd been riffling through. He hadn't found anything to help him, either. Mostly it was all about meditation and using magic to clear your mind... he doubted that would work. A few mentions of potions there as well, but if they hadn't helped Marina, he doubted they would help him. He grabbed up the books on the table to put them back on the shelves. "Lead the way? I've no idea where to even begin looking." In spite of his interest in the school, he hadn't done much exploring. He'd been focusing on the more studious subjects last term, and now... now he was lucky if he was up and about at all during his off time. Or his class time.

Mood: Neutral
Thoughts: Off we go...
With: Damien
Location: Misc. Section Marina stood up. "I heard she got transformed into a cat human hybrid as a result, though. That must have been unpleasant." she remarked as she stood up. "Of course. Come on, then." The redheaded girl led him out of the library, mentally mapping the fastest route to the professor's office in her head. If she could remember where it was... "Endurance is nobler than strength and has more patience than beauty." (Exit to Professor Harlowe's office) How did we get here? Well i think I know...

 ℋeather ℋawthorn❀ℋufflepuff ℭaptain and ℬeater❀
❀ℱourth ϒear❀ ℋalf~ℬlood❀Heather and .....?Sehza ℋeather wandered the library, searching for the Miscellaneous section. A bit of spare time found her, and she decided to spend it in the library, surrounded by books, alone. Though, she at least had a purpose in this search. She needed to read up on more Quidditch strategies. The team couldn't rely on Ari's luck with the Snitch, for it was just that at times, luck. Her Chaser's needed to be more organized, and her Keeper needed to get his head in the game. Tobi she could train easily, if he was willing to learn, which she figured he was. He was a bright young first year, after all. Finally, after rows upon rows of searching, she found the shelf she was looking for. The one with books about Quidditch. They contained everything, and that was what she wanted to know: everything. Taking down as many as she found necessary, which was mainly all of them on the subject, she piled them onto a table and sat down, plucking one from the top and cracking it open, beginning to read. The smell of old parchment hit her nostrils, and she breathed it in deeply. Oh, how she missed that familiar scent. That was what knowledge smelled like, she used to tell herself. And now, surrounded by what seemed like mountains of books, she was starting to believe it again.

_________________________________________ The Ravenclaw common room lacked the books he needed for some research for his classes. So what was the next best guess where the books would be? In the library, of course. The room was no stranger to him, and with some time to spare, Chase walked over to the library filled with hundreds and thousands of books. The boy looked up and down, his eyes scanning the many titles while his mind decided which book may be relevant to his research. When he finally decided on two books, he walked out of the aisles of tomes to spot Heather surrounded by a multitude of books, reading intently. out of the blue, he decided it may be best to join her, to keep her company. That, or he was crazy. So, he went up to the Hufflepuff, and asked, "Mind if I join you?" He pointed at the seat directly across from her.____________________

❀ℱourth ϒear❀ ℋalf~ℬlood❀Heather and .....?Sehzaℋeather was reading, her eyes glued to the pages before her. Licking her finger, she turned the page just as a voice filled the silence of the library. Blue eyes looked up to find another set of blue irises. The Hufflepuff tucked her hair behind her ear, watching the Ravenclaw before her. "Oh. Hey, Chase. Uh, sure. Go ahead." She looked back down at her book, reading another page, then another, turning to the next one before finally looking back at her friend. She opened her mouth, as if to say something to him, but just exhaled instead. Her gaze fell once again, returning to the book in front of her. 'I wonder why he's here. There are plenty of other tables in the library. Why sit at this one?' she thought as she continued her reading.

_________________________________________ Chase slipped into the seat, at first having no clue whatsoever what to do. So he began reading the books he had brought with him, though found that no materials registered in his mind. His eyes kept jumping back and forth between the page of his book and Heather, who was intently reading. Why did he sit here again? Oh God, Chase was a complete mess. "So... Nice weather we're having?" the Ravenclaw blurted out. You idiot.____________________

❀ℱourth ϒear❀ ℋalf~ℬlood❀Heather and .....?Sehzaℋeather read page after page, turning the old parchment as she finished one page to move onto another. Sometimes, she flipped back to reread a page again. So much information, and so little time. Well, really, she had all the time in the world. It wasn't like she needed to worry about sleeping. A sound broke her concentration, and she looked up from her books to Chase, who seemed a bit nervous for some reason. "Hmm? Oh. Yeah, I guess. I haven't really been paying attention to the weather all that much recently, but I suppose it is 'nice'." she replied. After watching him for a few moments, her attention returned to her book. Several pages later, she snapped it closed and started on the next one. Her skill of reading at fast paces really came in handy in times like these. Her eyes glanced to the Ravenclaw sitting with her. 'Oh yeah. Conversation. Uhh...?' Heather had never been the best at being social. "Sooo... You made Quidditch Vice Captain this year, didn't you, Chase?" she asked. 'Well... That could have gone better.' The Hufflepuff sighed. She felt as if she was only adding to the slightly awkward feeling in the room.

 ~Yvette Tarot~ Gryffindor/First Year/Single/Pureblood Location: Library, Miscellaneous SectionYvette wanders into the library's miscellaneous book section, setting her back down at one of tables and wandering the shelves.. pulling down an interesting looking book on wandlore and going to sit down with it. She had a lot of free time today, and reading about new subjects was one of her favourite ways to pass the time.

~Yvette Tarot~ Gryffindor/First Year/Single/Pureblood Location: Library, Miscellaneous Section'This really is a fascinating book,' Yvette thought to herself as she finished another chapter, taking a look at the time and deciding that she should probably do some actual studying before her next class. Sighing quietly, she stands to replace the book back on its shelf and head through the aisles back to the study area.~Exit to Library, Study Area~

_________________________________________ The tiny moment of silence filled the boy with all types of anxiety. Was he somehow holding his book upside down? Or was he not wearing pants? But with a reply, he internally sighed in relief. Chase, however, was afraid that anything that would come out of his mouth is complete gibberish. So he kept his mouth shut, smiled and nodded, and continued to read his book. Not that he had the concentration to do so though. When Heather spoke up, the Ravenclaw felt excited, which was slightly odd for him to do so. "Uh? I-I...uh," he stuttered. He cleared his throat, then tried again. "Yeah. I was slightly surprised, since I wasn't the most athletic one," he chuckled. "What about you? You're the new Quidditch Captain."____________________

Simon Meridith
Fifth Year Ravenclaw
☆═━┈☯┈━═☆ ✔Age: Fifteen
✔Mood: Bored and slightly annoyed.
✔Status: With Riley Crevan. Just sitting there and listening to these two stammer about the weather and Quidditch made Simon realize they liked each other. But of course, all their talking was distracting him from studying, and clearly, they didn't know they liked each other. So, the way Sam stepped in for him, he would for his housemate. "Look mate," Si said, leaning out of the study booth. "I'm gonna give you some advice my brother gave me a couple years ago. Just ask her out. She likes you. And you like her. Ask her out, and please stop distracting my studies," he said, cracking the signature Meridith smirk before leaning back into his booth. Out Of Character: ...

_________________________________________ A helping hand arrived just as the conversation ebbed into extinction, the land of no return. The growing awkwardness between Heather and him must've been obvious, since one of his housemates, Simon Meridith, gave him some advice. "So-sorry!" Chase exclaimed. So... he liked Heather? He would've never come to this conclusion by himself. Sure, it would explain certain behaviors. Oh God, Chase felt the temperature of his face rise, a phenomenon best explained as "blushing". He held his head down, eyes locked onto the many sentences that seemed to turn into some type of alphabet soup. His palms were sweating, feeling a little edgy in his own body. In a swift motion, Chase held up the book he was semi-reading to cover his face, wishing he could shrink himself to be able to hide behind this little book.____________________
