Skylar laughed and smiled. "Guess that's good." She said and smiled when she heard the song and tapped along with Annie softly and hummed softly to the music, looking down at her book on the Triwizard Tournament.
Annie peered to make out the writing on the book. What are you researching the Tournament for? she asked, and when Skylar didn't look up she tapped her pen on the paper impatiently.
Skylar looked up and blushed sheepishly. "Sorry." She said and read her question. "Oh. Well it's just something Nicolas said about something in the tournament....." She lied. She felt like her time with Nicolas should stay just between them for some reason. "Also I think it could be fun if it started again." She said and grinned, this time telling the truth.
They had to stop it because of the death toll. Last time, when they thought they made it safer, The Dark Lord found a way to almost murder Harry Potter. That's a bit of a problem. Annie wrote skeptically. She'd researched the tournament for a History of Magic this year, and had uncovered some ridiculously dangerous tasks and that they had to call quits because of the death toll.
I just don't think they'll start it up again because the murders got a little out of hand. she admitted, chewing on the end of her quill.

Skylar frowned slightly. "Well I think it would be fun. And there wasn't a death every time. Surely they can make it a bit safer and put up special protections and rules?" She suggested.
Annie shrugged. I guess its possible. But they made so many precautions last time, and still Lord Voldemort almost killed Potter, as I said before. I just think something could go wrong no matter what, so I suppose maybe its worth trying again. she wrinkled her nose.
Skylar sighed and shut her book, not finding what she was looking for. She moved to the next one and began flipping the pages to the most recent tournament. "Still, I think they should have it again. It could be fun. Thought I'm not entirely sure if I would enter or not." She said softly.
((Sorry!))
Annie agreed. I might enter, just I'd have to get really really good at silent spellwork. It's difficult, because you know she pointed to her throat. I can't exactly speak, can I?
She closed her book, rolling up her parchment. I'd better be getting along. Have a good time at the ball! she signed, smiling and slinging her bag over one shoulder.

Skylar smiled back. "Thanks. I hope you change your mind and decide to go." She said and then stood up and carried her books to the Librarian's desk. "Hello again. May I check out these books?" She asked.
Annie left the library, smiling, feeling happier than she had in a while.
Madame Edmund popped the last of her lemon drops into her mouth, and nodded, mouth full. "Of course," she swallowed, and scribbled a few things down on her notepad, and handed her back the books. "Have a good day!" She chirped after her, returning to her librarians chair.
((Thank you for the RP!))

Bryssa grinned. "Oh yes," she looked over to the librarian's desk and her smile grew. "She's fantastic. Have you met her?" Madame Edmund winked from her seat at the desk.
"She's a laugh, that one. So glad she replaced the old one, I never knew her name, poor dear," Bryssa rambled.

Bryssa looked at the little candies. "Well, now I'm especially glad there isn't a no-food policy," she smiled broadly. And took one, unwrapping it. It was a pleasant caramel color, which reminded her of Hazelle. Her smile faltered, and she hoped Markus didn't notice.
"No, nothing," she changed her face to resemble an expression of absolute delight. She popped the candy into her mouth, and the sweet, salty flavor spread over her tongue. She smiled for real now, these were the best candies she'd ever had. "Where did you get those?" she asked, smiling serenely, still savoring the candy in her mouth.
Hazelle floated back into her mind, and she was afraid her smile would fade again. Hazelle's hair was the exact color of the candy, and caramel had been her favorite flavor.

Bryssa snapped out of her Hazelle inspired reverie.
"Sorry, what did you say? I kind of zoned out a little," she admitted, blinking quickly. His words penetrated her. "Sneak out?" she asked, her mouth twitching. She was sure Markus was joking around, she'd never thought of sneaking out.
Bryssa was not generally a rule breaker, and this new course of action surprised her. It sounded fun though, really fun. Figuring out how to do it may be a problem, but once they were out... But maybe Markus already knew how to do it, maybe he'd done it before.

Bryssa shook her head violently. "No! That sounds... Wonderful. I want you to meet Hazelle. Really I do! Oh Markus, you'll love her," Bryssa felt so grateful for him, and she knew he would be able to get them out of the castle. "Let's do it. This coming weekend. We could leave on Friday, after classes, return Sunday night. Let's do it!" She repeated, excitement flooding through her.
Bryssa glowed. "I can't apparate, actually. But I can fly!" She assured him.
"You are going to live Hazelle. She's going to love you!" She said, trying to keep her voice down.
((Sorry for the shrimpy post, at the doctors office :))

Bryssa shook her head. "I have nothing to check out, these are mine," she slid the books into her bag and lifted it over her shoulder. "Lets go!" she said rapping her fingers on the desk in time with Madame Edmund's music, a song by a band named "Cake". Odd name, Bryssa thought, as she grinned when Madame Edmund started belting the chorus, "He's going for distance, he's going for SPEED," she sang, getting annoyed looks from other studying students.
Edith smiled pleasantly at her sketch as she pushed a strand of hair behind her ear. She gently set her notebook on the floor next to her, turning slightly to grab a book of the shelf next to her. The bookshelf pressed into her back as she leaned back and flipped open the cover of the novel. The soft sound of footsteps drifted through her thoughts, causing a slight disturbance in the placid calm of the library. She quickly slammed close the cover of her sketch book and glanced upwards, her eyes finding Magnus as he walked down the aisle of books.
"Hi," she smiled.
"Hi," she smiled.

"Hey", she relpied, tucking a stray hair behind her ear, smiling down at her book. She glanced out at the rain soaked windows, her gaze then trailing back to Magnus' dark eyes and pale face. "How's your Transfiguration going?" She blushed, realizing she'd been staring.
((I'm not sure, I don't think so. Sorry I have been caught up a lot with other stuff))
((Seriously, I didn't even recognize you and I was like 'who am I RPing with?' this profile pic swap is confuzzling))
Nico hopped gratefully into one of the squashy bean bags in front of the fire, and stuck out his hands, turning them to warm them evenly. His fingers sang in relief, the sleet melting to water and dripping from his hair. "That was interesting," he said, but his teeth were chattering so badly that he was positive she couldn't have understood.
He curled into a ball, tucking his hands under himself to keep them warm. His socks and shoes were drenched, soaked to the bone. He shivered, and shook his head, splattering everything near him with drops of freezing water.

((No no! I like it!!))
Nico nodded, watching her as she left. She slipped under the chain barring the restricted section, and vanished from sight.
He snuggled back into his bean bag, his jacket now comfortably dry. He kicked off his sneakers, letting the fire dry his sopping socks. He shivered, pleasurably now, and settled, pulling a book from the shelf next to him. It was a muggle novel, one he knew, but hadn't ever read. It was titled, The Book Thief. A photograph of a line of dominos, lined up so that if you pushed one over, they'd all tumble down.
His eye brows furrowed, he began to read. "First the colours.
Then the humans.
That’s how I usually see things.
Or at least, how I try.
*** HERE IS A SMALL FACT ***
You are going to die."
Nico frowned, thinking that this was a perfectly ridiculous start to a book. He sighed, and made to push it back into place on the shelf nearest his left arm, but Yellow was back and had stopped him.

Nico heard the forceful slamming of a book, and leaned back to see Yellow, standing stall still, frozen, a peculiar expression on her face. Somewhere between a half formed scream and a smile. He stood, tucking the book into his coat, and walked over to her, ducking under the chain barring him from the restricted section.
He tapped Yellow on the shoulder, and peered at the book she'd been skimming.
Deaf?
Was Yellow deaf?

((Okay!! Lyra and I just started an RP in the Hospital Wing, so should we wait?))
Nico was confused. "O-okay! I guess I'll see you around Yellow," he smiled and stuffed his hands in his pockets. He nodded and turned, his sneakers still wet and squeaking as he left the library.

As she expected, he wasn't quite there yet. She had rushed out of lunch to get here, but he may not have. Maia decided to wander around and pretend to look for books because she didn't want to pick a spot to sit at quite yet.
Robin melted through the doorway, and looked around, trying to spot a familiar face. There she was, Maia was standing awkwardly in the center of the room, clutching a little black book against her chest, and looking a little embarrassed.
He caught her eye, and the uncomfortable look vanished, being replaced by one of joy. He motioned for her to follow him, and she did, and they settled in the two bean bags in front of the fire.

The fire was flaring and The Maia could almost see her reflection in the mantelpiece above it. It was a silver metal that looked like the one she had at her new home in London.
"Oh," Robin said, shrugging, "I don't read a lot, if at all, actually," he admitted, thinking of how behind he was on his Transfiguration reading. "I like Shakespeare a little," he lied, for it was close to an obsession.
"What about you? What do you like to read?" he asked, fiddling with the corner of his robes.

A girl who looked around the age of eleven was wandering around aimlessly and walked right by the two looking around but not noticing them. "I wonder if she's lost, I mean that girl,"Maia said after the girl had turned around a corner behind some bookshelves. Maia laughed a little and Robin looked confused. "Her expression was funny, you have to admit." She explained to him.
Robin turned, "How can you be lost in a library?" he said quietly, pointedly, and his eyes followed the little girl. "Hey you!" he called after her, and she jumped, turning around, her face was beat red, and her curls bounced around her shoulders.
Robin looked at Maia who was smiling kindly. "Are you okay? Need help finding anything?"
((Hehe this girl is actually a girl I'm creating right now lol))

((Hehe this girl is actually a girl I'm creating right now lol))

"Um. Maybe..."the girl said quietly. "I'm just a little lost. If I could just-"she was interrupted by Madame Edmund. "I can help you honey,"she said practically dragging her away from them.
"I wonder what's up with them." Maia said distantly. "Well. So what's your favorite color?"
she said still thinking about the girl. Maia remembered the color of her scarf. "Yellow!" Maia said suddenly. "Sorry, that's not my favorite color or probably not yours, but that was the color of the girl's scarf. She must be in Hufflepuff!"
((Sorry! I was at rehearsal))
"Actually, she had raven decorated socks. Only a hard core raven supporter would have those, unless she was a Hufflepuff. And the stripes on her scarf were more blue than yellow," he said quickly, then blinked.
"Sorry, I tend to be big on observations," Robin admitted.

"Oh. Wow, you're really observant. I would have never noticed that."Maia said. She realized she was staring at him in awe and quickly looked away embarrassed.
"You should maybe look for her sometime since she's in your house. What year do you think she's in?"Maia said almost sure that he would know. It was funny that she was so interested in the girl, but just thought she was mysterious.
"I'd guess first, maybe second, she looked pretty small and nervous," Robin noted, his eyes sliding back to Maia. "I'll check on her later," he said smiling.
"So, Maia. Such a lovely girl such as you hasn't been snatched up by another boy, which makes perfectly no sense whatsoever," he said slyly, and winked.
He grinned sheepishly, to show he was kidding, and she laughed too. It was nice, both of them sitting there, laughing.

They finally stopped laughing after they both had heard footsteps and quieted down in case it was Madame Edmund. "You're too kind. I ,myself, think I look ugly, but then I do live with a family of angelic-looking people." Maia said almost in a whisper, but at the end of her talking she laughed at herself for doing so.
"Do you fancy Quidditch much?" Maia said
((Sometimes when you're using it on your phone it cuts out words.))
Robin laughed. "No, I can't say that I am, actually," he said honestly, shaking his head. "I tried out for the team in my first year, which was completely foolish, for I am an absolute disgrace to the art of flying,"
He shook his head again, running a hand through his raven hair. "So do you play at all? I'd love to come and watch you."

"My father put me in football lessons when I was young and I'll just say he learned to never even try to have me do any sports ever again."She said. "Anyway, I'm kind of glad you're not a Quidditch player. It doesn't seem like you."
"I fully agree," Robin said sagely, nodding. "The rules make sense enough, I just can't fly to save my life," he chuckled.
Robin shook his head a fraction, frowning. "Nah, it doesn't seem particularly like you either," he admitted, shuffling his feet.
((Sorry it's so short! I'm doing math homework while writing this haha))

Madame Edmund was singing along quietly to the song Africa, and Annie tapped her fingers in time to the song.
