Default Library Study Area

Way back behind the many bookshelves and bookcases a cozy area has been created for any Hogwarts student interested in his or her reading. It’s a big comfy area with clusters of armchairs and tables surrounding magical reading lamps which give off different levels of light all appropriate for reading. The clusters are perfect for study groups or group projects.

Here and there a few lone armchairs can be found for a student to enjoy some solitary reading, and a number of comfy sofas for any who wants to stretch out and put their feet up. Be sure not to have muddy feet though!

A soft glow of light is present throughout the area with more magical reading lamps in each possible reading space. Be sure to keep your voices down and respect those students who wish to read in quiet.

No food or drink is allowed in the study area!

Happy reading!

Ronnie was surly not going to read her Quidditch Through the Ages book in the Gryffindor common room. Nuh uh. No sir. It was a little noisy in there today, and well...it's not that easy reading in a noisy area. So, she had decided to read in the library, which was completely empty. She walked past the shelves to the study area, and curled up in an armchair and flipped open her book and began reading.

Reading in the Gryffindor Common Room was hard with Noisy Students talking loudly.He sounded like a Professor when He said that.He walked into the Library and headed down to Where the Comfy chairs were and sat down on one of them.He pulled out His Potions Book and began to read.

Once again his feet took him to the library. Kennedy was beginning to believe that his brain unconsciously sought the comfort of the library whenever the teen was in need of peace. After the quarrel with Johnathan and Aurora at the Great Hall Kennedy just wanted to sort out his thoughts and of course this was the best place to do so.

Before sitting down Kennedy's eyes briefly wandered over the bookshelves where a few weeks ago he had been on the floor talking to Kimalia about the break up. It felt like so long ago. He took a seat at an empty table and set the two letters he had gotten from his parents down in front of him. His mind was too busy to even think of reading them.

First, he felt guilty for writing to Aurora's mother, but he had to. Mrs. Stewart-Quinn had some sort of weird business with his father, Wayne, and the day she visited the manor he knew they did "business". A week after the Quidditch game he had been invited to was a blur. He couldn't remember anything. A few days of his life...gone. His father claimed Kennedy had been ill for a few days and that it was normal that he didn't remember anything. Kennedy knew that wasn't true. His father was hiding something. Especially the way he looked at him with that nasty grin always plastered on his face.

Kennedy had told this to Aurora and with her assistance they found out it had been a memory potion her mother had given Wayne. Honestly, he didn't think what the consequences for Aurora would be if her mother knew that she was helping Kennedy unearth the business between her and his father. Apparently, she had very strict rules when it came to her client's privacy and they had broken that. And now Kennedy made it worse for Aurora. Her mother was most likely furious with her.

He sighed, his finger tracing the outline of the letter that was half open. Deciding that thinking would get him nowhere at the moment Kennedy opened the first letter that was from his father.

SPOILER!!: Wayne's Letter


Son,

I'll see you at Christmas.

- Phabian Wayne


That was it? No answer to his previous letter. He shouldn't be surprised by this reply, but he was. He shook his head and rolled up the parchment. Now, it was time for his mother's letter. He was glad she actually wrote back after the way he had treated her.

SPOILER!!: Mother's Letter

Kennedy,

I'm sorry to hear what happened. And no, I am not going to tell you I told you so. Things like these happen all the time. One just needs to learn from them and move on.

I received a letter from Johnathan's mother and he told her how you've reacted to this incident. You can't let this drag you down. Kennedy, you've been through worse. You cannot let a simple girl get you down and make you give up. Get up! Smell the fresh air, run a mile, eat ice cream all day (but first your meals). Enjoy life. You're a teenager. You're going to mess up many, many more times, but you have to remember that out of all of them you'll learn something new.

Everything will get better you just have to make an effort. I'm here for you and you have nothing to apologize for.

Love you,
Mom

P.S. Tell Johnathan I said hi (he's such a great boy).


Kennedy's jaw dropped after reading his mother's letter. She didn't scold him...not even a little bit. Her words seem to have already engraved themselves in his mind, but a certain familiar phrase stood out the most. It was one he had heard not so long ago. From none other than Sierra Greingoth.

They were right and that would become his mantra; everything'll get better.

His mother was right, he's been through things that inflicted both physical and emotional pain, but he didn't give up then. Why would he now?

Things were going to change from now on.

The last bit in the letter made him roll his eyes as he stood up to leave. Great. Now he really had to go chase down the Gryffindor. Johnathan was and is his brother from another mother and he had to fix things.

Dang, there seems to be lots of fixing these days.

Aspen had been in the library all week. If the librarian would have let her sleep here, on the couch that had been occupied by her for days, she would have. She was curled up on the end of the couch, her face towards the back of the couch and her back visible to anyone that came to this section of the library. Of course, she had a book open and her nose in it.

She had been through a stack of books, all in a messy pile on the floor around the couch.

The only noises coming from her was the turning of the pages on occasion, and otherwise, the rest of the world ceased to exist for her.

Cornelius was sprinting into the Study Lounge of the library, straight from the Ravenclaw Common Room. But a little background needs to be provided to fully understand his situation.

Cornelius hadn't seen Aspen in about a week and a half. And though he was the one avoiding her out of pure, potent embarrassment that he didn't fully want to explain, every day he had felt a strange tug of longing for the girl who had somehow become the one aspect of Hogwarts he liked the best. He wasn't sure what he had wanted to do; he wanted to see her, but he didn't want to explain. He just wanted her to forget their little conversation and continue on as though nothing had been said. Because he missed her, a lot.

And yet, he kept on avoiding her because... Well, what if she didn't want the same things that he did? What if the next time he saw her, she just wanted to stop seeing him completely? He wasn't sure if he really wanted to deal with that. So he was avoiding her.

And then today, very suddenly, in the middle of his second week of not seeing her around at all, he'd heard something around the Ravenclaw Common Room. Just people talking, mentioning loads of different things. And then out of nowhere, they mentioned Aspen and a version of her fight with Joao, ending of course with Aspen in the fetal position in the middle of the Topiary Garden, crying her eyes out over the pieces of her broken wand. And Cornelius Rune, just a table over at the study tables of the Common Room, had experienced something very new and very strange. It felt as though his heart had fallen out of his chest entirely. And there was...anger, and shame, and worry, and a fierce sense of over-protection that he had never felt ever before.

In the next second, Cornelius was up and running out of the room. How had he not heard about this before?! Why had the rumor mill, of all times, not come through with the latest things going on?! It had already been a few days since this whole duel with Joao had happened, and he hadn't even heard about it until just then! But he didn't give himself much time to think about it, his mind racing for the one place to find Aspen Odessa when she was upset. The library.

So that brings the story back to a panting Cornelius Rune, running straight to the back of the library, to the study lounge in the desperate hopes of finding Aspen. And there she was. Possibly the only thing worse than not finding her was actually finding her and seeing her like this. Curled up on a couch, oblivious to the entire world, completely alone. He was stopped in his tracks.

"Aspen," was all he could really get out, breathless, panting, his lightly tanned expression flushed with pink from the sprint down flights of stairs and down long corridors.

Ella entered the library with her bookbag weighing heavily on her shoulder, searching for a nice spot for her group to meet. The second year headed to the very back of large space, knowing that the study area would be the perfect area to get a jump start on their final project. Sure it was a bit early to start worrying about putting together the act, especially since the project was a final, but Ella liked the fact that she wouldn't have to stress over anything by waiting til the last minute.

The second year found the perfect cluster of armchairs right by a window, a nice spot to get some work done without disturbing any of the other people in the area. She headed for the chair in the middle of the cluster, dropping her bag to the floor and plopping down with a sigh. Ahhh, this was nice.

Annabelle walked in the library and was looking all around and spotted Ella in the back of the library. It was nice and quiet and cool. She loved the library and was excited to work on the project. She loved to get things out of the way than worry about them last minute. "Hi Ella!" Annabelle said happily. "Alright so are we ready to tackle this final one step at a time?" she asked.

Minerva had gotten to the library early, but had been the last one to get to meet with her group. "Hey guys, sorry it took me so long, but I have been in a massive search for a few things." She put down the hand full of books she had in her hand. She moved the Aminagus books that she was reading for her research with Maxwell off to the side and placed the 3 Dark creature books on a little table near her arm chair. "Okay so I know we have to do some research on these grindo..Oh how do you pronounce it again? I struggle in class last term."

Annabelle smiled. "The pronunciation is Grin-dy-lows-" she said with a little giggle. "Trust me i had a hard time saying it to and i see you brought books, you are very prepared for this. Alright i think we should break it down, and try to find dark creatures in the sea or something like that." Annabelle suggested to the group.

Minerva repeated the work "Grindylows" she then blushed a bit as the older girl noticed her book loving ways. "Well, I umm enjoy the library." She handed the books to the girls and took out her parchment. "We could look through these and find out everything we can and write it down. Once we have the information we can figure out what we want to act out, if it is an actual story that has happened or make one up." She hoped that made sense as she opened her book and found Grindylows in the table of contents and flipped to the page. "Does that sound okay, she asked Ella and Annabelle.

When Minnie arrived, she received a wave and a smile from the second year. "No worries." She said happily, though she was curious about what Minnie had been looking for. She made a mental note to ask her about it later.

Ella sat quietly as Annabelle helped Minnie with the pronunciation of the word grindylow. Holding out her hands, the second year grabbed a couple of the books that Minnie had found on the subject and placed them in her lap. "I love the library." Ella said thoughtfully, flipping open the book on the top of the pile she now had. She listened as Minnie suggested that the first step be to gather as much information on grindylows from the books and write it down. That sounded like a good way to go about things. "Sure, that sounds like a good plan to me."

Annabelle nodded in agreement with Minnie. Annabelle was already looking through the book for information about Grindylows.

Minerva smiled happy that they were working together, she began to look in the book on her lap. These creatures were so ugly they might just be worse then the pixies she hated so much. Then she heard Annabelle say something she cringed "They eat humans and we were in that lake with them, I swear that our professors are nuts at times." She shook her head as she talked. "Yes I would say they are dark for sure. While we are looking at these, how do you want to act it out any ideas?"

Then she heard Annabelle say something she cringed "They eat humans and we were in that lake with them, I swear that our professors are nuts at times." She shook her head as she talked. "Yes I would say they are dark for sure. While we are looking at these, how do you want to act it out any ideas?"

O__O WHAT? Grindylow's have been known to eat humans?! But they had been swimming in the black lake! Yikes. She nodded her head when Minnie suggested the professors were a bit nuts sometimes, especially after having a class where they had come in close proximity to the human-eaters. *Shudder* "I hope that's not a common thing, the human eating. I mean my book says that they mostly eat fish, algae, and other creatues...so maybe humans are like-a special treat?" Realizing the ridiculousness of her statement, Ella began to giggle, putting a hand over her mouth to try and stifle the laughter. After a few minutes, she was quiet again, ready to move on. As for ideas on how to act out the scene, Ella shrugged. "Well we need to have a wizard or witch and the dark creature, yeah? I don't mind playing a grindylow, actually it might be fun! Whoever the witch or wizard can be themselves and maybe, well we could have two grindylows or two witches or wizards." Ella had a lot of ideas about the play, though they also needed to use spells...which would be tough. "What spells can we use that we know how to do and would be safe for class?

Belle agreed with Minnie about how some of the professors were a little bit nuts. But who says being nuts can be a bad thing sometimes? As for the ideas of acting out the scene, she heard Ella's ideas about it. "Hmm i do not mind playing the Dark Witch. I think it would be fun to dress up as a Dark Witch." Annabelle said happily. "Minnie who would you want to be?" she asked caring about her opinion. Belle didn't really care if she was going to the only Dark Witch and deal with two Grindylows. As for spells, "Hmm i do not know which spell works actually..but i am going through a spell book i bought....." Annabelle said flipping through pages. "I see the Relashio works!" she said happily. "It says it sets out fiery sparks on the creatures." she said as she pointed to the spell in the book.

Cornelius hadn't seen Aspen in about a week and a half. And though he was the one avoiding her out of pure, potent embarrassment that he didn't fully want to explain, every day he had felt a strange tug of longing for the girl who had somehow become the one aspect of Hogwarts he liked the best. He wasn't sure what he had wanted to do; he wanted to see her, but he didn't want to explain. He just wanted her to forget their little conversation and continue on as though nothing had been said. Because he missed her, a lot.

And yet, he kept on avoiding her because... Well, what if she didn't want the same things that he did? What if the next time he saw her, she just wanted to stop seeing him completely? He wasn't sure if he really wanted to deal with that. So he was avoiding her.

And then today, very suddenly, in the middle of his second week of not seeing her around at all, he'd heard something around the Ravenclaw Common Room. Just people talking, mentioning loads of different things. And then out of nowhere, they mentioned Aspen and a version of her fight with Joao, ending of course with Aspen in the fetal position in the middle of the Topiary Garden, crying her eyes out over the pieces of her broken wand. And Cornelius Rune, just a table over at the study tables of the Common Room, had experienced something very new and very strange. It felt as though his heart had fallen out of his chest entirely. And there was...anger, and shame, and worry, and a fierce sense of over-protection that he had never felt ever before.

In the next second, Cornelius was up and running out of the room. How had he not heard about this before?! Why had the rumor mill, of all times, not come through with the latest things going on?! It had already been a few days since this whole duel with Joao had happened, and he hadn't even heard about it until just then! But he didn't give himself much time to think about it, his mind racing for the one place to find Aspen Odessa when she was upset. The library.

So that brings the story back to a panting Cornelius Rune, running straight to the back of the library, to the study lounge in the desperate hopes of finding Aspen. And there she was. Possibly the only thing worse than not finding her was actually finding her and seeing her like this. Curled up on a couch, oblivious to the entire world, completely alone. He was stopped in his tracks.

"Aspen," was all he could really get out, breathless, panting, his lightly tanned expression flushed with pink from the sprint down flights of stairs and down long corridors.

Aspen glanced over her shoulder at her name. She hadn't been expecting anyone and blinked a few times in confusion at the sight of an out-of-breath Cornelius Rune. It took another dazed moment before she was clear-headed enough to sit up.

And another few quiet beats before she began to really see him. He'd been running. Why? She tilted to the side to see if there was someone behind him, maybe chasing him? Racing? ???

No one was there and Aspen straightened back up.

"Why were you running?"
she finally asked, her voice whispery and library appropriate.

Cornelius wasn't really attempting to be library appropriate, and answered her whisper in his normal speaking voice, "I heard..." He paused. What did he hear? That she fought with Joao? That her wand had shattered and she had been crying? Saying all of that out loud somehow seemed a little ridiculous; she already knew what he'd heard. And thinking about it, maybe running wasn't his best choice. It wasn't like he could change what had already happened.

He allowed himself a moment to scan her expression, his light brown eyes attempting to evaluate how she was doing. Obviously not well if she was curled up on a couch in the back of the library. He frowned just slightly as he regained his breath, straightening up as he tried to put a word to the emotion on her face. She looked tired, worn almost. And he didn't quite know what to say. Hi, I just ran through the castle to find you, even though I've avoided you for a good week and a half, and oh also, I've missed you? No! He couldn't say something like that...

"Are you okay?" he settled on, his concern ultimately ending his internal debate for words. Cornelius, now having regained his breath, crossed the study area to the couch she was sitting on and took a seat at her side.

And that was why, among a million other reason, Aspen Odessa was in the library, hiding out. People heard and would hear and would look at her. Maybe even feel sorry for her. Unacceptable.

For probably the millionth time, Aspen wished she could just hear Cornelius's thoughts. He was standing there before her, having thought after thought flash across his face, and what appeared to be doubt, as well, from Aspen's experience with Mr. Rune.

Her eyes trailed him from his awkward standing position to the couch beside her, though Aspen never moved. There was hardly room for his longer legs with all the books she'd laid on the floor below the couch. A book about wands, about legilimens, another on ogres, on bats, a history book about the Death Eaters, and one of her journals, as well.

"I'm not hurt," she... sort of answered. She answered what she figured he wanted to hear anyway.

A Poop * k8 *

Elliot had a million things in her arms today, from huge rolls of parchment to blank banners to posters to quills of ALL sizes, a few different colored inks, and her wand. All shoved neatly into a box. NEATLY, for Elliot couldn't stand clutter.

The common room had become entirely too crowded, plus Elliot hadn't been to the library in ages. It was basically 'fresh air' for the Ravenclaw.

She sighed and plopped down at a table. Time to get started on this horrid assignment for History of Magic...Elliot would so much rather write an essay, or do a demonstration, or even give a SPEECH for Merlin's sake! Art, creativity...was not her forte. But the Ravenclaw would try her best. She unrolled one of the banners. She had an idea of what she wanted to do...it was just putting it into action.

She dipped a quill into a bottle of blue ink and draw a very large circle on the banner. More of an oval, if you ask me, but it will have to do... she thought to herself grimly.

"I'm not hurt," she... sort of answered. She answered what she figured he wanted to hear anyway.

Cornelius's eyebrows rose just slightly as Aspen simply answered him (sort of) explaining that she wasn't hurt. "I'm glad," he admitted quietly, turning to her just slightly. He hadn't thought of that yet... The idea of Joao actually having physically hurt the girl hadn't come into his worry zone yet, still reeling in the idea of her wand crumbling into a thousand pieces. He quickly tried to get back to what he was saying, shelving the unexpected wave of concern with furrowed brows.

"But...that's not really what I asked, was it?" Cornelius added to his previous words softly, his words gentle and mildly playful, flashing her a weak smile. As he caught her eye and before he could really help himself, his light brown eyes were scanning her expression a thousand times over, relishing in the sight of her after having avoided her for so long. Why did he do that again? He couldn't seem to remember, only feeling slight guilt as he observed her current state. She wasn't okay at all.

And he missed her. Not really thinking through anything, he slowly brought up a hand to gently tuck her brown hair behind her ear, his warm hand lingering by her expression momentarily as he searched for what to say first. "...Do you want to talk about it?" he asked softly, though he immediately worried that 'Do you even want to talk to me at all?' would have been a more appropriate question. He looked torn. It was quite obvious that he wanted to be there, to talk to her, to make her feel better and happy once more, but also completely concerned that she didn't want him there at all.

It wasn't a BIG smile, or even a real one, or a good one - but something like a smile, a hint!smile crept onto her face when he called her on her non-answer answer. "I don't know how to answer the question you asked. I'm not hurt, but I missed classes this week, haven't gotten a new wand yet, and I keep reading the same words over and over in every book without comprehending. It's really annoying." She'd also not really spoken to anyone, save for obligatory West conversations, in the last week. She didn't really require someone to talk to, but perhaps this week she had required a chat with someone.

Aspen let him tuck her hair away. It was probably a total mess from all the couch wallowing she'd been doing, but she couldn't really be bothered to care if her hair was decent or not. Cornelius would tuck it away either way, right? "That depends. If you're going to tell me I shouldn't have, and that you were right, then ... no." Otherwise though, yes? Yes, Aspen did want to run some thoughts by him, for him to listen and to maybe keep tucking her hair back, and maybe he'd just stay and hang with her in the library? She scooted his way a little. Inches. Inch.


..and another inch.

Minerva listened to both Ella and Annabelle who both had great ideas. "Well I think Relashio was what we learned last year before we got in the lake with them. So that would be a great one to use and it is safe to use on each other, because Professor Williamson had us practice on each other, remember?" She thought about that lesson, that spell hurt, but it wasn't to horrible. "Well I can do either, be a wizard or a Grindylow, which ever works best. We can act out the lake right here."

..and another inch.
Any hint of a smile that had previously been on Cornelius's expression fell as Aspen explained that she didn't really know how to answer his question. Of course she didn't, Aspen worked with facts. And the facts this time were slightly heart-sinking to the young man who had never known Aspen Odessa to miss a class, let alone to sulk in the library for a week straight. Of course, he didn't know about any of this sooner because he hadn't seen her. Intentionally.

He wanted to smack his own forehead. But he resisted, distracted as she decided she wouldn't share if he was going to suggest that he had been right. His eyebrows rose just slightly. It was funny, he'd almost forgotten that he had been right. He flashed back momentarily to the dinner they'd had the week before, recalling the debate about confronting Joao, about how he thought it was a bad idea. And he'd been right, it was a bad idea. But he couldn't imagine saying anything resembling 'I told you so' around Aspen right then... Looking at her, in her mountains of books, it seemed like the last thing he wanted to say.

"I can't...deny that I wish you hadn't," Cornelius admitted thoughtfully, searching for what exactly he was trying to say. "But that's because I don't like the idea of you upset, not because I want to win." He searched her light eyes, hoping she understood.

"Tell me?" he prompted gently, pausing a moment before deciding to gently set his hand near her own on the couch, should she decide she wanted to take it.

"Tell me?" he prompted gently, pausing a moment before deciding to gently set his hand near her own on the couch, should she decide she wanted to take it.
Aspen just started straight into it. If she waited and thought about what to say, or how to say it, like she normally would - then she'd not ever get it out. So, she just let it spill like how West would tell a story.

"I jinxed him first. He was out on the grounds, I was Sherlocking and thinking about the bench and cushions, and he came up. He had his wand out, so I hid, then he laughed and apologized..and I jinxed him. I just wanted to knock him down so he'd see what it felt like. Then I went and sat on him so he'd not get up. So we could talk. And he asked me if I wanted him to blast my wand, and you know how people just ask dumb questions sometimes? All the time. People ask these questions, they're rhetorical and dumb, and I just thought he was doing that. But I was the dumb one. My wand just... exploded," Aspen's hand moved away from his and went to her cheek where a bigger splinter had gotten her.

"It just... exploded. I tried to pick up the pieces, but there wasn't much left to pick up. It was a curse he meant."

And... the worst part....

...."....I cried." Aspen made a disgusted face. She didn't cry. There wasn't any POINT to it, so she didn't do it. So there. There was that. "I came here to think." And that's where she'd been pretty much since.
