Default Stained Glass Windows



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 On test this year the torches have been replaced by enchanted firefly lamps.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.

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.

These windows were very... artistic.

Yeah, that was the only word coming to his brain at the moment. Milton wasn't an artistic person, so that's as far as it went. Dropping his school bag, Milton flopped into a comfy overstuffed chair and grabbed his book out of his bag. He was doing all he could to focus his attention on studying and NEWTs and not... other things. So there he sat. Alone in the quiet corner of the library.

Addy LOVED the library. She loved it so much that she frequented it every day if possible. So it was no surprise that she wandered through and saw Milton sitting there alone. He was PROBABLY pretending to read... so with a smile she slipped into the seat opposite him and grinned.

"Guess what!" she said with a snortle as she began to dig through her bag. IT WAS SUPER GOOD NEWS AND SHE WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH HER FRIEND (?).

Milton flipped open his book and slung his legs over the armrest of his chair. And he was actually getting it, when he heard someone behind him YELL. Milton jump!twitched and flailed the book right out of his hand. "Merlin's shaggy beard..." Where the hell did she come from? And why did she always just SHOW up out of nowhere?

"You're in love," he said dully, picking up his book from the floor. Just a wild guess.

Why was he acting like a weirdo? She was barely speaking about a whisper... It was a library after all. Geez. She merely eyed him for a moment and then turned her attention back to her bag. WHERE WAS IT?! And then he said something she had not been expecting...

Fumbling with her bag as he surprised her, she dropped it and things went flying everywhere. Groaning she eyed him once more and trying to hide the crazy blush that was coloring her face she ducked under the table and began picking up her things. "Love is a very strong word." This was muttered as she picked the little parcel containing the scarf she had made... and decided to give to Milton. Tossing it toward him she said, "Merry Christmas." He was always so rude she didn't quite understand.

Tucking all of her things back into her bag she picked up the book she had come to read and averted her eyes. It was nothing special... it was merely a Ravenclaw themed scarf with little quidditch goal posts on the ends of it. She had never intended to make it like that... but she ended up doing it and thought who better to give it to? Not that he would APPRECIATE it, she was sure. But whatever.

"Why are you so perpetually grumpy, Milton? Or do you just reserve this demeanor for me? Because all you have to do is tell me and I will shove off. I don't want to bother you ever. I just thought... that we had become something like friends. I misread signs sometimes, though." And no she had no accusatory tone to her voice, nor was she being huffy. She was genuinely curious.

Milton turned his head and watched her fumble with her things for a moment. She was blushing too... Merlin, was he right?! Addy Kennedy was in looooooove? He grinned at her. "It's Hutchinson, isn't it?" He asked, still grinning wide. He had a HUNCH.

Oh. He also had a Christmas present? Milton blinked and inspected the parcel. "Thank you... I, err... I didn't get you anything." He didn't think she would get him anything, so it hadn't really crossed his mind. Milton opened the present to find a nice looking scarf. He smiled when he saw the goal posts. "That's awesome. Thanks, Addy." He grinned at her and threw it around his neck.

But after a moment, she spoke again and it made him almost laugh. Milton sighed and waited for her to finish. "First of all, Addy, I am usually grumpy pretty much all the time. It's not just you. Second of all, I do consider you my friend, so I see no reason for you to 'shove off'. Third... You take me way to seriously." He smiled and lightly punched her arm. "I am probably the least serious person in our House. So I'm sorry that I seem grumpy to you, but that's kind of your fault for taking everything I say and do so literally." He shrugged. It made sense to him.

Addy grumbled a bit and mimicked Milton in a very unflattering manner. "If by Hutchinson, you mean Spike, then yes, he is my boyfriend. But don't say that L word anymore, okay. That's scary," she said with a frown of sorts. Like SERIOUSLY she was only eighteen years old... and Spike was only her second boyfriend, EVER.

"I didn't expect you to. And besides. I made that, so... it's no big deal," she said as she pushed her fringe from her eyes and peeked over the top of her book, a satisfied little smile in place. At least he liked it. That was a good thing. Not to mention it looked nice on him. So yay Addy for making a kind gesture. Teehee.

She listened to him as he spoke and tilted her head in confusion. "Okay. But I don't really know how else to take things." Seriously and literally, that is. And well... "You never struck me as the joking kind. So I never take anything you say lightly," she said with a chuckle.

AND OW! Addy gasped as he punched her arm. It was reflex what happened next. Without thinking about it she kicked at his shin hard. She had an older brother... these things happened. "Ow you turd! That hurt!" She kind of sort of hoped she left a nice welt on his shin. Heh. "And I will try to stop taking you so seriously, but you have to do something for me." Fair trade.

"Oooooh, boyfriend, eh?" Milton wiggled his eyebrows at Addy, but silently agreed not to say the L word again. To be honest, it scared him too. He did like giving Addy a hard time, but it was all fun and games.

Wait, she made it? Milton raised his eyebrows. "Wow. That's... really nice. I don't think anyone's ever made me anything before..." He scrunched up his nose and thought about it... Oh, Anya made him a crepe for Valentine's Day last term, so that was kind of a lie. Oh well.

Milton almost laughed. He didn't strike her as the joking kind? Seriously? "Addy, I am a generally sarcastic, carefree person. You should know that by now. Although..." Now that he remembered, they had only really been friends since the end of last term. And then they didn't see each other all summer, and then summer happened... "I guess I wasn't much myself at the beginning of the term, so that makes sense." Anyway...

OWW. Milton grunted and grabbed his shin protectively. "Bloody hell, psycho - I barely hit you!" That light punch in the arm hardly deserved a shin kick! "I am not a turd," he grumbled, pulling his legs up to the chair and away from the crazy redhead. He watched her carefully... He had to do something for her? "Like what?" he asked suspiciously.

The eyebrow wiggling made Addy squirm uncomfortably and her cheeks blazed BRIGHT red. "Stooooooooop! You're making it sound... something.. I don't know. Spike is a very nice boy. And I like him a lot. And Matilda. And he appreciates my uniqueness and I his." Not to mention he was a great snuggler. Even better than Milton. Ha!

And she felt her cheeks blush again and she shrugged. "It's no big deal, really. Just a few charmed knitting needles and some yarn. Whatever." She really didn't think it was a big deal, but if it meant something to Milton then that made her happy. She was glad to make something for him.

Listening to Milton describe himself she kind of pulled a face and gave him a look. Was that how he identified himself? "You have been grumpy and borderline rude lately, sir. I know now not to take it personally, but I am a bit sensitive so I can't help it sometimes. Not to mention I was going through some things myself. Which kind of added to my being sensitive and all that." Not that she would go into detail about it, but yeah. At least he knew now that she was not always so judgmental or likely to cry at the drop of a hat. Heh.

:O

"We talked about you calling me that..." and she POUTED at him hardcore. "Besides I didn't really mean to do that. It is reflex. I have an older brother. Hitting back is kind of second nature." Besides she was a delicate flower. He had hurt her fair skin whether he knew it or not. The turd.

What did he have to do for her? It was simple really. "You have to do a trick. Something spectacular. Something mind blowing. Now." She was waiting.

Yes, Milton was highly entertained by Addy squirming and blushing like crazy. He enjoyed teasing her about her looooover. He snorted. "Oh, you two are unique, alright." They were both weird, so really it was a perfect match. And now he was done.

Milton smiled appreciatively. "Well, thank you. I like it." And he was going to wear it all day.

"Well, darling, that's just how it is, and I'm sorry if your over-sensitiveness is offended by my uncensored sarcasm." Then he stuck his tongue out at her. Because he was teasing. Again. So, get used to it.

Merlin, he really was grumpy, wasn't he?

And now she was pouting. Milton sighed. "Yes, we did, and it was obviously ineffective." Hah.

Milton raised his eyebrow and stared at her for a moment. She wanted him to do a trick? What did he look like, a pathetic muggle magician. SIGH. Whatever. Milton pulled out his wand, muttered something, and conjured up a bouquet of flowers. They were fake, but still. He did it.

Sooo... first things first. Mo stretched out on the cushioned window seat beneath a random stained glass window, his feet stretched way up over his head as he wondered which shoe he ought to plunder for a shoe lace. He was right footed, so on the off-chance that he would ever suddenly become a football star, he ought to have THAT shoe laced tightly.

So left foot it was. Mo clumsily unlaced his shoe while hanging practically upside down. Where were those girls of his? Or not his girls, but his partner girls. Other people's girls. His friend persons. Meep. Where were Alice and Ella?

Mo tugged his shoelace loose, and his untied shoe promptly fell off and smacked him in the face. Okay, so he deserved that.

Shoelaces.

Ella totally had a handful of them as she made her way towards the stained glass windows. That's where they were meant to be meeting, yeah? Yeah. Oh and she had her text book too cause you never know when you're going to need some guidance and stuff. Mhm.

Spotting the chair leg borrower dude, the blonde smiled and waved the shoelaces at him. OH HAI, MO! And...was he doing yoga? Hm. That was sort of questionable.

"You're flexible." She commented as she plopped down near the boy, eyeing him curiously. "You also lost your shoe." Y'know, in case he hadn't noticed.

"No Hulk yet?" Frown. She wasn't off biting people, was she?

Alice wasn't late, okay? She had just forgotten where they were meeting and taken a little detour to the kitchens for Jelly Slugs while attempting to remember. And then she realized that her wand was still in the common room, so she'd gone all the way back up there. But she was at the stained glass windows now, with one hand wrapped around that magical stick of hers and the other overflowing with candy.

"There's a shoe on your face, Cactus," she commented as she dropped onto the cushioned seat beside him, waving her fistful of candy at Ella. "Want some?" Alice tossed a couple of slugs to both of them- and expected the candy to be caught, on account of Quidditch reflexes and all- and promptly stretched out her legs in front of her. Which beat up trainer was going to lose its shoelace today, hmm? Her fingers began unlacing one of them and pulling it out as she continued speaking. "So what, we just transfigure the umbrellas and go to the classroom to test them out?" She could do that. Especially since Mo was supposed to know the drying spell now, so if she and Ella were drenched, then Cactus could save the day.

"Okay, ready," she told them. "Does one of you want to go first?" Because.. well, to be honest, she didn't exactly remember the spell.

"Maybe I like it there," Mo sat up and scooted back to make room for both girls, putting his empty shoe on top of his head to balance as he nommed the handful of the jelly slugs that Her Highness offered to him. He was still thinking deep thoughts about what he wanted to even do with his shoelace... he only had the one, after all.

"Where'd you get all those?" Mo nodded to the pile of shoelaces that Ella had brought with her. It seemed like maybe none of her shoes even had laces anymore at the rate she was collecting them.

"We're not just supposed to transfigure and go. We have to make the umbrella personal and... something something. We have to be able to write an essay about it." He held up his shoelace so they could all admire it. "I don't know how to personalize an umbrella. What do you think?"

Shoe hat? That was different. "You'll mess your nice hair, y'know." O__o Didn't he know this? Meep! His poor hair! And her attention was torn between the delicate matter of hair ruining and jelly slugs which she now had a lot of thanks to Hulk. NOM! "Thanks, my Hulk." And a salute for the Queen. BEAM!

"I sort of borrowed them?" And between her shoes and Sophie's, Ella had quite the collection. "Soph won't mind, she encourages homework and such." Cause y'know, how could the Charm's Queen be mad at Ella for trying to master a spell? She totally couldn't.

A personalized umbrella...Mo was right, you couldn't simply say the incantation and get the perfect one. You had to put some thought into it. "Well I made myself an Ellaphant umbrella in class after a couple of tries." No big deal, or anything. "The trick is to really think about what you're trying to make. You kind of have to visualize it clearly in your mind first and then do the spell work." Or at least that's how it worked for her. "I think...I'll make an ice cream one this time. Or like...a gummy worm one." Because both of those things represented Ella really well.

Cactus would mess up his hair, wouldn't he? And Alice very much liked his hair, but she wasn't going to comment. "Oh. Well, I've only got one shoelace," she stated, waving it around proudly. "So if I mess this up, which I probably will, I can just reverse it a bunch of times, yeah?" That spell, the reversal one, she had it down. Good thing, too, or this assignment would take ages.

"You personalized your class one, too?" She stared at Ella rather blankly, hoping that her own umbrella would turn into something more than the boring red one she'd conjured up in the lesson. "You made yours special in class, didn't you, Cactus?" Her empty gaze shifted over to him as he stated that he didn't know how to personalize one. "The clouds. And the stars. Just do something like that again." Mo could even make his double-sided, so it wasn't like he would have any issues, right? "I'm.. I'm going to focus on making mine water resistant on the first try this time and just hope the pattern comes." Because she just didn't have enough talent with that wand to think about the pattern and the water, you know? It was difficult enough as was.

Mo grinned stupidly at the girls, mostly because Ella said he had nice hair and Queen Alice complimented his umbrella from class, even though it hadn't glowed in the dark the way he wanted. The third year Ravenclaw removed his shoe from his head, giving his hair an embarrassed little ruffle before he slipped the shoe back on his foot.

"Maybe I'll make it look like Titus." He was a devoted bunny daddy, after all, even if bunnies were supposedly a lame pet. Not Titus, though. Titus was epic. "With ears." Although he wasn't sure how extra fabric on the umbrella would work out. His might end up looking like a chipmunk face or a gopher instead of a bunny.

"So then..." Mo laid out his shoelace on the bench and gave it a penetrating look. What was the incantation again? "Protegamur Aqua?" Was that even right? BE BOLD... even if he accidentally blew up the library a tiny bit. "Protegamur Aqua!" His shoelace took off like a shot, practically exploding as it thickened and solidified. The top seemed to sprout like branches from a tree - an enormous tree with terrifying googly eyes and giant buck teeth. Mo yelped in terror and fell off his bench.

Mo's hair ruffle reminded Ella of Alec and she smiled a little before looking down at her handful of shoelaces. And Hulk only had one? "You guys can use some of these if you need to." Cause she only had about like...8 and plus teamwork and all that jazz.

"Well I...yeah. Is that weird?" And the blonde frowned slightly, eyeing Alice. She just felt like experimenting, okay? And she loved elephants so of course that's the first thing she wanted to make. And Titus? Well she didn't know who or what Titus was but she approved of the name cause it was pretty epic. Mhm. "That sounds like a good plan." She offered encouragingly. Oh and hey, they were getting started.

O___________O

The fifteen year old watched as Mo made his first attempt and some kind of weird killer umbrella woodchuck was formed. BLINK. And he'd fallen too...which wasn't good. "Merlin! Are you okay?" Cause like...he was on the ground. And his poor hair was seriously taking a beating today. And meep! They were making a lot of noise in the library, yeah? Weretheygoingtogetintroubleforthis?

...

And once everyone had collected themselves, Ella decided it was her turn to give it a go. She bit her lip nervously as she smoothed out one of the laces on the bench in front of her. Then the badger closed her eyes and pictured a pink umbrella with different colored sprinkles and a cherry on the tip. Yup, an ice cream umbrella. Opening her eyes again, she focused on the shoelace and raised her wand. "Protegamur Aqua!"

Then slowly but surely an umbrella started to form. First the hooked handle and the rod and then the pink fabric. Hmmm. "No sprinkles." She said quietly with a frown. Yeah, she was gonna call this one a fail.

"Titus has the cape. Would the umbrella have one of those, too?" That seemed like an okay question to Alice, 'cause it was definitely plausible that umbrellas could have capes, right? Her thoughts shifted elsewhere, though, as Ella started offering shoelaces and Mo began casting spells. Oh. Were they starting now, then? She pulled her legs up on the cushioned window seat, crossing them Indian style and watching her friends work instead of beginning right of the bat. Because she WANTED to, you know?

And it was good she did, too, because she had a very lovely of Cactus creating a terrifying woodchuck umbrella thing. "That looks kind of cool, you know. I'd buy it," Alice told him encouragingly as she hopped off her seat and offered him a hand. And when she turned back to Ella, the Hufflepuff had formed an umbrella, as well. "It looks nice, too. Even without the sprinkles."

Was it her turn now? "Protegamur Aqua. That's right, yeah?" It must have been. "Protegamur Aqua." JABBITY JAB with the wand. She payed attention carefully as her shoelace exploded in a way, thickening and stretching out. First the hooked handle solidified, and from it sprouted little metal arms. And then.. nothing. "It's a naked umbrella," she said dully, sighing at the bare frame. Such a disappointment. "Umbrella's aren't really useful anyway. Hmph," Alice muttered as she pointed her wand at the former shoelace. "Reverto."

That spell she could do, thank goodness.

His umbrella was fully terrifying. It loomed over him on the floor, and it stared into his SOUL like it was hungry for... soul. Plus it didn't have a cape, as noted by Queen Alice. Mo rubbed his bum rather sulkily over the disastrous attempt, although it settled to something more like grim determination when Alice offered a hand up. No sulking over something as silly as the most terrifying... umbrella ever.

"I like it without sprinkles, but we have time if you want to try again," Mo offered gallantly to Ella. Mostly because he knew what it was like to make something that wasn't exactly what he'd pictured, but was good enough. He would still want to try to make it perfect.

It was hard not to look at Alice's attempt. In fact, Mo did look. He looked and looked and looked, puzzling over how to find the silver lining and try to make her feel better. She held her wand really well. And she had a very nice speaking voice. And... erm... "I think you've perfected the handle, though. I've never seen a better handle in my entire life, and I've seen lots of handles. Mug handles and pot handles and door handles and all sorts."

Ahem. "I'd rather be wet anyway." Ahemahem moving on. "D'you suppose I could borrow a shoelace, Ella? I think I want to give this monstrosity to Mr. Firth to scare things out of his pumpkin patch." Since it was terrifying and all.

Failing wasn't fun. Not that Ella hadn't made a nice pink umbrella but still, it wasn't what she wanted. Frown. She was being kind of a baby about this, huh? The fifteen year old shook it off and gave a weak smile to Hulk and Mo, appreciating their kindness. "Thanks, you two. ...I guess pink is okay." She said quietly, picking up her work and observing it. "But yeah...I'm going to try again." Because she wanted sprinkles, for Merlin's sake, and she wasn't going to stop until she got them. Pointing her wand at her creation she shrugged and said, "Reverto!"

Poor Hulk seemed a bit defeated and Ella wasn't happy about that. Unfortunately, she couldn't exactly write an umbrella a mean letter and making lame attempts at insulting it seemed silly. "Erm Hulk? I bet that could do some serious whacking with that, y'know. The handle is especially nice so you'll get a good grip while you swing it." Mini!Beam! Cause she liked to whack stuff, yeah? She was practically a pro as far as Ella was concerned and she hoped that comment helped...at least a little.

A monster woodchuck umbrella scarecrow? Grin! "I think that's a brilliant idea." She said seriously, handing Mo a shoelace. She then focused on her own again, raising her wand and making the line and triangular movement. Come on Ella, concentrate. "Protegamur Aqua!"

And there before her eyes formed the best looking pink umbrella she'd ever seen...and this time it had sprinkles too! BEAM! Orange, yellow, green, and blue.

Were they really commenting on the handle? "Hm, yeah, the handle's just brilliant," Alice agreed satirically as she twirled the shoelace- the one that was transfigured into an umbrella and was now all stringy again- around her fingers. "Thanks, though." But it wasn't like handles were the important parts of an umbrella, anyway. No, that was the part that she'd left out.

"That would make a good scarecrow. Very terrifying." She echoed Ella's words of encouragement to Mo as she prepared to cast the spell once more. "Protegamur Aqua." Alice stared at the lace in anticipation as it thickened and solidified, first stretching out and then curving into a handle. Hm, they were right. She DID make lovely handles, didn't she? And then little metal arms sprouted from the top again. Even better, they were covered with stuff! Umbrella stuff, if she wasn't mistaken.

She grinned with pride at making a proper functioning umbrella, though it was just plain and coloured like a marigold, with no pattern whatsoever. Still, it was better than a naked umbrella, right? "I'm going to try again, but I don't want to reverse it." 'Cause, you know, that might have been her only successful umbrella of the day and she didn't want to ruin it if it was. "D'you suppose I could have a shoelace, Ells?"

Mo propped up the wild wooly chipmunk umbrella against a bookcase, knowing that if anyone came too quickly around that corner, they'd get scared out of their socks. Socks and shoes both, if they had a rodent phobia. What was that called, anyway? When he turned back to Alice and Ella, both of them had managed to create very impressive umbrellas. Ella's looked good enough to eat, this time with a rainbow of sprinkles over the entire umbrella. And Alice's had an actual top this time, in a bright sunny shade that he would probably forever after associate with Her Highness.

And now it was his turn again. The first to go was the last to come up with a useable umbrella, although it looked like Alice was going to make another pass at hers. He accepted the shoelace from Ella and stretched it out on the bench, this time crouching in front of it and giving the shoelace a very serious and solemn face. BEANUMBRELLAOKAY? "Protegamur Aqua!" Mo drew the almost-square with his wand and tried to picture Titus in his head. Not really the rabbit version, but an umbrella version with fabric ears and maybe even a bushy tail. Just the right size for a third year, not this huge golf-umbrella-for-giants thing.

The shoelace moved more slowly this time, taking on length and shape and sprouting at one end until the parts had all shifted into place. Mo scooped the thing up and opened his umbrella indoors (very bad luck, but only for people who believed in luck), and the goofy bunny face with ears grinned down at them. It even had a tail. "I did it, I think!" Now Alice's turn, and then water, right?

Now that Ella had successfully made her umbrella she felt much better and she smiled encouragingly at Mo and Alice as they created theirs. "It's a pretty color, Hulk." She commented on the umbrella her friend had created, smiling at it. And then Mo made the most adorable umbrella she'd ever seen next to her elephant one, of course and the blonde giggled. "That's brilliant." And cute. Did she mention the umbrella was really cute? Grabby hands.

The fifteen year old then handed Alice another shoelace and waited for her to give it another shot. "You can totally do this, yeah?" She said seriously, nodding at the girl. And then they could all go and test these out, yeah?

That umbrella Cactus had made really did resemble Titus, with a tail and everything. And maybe after they tried them out with the water, he could tie a cape on, too. But Alice had her OWN umbrella to make. Shooting Ella a grateful smile, she took the shoelace from her friend and pointed her wand at it for, hopefully, the last time. "Protegamur Aqua!"

The handle elongated and thickened as it had the first two times, except now it was the bright marigold colour that her previous umbrella had been. When the metal arms sprouted from the top and covered themselves in the same sunny material, Alice couldn't help but smile. It had worked. Stiff fabric ears popped out from it, and black, beady eyes were etched into the covering. The creation was even a complete with a white muzzle, whiskers, and a pink nose in the same shade of Ella's sprinkle-y umbrella. "I think it's supposed to be a lion, if I'm not mistaken." The only thing left to do now was see if their former shoelaces could hold up against water now, right?

"Shall we go test these out, then?" Without waiting for a reply, she folded up her umbrella and proceeded to lead them upstairs to the Transfiguration classroom. "And let's hope we don't get soaked this time around."
