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 and tables 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. Just, make sure they aren't muddy!
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.
Okay, so Caelen wanted to study a bit of.... everything. She asked her aunt for some stuff and she had textbooks to go through and she wasn't going to be able to do this without some elbow grease. Which was the worlds grossest term by the way. She always thought of oil.
Throwing her bag onto the ground, she got out the books and propped them on the table. At least this place was cozy. The redhead was sure she would just die if the place wasn't at least a tiny bit comfy. Just die.
Anyway, the redhead took out the herbology notes from her journal and a piece of parchment. She was going to have to copy everything down. Because her other notes were impossible to read.
Dipping her quill into the ink, she started jotting everything down, setting it aside when she was done. She was going to have a lot of work to do.
Letting the ink dry on the notes, Caelen picked up her Herbology textbook and flipped it open. She felt like such a dork! She was like the only one studying in this place, though she was almost sure that more Ravenclaws were taking up the same action as she.
It took forever to read through... whatever the lesson was. The firstie didn't even know she had this much focus in her.
She continued for a while until she got bored and decided to wander around the castle. The redhead would continue learning later. Right now she had to get up and flex her legs.

Louis had to use both hands to carry the small mountain of books he had gathered from the bookshelves, most of them thick and bursting with every possible detail anyone could ever need to know about Herbology. One of the boy's weakest subjects.
Since the stack of books came up to the Gryffindor's chin, he had a hard time seeing past the cover of the top-most volume. He approached a nearby empty table, leaned over slightly, and released all 12 books.
With an obnoxious amount of noise, the dozen books fell straight to the floor, only a couple inches from the table, some of them falling in a perfect angle that guaranteed their landing on the boy's toes. OW. Louis had to roll his right hand into a fist and bite at his knuckles for a moment to keep himself from yelping. Who needs unforgivable curses when you can just throw books at people?! Not that he'd condone throwing books around like arrows but for Circe's sake had that HURT!
No time to whine, though. It wouldn't be long until someone arrived and kicked him out for causing such a ruckus, or worse yet, damaging school property. Though the books were still in perfect condition; but the same couldn't be said for his toes. Quickly, the Gryffindor boy began picking up the books from the floor and placing them - very carefully - on the table.

Feeling that she needed to brush up on Ancient Runes, Lux had made her way to the library again in order to get some peace and quiet. Carrying a few books she hoped would be helpful in hand, she approached the little study area and found a nice table to set her stuff upon.
Getting ready to sit down and read, she noticed a boy who had seemed to have hurt himself picking up a bunch of books from the floor. And boy did those books look heavy. Feeling sorry for the poor boy, she walked over and started helping him pick them up and put them on his table. "Are you okay?" Because if he had really hurt himself, she could go with him to the Nurse.

Louis looked up as a new pair of hands began to pick up the books he had dropped on the floor. UHOH. Was it the librarian?! Had she come to pick up the heaviest book to then hit him on the head with it for dropping the library's prized possessions?
Nope. It was a girl entirely too young to be a librarian. Louis sighed in relief. Picking up the last of the books, he got back up to his feet. "Thanks." When the girl asked if he was okay, he glanced down at his feet for a brief second before looking up at her again. "I'm fine. Might've cracked a bone in my toe but I think I'll live," he said with a dark chuckle. Yeah, no, that incident hadn't been funny at all. But he wasn't going to complain about it.
"I'm Louis, by the way." He might as well introduce himself.

It was a good thing that all of the books were picked up now. Offering the boy a smile, Lux was not sure if she really believed that he was totally fine. "Are you really sure you don't need to see the Nurse?" Because it would be a really bad thing if he was seriously injured and she did nothing to help him even if he was saying he was fine. She knew that sometimes boys tended to do silly things, and perhaps he was now?
"Nice to meet you, Louis! I am Lux." Now that she thought about it, he looked to be the boy who she had seen with Bay in Defence Against the Dark Arts class earlier.

"Positive," Louis replied with a confident nod when the young girl asked if he really didn't need the nurse. Nahhh. He wasn't going to go to the hospital wing just for a toe. Nothing a quick spell couldn't fix anyway.
Anyway.
The girl was introducing herself now. Lux? Interesting name. He liked it. "Nice meeting you, too," he replied with a smile, offering the girl a handshake. It was as he stretched his hand out, that Louis noticed the strange texture on his skin. Without realizing that he was probably being super rude by snatching his hand back before Lux could even touch it, Louis brought the back of his hand close to his face and examined all the fine little lines that had begun to texture his skin.
Um.
Where had THAT come from?
Louis brought up his other hand and examined it. It was the same thing! He was even getting spots on his skin, like those he'd seen on his grandfather and other people the old man's age. Ashamed of the unusual state of his hands, Louis hid them away in his pockets. It was probably just a temporary thing that would go away if he put some lotion on them or something.
Soooo.
"Uh. Sorry about that. So which House are you in?" But in all honesty, the Gryffindor wasn't really all that into the conversation anymore. The sight of his old wrinkly hands had left him rather disturbed.

Well, if he was sure he was okay...
"Would you like a Chocolate Frog instead?" Obviously not in the library because they would get into trouble, but she could still give him one later on. Seeing him hold out his hand, she moved to shake it when he suddenly pulled it away. Okay, that was weird and confusing. Why was he hiding his hands in his pockets?
"Errr... it's fine. I'm in Hufflepuff. What House are you in?" Louis seemed to be kinda... off suddenly. Or well, what she assumed to be off, since she had only met him and naturally had no idea what it was like to be around him normally.

Louis's large blue eyes lit up at the mention of chocolate frogs. "You've got chocolate frogs?" he asked in a low voice, as if he and Lux were making some shady business deal no one else was supposed to know about. "I mean, if you're willing to share... yeah, I won't say no." MMM. The boy loved chocolate frogs.
He couldn't help feeling a little guilty, though, for suddenly acting like a weirdo a minute ago. Lux seemed a little confused.
"I'm in Gryffindor," replied Louis. "Fifth year. But I just transferred, so it's really just my first year here at Hogwarts."

Lux giggled as Louis' eyes widened at the mention of Chocolate Frogs. People tended to do that, since they were so yummy. She totally was addicted to them, and she wanted Willa to keep with the candy packages so she would never run out. "Yeah, I will share with you!" She had absolutely no problems with sharing when it was for a friend or someone who was sad or injured.
Deciding to pretend the awkwardness never happened, Lux jumped at the new topic of conversation. "I am a transfer too, but in my Second Year, and you are just like my friend, Bay!" Wow, that was so cool and Bay was the absolute best.

"Ah, you're the best!" Louis grinned when Lux said she'd share her chocolate frogs with him. That was definitely nice of her; he doubted he'd be sharing much if he had his own chocolate frogs. Nope, he'd probably just stuff them all in his mouth and leave none left for anyone else.
As the girl went on to share that she, too, was a transfer student, the Gryffindor raised his eyebrows. Plenty of transfers here in Hogwarts, huh. Well, that made him feel better. At least he wasn't the only one still new to the whole experience.
"You know Bay?" Louis seemed surprised when she mentioned the familiar name. He grinned and ran a hand through his hair absentmindedly, momentarily forgetting about keeping his hands hidden. "I just met him recently. Real nice bloke. Funny, too." As he brought his hand back down from his head, Louis's grin faded abruptly as he saw: HIS HAND WAS COVERED IN HAIR. HIS HAIR.
WHAT?!
Panicked, Louis pulled very gently at a few strands of hair, only to find them fall right off and into his hands. And as if that wasn't bad enough in itself, half of those hairs were grey!

"What is going on?!"
Lux highly doubted that she was the best, but smiled at him none-the-less. "I am sure that you would share yours with me." She was just being nice and making sure that he got some chocolate after he had hurt himself. Chocolate was very good for that, which was why she was going to give Professor Flamsteed a Chocolate Frog when she came by to give him his get well card and big Lux hug.
"I love Bay. He was my first friend at Hogwarts. And he looks out for me. He even lets me have sleep overs with his Pygmy Puff!" Bay, Sander, and Tessa were so nice to her, and she did not know what she would do without them.
Watching Louis run his hand through his head, she went mellow as what looked to be grey hairs came off and onto his hand. "Don't you think you are a little young for that?" Seriously, what was going on here with all these students?!

"Riiight, about that..." Louis muttered, looking unsure as Lux assumed that he would share his chocolate frogs with her. But then he chuckled. "I'm kidding. Yeah, I'd share my chocolate frogs with you. I think you've earned that much." She'd helped him in his time of need, showed concern, AND offered to share delicious treats. How could he not return the favour?
The boy listened as Lux went on to describe her friendship with Bay, blue eyes curious. "Sleep with his pygmy puff?" he repeated, eyebrow raised. "I didn't know Bay had a pygmy puff..." He didn't seem like the kind of guy that would walk around carrying one of those fluffy little creatures with him. Pygmy puffs were cute, though; he could see why anyone would get one. And why Lux would have it for sleepovers. It was kind of sweet. "That's really nice of him."
And as for the grey hair...
Too young for it? Of course! He was just fifteen, for Circe's sake! A mere baby!
"Is it noticeable?" the boy asked, pulling his hair back with one hand so Lux could take a better look at his roots. WHY was he growing grey hairs?! Despite his panic, he DID realize: he was not alone. He remembered in his last class how half the students looked at least thirty years older than they should've. What was this all about!?

Lux laughed when Louis joked with her. She sure would hope that he would share with her, because not sharing was something mean people did, and she was sure that Louis was a very nice person. "Well, as soon as we are done in here, we can have chocolate!" She respected the library and librarian too much to eat anything inside it.
"Mmm, special sleep overs because I love Ziggy and Bay is like my big brother." So she got special Pygmy Puff time which was awesome and even better when she did not have a Pygmy Puff of her own. It was a good thing she had not managed to lose Ziggy even once, because even though he was so nice to her and never got mad at her, she was still worried that if that happened she might lose her privileges.
Poor Louis! Lux frowned as she looked at his head closely, running her fingers through his hair. This was something that she did not normally do, but given the circumstances, she wanted to help him out as much as she could. "I'm sorry, but your roots are really grey. Like... more of them are than not." It was really weird because he was only 15. "Are you stressed about anything? Because I heard that stress can cause someone to get grey hair."

"Sounds like a plan," Louis agreed with a nod as Lux decided they could have chocolate only after they were outside of the library. As the girl went on about loving 'Ziggy' and Bay being like a big brother to her, he furrowed his brows slightly. "Ziggy's his pygmy puff's name, right?" 'Cause if she was talking about having a 'special sleepover' with an actual person named Ziggy with whom she was in love, then... well. He wasn't one to judge.
It was the girl's next words that crushed his soul. He had more grey hairs than brown hairs?! How could this be?! As she asked if he was stressed, the boy shrugged his shoulders.
"I mean... I guess I've been a little stressed about coming to a new school and kind of... having to start all over again... but not enough to be getting grey hair about it! And now I'm even more stressed because of the grey hair!" It was a vicious cycle! "I can't believe I'm going to have to start dying my hair this young." Sad, sad day this was. And he didn't even know how to do that. "You wouldn't happen to know any charms or potions for hair-dying, would you?" Lux was a girl, maybe she'd know about that kind of stuff? He did feel rather ridiculous asking.

It made Lux happy that the Chocolate Frog thing was all sorted now. "Yes, his Pygmy Puff is called Ziggy." Who else would Ziggy be? Silly Louis!
Poor poor Louis. Taking her hands out of his hair, she sighed. "I am sure everything will be okay. Though I really do want to know what is happening here. I'm sure that everything will be back to normal soon and your hair won't be grey anymore." Hopefully that would help him feel a little better even though things seemed bad at the moment. "I'm sorry. I wish I could help with that."

So Ziggy was the pymy puff. Oh, okay. That made more sense. "Got it," muttered the boy, nodding his head. He'd have to remember to ask Bay later on about this famous pygmy puff. He wanted to see it.
As the Hufflepuff went on to assure him that everything would be fine, Louis gave her a smile. He wasn't as confident that these strange symptoms would go away overnight, but he appreciated her good wishes. "You don't think the nurses would happen to know anything about a solution for this, would they?" 'Cause if they did, there would be a LOT less grey-haired students. The fact that this weird situation seemed to be out of the school's control rather terrified the Gryffindor boy.

"Mmm, he is so cute. He is blue." She was sure that Louis would meet Ziggy one day if he kept talking to Bay.
Lux bit her lip as he asked her a really good question. "I'm not sure if she does, but if not, one of the Professors might." then again, if that was the case she was sure that the problem would have been dealt with already. Huh. Why were things so weird here? Was it like that every Term? "Whatever it is, I'm sure everything will be fine soon enough. You just have to stay positive." Lux was starting to wonder why everyone around her was showing weird symptoms, yet she was not. Or at least, she didn't seem to be as of yet.

Louis seemed amused as Lux gushed about little Ziggy. "If I was Bay I'd be a little worried one of my Hufflepuff friends would try to kidnap my pygmy puff," he teased. And yes. Lux, you are that Hufflepuff.
As Lux guessed that perhaps a professor might have the solution to the strange problem, Louis's thoughts were the same as hers: if a professor did indeed have the solution, he or she would've made it known already, and everyone would be on their way back to good health. But such hadn't been the case. Sadly.
"It's all I can do," said Louis with a shrug as Lux suggested he just stay positive. But... that was a little hard to do when you were fifteen years old with a head full of grey hair. He needed a distraction. "Yeah, I don't think I'm going to be able to get any reading done while I'm still thinking about this." He pointed at his hair. "I think I'm going to head out." But first he needed to put those books back. He began to pick them up off the table and turned to Lux once again, "Are you staying?"

... ... Studying.
Yeah. No.
Alec was all sorts of unhappy about this but he knew that it had to be done. After the last disaster of a visit with his girlfriend, he did think that he should at least give this 'studying in the library' idea another shot. It wasn't a bad idea, yeah? What was bad was how far away this place was from the common room. Four floors and numerous staircases was too much for this eighteen year old who had huffed and puffed all the way up to the library. To study. Still not happy.
Heading up to the library had been another one of those incidents he had been having recently; one where he was walking down a corridor and his grey-blue eyes had landed on his reflection and... what he saw hadn't pleased him. So, he was in the library for another mission: to find someone with a mirror. Mirrors were better and the windows here had patterns and stained glass on them so...
Slooooooowly zig-zagging his way past bookshelves and other bookcases, the Hufflepuff headed over towards the comfiest area in the library. Comfort was important for studying and for his still-aching back. And the area didn't seem to be as busy as it would be closer towards May. Good. ... Or maybe not if he was looking for someone who'd have a mirror.
Letting his bag drop to the floor, the boy flopped down in the armchair, letting out a small, content sigh as he did so. Comfortable, this was. So much so that he even...

But first he needed to put those books back. He began to pick them up off the table and turned to Lux once again, "Are you staying?"
Lux rolled her eyes in amusement. "I don't think he even considers that. He said it was even fine if I lost him because he's wandered off before." Not that it meant she wouldn't keep a close eye on Ziggy, she just figured that Bay was so laid back about things. He never even got mad at her when she made him eat a cucumber sandwich and he threw up.
Frown. "It could be stress. I don't know... I'm not showing any symptoms." At least she wasn't as of yet. A lot of her friends were, as were her classmates, but she was still.... the same old Lux. No greying hair, no wrinkles, she wasn't tired all the time, she didn't have joint issues, and she was not moody. Was it because she wasn't stressed? She had no idea.
Distracted by her thoughts, it took her a moment to realize he was speaking to her again. "I'll go with you so we can have the Chocolate Frogs if you don't mind." She would just need a few minutes to put back the books she had taken out. She could always come back later, and she wanted to talk to Louis some more. Of course if he wanted to head back to his Common Rooms, she wouldn't say no.

"Bay sounds like a forgiving soul," Louis observed with a smile as Lux explained that the Gryffindor boy wouldn't be upset with her if Ziggy ran off. Though he didn't know that much about Bay, Lou had a feeling his fellow Lion held a soft spot for the sweet little Hufflepuff girl. He could see why, though.
As Lux went on to mention how she didn't have any symptoms of sudden senioritis, the boy raised his dark eyebrows. "Consider yourself fortunate." He would give anything to be young again. And this weird illness hadn't even gone on for an entire day yet!
Whawasdat? Chocolate frogs? Did Lux mention the keyword once again?
Louis grinned, his very slightly wrinkled face lighting up at the girl's suggestion. "I like the way you think, Ms. Lux. I'll help you put your books back." Louis pulled out his wand and sent the smaller, lighter books back to their original places in the bookshelves with a simple spell. He wasn't skilled enough to risk the same spell with bigger, heavier books though, so he took those in his hands instead.

The Library. AGAIN.
Delilah sighed in annoyance as she made her way to the fourth floor, adjusting the strap of her bag that was slung over her shoulder. She didn't like the fact that she had to study so much but it was worth it in the long run, yeah? The girl definitely did NOT want to be failing her OWL's. But still. Maybe she'll cut down her study time today. Only an hour or so.
The girl finally reached the study area when...
Alec was napping comforably on one of the many armchairs that were scattered around the area. The Head Boy was napping in the library. Why did she find this so funny? She almost burst out laughing at this scene.. but didn't. She didn't want to disturb him or anything. The girl smiled to herself and sat down in another armchair nearby and took out her Ancient Runes textbook.

Time to read.
Snoozing, he was. Laying back in the armchair with his legs draped over the arms of the armchair. He didn't even know how long he had been laying there with his mind in a dreamland. Dreamland... where he was wandering around happily until he found himself... surrounded by mirrors. And leaning closer, there it was. The thing he was dreading. Right... in... his hair...
... "N-no..."
Letting out a small grumble, Alec shifted onto his side with his back facing the back of the armchair. Of course there was no one sitting nearby. Not according to the eighteen year old who, happily, tried to force his brain to think of something else. Something much better and happier than mirrors and what could be seen in them. Or what he could end up seeing if he looked in one. ... No. Something else. Something like...

"Pancakes..."
Delilah looked up from her book, frowning a little. She could hear the boy muttering.. wait. Did he say pancakes? Was he dreaming about pancakes or something? Pancakes, she loved them. Who didn't? It was one of her favourite breakfast foods.. and she wondered if they were Jeremy's too.. Anyway.
She eyed Alec curiously for a moment before slowly getting up. Still holding the book in her hand, she made her way over to him and leaned down a little. Maybe she could hear more of what he was mumbling in his sleep? So that she could tease him about it later?
