Hogwarts RPG Name: Cameron Rhodes Ravenclaw Fourth Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Phoebe Calypso [s]Dupont[/s] Slytherin Seventh Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Charlie Fox-Matthews Hufflepuff Second Year | Which came first, the phoenix or the flame? SPOILER!!: Phoenix Quote:
Originally Posted by emjay Phoenix was an avid reader and the Hogwarts library was more than sufficient for his voracious reading appetite. In fact, as he discovered last term, it had been beyond his wildest imagination. It was the best library he had ever seen. But the book nook in the common room was also pretty cool. It was a little more intimate and cozy, but it still had plenty of cool books. Plus he really liked to do his homework here and even play a game of chess.
Today he was just perusing the shelves for something interesting or something he hadn't read yet. The faded spine of a black book didn't really seem out of the ordinary nor did it seem particularly striking, but he couldn't quite read the title and the second year started to pull it from the shelf. But what happened next was completely unexpected.
As he pulled, the bookshelf seemed to pivot and open, revealing a hidden room behind it. "Whoa," he said lowly, surprised at the revelation. Did anyone else know about this? Why hadn't anyone told him about this secret room before? And was it just a room or did it lead somewhere? Phoenix stepped inside to investigate. This was one of the best studying/painting/crying spots in the castle. Ash needed quiet to focus, and the book nook was perfect for that. She was perched on top of the table, making up her potions homework. She should have done it yesterday... but she had been tired... and dizzy... and everything really hurt... and she had to leave her lessons early and ask for an extension on her homework for today. Now, feeling a lot better, she was working diligently so that her teachers would know that she really had been sick and she wasn't trying to skip work. She was pausing occasionally to draw on her limbs with a marker, but that was pretty much her maximum focus setting, alright? She was doing her homework.
She glanced up as someone entered, then went back to working. Then paused again, realizing she knew the someone at least by face and name. "Hi Phoenix... I see you've discovered my favorite homework spot." Though she didn't look up, her tone was friendly. Phoenix was nice enough and deserved a greeting even if she was busy. |
