And runes...that he thought he he deciphered, though had no idea what it meant. Having had searched a great deal through the small library in the Ravenclaw tower, the seventh year decided it was time to take another trip to the library. So much more information in here.
Slowly making his way down the aisles, his eyes searched out for any history, creature, or spell book his eyes could lay upon and tried figured which one would really help him. Might as well take all of them? There could be information he missed and, well some of these books he had never seen before. They were fascinating. Holding about six or seven books, he continued towards the area where he had spoken to Rhea once before. That seemed like a rather comfortable place to do his studying.
But, it was already occupied? Pausing just at the end of an aisle, his blue eyes lingered on the blond beauty, staring at the smile on her lips. Interesting book? Placing his own pile on the table next to him, he moved forward a bit, sliding his hands into the pockets of his uniform pants. "Ze color, it looks très beau on you." he said quietly, his smile widening just a bit as his gaze went over the orange dress. It was nice.
Cosette could see movement from the corner of her eye as she read over the same paragraph for the third time. What was with her? She couldn't even read properly, her head was in such a whirl. Hearing a voice come from the side of her view, she grabbed her wand from behind her ear and moved fast, her left leg standing at a slant and her right knee kneeling on the sofa. Her free arm was propped on sofa while her right arm was pointing her wand at her unknown approacher. Oh. It was Noel. Feeling a slight flush take on her features, she nodded her head to him before standing up straight and patting down her dress.
"Noel, I am zo zorry." She had lashed out on instinct and didn't even notice it was him. She needed to work on that, people always seemed to be sneaking up on her.
Biting her lip, she tucked away a few fly away blond curls before she smiled and looked down at her dress. Also the toppled Dark Arts book that had flew onto the ground when she got up.
"Oh, merci." Feeling completely embarrassed, especially in front of him, she let out a soft chuckle before moving closer to him.
"Been studying a lot? I 'ave not zeen you." Then again, she had been doing work work work in the girls dorm. She looked over at the toppling tower of books he had brought over. Placing a hand on his cheek, she smiled. Why had she gotten so mixed up with a guy who was just to good to be true? She had no idea what had gotten ahold of her. Shaking herself, on the inside, she cleared her throat before taking her hand off him and placing it in his hand.
"Come, you muzt sit and be merry wiz me before you go off into ze tazk, oui?" She smiled, pulling him over towards the sofa and sitting back the way she was before, her legs and feet tucked under her as she laid out her dress over her. She felt so unlike herself and yet she was.. liking it.
