A great number of floor-to-ceiling bookshelves fill the library, creating rows and aisles of books available for students to read and check out. When returning books to the higher shelves, just hold up the tome and the shelves will take care of the rest; there's a spell on the shelves which summons the returned book to the correct place. Of course, when retrieving a book, they don't 'know' what you're looking for, so those who aren't yet accomplished in the use of the Summoning Charm may use one of the sliding ladders that move around from bookcase to bookcase.
In front of each set of shelves is a small desk. Students can sit at these desks to complete homework or copy down notes and book references. Be aware that other students may need to access books above you… so mind your head.
You can find any book here that's appropriate for all school years, so browse to your heart's content.

Marie sat back down, crossing her legs as she headed her eyesight towards the book she was reading before, while she listened to Preston, the boy standing in front of him. "Welcome, and I see what you mean. There is so much to read about Divination that sometimes you don't know where to get information from..." Like the book she had in her hands: it had ambiguous reports, weird thoughts from different authors and so on.
"Nice to meet you, Preston." She said with a smile as she looked at him while he sat down next to her. "And feel comfortable..."
Preston nodded his head, he agreed, there was a lot to learn about divination, it was a wide topic. "It's th-the w-w-widest s-subject th-there is, I-I th-think." He told her as he propped the book onto his lap and opened the some what dusty book to a page near the middle. "Th-there's s-s-so m-m-many p-parts t-t-to it, a-and s-so m-many th-theories." Preston added on as he flipped a few more pages, not entirely sure what he was in search for.

Days of Potter 2022: Which Luna Quote Are You?_____________________ ____________ "all my shoes have mysteriously disappeared.
I suspect nargles are behind it."
As you make your way into the library an odd sight greets you. In the middle of the room, sitting on a lone stool you recognize a familiar figure, a certain song prone hat.
You approach it cautiously, already beginning to suspect another riddle is in store for you. If that was indeed your first thought, then you are in Ravenclaw for a reason because that is exactly the case.
Directly before the hat, you observe halves of what appear to be maps in different colors (blue, green, white, yellow, red) but before you can get in for a closer look, the Sorting Hat gives a twitch as if making itself more comfortable. A small flap appears and the Sorting Hat begins to speak.
“A destination, a certain location
A place you must discern.
Many halves of a map lay scattered
Only two of which you’ll earn”
“The location lies in the riddle
The contents of which I’ll give
Discover who you’ll follow
To piece your map together with"
"Look not toward Moaning Myrtle
Or the Whomping Willow bound Ghost
Only one will let you tag along
Whom do you trust the most?"
"The one who wields the white map
Goes not near violent trees
But appreciates companionship
It is with her you must leave"
"And then there are the owners
Of the yellow and the green
Who along with Nearly Headless Nick
Agree with not being in a team"
"Because he with not full head intact
Leads not with map of red
And wont be welcome in the forest
The place he and yellow dread"
"To the Great Hall
Goes the one with dark blue map in hand
And that is all the clues you get
Think closely, the end is at hand"
"What color is the one you hold
And who will you be following
Your maps together show the place
Don’t let me catch you dawdling"
Then just as suddenly, the chanting flap closes waiting patiently as you come to your conclusion. What color is your map, who you are following, and where are you headed? Only by knowing the correct answer may you pick up both halves. Both together will lead you to the right place. Choose wisely.
SPOILER!!: Riddle in layman's terms
There are 4 locations and 4 ghosts, only one of which you may follow. The destinations are the Great Hall, the Black Lake, the Whomping Willow, and the Forbidden Forest. The ghosts are the Peeves, NearlyHeadlessNick, the Grey Lady, and Moaning Myrtle. Each of the ghosts and you may take one colored map half to help lead them to a destination, but only two of them together will lead you to where you need to go.
1- Neither Moaning Myrtle nor the ghost that will make its way to the Whomping Willow will let you tag along but the Grey Lady will.
2- The ghost that wields the white map will not be going to the Whomping Willow, but will however make its way to its location with you.
3- The green map carrying ghost, the yellow map holding ghost, and Nearly Headless Nick do not tolerate companions.
4- The one who wields the red map is not Nearly Headless Nick and will not be going to the Forbidden Forest
5- The Blue map wielding ghost will go to the Great Hall, but the Yellow map carrying ghost will not go to the Forbidden forest.
OOC: Hello Ravenclaws. Here's your next riddle!
PLEASE READ THE SPOILER!
Your charrie must rp thinking out the logic puzzle and "answering" without actually doing so [i.e. Soandso answered the sorting hat hesitantly waiting to see if they were right] We don't want everyone just copying the solution so PM either Ivy Nienna or RachieRu your answer and they'll rp whether you were right or wrong.
Your answer must include:
Your username, charrie name, and a link to your post along with:
-Who you are following
-What color your map is
-The color of the map of the ghost you are following
-And MOST IMPORTANTLY where you are to go
^,^ If you answer correctly, the heaboy or prefect will let you know and you may pick up the two halves which should lead you to exactly to where you need to go.
***The map is purely for rp reasons as you'll already know where to go if you solve the riddle.***
The sorting hat? Dallin walked up to it, confused. What was ---
Just then, it started talking. Dal groaned quietly. More riddles? And this one was a long one, too! All the same though, he listened carefully. He was too curious about what they were looking for to give up now. He leaned against a book shelf and thought. And thought some more. And some more. He went over every line that he could remember from the hat's riddle in his head. Was it just because they were Ravenclaws that they were getting all these riddles? Maybe the riddles to get into the common room were supposed to help them. Or something.
After a few minutes Dal pushed himself away from the bookshelf and walked over to the hat. He thought he had the right answer, but he wasn't entirely sure. Taking a deep breath when it was his turn he walked over to the sorting hat and whispered his answer to it.
Dark eyes gazed out beneath long eyelashes, brightening as they watched one student after another discover the Sorting Hat. Oooh, this was so exciting.
Slim hands clasped behind her back, the Ravenclaw prefect resisted the urge to mouth along with their riddle almost biting her lip in the process. Rhyming had been no easy feat. It really was harder than it looked...how the Sorting Hat did it every year she'd never know.
Turning to give Fin a huge grin, she watched her fellow 'claws and could've sworn she could almost physically see the gears turning in their heads as they dawned upon the answer.
Rocking a bit on her heels, Ivy stepped beside the Sorting Hat as the first student came forward.

Hmm… the next riddle, perhaps?
She listened to the sorting hat, trying to memorize as much information as possible. After that, Gwen thought for a while, but it didn’t take long until she got an answer. Maybe it’s not the right one…, the girl doubted. But, after a while of thinking, she came to the same conclusion. It may not be the right answer, but it’s the best one I got…
As the young Ravenclaw approached, Ivory gave her an encouraging smile and waited for her to suggest her answer. Aha! She'd gotten it!
Taking the two colored maps in hand, the female prefect handed over the parchments and gave her a nod of approval. "Great job!" she chimed with a grin. "Now all you have to do is follow the map." Yup, X would mark the spot for the next task.

Turning back towards the next student, Ivory couldn't help the widening of her smile as she noticed who it was. Unable to resist, she brought up a slim hand in a cheery wave as Dal approached. Merlin, she hadn't talked to him in ages. Making a mental note to fix that she got back to the task at hand.
With a small lean forward to catch the whispered tone, the fifth year gave him a small nod as she saw the Sorting Hat give a twitch of approval. "Fantastic!" she exclaimed softly as she handed over the two halves he'd chosen and pushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "See ya' at the..." Whoo, good catch there. She'd almost let the location of the next task go. With a small wink she continued. "-at the end!"

Eino liked it when it sang, but he applauded the hat nonetheless, when it concluded its speech. He looked at both of his friends, then at Sir Toby, who seemed to know the answer but refused to help Eino. He scratched his head, pulled his hair, played with his eyelashes, counted his fingers and toes, then finally realized what the answer was. He then approached the Sorting Hat, and after waiting for Sir Toby to whisper his answer to the hat, Eino whispered his. He then took a step back and closed his eyes and he waited for the hat's reply.
Why....was that applause!?!?
Eyes widening happily, Ivory beamed, positively beamed at the boy. If there were looks that could kill, then logically there were those that could do just the opposite. That's how charmed she was that there was someone who appreciated the difficulty of a riddle. Of course, she was also charmed at how he used just about everything on his body to determine the answer.
By the time the boy came forward to whisper his reply to the Sorting Hat, the Ravenclaw prefect was almost hopping to hand over his map. Because OF COURSE he'd gotten it correctly. Eyelashes don't lie you see. True story.
Nodding almost simultaneously with the Hat, Ivy deposited the parchment in his hands. "Awesome sauce! Good job and good luck!"
OOC: Hey guys ^,^ If you could pm both of us your replies that'd be great I'll edit in replies to this post afterwards no worries.

Seeing Ivory wave at him, Dallin waved back with a smile. When he found out that he'd gotten the riddle right, he grinned. WOOT! He'd been really worried he was going to get it wrong, actually. But that didn't matter anymore, because now he could continue on to the next place.
"See ya there," he said with a laugh as Ivory handed him his maps. "We should hang out sometime," he added as an afterthought. "It's been a while." Since the first night of the term, actually. So a long while. Dal waved again, this time as a goodbye, and went out of the library, following the map to where he needed to go next.
Tiberius listened intently, brow furrowed in concentration. When the hat finished, he mouthed the words over again to himself and he drew in the air with his finger as if making a chart that only he could see.
Scratching his chin, he sighed heavily, opting to crouch down to the ground to draw in the dust there. All of a sudden it occurred to him.
Leaning forward, he answered, and waiting patiently for a response.

Catching up with Dal seemed like a great idea for later. "Totally!" She agreed with a short nod and with a last parting wave, she turned back to the Sorting Hat.

Scooting over a stool beside the Sorting Hat, Ivory came back just in time to hear the next Ravenclaw's answer and catch the Sorting Hat's twitch of approval. Exhaling a breath that sent her hair flying out of her eyes, the fifth year grinned genuinely as she realized who it was. Gosh, she hadn't talked to him in ages!
Ever since she'd realized how fast time was passing earlier in the year she'd been using as much of her spare time as possible to study for her OWLS. The downside? Well she'd pretty much become a hermit with no social life to speak of. It hadn't been until the planning for the hunt that she'd come out of the woodwork- or should it be bookwork?
"You're exactly right!" Ivy piped up as she offered the map halves to Tiberius. "Good luck!" She'd most definitely be catching up with him later.
Spike frowned, and looked pointedly at Hugo. Or more accurately, between Hugo and Ellie. His fellow chaser was NOT currently having the blood supply cut off to his fingertips by the Claw seeker was he? Boy, did Ellie have a tight grip. Couldn't the boy tell this wasn't helping? Now, Spike was all for a bit of an adventure, and bought into the whole 'Sir', 'Lady' and 'Sheriff' thing...but trolls? They could have come up with something a bit more likely for a library! With the musty, dusty shelves, surely cobwebs and giant spiders would have been more appropriate? So, that wouldn't necessarily help Ellie...but at least she'd know Spike was good with creepy crawlies and he could be a momentary hero or something.
"S'okay," Spike whispered. "I haven't seen any troll bogies, as much as I'd like to touch some. Or bones. Or...anything else of interest really. Just books. Rows and rows of largely untouched books." That'd help Ellie, right? Though, if she wasn't keen on books...
Luckily he was distracted before he could dig a bigger hole.
"Soldier?" Spike retorted, standing up as tall as he could and puffing out his chest. "Why have I been demoted to a soldier? I have just as much right to be something epic as you do." Sure, he had a distinct dislike of books, but he could work with that. Especially if he was in character, and the hunt was likely to take them to other domains anyway. He pursed his lips, trying to think of who he wanted to be. Some sort of explorer maybe...or an alchemist...or a...
"I'm not scared of books, persay," Spike said, eying the girl who interrupted his thoughts. "We...just have a mutual dislike." Or, a general avoidance. And even if he was, then he was still here, right? If fear was rational, then there'd be no need for it. That was the point. Being scared of things for no reason. Hmph.
"I'm an intrepid explorer," he announced, after a while. "But at the moment, I'm just taking stock of my surroundings." Well, he couldn't exactly go anywhere without Ellie due to her death grip. And she in turn wasn't going anywhere without Eino...and that meant they had to go the same way. Or something like that, unless Ellie was reeeeeally stretchy.
And then he spied the Sorting Hat. Time for another puzzle, it seemed.

"Hang on Ellie," he said, prising his hand from her grip. "I need to get to my pocket." After a bit of rummaging around, and pulling out a couple of cockroaches (for Matilda), a lolly pop, a couple of sticky sweet wrappers and a half carved piece of wood, Spike found what he was looking for. A rather dented up pencil and and a torn scrap of paper. It might even be a candy paper. Spike shrugged. Either way he could scribble notes on it.
Five coloured maps...red, blue, green, yellow, white. Four ghosts. He wrote this information down. Different locations. And he needed to find out where to go, and who to follow. He wasn't even sure why he was doing this...riddles weren't his thing, as evidenced by his daily battle with the knocker getting in to the common room. But the scavenger hunt depended on this, and he wanted to solve it himself. Not just follow everyone else.
After a fair bit of head scratching, and a few frowns, Spike waved the paper in the air. "I've got it! I've really got it! Or, at least I think I have."
And wait that he gave his answer to the hat, and crossed his fingers tight. It was correct, righttt?
You're terrible help, Spike, sorry. While Ellie was relieved that there was no troll, he'd only confirmed her vision of the library. Rows and rows and countless rows of BOOKS.
She couldn't see them, but she could FEEL them. It was a terrible feeling. Though, she took it as a good sign that she couldn't hear them. So, at least they weren't flying around, pelting at her, and snapping their bookish jaws at her.
The sorting hat only slightly surprised her. It was comforting enough to recognize the voice, and know it wasn't a troll. Or anything monstrously similar.
Ellie heaved a shaky sigh when Spike wriggled out of her grip, and she immediately exchanged his hand for a chunk of Eino's robes. She had to keep her extremities out of the books' reach.

Oh..okay, Eino. They were moving, apparently. Ellie let him lead her blindly. Trust, was what she had in him. Was that wise? She didn't know, but at this point she didn't care. He could be leading her out of the library, for all she knew.
The boy'd made it slightly uncomfortable for her when he applauded, and she had to shift her grip on him. She wasn't letting him go, though, because she could tell they were still in this wretched place. How long had they been here anyway? Hours? Days? Longer? It felt wayyy too long.
....And that was Ivory? She'd said he was right, so...they could leave now, yeah? Pretty pretty please?

Eino grinned when Ivory told him he was right and took the two pieces of the map. He looked back and forth between Ellie and Hugo, hoping they had also gotten it right. After their results he put the two pieces of map together and examined it until he could make some sense of it. Sir Toby had gotten it wrong, apparently, because he was threatening to turn the hat into a bucket. It didn't matter because he would end up following the three students anyway. "Are you ready?" Eino asked, forgetting to apply his chivalrous courtesy. He was beginning to grow more excited about the hunt that he began stepping out of character. Of course, that was only momentarily, and soon after he was speaking with that same deep voice and leading The Lady of the Quidditch Pitch and The Sheriff of the Courtyard out of the library. "We have completed this portion of our quest without awakening the Great Troll! Now, onto the next location!" He said pointing towards the exit. Ellie was still attached to him, so he didn't have to drag her along this time.

Tiberius smiled as he accepted the map halves. Fitting them together, he studied the paper to determine his next steps.
It seemed, well, not straight forward, but simple enough to follow at least. Though, he wondered if he had sufficiently reacquainted himself with the castle since returning.
With a quick thanks and a wave, Tiberius turned in the appointed direction and began counting steps.
One... Two... Three...
He was off.

Ryden blinked. That was the hat they'd put on her head that sorted her in Ravenclaw. The Sorting Hat. What's it doing here? Blinking, she fell silent as she listened to the hat, then moved a little away from the group to think. Four ghosts, four locations, five half maps. Why did there have to be FIVE maps?
Ugh.
Half closing her eyes as she concentrated, Ryden thought about the riddle over and over again, testing out her theories and expelling the rubbish ones. She did this for quite some time and finally came out of her trance with an answer. Hopefully the correct one. With a sigh, the brunette went over and told the hat the answer.
Eyes brightening as yet another Ravenclaw answered correctly, Ivory clapped her hands together. "That was correct. Right ghost, right place, right map colors." she assured as she passed on the appropriate halves.
With a big smile, she nodded her head at the girl. "No more sighing alright, it's all gonna be worth it. Trust me." It totally would!

"Come, it seems like some sort of wizarding hat..." It was the sorting hat. All the Courtyard character quickly spilled out of him as he took a sprint towards the hat.
He approached the hat. Was it going to speak? Maybe another riddle. He studied the pieces of what seemed like a map. Then the hat spoke. He instinctively took a step back when the voice echoed through the normally quiet library. It was... A riddle.
At first, Hugo was puzzled with the amount of information thrown at him. 4 ghosts... 4 locations... 5 maps... It was odd. He thought about it for about ten minutes, letting the information sink in. "I think I've got it..." he said and got up from the chair he had been sitting in to think about it. He told his findings to the sorting hat and waited to hear if they were right.
ooc: Didn't get your answer, but I'm sure you got it right ^,^ Just forward it on over soonish.
"You think right!" the Prefect grinned as she held up the map halves. She was so proud-if she was a hen she would surely be preening and looking right about the same right now. Actually scratch that, hens were not the best thing to be compared to. But anywho...
"Now go on...follow that trail." With a bit wink, and a big point in the proper direction she nodded again. Yup, he should hurry along. He had somewhere to be after all.

Chuckling as Spike waved his paper in the air, Ivory gave him a congratulatory smile as she heard him give the right answer. "You most certainly did."
Grabbing up the two different colored maps, she handed them over. Ooh, how she wished she wasn't a prefect so she could be going on the hunt as well. This next part would be sooo fun. Assuming they followed the map correctly of course. "Good luck and see you later!"

Smiling happily as her fellow Ravenclaw began to follow his map, Ivory crossed her legs and bounced her foot a bit. Ooh, it was so exciting. She couldn't wait to join them all...later. They were all going to love it, she was sure of it.
For now though she needed to worry about the current task and how there was even gonna be a later if not enough people got a map...where were the rest of those Ravenclaws?

Ellie was still attached to him, so he didn't have to drag her along this time.
Still beaming at the younger boy, Ivory gave him a thumbs up as he went on his way and rallied his companions.

She couldn't see them, but she could FEEL them. It was a terrible feeling. Though, she took it as a good sign that she couldn't hear them. So, at least they weren't flying around, pelting at her, and snapping their bookish jaws at her.
The sorting hat only slightly surprised her. It was comforting enough to recognize the voice, and know it wasn't a troll. Or anything monstrously similar.
Ellie heaved a shaky sigh when Spike wriggled out of her grip, and she immediately exchanged his hand for a chunk of Eino's robes. She had to keep her extremities out of the books' reach.
Oh..okay, Eino. They were moving, apparently. Ellie let him lead her blindly. Trust, was what she had in him. Was that wise? She didn't know, but at this point she didn't care. He could be leading her out of the library, for all she knew.
The boy'd made it slightly uncomfortable for her when he applauded, and she had to shift her grip on him. She wasn't letting him go, though, because she could tell they were still in this wretched place. How long had they been here anyway? Hours? Days? Longer? It felt wayyy too long.
....And that was Ivory? She'd said he was right, so...they could leave now, yeah? Pretty pretty please?
Turning a curious glance to Ellie who seemed to be just a tad bit comfortable and about to be lead away, Ivory waved her to come over. She couldn't leave just yet, she didn't have a map! And that map was going to be important!
"No worries, you all will be along in a sec." She assured with a smile, stepping a bit forward off her stool.

As soon as she entered, Vashti knew she had missed something. There was a large group of students, most of which she recognized as Ravenclaws, gathered around the bookshelves, which wasn't exactly unusual, but the Sorting Hat was also there, which was unusual. But why? Her question was answered almost immediately, as the Sorting Hat opened the rip that was its mouth and began to speak.
SPOILER!!: Sorting Hat

You approach it cautiously, already beginning to suspect another riddle is in store for you. If that was indeed your first thought, then you are in Ravenclaw for a reason because that is exactly the case.
Directly before the hat, you observe halves of what appear to be maps in different colors (blue, green, white, yellow, red) but before you can get in for a closer look, the Sorting Hat gives a twitch as if making itself more comfortable. A small flap appears and the Sorting Hat begins to speak.
“A destination, a certain location
A place you must discern.
Many halves of a map lay scattered
Only two of which you’ll earn”
“The location lies in the riddle
The contents of which I’ll give
Discover who you’ll follow
To piece your map together with"
"Look not toward Moaning Myrtle
Or the Whomping Willow bound Ghost
Only one will let you tag along
Whom do you trust the most?"
"The one who wields the white map
Goes not near violent trees
But appreciates companionship
It is with her you must leave"
"And then there are the owners
Of the yellow and the green
Who along with Nearly Headless Nick
Agree with not being in a team"
"Because he with not full head intact
Leads not with map of red
And wont be welcome in the forest
The place he and yellow dread"
"To the Great Hall
Goes the one with dark blue map in hand
And that is all the clues you get
Think closely, the end is at hand"
"What color is the one you hold
And who will you be following
Your maps together show the place
Don’t let me catch you dawdling"
Then just as suddenly, the chanting flap closes waiting patiently as you come to your conclusion. What color is your map, who you are following, and where are you headed? Only by knowing the correct answer may you pick up both halves. Both together will lead you to the right place. Choose wisely.
SPOILER!!: Riddle in layman's terms
There are 4 locations and 4 ghosts, only one of which you may follow. The destinations are the Great Hall, the Black Lake, the Whomping Willow, and the Forbidden Forest. The ghosts are the Peeves, NearlyHeadlessNick, the Grey Lady, and Moaning Myrtle. Each of the ghosts and you may take one colored map half to help lead them to a destination, but only two of them together will lead you to where you need to go.
1- Neither Moaning Myrtle nor the ghost that will make its way to the Whomping Willow will let you tag along but the Grey Lady will.
2- The ghost that wields the white map will not be going to the Whomping Willow, but will however make its way to its location with you.
3- The green map carrying ghost, the yellow map holding ghost, and Nearly Headless Nick do not tolerate companions.
4- The one who wields the red map is not Nearly Headless Nick and will not be going to the Forbidden Forest
5- The Blue map wielding ghost will go to the Great Hall, but the Yellow map carrying ghost will not go to the Forbidden forest.
OOC: Hello Ravenclaws. Here's your next riddle!
PLEASE READ THE SPOILER!
Your charrie must rp thinking out the logic puzzle and "answering" without actually doing so [i.e. Soandso answered the sorting hat hesitantly waiting to see if they were right] We don't want everyone just copying the solution so PM either Ivy Nienna or RachieRu your answer and they'll rp whether you were right or wrong.
Your answer must include:
Your username, charrie name, and a link to your post along with:
-Who you are following
-What color your map is
-The color of the map of the ghost you are following
-And MOST IMPORTANTLY where you are to go
^,^ If you answer correctly, the heaboy or prefect will let you know and you may pick up the two halves which should lead you to exactly to where you need to go.
***The map is purely for rp reasons as you'll already know where to go if you solve the riddle.***
A riddle? Aw Merlin, she already had a bit of a headache. Did she really have to do this?
...Her inner Ravenclaw wouldn't let her say no, so obviously yes, she did have to figure this out. Sigh. Well alright, here goes nothing.
Vashti pondered the riddle for several minutes, making little imaginary markings in the palm of her hand as she tried to work it out. Eventually, she arrived at an answer, but whether it was the right one, she honestly wasn't sure. But she was going to go with it anyway, so she went over to the Sorting Hat and whispered her answer, as she'd noticed the others doing.

Neptune Bott, in James S. Wilkes form - had pranced from the dungeon once the change had taken place. It hadn't been a pleasant feeling, and to be honest, being so tall... and big... and... boy... wasn't exactly pleasant either.
But twirling as Jimmy on the stairs had been.
And skipping into the library had been, too. A bit hard to adjust to the height and weight difference, but she was managing to make the Ravenclaw Stud be P to the RISSY.
.... La la la pay Mr. Wilkes no mind. He's just in the library STUDYING. She... HE had invited .... Neptune? to join. If he.. she.. wanted.
"I THINK I'm dreamy," Jim!Tune replied with put on bravado. "But in fact, I'm a pretty pretty princess. A fairy princess. A fairy ballerina princess," Jim!Tune then performed a little ballerina jump to reach a high stacked book. Amazing. Being tall was amazing.
"Speaking of princesses, Neptune June... you look good in a skirt."

"...."
She got flat looks for that, and Jimmy, in Neptune's body, decided to make it his OWN. So instead of stomping around and carrying on, he sauntered over to a chair and threw himself into it.
The sauntering was.... well.
Neptune's body walked differently, see? But Jim, was far more overcharged than Miss Bott ever was, so it meshed well. Jim-as-Neptune came across as a bad girl.
Her walk + his attitude = something that only resembled Neptune Bott in the most superficial way.
He rearranged the robes and all, and posed provocatively.
"So we've got an hour of this."

GASP!
!!!
"Jimmy!" Jim!Tune scolded Neptu!Jim! "Don't sit like that!" In big bad BOY form, Neptune marched over and smacked Jim!Tune's knee. "I am a lady!"
...Jim!Tune covered her face and Jim!giggled.
She sat down in a chair besides herself? Weird. Then crossed her legs and looped her hands over her knees. "An hour."
A whole hour.
"So..." So. Jim!Tune started fixing Neptu!Jim's nails.
Jim!Tune simply did it more. And to top it off, shifted closer to Neptune-as-Jim and simpered, draping all over him/her and whatnot.
"Whatever shall we do to pass the time?"
Maybe he shoulda switched with Cassie?
THAT would have been a fun experiment.
...
...
......
... If he was Neptune right now, did he still technically HAVE a girlfriend? Or did Neptune... now.... err.... have a girlfriend?
Wicked grin from James-as-Neptune.
"Stop," Neptune-in-Jim's body said. She sounded much more like herself though, defeated and worn out of this game. "Girlfriend, remember?" Remember how he'd kept reminding HER all summer about Jake?
Meh.
"While... you're here... and it's just us... I have something for you." Tune-as-Jim untangled from Jim-as-Tune and dug around in his/her pocket. It actually looked exactly like a vial she'd recently sent to Jim, but inside this one wasn't a swirly dark memory. This vial held what was left of a potion she'd brewed a while back.
Neptune-as-Jim quirked her head to the side and considered the little vial, momentarily forgetting present company. Hmmm.

Jim-as-Tune sat back and waited.
... something for him?
....... she wasn't gonna give back the ticket, right?
"I watched it." Just so she knew. "I don't... know what to do about it." So she knew that too. "Seems I'm running out of friends." How bout that?
As for this other one....
What?
Neptune Bott needed to STOP giving him things in vials.

"Oh."
Yeah. That.
"I... didn't expect you to do anything. I shouldn't have sent it at all. I was just upset," Neptune-as-Jim leaned over and fixed her own hair. What was JIMMY doing over there?? She looped it behind her ears and was tempted to pull it all back - but it was weird and she'd just settle with Bott-pursed-lips look on Jim's mouth. Probably didn't have the same effect.
Neptune-as-Jim's eyes wandered back to the vial in her/his big hands. "This is mostly why that happened, you know. Lexi and I made amortentia. She used hers on Ivan, he thought he... you know... and it was a mess. This is what's left of it." Neptune-as-Jim spoke very matter-of-fact, his/her eyes never wavering from the little vial.
She was wondering... if ... would she still smell strawberries and tulips if she smelled it as Jim?

He stared a bit.
...
"Thats amortentia?" Hang on. "Why would Lexi give Ivan amortentia?" What was WRONG with those girls? Breathe.
Jimmy pursed his Neptune lips and looked very put out.
"So... it was JUST the amortentia then?" He eyed it and then her/him. Actually it wasn't so bad looking at himself, it was just mostly weird not being himself.
"I feel weak." Just as an aside. He flexed one Neptune!Arm. "Don't you ever carry anything on your own?" Trying to change the subject a bit but... still eyeing the amortentia. Could you blame him for being curious about how it would smell?

So. Finlay had no idea if Fallon actually went in the library. But she was doing an awful lot of studying these days so she figured that like she must have been. So he was pretty sure it didn't look too odd him being in here. As long as like he didn't get some really manly books. That would be a bit odd.
He was distracted though as he walked in by two people. Neptune and Jimmy. Were they actually talking? Finlay forgot that he looked like Fallon for a few seconds, and wandered over to them...
It was only when he got over there that he remembered he didn't look like himself. He....looked like Fallon. Awkward. He kinda needed to save himself now. "Ermm...." Well. That totally sounded like his actually voice rather than Fallon's voice. "Have you seen Finn?" He directed this, rather high picked squeaky question to Jimmy. This was weird.

"Mmhmm," Neptune-as-Jim somewhat distractedly confirmed. It was amortentia. It was good amortentia at that. "Mmm. Not sure? Ivan made her mad. It was a joke or something, a joke ... that went astray." Way astray. "On my birthday."
As for Ivan's feelings being just the potion? "Well... No. I don't think. I don't know. I agreed to have an evening with him, after the potion, and he was trying to show he... cared. I guess. You know how it ended." Neptune shrugged her giant Jimmy shoulder. The effect was NOT the same with his big boy body.
With effort, Neptune-as-Jim raised her eyes away from her vial to meet ..err...well her own/Jim's and she/he smiled. "I try not to." .... but she was more determined not to be distracted. To just get it out there and done and over. Over.
"...I brewed this for you. Because of you. I don't know, it was all you. And me. And needing to know stuff," he rushed to explain. Neptune-as-Jim held it out for him/her. "It works well, so don't use it on anyone. But.. yeah. For you." There.

...
Finny's girlfriend? Ehhh ..... "No. Finny wouldn't be around Jimmy and I should think you would know that. Please excuse us." And just like that Neptune-as-Jim, with her his big hand shoo'd away the Slytherin.

After the potion ended so.... couldn't even blame the potion which would have been a good excuse.
Jim-as-Neptune looked down and all the air went out of him. Ivan too.
He resolutely tried not to think about it, putting it away, but anyone who knew him well, even as Neptune, would see there was injury in his/her eyes.
He took the potion vial and since he was still distracted by Ivan related thoughts, Jim-as-Neptune uncorked it and gave it a tentative sniff.
....
He picked up a lock of his/her hair and sniffed that too. And then the amortentia again, which he stoppered.
What was Jim-as-Neptune supposed to do with it?

Jim-as-Neptune laughed.
"You know you just talked about yourself in third person?" This to Neptune-as-Jim. Come onnnnn had he ever done that? Was he THAT egotistical?
Jim-as-Neptune crossed his/her weak arms over his chest and glared at what he was sure was Finn-as-Fallon.
Neptune-as-Jim had a point. Finn, as himself or as anyone else, shouldn't be around him.

"You can't be mad at him for having feelings," FYI James Wilkes. He could be upset for other reasons, but not that. It still entirely broke her heart to see HIS look of ..hurt.. cross her own features. It was also bizarre and KIND of looked like a pout on her/him. Neptune-as-Jim tried to achieve his 'I'm cool and I don't care' look as he took the stopper off her little vial, but much the same, anyone that knew her would KNOW she was holding her breath - silly as that was. Neptune KNEW better than to expect anything, and yet...
"You can toss it. I just can't... keep it anymore." More FYI. Neptune went to flip her hair off her shoulder in her own "I'm cool and I don't care" look, but.... no hair on her giant, muscled shoulder.
Oh right. Third person. Neptune-as-Jim turned back to Fallon and amended, "No. Finlay wouldn't be around me and I should think you would know that. Please excuse us." Please? Since she was Jimmy, girls would do what he wanted, right?

This felt insanely awkward, and Finlay-as-Fallon could sense that he'd interrupted something reaally important. He hadn't meant too, but part of him still really wanted to be around Jimmy. Finn missed the guy more than anything. It was weird, but then not unexpected, Jimmy had been in his life for near on 17 years. It wasn't surprising that it felt like their was something missing, like something was right in his heart. The thing was. He had no idea where they was ever going to to fix himself. Part of Finlay thought that he and Jimmy would never make up.
Finlay eyed Jimmy as he spoke. That was wierd. Jimmy didn't talk in third person. That was when it kind of clicked in his head. That wasn't Jimmy. Clearly the two were polyjuiced...which meant that Neptune must've been Jimmy. Oh. Oh. Now he got why this felt really awkward. Because like...Jimmy was here.
Finn didn't feel happy though, especially if both of them would willingly talk to Fallon like this. It wasn't right, and he would be having words. "Yeah..." Finn-as-Fallon murmered, forgetting to hide his voice, so if they were both paying any attention, they would figure out it was actually him.
"I....should go." He didn't even bother to hide his voice, because part of him wanted to them to know it was here. See....he kind of felt like he saw the real side of both the people he had considered his best friends.
