As you enter the Hogwarts library, what appears to be a cozy nook in one corner of the main area appears most appealing to the Hogwarts student interested in his or her reading. Upon further inspection, you see that this comfy area is larger than it had seemed on first sight. Spread throughout the room are clusters of armchairs, surrounding magical reading lamps giving off different levels of light, all of which are appropriate for reading. These clusters are perfect for study groups or group projects.

Here and there are a few lone armchairs for the student who enjoys quiet solitary reading, and a number of sofas for any that would rather stretch out and put their feet up. Be sure not to muddy them up though!

A soft glow of light is present throughout the room, with more magical lamps in each possible reading space. Be sure not to make much noise and respect some students' wishes to read in quiet.

One last note, no food or drink in the reading lounge.

Happy reading!

"So.. are you excited for the holidays?" She smiled, blushing as she felt Cael's warm kiss on her cheek. It was nice to see him, he made everything so much more comfortable.

"Lucky," he sighed, wrapping his arms around her and snuggling against the top of her head. "I'm supposed to be making the magical equivalent of some Marshsloppily or whatever that muggle game is, I think it's slowly driving me mad," he grimaced, thinking about how much work he had left to do. Whatever, spending time with Jayden was more important anyway.

He smiled against her hair when she mentioned the holidays. "Of course, how could I not be when I get to bring you home?" he kissed the top of her head lovingly. "Marcus and Amelia will love you, I'm certain," he nodded.

"Anything interesting going on with our friends that I haven't heard about yet?" he asked with a small yawn.

"Oh Cael, are you sure that they will like me?" She asked worriedly, her heart started to race. Jayden had never thought about meeting his guardians.. and now she was starting to panic.

What if they don't.

She struggled to regain composure, her face growing hot as thoughts swarmed through her mind. "I can't wait to see where you grew up! Maybe some baby pictures!" Jayden teased, smiling when he kissed her on the head; she just loved affection.

"I actually haven't heard much yet, I've been kind of holed up in the dorms, trying to focus." She admitted, shaking her head sadly.

Cael snickered inside his head. It was cute seeing her get all flustered over meeting his guardians. Surely she couldn't believe anyone would have a reason to dislike her?

"My guardians care about what I care about," he petted her hair carefully. A fine blush swept over his cheeks when he realized he'd inadvertently confessed that he cared for her. Maybe she wouldn't notice...

Ugh, baby pictures? What was it with girls and baby pictures. Merlin. "I'm sure that I was just as pink and wrinkly as you were," he teased, tickling her side lightly.

"Yeah, I know what you mean. I haven't even got a chance to try and settle any fights. I don't want to disappoint the Headmaster..."

Wait. Did he really say that?

"You.. truly care for me?" She asked, her blue eyes searching his mossy green ones.

Oh Merlin.

"I love you, Cael." She blurted, and then gasped, clapping a hand to her mouth.

That was so NOT supposed to happen.

Cael's mouth fell open. Whaaaa?

"Y-you love me?"

He couldn't believe it, Cael was slightly in shock. She loved him...

Wrapping his arms around her, it felt like the most natural thing in the world to reply, "I love you too."

"Mmmm" Jayden smiled, leaning into Cael. She placed her hand under his chin, her lips meeting his in almost hungry sort of passionate kiss.

Cael sighed as the kiss ended. Definitely the best he'd ever had...

Snuggling against Jayden, he closed his eyes simply basking in the comfortable silence between them.

He couldn't wait to bring her home; his parents would have loved her just as he did. Cael was sure of it.

"Oh darling! What should I wear? Am I supposed to dress formally at your house?" She asked, getting all spun up about things all over again.

He snickered. "You can wear whatever you feel comfortable in. My guardians usually wear muggle clothing most of the time anyway. I probably won't, but to each his own," he shrugged.

Cael thought she looked beautiful in anything she wore.

"Alright," Jayden smiled. "But I'm still going to go out and buy a new dress." She laughed, kissing Cael again as she ran her fingers through his hair.

"Sounds good to me," he sighed sleepily as she played with his hair. It was a weakness... seriously.

"You wanna go build a snowman sometime?" he mumbled tiredly, snuggling into her.

"Yes, I would love to build a snowman with you!" She said excitedly.

And maybe go find some mistletoe so we can ~~snog~~ kiss.

She looked up at her shoulder remembering that Puffles wasn't with her and that it couldn't have been him. She then looked at the seat beside her.

"JO JO!" shouted Ness a little too loud for a Library. She gave her best friend a hug. She hadn't seen Jo in quite a long time and she really did miss her. She looked at the book that Jo was reading and wondered if Jo was a bookworm or not. Jo didn't really look like a bookworm, but you never knew with these things. "I never knew you liked to read." said Ness grinning happily.

Why was she shouting in the library,doesn't she know that you need to whisper in the library, or maybe here you're not allowed even to talk. Anyway, at least the librarian didn't come and start shouting at them... Ugh... That would of been horrid. "Yep, that's my name," she mumbled arrogantly.

And then comes the typical saying, about her and reading. Joanna never knew if she liked or hated being told that she doesn't look like a reader. On one hand it makes her seem special, but on the other hand it's like saying to her 'you're smart?!' so, she's in a dilemma if to hate it or like it. "Well... Each person has their own secret right?" she said looking at the book Ness was holding.

Quietly Ness giggled at Jo Jo's respond. She sorta expected Jo to shout back, but Jo was obviously clever enough to remember that they were in a library. Nessie looked over to where the Librarian sat and was just glad that Madam Donovan didn't notice the shouting.

"Yep!" agreed Ness trying to think what her little secret was, not that she really had one. She was a very open person and she said almost everything that was on her mind. She didn't like secrets and she avoided them when she could. She realized that Jo was looking at the book in her hands. "Its quidditch through the ages." said Ness lifting the book up so Jo Jo could see better.

Joanna sighed, at least her friend giggled and didn't burst out laughing, at something which was probably very amusing. She probably understood, that she needs a bit quieter. "Okay, I told you a unusual fact about me. Your turn to tell me a secret, or a unusual fact abut yourself," Joanna said with a smirk , turning to the next page in her book. Probably this book was causing her to act weird and mysterious, because she would never ask a friend that sort of question.

The Ravenclaw shrugged. She didn't see why that book was so wanted, of course she read it once or twice, but some people read every day. A bit unusual, right? "So are you ready to go on holiday?" she asked. She wasn't going to leave Hogwarts at the holiday because her house pretty far from Hogwarts, and she was no intention to stay with her cousin.

RandomRaven · 10-09-2011, 03:07 AM

Raven was sitting at the reading lounge, alone. So many books at her table. One of them which she read was about Animagi. She felt nice there. Enjoying herself in reading. But... suddenly she saw Ravenclaw students were kissing, she knew them. Cale and Jayden, Faina had ever introduced them to her...

*sigh*

"How... Silly." said her, she felt disgusting. So many first years were too adult, kissing each other? Grrr...

Yeah, Raven hated PDA. Public Distance of Affection. Especially if first year students. did it. No, she didn't jealous.

Sigh. He relaxed into the pillowy surface, throwing an arm haphazardly over his face.

When Sam came to the library he saw one of his house mate.It's Cael,who was nice to him in a other day at the Dormitory.He seemed trying to do some homework.Sam smiled to him and whispered (no loud talking in the library)
"Need help to find something?"

Now Jo got Ness thinking of what she could say. An unusual fact hmmm... "Well I play guitar." she thought it was probably the best thing she could tell Jo Jo as there wasn't anything else that was interesting about herself. She really did enjoy her guitar especially since it was her favorite colour purple. She just wished she could be a little more skilled at playing music on her guitar. "Maybe I could play for you sometime." She didn't mind if Jo Jo heard her play just as long as Jo wouldn't laugh.

The holiday? Oh Yeah the December holidays. Only now Ness clicked what Jo was talking about. "Yip, I am..I'm going to be staying in Diagon Alley for the holidays." she said with a grin as she thought of the place. She really did love to shop there. "How about you?" she asked with a smile.

Lana decided to visit the library to do some research on charms. She noticed there was a room in the corner and decided to take a peek in before she searched for books to read. The room was definitely bigger than she thought. Spread throughout the room were groups of students at some tables. And some students who were sitting by themselves. While she looked around she noticed someone she knew. Although she saw the back of her head, it wasn't hard to tell who it was. Raven.

Lana smiled and walked up to her, covering Raven's eyes. Lana laughed and removed her hands and positioned herself to Raven's view. "Hey Raven," Lana eyed the stacks of books next to her friend. "Oh I'm sorry. Am I interrupting your studies?"

When Raven was reading, someone came and interrupted her.

"Lana!! No, off course just have a seat." Said Raven cheerfully. Long time she didn't see Lana, maybe she was busy for homework ~~or recovering herself after being pranked by Maddy's mystery candy~~

Lana plopped down on the seat across Raven. "How are you? I haven't seen everyone for a few days now." Lana had developed scales all over her arms and face, so she didn't want to walk around school having people gawking at her. Lana looked closer at the book Raven had. "Animagi, eh?" she asked with a smile.

"Pretty nice. I decided to lengthen my hair and make it become red now." said Raven.Thanks to transfiguration, she could change her hair style from white short hair became a little bit long and red.

"Sooo... How about you? Are you fine enough since you were developed like dragon?!" she chuckled. Who didn't remember about Lana's incident because of Maddy's candy? Raven was long time didn't saw Maddy too...

"Actually, what do you want to read?" Raven still held the book about Animagi in her hand and Lana asked about that.

"Yeah.. It's a begineer's guide about animagi. Maybe I wanna learn it when I'll reach 6th year."

Lana blinked her eyes and took a second look at Raven's hair. Oh it is longer now and red. "I like it, it suits you," she said smiling. "You can probably pull off any hairstyle," she added chuckling.

Lana laughed a little harder. "Oh yes, definitely," Lana said as she pulled up her sleeves to show Raven her arms. "The healer gave me some medicine to take. It took a couple of days, but it's gone." Lana was really glad that the scales were gone. It really wasn't a pretty sight.

"You know what, I'm not sure. I came to do some research on charms. Animagi seems interesting. Are you able to pick what animal you become?" Lana didn't know much about Animagi. "Is 6th year when you can start it?"

Lana took a quick glance at Raven's outfit. Ahh, I love her jacket. By the way Raven, your outfit it soo cute!"

Joanna placed her bookmark at the page she was reading and closed the book silently. She thought that she would succeed at talking and reading at the same time, but it was far to difficult to concentrate on reading while talking. "The guitar?" the third year began saying "awesome." "Hmmmm..." Joe thought to herself, "I wouldn't mind that. Just as long as she's better than my cousin." Last year at the summer, Joanna bought him a classical guitar, and one month later he transfigured the guitar into a muggle music player, because he was so bad (how did he do that, she doesn't know).

Diagon Alley!? Lucky! Joanna missed that place, it was her first interaction with the Wizarding World in the UK, ohhhh... she'd do anything to visit that place in the winter. "Oh," she began, she didn't expect that question, "Well... I'm staying here, because I decided not to go visit my parents in Alaska, and I really don't want to see my cousin." Ughhh... He's annoying.
