| | Library Study Area 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.
No food or drink is allowed in the study area! Happy reading! |

| this post is for StarShine FOR THE RECORD ♥Dunkin | Pixie's Precious Pea | kpop goddess | sneaky sounder | forever slytherin♥ He had so much to do. Soooooo much. Jaemin zoomed his way into the library, selected a few books off the shelves, and zooooooomed his way to the study tables to spread the books out. His hair was grey today, a much better colour than his recent runs through green and pink and the bright white-blond, but... still not brown. Not the colour he wanted it to be. He'd given it a few weeks now, and he was getting tired of not being able to make the colour-changing charm work. So he was going to go through all these books and find some stuff to make it work.
Somehow.
The small boy plopped himself down in a chair and opened the first book, flipping from page to page and scanning each quickly to find what he was looking for. |

| ¼ of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pls It was fair to say that Katherine spent more time here than anywhere else. She even had her own corner and sometimes left her books here - which nobody touched. Today was no different, and she had come here to study..........
Noise.
Katherine turned her head quickly to the source of the noise and studied the Slytherin boy - Jaemin - for a moment. She had two options:
1. Tell him to stop it.
2. Ask him what he was looking for and deal with it quickly.
She checked her watch. She... had time to help him, for 10 minutes. Yeah. If it wasn't solved until then, she was telling him to go search the books somewhere else. "Hi, Jaemin Song?" she asked as she got up from where she had been sitting and walked over to him. She knew his name, of course, but she didn't want him to think she was a stalker. "I'm Katherine Moss, we've never met before even though I always see you at classes." Same year and all. "I think you're looking for something and I thought that maybe I can help you." Hmm? |

| ♥Dunkin | Pixie's Precious Pea | kpop goddess | sneaky sounder | forever slytherin♥ Huh what?
Jaemin lifted his head a bit to look at the girl when she said his name. Katherine Moss. He knew that name from classes as well, and he gave her a light nod in greeting, blinking at her. He was so not used to people actually approaching him and interrupting his research. Mostly because he usually did it like... in his dorm, or sitting out of the way in a hall somewhere.
"I know who you are," he said offhandedly, biting his lip and absently reaching to tug on his hair. "I'm ah... I'm looking for theory, really. I'm having trouble with making a charm work, even though I keep trying it every single day..."
So he wasn't really sure if she could... help him. It was more just finding some theory stuff, and then trial and error.

| ¼ of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pls Oh, he knew. Good to know he wasn't one of those careless people who didn't follow class attendance. She smiled before he began explaining what he was looking for.
...? And? "Is it... a private research? I mean, maybe I know what you're looking for." If it WAS private, it was pretty stupid to look for it at a LIBRARY in OPEN, just saying. Katherine didn't care either case, she just wanted him to be quiet. |

The teen lumbered around the library, trying to find the one book that the song needed, but so far she wasn't having any luck, she had practically taken down all the books she could reach in the Labyrinth and was now lurching over to the study area to see if it was hiding here.. "Boookkkk.. Azura find you!" The teen said in her sing song voice as she titled her head a little and giggled.. "Come Book.. Come to Azzy.." She tilted her head a little more and lumbered around, stopping to search through various books and throwing them behind her when they weren't the ones she wanted. |

He sighed quietly, holding his textbook in front of his eyes to force himself to pay attention to it. Why was he having such a hard time understanding this? It's just numbers!

He sighed quietly, holding his textbook in front of his eyes to force himself to pay attention to it. Why was he having such a hard time understanding this? It's just numbers! Kitty was combing through the shelves in the library for books on amnesia. Specifically, she was looking into anything that might say how to get your memories back after losing them. She had been going at it for almost an hour and had assembled quite an impressive collection of books to study. When at last she thought she had enough she turned and headed for the study tables. As she walked she flipped one of the books open (on concussions) and began reading.
So unfocused on her surroundings was she that she didn't even notice that she was walking right into one of the tables - until it was too late!
BUMP! Her knees bumped into the table, causing her to tumble forward and for her books to fall into the table she had fallen into. "Sorry!" she gasped as she realized that there was a student at the table. |

A stack of books hit the table with a THUD, and his notes flew off the table, scattering on the floor around him. "Hey, watch it!" he said angrily, bending over to grab his notes without even looking to see who'd bumped the table.
He looked up and immediately recognized the intruder. It was that Ravenclaw girl from Professor Myers's office, the one he accompanied to the hospital wing. He was glad to see her feeling better and, well, not acting like a zombie. "Oh, Hi, Kitty," he said, giving her a small smile. Then he noticed the book in her hands. "Is that a good book you're reading?" At least it couldn't be more boring than Arithmancy!

She was just starting to gather up her books again when he noticed who she was and seemed to calm down, even greeting her by name. She relaxed. "Hey Fiyero, how are you? I'm sorry for bumping you, it was just that I was reading when I was walking and I forgot there was a table here." Then she showed him her book. "This is a book on amnesia. I lost a few weeks of my memory and have no idea what I did then. So I'm trying to get those memories back."
Because Kitty did not remember anything that happened in that period, though she had been informed that she had been asking for a "stone." No one told her about how she had also asked Fiyero for his rose thorns and no one told her that he brought her up to the hospital wing. "Er...what are you reading?" |

Fiyero laughed a little when Kitty said she forgot there was a table there; crashing into stuff was certainly something he could relate to! "I'm fine, thanks," he replied. "Just doing a bit of studying. For some reason, I just can't get the hang of Arithmancy!" He closed his book and set his notes aside. Honestly, he was grateful for the distraction!
He blinked. Amnesia? He assumed he must be referring to that zombie episode she had before the Christmas holiday. It took every bot of self-control he had not to roll his eyes at the memory of that day in the hospital wing. Glad that was over! "Well, I don't know anything about getting memories back, but maybe I could fill in some details for you, if you want," he offered, unsure if she remembered that day of if somebody else might've told her. He pulled the chair next to him out from the table. "Here, would you like to sit down?"

If you want I could show you some of my notes, they might be helpful." Vaguely she wondered if it was rare for someone in one house to offer to help someone in another house with homework unless they were very, very close. They WERE in a competition for points after all. But Kitty was helpful by nature (when she wasn't being shy) and didn't think offering Fiyero help to be out place. Besides, he was offering to help her with something much more important than points. "Er...thanks," she said, and she moved to sit down on teh chair he was pointing towards. "Maybe you could help," she said as she straightened her books. "The last thing I remember was staring at my reflection in my hand mirror in the courtyard. Then...blank. I found myself on my knees in Charms and having points deducted for interrupting class. From what I've heard from the others, it appears that I was looking for a stone and acting rather zombielike the whole time. And...that's all I know." Privately Kitty doubted he would be able to add anything new to what she already knew. If he was in Ravenclaw then maybe, since they lived together - but as he was Gryffindor she found it less likely. Still, it was nice of him to offer his help and Kitty appreciated him for it. |

If he was in Ravenclaw then maybe, since they lived together - but as he was Gryffindor she found it less likely. Still, it was nice of him to offer his help and Kitty appreciated him for it. Fiyero gave Kitty a grateful smile; he hadn't expected her to offer to help him! "Thanks, Kitty," he said, though secretly he didn't know how much good it would do. He didn't think any amount of notes was going to help him; he was just too thick to understand the subject, no matter how it was presented! "I'd like to take a look at them a bit later."
But first things first. He looked at Kitty, his eyes dead serious as she sat down. "You were looking for more than just a stone, Kitty," he said. Wow, that came out sounding a lot more blunt than he'd intended! "There was one day where you were in Professor Myers's office looking for rose thorns. I showed up not long after you - somebody ransacked the Gryffindor dorm and destroyed my color-changing rose - you know, the ones he gave us at the start of the term? Anyway, I was going to ask him if he could help me save it, but he was busy with you."
He paused for a minute to give Kitty a chance to absorb this information before he continued, "As soon as I told him what happened, he panicked and went to check his greenhouses. He told me to take you to the hospital wing, and I bribed you with the thorns from my plant to get you to come with me. When we got there, we had to wait for the healer, and you got a bit..." What was the word he should use? "Impatient." "I knew you'd leave as soon as you had the thorns, so I didn't give them to you all at once and you got really angry." He ran a hand through his hair. "For what it's worth, I'm really sorry I lied to you about those thorns. I just couldn't think of anything else to keep you in the hospital wing."
Fiyero decided to take a break before he told her the part about Professor Newton coming in and the other zombie students. This was probably going to be a lot for her to take in, and she might have questions about what he'd already told her. He looked nervously back at Kitty. Was he going to be angry with him again when she learned he lied to her? He hoped not... he wasn't sure how he'd handle that!

She listened with growing shock as he explained everything that happened: about how she had wanted thorns, (imagine that!) how he had promised them to her, and how she had gotten mad at him for not giving them to her right away. When he was finished she had to force herself to close her mouth to stop looking so undignified. "You don't have to apologize," she told him earnestly. "I wasn't myself. Personally I think it would have been best if someone had made me stay at the Hospital Wing until I got better." That way there wouldn't be any embarrassing moments for her to wince at later. "If you had made a promise to me when I was normal, and you didn't keep it, then you should apologize - but that's not what you did. So...I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable when you were just trying to help." "What happened next?" Kitty asked eagerly, though somewhat nervously. |

Fiyero was glad Kitty didn't get angry about the thorns again like thought she might. That would've been awkward! He gave her a small smile when she she apologized to him "It's okay. I know you weren't in your right mind when it happened," he said. "I'm just glad you're not angry about it now."
He couldn't blame Kitty at all for being surprised at his story. In fact she was a lot calmer than he thought she'd be. He didn't think he'd take the news anywhere near as well as she was if somebody told him he'd been poking around looking for thorns and acting like an angry zombie! He decided to give her some time for the shock to wear off and waited until she asked him what happened next to go on. "Anyway, Professor Newton came in with Azura,; Fiyero continued, "and Mr. Kittridge was there with Hadley Denaker. Then Professor Yoon and one of the Slytherin prefects brought a Hufflepuff boy - apparently whatever was making you act... you know, all zombified, affected other students too."
He paused for a minute before going on, "So Professor Newton gave you and the others some kind of potion-" What was it called again? Some long E-word... "I think he said it was an electrolyte solution - and I gave you some more thorns to get you to drink it. Then he sent everybody back to their dormitories."
He thought for a minute, trying to figure out why Kitty stayed a zombie do much longer than the others. ]B]"Everyone else went back to normal pretty soon after drinking the potion, but you didn't come around until Charms class,;[/B] he said. "I'm not sure why... maybe the potion had a delayed effect on you?" That was his best guess.
And that was all he knew. When he finished speaking, he looked back at Kitty,trying to gauge her reaction. He knew it wasn't much, but he hoped the information he had helped her!
