Stained Glass Windows On the far end of the library there is a large stained glass window. The window features various small animals enjoying books. In the background, a wolf can be seen pacing. Fear not though, young readers, the wolf is there simply awaiting his turn to read the newest edition of Witch Weekly. While the featured artwork may seem juvenile to some students, there is something here for everyone. Beneath the stained glass windows are cushioned benches lining the wall. Set a short distance away, there are couches and chairs. There is also a singular student desk facing the window. Come early and you just might be lucky enough to claim that prized spot. Feel free to take a seat and enjoy some sunlight as you study. The windows are charmed to shine during library hours no matter what the weather outside may be. As always, please remember to be respectful to those around you, this is a library after all. Please also remember to respect school property at all times. While the windows are protected by spells, the librarian may not be as forgiving to anyone who threatens the serenity of |
Loves of our lives ♥ (Kerri) Nothing felt like comfort better than being in the library for Rooney and often, since being back at school, he brought Olivia with him. It was nice to have her around when he was reading for all sorts of reasons. Mainly now because it meant he could keep an eye on her, but also spend time with her without them having to actually do anything. Company was the winner, right now and Rooney Bronwyn was winning. His girlfriend was the prettiest, the loveliest and made him feel so very much at ease. He sat at one end of a window seat, with the Gryffindor girl at the other end as he bumped feet with hers to catch her attention instead of interrupting his flow of reading. Which was exactly what he was doing right now and did most days. Today, they were working through his battered version of Les Mis and it would clearly take a few days to make their way through it. Luckily, he had no big exams to be doing this year and so he had been able to cut down his studying time. Especially now that he was needed. |
This place was often visited by the young slytherin. She liked books. She liked libraries because they smelled like books. It reminded her of her mum's library back home, but this one was MUCH bigger. Her mother would LOVE a library this big. Well, she probably already did since she went to Hogwarts, too... Natalie wasn't looking for anything in particular, but she had already picked up a couple books on plant care and mermaids that she was carrying in her arms. She got to the end of a row of shelves and paused there to look at the window. That seat looked comfy. Maybe she'd stay and read here instead of the noisy common room... |
Deniz? :D This was weird because Skylar was never in the library; it was that she didn't care about studies or books, because on the contrary, she very much cared about studies if it helped her to be successful. And while she might not have been as into reading as her older siblings, she could still appreciate a good book. Sometimes. But right now what she really wanted was just a quiet place, that was away from sweet feeding professors, to reflect upon the last few months, and not freeze while doing so. Because while she undoubtedly could have found quiet outside, it was Scotland in December, and no thank you. Taking a seat on the couch with the sunlight basking in on her, Skylar pulled her feet up behind her, a copy of her transfiguration book on her lap, but not opened yet, because it was thinking time. |

.......there was a person there, who not only occupied her favourite seat, but also existed. Her journal was her most private possession, she even put up a really nasty hex on it to deter those who wasn't her from reading it. However... this person was here, very much alive, and could peek at what she was writing. The hex didn't stop THAT. So obviously, this person had to leave. "Hey!" she greeted the person cheerfully, "I don't think we've ever met! I'm Katherine, you?" |
meeeeeeeermaids? :3 Quote:
Which is what brought him to the library today. A few books of Mermish tucked under his arm, Derf made his way through the shelves and wove through the occasional student or two in search of somewhere quiet to sit. Most of the study tables were full...and last time he had tried to practice his Mermish at one of those he had been HUSHED and glared at by others...so that was out...OH THESE WINDOWS! Skipping over to the remaining vacant seat, Deft flopped himself down in it and cracked open one of the topmost book and began immediately practicing the words within. "Faa---raa---rii..." |
Quote:
So much for quiet. There was someone cheerful greeting her standing over, and looking like she was about to hex Skylar out of the seat that she most rightfully claimed, because it was empty. But her cheerful exclamations were definitely a relief because a moment prior, well, Sky wasn't so sure. "Skylar. I've seen you in classes," she nodded. "You can have a seat, if you'd like?" Because it was kind of make her slightly uncomfortable having her stand. "Were you going to be studying something?" Cause maybe, if she was working on transfiguration, Sky could use her for help, since she was ninety percent sure the girl was older than her. Though she couldn't be too sure, because she was also sure she'd seen first years that looked older than her, so who knew? The girl was in Ravenclaw though, so if anything she could also ask Noah about her. Though she'd wait before mentioning her brother in Ravenclaw; needed to first know the girl's intentions by approaching. |
mermaaaaids! Quote:
However, not long after she had opened her book and begun reading, she heard somebody making noise. With their face. It sounded strange and definitely not like english. Wrinkling her nose, the young slytherin looked up and saw them. HIM. The cat poop boy from that care of magical creatures class. The expression on her face immediately turned sour. "I'm trying to read here," she said with a sassy tone and showed him her book. SEE? READING. |
Text Cut: Jess Oh, so the Skylar person had a strong memory, which wasn't surprising for a Slytherin. Had to know who they had offended and all. Katherine did want to have a seat alright, but she wanted to be alone. She knew better than to say that, obviously, so she sat down... next to the girl. Because if you acted onoxious, people usually left. Her face showing absolutely nothing but joy at having met someone new (like those over-excited first years, ew), she shook her head. "I was actually going to write down in my journal." So maybe, the girl would take the message and leave? Hmm? "What about you? Going to study transfiguration?" She COULD do that in the other parts of the library, y'know. Just saying. |
LOL...our charries never get along XD Quote:
Derf was just a tiny bit too engrossed in his Mermish practice to notice that he was not alone and had it not been the pause between takes because he needed to breathe he wouldn't have heard her at all. But since he HAD, the first year peeked up from his book all wide eyed and grinned at the girl - it had not yet registered in his brain that she was the same girl who had KICKED him in class. "Me too!" he chirped. "Well...practice is-s-s the better word." Read and practice. |
THEY NEVER DO. This needs to change.. eventually. Quote:
Natalie rolled her eyes. "Well, do you think you could practice somewhere else? Like, where no one can hear you?" Because he was talking FAR too loud for a library. And Natalie had kind of already decided that she didn't like this boy for flinging cat litter everywhere, so she didn't want him here. Picking her mermaid book back up, she covered her face with it so it might encourage him to LEAVE so she could read in peace. |
Quote:
"Or...you could practice wiff me?" he suggested instead, pointing at her book and then lifting his up for her to see properly. Mermaids...and Mermish! "I'm going to ask the ones-s-s living in the Black Lake to help me catch a grindylow." |
Quote:
Oh. He was learning Mermish? She was learning about mermaids! She wanted to learn Mermish too, so if she went swimming in the lake she could reason with them and not get kidnapped. She heard stories about the creatures living in the lake and all she wanted to do was swim in peace when the weather got warmer. The offer was tempting, but she also still DIDN'T LIKE him because of the CAT LITTER thing. Natalie looked at him and thought real hard. Maybe she could put aside her dislike for the boy to learn Mermish. "Fine," she said, closing her book. "But it doesn't mean I forgive you." For the cat litter thing. Grudges were real. |
Quote:
Flopping into his seat once again, Derf turned his Mermish book back to the start and was in the middle of reaching into his pockets for his flashcards when the rest of her words caught up with his brain. "Forgive?" the blonde blinked, brain not able to connect the dots what so ever at the moment for some reason. "For what?" he asked, pulling out not his flashcards but his warty newt, Scamander, instead. |
Quote:
"Erm.. nothing," she said, deciding not to bring it up. Because no one wanted to study with someone who bruised their shins. "Where should we start?" |
Quote:
Shrugging, BUT NOT FORGETTING, Derf turned his attention back to the book with a grin. "With hello," he said confidently. He didn't NEED to look at the textbook for that. "O-kee'-ya." He flipped the pages back to the front so she could see the words on the page in case she learned better with visual clues and pointed. |
Quote:
Not that Skylar would suggest that, because the girl hadn't suggested she leave her alone. However, if the girl did suggest such a thing, well she would make sure to inform her of the other opportunities. "Yes, today is a transfiguration day. I won't bother you from writing though. I'm a quiet reader." Except when she was practicing incantations, but she knew this was a library and knew there were better places to practice her spellwork. |
Quote:
"Do you already know a lot?" she asked suddenly, looking over at him. Because if he did she was going to feel stupid. She wanted to be SMARTER than him... for some reason. Either way, she had to be FLUENT in mermish by the time spring came along. "What's next?" she asked with a little bounce. "Goodbye?" |
Quote:
"Which year are you?" she asked abruptly, completely ignoring her words. Although she didn't look older, maybe she was and could help her with... something. |
Quote:
"Not a lot," he replied with a shake of the head. "But dad works-s-s wiff aquatic plants-s-s all the time and is-s fluent in Mermish s-s-so he can talk wiff them anywhere his-s-s res-search takes-s him s-so he taught me s-s-some." He knew a lot more than hello and goodbye though."Goodbye is jai-quay." |
Open for anyone Noelle was by the stained glass windows. With exams coming up, the tables were crowded and she really didn't want anyone to see what she was looking up. She had made a space for herself, along with 4 or 5 books. She was looking for something.... Noelle flipped through one of the books while the other 4 were stacked beside her. She was sitting cross legged with the book in her lap. She was hunched over it, willing her eyes to find what she was looking for. She'd already been through 3 or 4 books and had returned them and had gotten some more. She was on a mission. |
Quote:
"Excuse me, but is this you book?" Eliot asked while she stood up to retrieve the book. |
Quote:
"Hmm What?" Noelle asked before looking down and seeing there was on all four on the ground. Oh dear. "Are you alright?" She asked closing the book but keeping her finger on the page so she didn't loose it. She uncrossed her legs and leant a hand to help her up. |

"OOoooh!" she said (as it was the only thing she COULD say with her lips in such a position) and then she swatted the boys hand away from her face. "Hey!" Natalie eyed the boy with furrowed brows and rubbed her cheeks where he pinched her. "I can make duck lips without your help." Just so he knew. Natalie lightened up significantly when he said that his dad could speak Mermish. "Really?! So he's talked to, like, real mermaids?" she asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and excitement. |
