Impromptu study session

[ellie]

Ellie had had to set herself for an afternoon of studying. She had had plans with her brother that sort of fell through, so she decided to spend some time studying instead. While she would have rather been given a chance to have a nice conversation with her brother, she also needed to study. Plus the boy was busy with some little Hufflepuff gather in of his own.

The Ravenclaw almost felt bad for pushing her brother into the social event. Anything with the word ‘ social ‘ in it tended to scare Beau off. The reason she didn’t feel bad, though, was because he needed some friends. Ellie’s own friends seemed to come and go, leaving and entering the school randomly and at odd intervals. She learned to not really count on them sticking around for forever, but just to enjoy the time she had with them at the moment. Plus it was terrible seeing her brother so darn lonely. He never admitted to it, but the girl knew better. How could someone go on living life happily without the joy of friends? As far as she knew, they couldn’t.

Her mind was jumbled with random thoughts about exams, her brother, making friends and her lessons as she descended the stairs on her way to the second floor. She watched in amusement as a small group of first years got caught on a stair case that had just started moving. Ellie could hear the twittering young voices complaining about the moving stairs. In her five years at the school, Ellie had grown used to it.

She passed the group of first years on the next floor down and sent a smile their way.

Ellie readjusted the satchel on her shoulder as she entered the library. It was dusty, musty and old, but she loved it all the same. Her outfit was fitting for what she was about to do, consisting of a pair of skinny jeans, a gray shirt, and a black blazer over it. Her hair was tied up into a loose ponytail, her bangs off to the side and out of her way. Setting her books down on an empty table, the girl took a seat, taking a moment to look around before she opened her Muggle Studies book and began to review some more. Her thoughts went uninterrupted, the way she liked it.

[Tianne Webster-Barrett]

Tianne had not done any studying. She had promised herself that this year, she would concentrate purely on her school work, but, as you could blatantly see, Seth, Matty and Ryan were taking up most of her energy and commitment. The girl usually got to sit down, and read a book or two, but lately, she was just too tired from her day to do so, and the raven knew that there was something that had to be changed about that. She still had no idea what she was going to set her sights on pursuing after Hogwarts but there were a few thigns that she had in mind.

Ever since her meeting with Professor Griffiths, the history of magic teacher, she had been considering being a historian. The man had offered her an apprenticeship, as he himself was a historian, but Tianne knew that she had to investigate other professions before she could do so. Yeah, that would be interesting, but there were a few other things that Tianne was considering.

Deciding to head off to the library, Tianne gave her kitten a pat. She grinned, as the cat was curled up in a pair of Tee's jeans, and it really didn't seem like she was going to move any time soon. Walking out of her dormitory, and down the stairs, the girl smiled at a few people, and waving to a couple, walked out the door, hoping that no one was going to stop her. Even if it was just for a nice chat, Tianne was on a mission, and there was nothing that was going to stop her now that she had left the common room.

Finding her way quickly to the library on the second floor, Tianne found a book on potions, transfiguration and muggle studies. She planned on reading these books from start to finish, or close to that, anyways. Tianne was wearing a white t-shirt, and a pair of red shorts, that reached down to her knees and hugged to her slender and petite frame. Over her shirt she wore an unbuttoned grey vest, and her hair, left curly and out, hung down on her shoulders. Spotting an empty table, Tianne began to walk over, but her journey was short lived. The girl's foot got caught on the leg of a table, and immediately, she was thrown forward, tripping herself and landing straight down on the ground. "Oof." She groaned, standing up.

Before long, Tianne noticed the brown-haired girl sitting right at the table where she had tripped. Figuring that she had disrupted the girl, Tianne immediately apologized, feeling of both humiliation and fear. She never knew what the girl could do. "I am so sorry. I'm an idiot..." She mumbled the last sentence.

Electricity. Now there was an interesting subject. Ellie turned the page, interested in what the author had to say on the topic. The text started to explain just how the electricity worked. Circuits, circuit breakers, fuses, amps, ohms, and even volts were all explained in this chapter. How interesting indeed... Ellie was oblivious to everyone and everything as she read. Ellie propped her elbow up on the table and leaned her chin on her hand, lazily turning the page when she came to the end of the passage.

She moved on, now reading about more detailed things like the definitions of electric charge, electromagnetism, static electricity, and electric current. It was intruging, but not anything Ellie had never heard of before. Growing bored of the topic, she closed the book and randomly reached for a new one. History of Magic... it was one of the more boring subjects, but Ellie didn't mind flipping through the pages in search of something good to read.

She opened to a passage entitled Roman Times and started to read. A few moments later, Ellie suddenly became aware of the arrival of another person. She recognized the girl from Ravenclaw house, and some lessons, but didn't quite know her name. She was surprised to see the girl apologizing to her. Ellie quickly stood up so she was on the same level as the girl. " No, don't worry about it. Are you alright? " She asked, her expression showing her concern. How often was it that this girl tripped and fell in the library? It didn't sound too safe to Ellie.

A small smile let onto the girl's face as she introduced herself, not knowing if the girl knew who she was. " I'm Ellie, by the way. Ellie Hopkins. "
