"Mouse!... Erm...Mice?"

[christee]

Seanna sat in one of the chairs in the Library nonchalantly reading her book on a Potions and was immersed in a particular part of the book that mentioned how to 'Beautify" yourself, when she saw something brown run across the floor.

Seanna blinked and looked at the floor, then she shook her head, thinking her eyes were doing tricks on her, surly it wasn't a mouse...but it wasn't a mouse it was mice?, because once again Seanna saw something brown run across the floor.

Seanna got up from her chair and decided to investigate the part of the wall in the library where the mice seemed to be running to. Sure enough, there was a a little mouse hole there and at that precise moment a mouse decided to run into it, causing Seanna to quickly hop up on a chair that was there near the wall.

"M...M...Mouse!" Seanna called out to no one in particular, still standing on the chair and not getting off until someone came.

" Huh? " Dan said suddenly, hearing someone cry out. He jerked his head up from the book he had been immersed in for so long his neck started to hurt. The voice had come from somewhere to his left, he then got up and followed the voice until he found her. " You ok up there? " He then asked the Hufflepuff who had jumped on the chair for some unknown reason to him. He looked up to her with a curious gaze then smiled slightly, waiting.

"N-n-n-no!" Seanna said to the boy that had came around the corner and then another mouse came flying from the library's vicinity into the mouse hole. "Mouse!" Seanna cried again, not getting down from the chair.

[dan]

" What? "He said. Dan hear the small 'pitter-patter' of his or her;s, he couldn't tell, feet just as she had told him where it was coming form. " Oh, " He said, looking down to see one last mouse scurry into his mouse hole. " There are lots of mice here. Mostly taken care of by the other creatures... " He commmented to her, not at all worrying about some mice that happened to find their way into the library.

[christee]

"Creatures?, you mean besides mice?, creatures that eat the mice?" Seanna rambled, looking wide eyed at the boy; "What creatures could possibly want to eat mice?" Seanna had to ask, but she was not sure whether or not she wanted the answer.

[dan]

" Erm, why don't we get you down from there? " Dan quickly suggested to the girl, avoiding the subject slightly. He noticed that the mice seemed to either have found another route to taek, avoiding the commotion or had stopped completely. Then, seeing that he might as well answer her question Dan said, " Yes. You know, cats? " He offered to her with a question-like tone.

[christee]

Senna let out an embarrassed laugh, "Of course!, cats, I forgot all about cats, I'm terrified of mice you see, so I'm not clearly thinking straight" Seanna told the boy, stepping down of the chair, carefully.

Seanna took a few deep breathes once she was down of the chair and she took a peek at the mouse hole; "They've seemed to have stopped running into the hole" Senna claimed, stepping a few feet away from the mouse hole just in case.

[dan]

He nodded as she took a careful step down from the chair. Dan smiled slightly as the girl's back as she went to inspect the mouse hole, seeming to find the mice done moving.
" I think you scared them a bit. " Dan mentioned to her, his kind smile still in place. " I'm sure they'll be fine, though. Unless you threw a book at them...? " He said, trailing off as he noticed a book strewn across the floor, a few pages several feet away. Dan then went to pick them up.

Seanna managed to smile back at the boy, she was getting calmer by the minute, just knowing that the mice weren't likely to come back for a while, but the embarrassment of what she would've looked like up on that chair was sinking in and she could feel her face grow warm as a small blush crept on her cheeks.

"Yes, well, I might've knocked a few books down in my hurry to get up on the chair, but I don't think any of the books got the mice though" Seanna told the boy, though she couldn't be too sure that a book didn't get a mouse; "Oh!, I'm Seanna by the way"

[dan]

Dan almost grinned as the girl now identified as Seanna exlaimed this, he noticed a small blush on her face, Dan had been wondering what her name was. " Dan Weston, " He said to her, offering her a hand. " Nice to meet you. And I think the mice are fine, " He said with a nod over to the book.

[christee]

"The mice are probably a bit shaken up though, I'd imagined" Seanna said, shaking Dan's hand; "I mean, I must've made quite a noise" Seanna said, going over and picking up her potion's book.

[dan]

Dan nodded once again as Seanna then shook his hand. " Maybe just a little bit. " He said with a smile. As she went to retrieve her book he looked back to his own table to just make sure no one had checked out his book or anything. He had been waiting for that book for about two weeks and had just now got his hands on it. Jerking his head back Dan asked to Seanna, " The book ok? "

[christee]

Seanna grinned at Dan; "Yeah, the book's okay, pages are still intact and everything" Seanna told him, placing the book into her bag, "What brings you to the library?, I mean, besides saving me from those mice" Seanna asked Dan, sitting down on the chair she had once stood upon.

[dan]

" Allright, " Dan replied to Seanna as she placed the book back into her bag for safe-keeping, he thought. " The library? " Dan questioned then said, " Well, I first came down to the library it was to see if a book I've been waiting for came in and it did so I began reading. What brought you to the library, besides to be saved from the mice? " He asked with a smile.

[christee]

"The same as you, I mean, the part where you came to the library and started to read, that's what I was doing when those mice ruined my plans" Seanna informed Dan, "So what book was it that came in?" Seanna asked, looking down at the pile of the books.
