Primrose swept into the library, followed by Faye and Blaise. I wonder if they'll have anything I'll be interested in. But how can you find anything in this mess? And all this dust... "Well, here it is. The Library. It is only a little bit larger than the one at Atherton Place. Although we hold a larger selection of Jane Austen and various collectible encylopedias, rather than," she picked up an especially dusty book and read the cover, "Various Uses for Toe Jam by Agatha Brown, or anything from that disgusting genre." She wrinkled her nose in disgust.

"You'd be surprised what you can find here." Faye said. "It's not as bad as you think. And Jane Austen's too hyped up - her novels aren't that good." Faye sniffed. She didn't know why people liked Jane Austen's novel so much. To her it, all seemed too much of a bore.

Blaise sauntered into the Library, his face lighting up. There was nothing better then a treasure trove of books. The girls stood before him, bickering about one muggle author or another, and Blaise simply stood back and gazed at the sight. He had found his safe haven for the year.

Faye caught Blaise's expression and smiled. "You seem to like this library, unlike some people." She emphasised jokingly. "It's good to have some knowledged people at this school." She sighed. She wasn't as academic as her friends and she couldn't help feel inferior all of a sudden. "Come on! I'll show you my favourite section." Faye, although not a book lover, knew where the whacky random books were. She had once snuck into the library at night when she couldn't get to sleep and found a row of strange books that had enlighted her with random facts. Although Primrose may not share the same excitement as her, she couldn't wait to show them the books.

Blaise smiled slightly. He'd never been keen on sharing the whole reading/studying experience with other people, mainly because he thought it more a personal thing, but if she was so enthousiastic about it, he might as well let her show him around.
'Er... thanks,' he muttered, following her to her "favorite section". He glanced behind him to check if Primrose was following along, not at all dampered by her lack of interest in the Library. He thought it was brilliant.

Primrose narrowed her eyes at Faye. "Have you ever even read ANYTHING that Jane Austen wrote? Pride and Prejudice is nothing short of genius! I doubt you even read the first page before you had to put it down. Way over your head." Primrose's growing tolerance for Faye dropped dramatically. She scowled at both of them.

Blaise raised his eyebrows slightly.
'You know,' he began tentatively, 'you're both entitled to your own opinion. No need to get upset...,' he mumbled. He had always hated arguing. In fact, he found the emotion of anger entirely useless all together. He fingered a small, plastic box of tic-tacs (a sugary muggle candy) in the pocket of his pants, craving one insanely, but choosing to restrain himself, due to the atmoshpere around his peers at that moment. He smiled a small, lopsided smile, at Primrose. She seemed to be quite easily stressed out.

Primrose noticed his smile, and was surprised. It wasn't exactly the reaction she was used to getting after she just yelled at someone. Caught off guard, she turned the first page of Various Uses for Toe Jam, for only the fourth time in her life not knowing what to say or do. The chapter title was enough to snap her back to attention- "Your Toe Jam and You- A relationship that will last a lifetime!" She regretted eating such a large lunch.

"I have read Pride and Prejudice." Faye said shortly. She refused to say anymore and turned to the book shelf. "Here it is." She said with a bright smile. She took a thick book out and showed it to them which titled "10 Ways to Shut a Witch Up."

"You deceitful little twit!" Primrose cried, advancing on Faye. "How dare you insult me in such a way! Though not that it matters, I have such a low opinion of your intelligence that anything that you can say MUST be ridiculous and misinformed!" she hissed. "Blaise," she said shortly, "Please to make your aquaintance. But I must leave now. I can't be near her any longer before I..." She broke off her sentence, to angry to continue, and stormed out of the library.

Blaise sighed, watching her retreating back. He turned back to Faye.
'That went well, wouldn't you say?' he commented with a light sarcasm.

"Smashingly well...I didn't mean any harm. I just picked up this book." Faye grinned mischievously. She did think Primrose overreacted sometimes, seeking unnecessary attention to herself.

Blaise gave a small smile and moved towards the book shelf. With a finger, he gently slid a book from it's place on the shelf and moved to the nearest table to sit down. Cracking the book open, Blaise flipped through the pages lazily, eyes tracing the words.
Banshee:, it read.
A dark creature with the appearance of a woman with floor-length black hair and a skeletal, green-tinged face. Its screams will kill.
Blaise raised an eyebrow. 'Sounds like mum,' he muttered.

Darius scooted in the room with the armful of the new student's baggage, and heavily dropped them onto a table, groaning.

"You didn't have to carry them, so thank you." She said in a small voice. She carfully walked over to a shelf and pulled out a random book. She sat down and opened it. It was all about the history of herbology. "Great... Plants... This will be REALLY interesting." She looked up from the book and glanced around the library, with her dark brown eyes. She spotted a girl and then a guy, standing up looking at a book. She leaned toward Darius and whispered, "Who are they?" She thought pointing was expremely rude so she left her hands on her book.
