[Library] Checkout

[karisisolde]

For saying she was a Hufflepuff, not a Ravenclaw, you wouldn't of been able to tell the past week as Karis had always been seen doing a piece of homework or revising for something.
Karis had frantically rushed to the library in search of a certain book that she had been needing to get her hands on, the last time she came, it had been checked out, and she needed it badly for an answer on a potions question. She had searched her notes and other books, but they didn't hold the answer for her. So, the afternoon before it needed to be in, she tried her luck at the library again. Placing her bag on an empty table, and placing her books next to it, she walked over to where the book should be. Her eyes scanned the spines of the books with such speed that she had to re-read them all a few times thinking she'd missed some, or simply misread them. She was stood there for about ten minutes, or what it seemed, still searching for this darn book before giving up and walking over to the Librarian and asking about it. The Librarian went over to her counter and retrieved it from the recently checked in pile. Grinning with thanks, Karis accepted it from her and joined her bag at the table.

[Anthony Rhys]

Anth was not the study kind, in fact he didnt even look through the books he was supposed to look through and he still managed to pull the grades almost out of thin air. He would have quite happily just lounged about all day today, but he knew what Vance was like and if he didnt have this homework done by tomorrow. Well Anthony didnt really like where that thought was going.

So with a solemn face he trudged rather begrudgingly and with a few pushes from fellow Puffs, he made his way to the Library. Why be here when he would prefer to be at Zonko's or something? Pushing open the doors of the Library with a rather noisy creek he walked in. Smiling at Offley in a way that said Studying not Troubling, everyone knew what kind of little rascal Tony Rhys could be.

Looking around the Library he spotted the familiar blonde head that belonged to Karis Isolde. Anth had never spoke to her, but being in the same house they knew one anothers name's if nothing else. Placing his bag down and pulling out his own Potions homework he looked at Karis. Anth had done it all apart from the thesis on why gillyweed is favoured underwater rather than the bubblehead charm.

"Do you hate Potions as much as I do?"

Plonking the overly dramatic potions book on the table, she pulled back the front cover, and searched page by page until she was nearing her answer. Karis began to search through the rare book when she heard a familiar voice. Karis seemed to have a knack for remembering things about people like names and voices, even laughs, but certain subjects, like potions just went through one ear and out the other. Nothing would stick in her head. Looking up she flashed a smile when she saw Anthony.
"Ah, my favourite scottish guy" she said in a thick Welsh accent.
"Of course I hate it. I don't know why I bothered taking it, it's a waste of time. I thought maybe I'd get better at it, but I seem to of become worse!" she gave a small laugh. She glanced back at the book and flicked another page over before looking back at Anthony.
"I'm scared to death of Vance" She admitted, blushing a little.
"So what are you doing in here? I don't recall ever seeing you in here, not once!" she said, tapping her lips with her finger in a thinking motion.

"And my favourite welsh lass!"

Anthony smiled and sat down beside her. He wasnt that bad at potions, he just hated it due to hating Vance. Never admit he was scared of him, though not including Slytherins and that Gryffindor, Sarie or whoever, who wasnt scared of him? He pulled her homework to him and looked over hers, realising he had done that part he smiled and pushed his to her in a sense to say You can look at mine if you want.

"Potions isnt that hard," He smiled, "Its just Vance gives people the heeby jeebies and they cant think right when it comes to his subject."

Anthonys scots accent was thick, but being in Hogwarts meant he was on his home turf considering Hogwarts was in Scotland. He leant back on the chair and looked at the ceiling, trying to think of the answer to the part he was upto. When it dawned on him. Of course! Gillyweed transforms your feet and hands to webbed making it easier to swim in a more fishlike way! Scribbling that down with a smile, he heard her say something else as he looked at her with a laugh.

"Im sure Vance is a pussy cat"

That wasnt true and Anth knew that. So many rumours circulated around Vance it was hard to tell the difference between the truth and a lie. He shrugged when she asked him yet another question.

"That, my dear Karis," Anth smirked, "Is because in five years, Ive only ever come in here twice. This time included"

[karisisolde]

Karis gave a big grin when Anthony replied with 'his favourite welsh lass', so much that her whole face seemed to scrunch up in delight.
When he took her homework and looked it over, and passed his back over with it, she just gave him a quick smile before reading his and after a moment she tutted.
"Oh, is that the answer? Well I knew that!...Thanks Tony, your a saint" she said, jotting down the answer in her own words. Stupidly enough, she knew that was the answer, but she didn't think that that was all it was, she expected more.
When he said potions wasn't hard, she gave a gobsmacked look.
"Not for some. I find it excrutiating. We can't all have a big brain and never have to revise like a certain Mister Rhys" she grinned. Realising she was right about never seeing Anthony in here, she raised her eyebrows in victory.
"I wish I didn't have to come in here half as much as I do, It's so boring".
"I can't ever imagine Vance to be a pussy cat, more like a lion"

[Anthony Rhys]

Anthony wasnt really what one would say great at lessons, but he was alright and for some reason, seemed to excell more in Potions than anywhere else, even though he hated Vance, and he hated that lesson, and though he loved Charms and Dan Hubbles was the best professor ever, Anth sucked at Charms. He couldnt even make his name flash different colours. How embarrassing it was for the young Hufflepuff.

"Well I aint no saint doll," Anth laughed, "But ya' welcome like"

Anth leant back in his chair, his hands behind his head as he watched Karis jot down his answer in her own words. Not that he cared much, they were in the same house and Anth, as much of a little trouble maker he could be, did not mind helping out his housemates. He gave a sort of bored sigh, the library was dull unless the crackpot librarian was yelling at someone. As if on cue, the screams of Offley Marsh began to sound.

"And this is supposed to be a quiet place."

He looked at Karis as she spoke about Anth never needing to study, this was true, Anth never needed to study and yet he always passed anyway. He gave a smirk and a small shrug. It wasnt his fault he was born with the brains, looks and confidence he was given. Blame his Scots side if you like.

"Hey, Its not my fault! Im blessed what can I say?"
"Lion, that is of the Cat species Karis"
