[Library] Some Stimulation Please

[Ellie Rook]

The days seemed to grow shorter and shorter as the winter passed on. Even though it wasn't even holiday break yet, Ellie couldn't help but feel like the year was dragging on. Classes, Head Girl duties, homework, and just stuff seemed to pile on her schedule. Ellie would have greatly welcomed anything interesting happening, anything at all. She would even accept a life threatening situation at this point, but she had no such luck.

A book was open on her lap as she sat on a bench outside. It was a mild day and her layers were sufficiently to keep her decently warm. Even her jacket was unbuttoned showing her purple sweatshirt which matched her purple scarf which wrapped around her neck. She was topped off with a black pom-pom hat which Ellie loved because she could feel the pom-pom bounce as she walked. Her fingerless gloves weren't doing anything as she starred off into space, the wind blowing the pages of the open book.

Ellie felt the sharp tug of one of the pages on her finger and small sting. "Ouch." She said, bringing herself back to earth. She had been completely spacing out, shutting her brain down for a couple minutes. She looked at her left hand pointer finger. A little cut and a little blood was visible. She immediately put it in her mouth and sucked on it. Not a nice way to come to reality.

"I need some stimulation." Ellie said slamming the book closed. She place her hands on the cover and tapped it, looking around to see if anyone she knew was in the vicinity. The sun was high in the sky and was casting a glare on the snow just feet away in the lawn. Somewhere in the distance she could hear a snowball fight or some ruckus, but she didn't have the mind to get up and wander to find it. "Anything, anyone." Ellie murmured realizing how sad her lonely existence had been. She tapped the book anxiously as the wind blew her hair into her face.

[Alexis Heart]

Alexis loved to play Quidditch it was her thing and there was nothing she wouldn't do for the game, but forcing them to practice when it was freezing cold outside was something she could do without. Of course this was more her fault then their captains because she didn't really layer up the way she should have so when she was flying up in the air the cold seemed to affect her even more, but she was determined to blame this one someone else entirely. After all the season was over for now, holidays were coming up soon what was the point of practicing now. The team was good damn good in her opinion so they didn't need to have all these extra practices but forget telling that to their illustrious captain. Alexis was never happier in her life then when that whistle blew and they were told practice was over.

When Alexis landed she could hear the grass under her feet crunch loudly. It was a mark of how cold it was and she shook her head while she turned and marched to the broom cupboard to replace the school broom she had borrowed. Hers was nice and safe in her room and she hadn't had time to take it with her because she was late for practice and didn't need to be reprimanded or anything. She didn't much like the school brooms because you never knew what you were going to get but she had been at the school long enough to know which brooms to stay away from. She picked old rusty --that's what she named it--and they worked well together. When she put him back she made sure she put it in the same spot she normally did so she would find him again if she needed him.

By the time she was done putting the broom away the rest of the team had disappeared, "thanks a lot team" she muttered under her breath shaking her head as she watched the white smoke that had billowed around her after she spoke vanish in the air. Not feeling much like going back up to the castle despite being cold Alexis decided to walk the grounds. She walked in on a snowball fight and almost got hit her urge was to stay and fight but a voice rang out through the crowd the others didn't hear it because they were wrapped up in their own issues, but Alexis had and she walked in the direction of the voice.

Reaching it she noticed it was Ellie Alexis looked at her wondering what was wrong "Hey you OK?" she asked concern shadowing her face as she looked at the older girl wondering if she wanted to be alone or something.

[Ellie Rook]

"Hey you OK?"

Ellie spun around her hair blowing straight into her eyes. She wiped away her hair to see a dark hair, blue eyed Ravenclaw standing in front of her. "Alexis!" Ellie said, taking the steps to her and wrapping her arms around the girl. It was a rather strange act for Ellie, but this is how desperation had made her go crazy. "I'm great, I'm good, I mean I think I may be going crazy." Ellie said after she had recovered from the fact she had given Alexis a hug.

"You know," Ellie said as she crossed her arms. "I think that 7th year slum has hit me. I don't want to do any more work and I can't be locked up in that school another minute." Ellie laughed and then sighed.

"So, what are you up to, doing anything fun or exciting at the moment?" Ellie said, the hope in her voice was overwhelming. She prayed that the Ravenclaw was on her way to slay a dragon or something. Ellie would be down for some medieval battle.
