Some reading, and Sneaking - Blaze-

[Katherine Lansing]

Walking up the stairs was enough to make any wizard or witch sweat their dinner off. The many flights of stairs had always been a hassle for Katherine, especially when they would randomly switch around. She wished they'd at least give someone a warning, before switching in the middle of her climb to the fourth floor. After what seemed like ages of walking, climbing, waiting, and climbing again, she finally eached it. The doors to the Hogwart's Library.

Waltzing smoothly inside, she made sure that the door closed quielty behind her. Turning around to face the room,her eyes scanned the shelves briefly, before deciding on which one she wanted to look through. Walking over to it, she swung her hands neatly behind her, and clasped them loosely. Once walking to the middle of the aisle, Katherine pulled her reading glasses from the back pocket of her maroon skirt, and slipped them on her thin face. She tugged her white, long sleeved, button up shirt down a bit as her eyes scanned the shelf for anything that looked like a good read. This went on for three, or four, more shelves, before she was satisifed with one book. What was the book named, you may wonder? The Heart of Astrology: How to read the stars.

Taking a seat by one of the few windows in the library, Katherine propped the book up and opened the front cover neatly. Sliding her hand across the front page, she leaned her chin into the palm of her free hand, and started to read it. She had always been interested in Astrology, and even had her parents buy her a very scientific telescope, complete with a hands free view. She remembered spending hours outside with her father, watching the stars and finding different planets. Then, before she went to bed, she'd look them all up in her book about stars and galaxies. The memories would haunt her forever, but she didn't mind. It was the memories that kept her going.

Crossing her legs smoothly, Katherine tugged at her skirt a bit, as she turned the first page and started reading once more, returning her hands into her lap. She was only a page into the book, and was already hooked.

[Blaze Wolfe]

The library? That was hardly a place Blaze was expected to be. She loved to read, yes, but she spent almost all of her time in the presence of people. Blaze, easily said, was the biggest social butterfly anyone had seen. She spent all of her time with at least one another girl or with Tinder - maybe Harry or Ron occasionally. Rarely was she ever seen alone. That was just before they went back into the past. Now, through the empty castle Blaze walked with one girl at least. The castle that, once had been the home to all of the students at Hogwarts, was home to just the DA for now as they had arrived before summer was over. That was probably the best though. If the DA had appeared in the middle of the year, suddenly, together, that would have been more than a little suspicious looking.

Going back to the past had also given the students some odd chance happenings. Harry and Blaze had stumbled on dementors in the forest a few weeks back, she’d practically mauled Draco Malfoy as a tiger and Tinder…It had been the oddest but most amazing feeling in Blaze’s life. She’d never thought about boys much in the past what with the DA and Order things and it had really bitten her in the ass. But it was just the night before, around this time, that Blaze had fallen over her shoes in the Quidditch field, Tinder toppling over her. It had been just shy touching at first before the two had kissed once, for a moment, and then twice, turning it into a full out snog session. She was almost positive they’d both been each other’s first kiss.

Blaze’s mind was still on it as she rested in the library, sitting in a section with her legs bent and pulled close to her chest and a book open on her knees. Her bag rested in front of her legs, covering her, though she doubted anyone would be in here at this time of night. However, she was proven wrong as Katherine entered the library. Blaze watched for a moment as she took to a table a few minutes later, with a book. She seemed not to notice Blaze there.

Standing, Blaze held the book and pulled the bag over her shoulder. She stepped over, her button down sleeves rolled up. Her skirt was rolled at the waist slightly, shortening it. Her tie hung, loose, around her neck.

Blaze smiled as she slid the book on the table in front of Kath.

“What’s a girl like you doin’ in a dump like this?” Blaze stuck her tongue out.
