For the past 2 days since Azzure came to Hogwarts, she has been in search of a broom racer. Someone that she could ask about the sport, maybe get some connections... or perhaps a friend? Fortunately for her though, Azzure didn't need to look all that hard or wide. Since the first day she's been hearing buzz around 1 person. The captain from what it sounded like. Her name's Linda Ramirez. The very name commanded respect from everyone who knew it. A real hot shot within the whole of Hogwarts, not just among Gryffindors.
As the scouting for new broom racers began, the buzz around Linda only grew. However the woman was no where to be found in sight. or perhaps she just wasn't on the same delirious schedule that Azzure was. But in any case, Azzure was to learn how to become the best broom racer, Linda was the person she needed to talk to.

The day started early. By 3 am Azzure snuck out of the wampus wing and out the Gryffindor dorms, trying her best to not wake anyone up as she managed to traverse the moving staircase down to the ground floor to go the library.
She didn't know how the logistics of the magic castle worked, but she found the library doors closed. A new sense of fear arose within her. What if a teacher came by and she was caught? what if she was sent to detention for sneaking out? What if she wont get to meet Linda?
No, that- Thats something Azzure can't risk. This was her dream, and she was prepared to chase it no matter what the cost. With a deep breath, Azzure reached into the pocket of her robe, pulling out the wand she got as apart of the things her parents said she needed for Hogwarts.
The wand felt lighter than she thought it would, almost like a hard feather, perfectly tailored to her. Slowly Azzure calmed her heart, breathing in deeply, getting ready to magic the door open. When a strong gust of wind creaked the door open, causing Azzure's eyes to widen in surprise, and then flush in embracement realising how she could have saved herself the trouble by just.. checking if the door was open first.
'oh.. oh okay.' Azzure thought as she put away her wand once more and slipped into the library, making sure not to make any noise as she softly closed the door behind her.
The room was dark and eerily quiet. The sound of a clock ticking echoed throughout the whole room, though it didn't seem like time was passing. The sun was barely starting to peak through the hills but Azzure had no time to wast, she roamed the library trying to find a list of all the Hogwarts students or a yearbook of some kind. Anything, just anything about Linda Ramirez

Before my endeavor into the library at ungodly hours of the day, I had only ever known Linda through whispers I overheard through cracks in the wall. But now I had thousands of articles layed out infront of me, combing through every single one for a trace of her. it didn't matter what it was, routine, hobbies, people, all of them were fine. Azzure just needed a time and place where she'll be able to get to talk to Linda without her having her guard up. If there is anything Azzure learned from having been isolated for long since a child, the worst instances of persuasion, are the ones where the other person knew what you wanted in advance. No matter how long it takes she will comb through this whole library if it meant a chance... no, an opportunity to talk to Linda. This isn't a chance, Azzure wont let it be just " a chance." Even if it means masterminding everything, she can't loose this.
I combed through the library, looking over the rows of books and newspapers and documents. I've never liked reading much, but seeing all the literature that filled the library, I never felt more inspired to give books an actual try. But in any case, after a couple minuets of searching, Azzure came across some things documents that peaked her interest in particular. I sat down on the a section of the long table that spanned the base of a corridor of large book shelves.
The search for things about Linda Ramirez was... extensive to say the least. At one point Azzure found out that she had enlisted and join the book and gossip club along with notable people who Azzure was scared of from the mention of name alone. But as the early morning sun was beginning to filter through the windows, illuminating the library in a soft orange glow. Azzure had found that she was able to peice together a comprehensive story
Linda Ramirez, current captian of broom racing. Well respected by all, and kind to a t. Rumors of a girl who looks like her in slytherin, though it could be anybody. Last rumored, Sep 1... Where to find...
"The outdoor club area"
Having got all she needed, Azzure quietly exited the library with a plan. A plan to find a mentor.
