Kyle Sat on the edge of his bed not moving. He attempted to sleep that night but given how close the full moon was his dreams were filled with screams, howls and blood. It made him unable to get any real rest, which did nothing to help the sour mood he found himself in following the end of his friendship with Santario. When the sun finally came through the window he put on his boots and his leather jacket over his red and black plaid pajama pants and a red t-shirt that had a door with a griffin emblazoned on it. a Griffin Door if you would.
Most of Kyle's day was spent milling about the common room before he finally decided he needed to go get some air before he started setting fire to things and he went down to the lake. The place used to be peacful and relaxing to him but now it just held memories of fights and losing control of himself to the beast within. Next he wandered to the quidditch pitch and part of him thought about getting a broom or some gear and training but he ultimately was not feeling up to it and he left with a shrug before he finally just found a spot in the shade to sit and he did, eventually falling asleep there.
Kyle woke with a start, covered in a cold sweat. He could still feel dirt under his nails and blood between his teeth even as the nightmare faded away. He looked up to the sky and saw the sun was close to setting and the idea of looking at the moon right now made him sick to his stomach so he quickly picked himself up and wandered back inside. Not keen to head back to the common room he headed into the small hall and walked over towards the fireplace and he down, resting his arms on his knees as he stared at the flames. he let out a deep breath and tried to relax some, letting the warmth of the fire seep through him. he would head back to the dorm later...but for now, this was nice.

If the Librarian didn't wake her up, she would continue to sleep in the Library and still in her robe. Realized that it was already evening and way past dinner time, Griseldis really wanted to smack herself on the forehead. How could she missed dinner! And this was the first time that she fell asleep in a public place. Letting out a weary sigh, she apologized to the Librarian for causing trouble but also didn't forget to give them a thankful bow for waking her up. Griseldis quickly gathered her papers, and a bunch of hardcover books that almost reached her eyes in her arms then exited the Library quietly.Interacting with @Kyle DeRook
While walking in the hallway alone, Griseldis had been thinking about the terrible things that happened in the last two months. Stopping a fight when she just became a new Prefect, losing the very first Quidditch game against the Ravenclaws due to misfortune events within their team and escaping the chaos in the Masquerade Ball. This year was certainly very eventful compared to her peaceful first year. But Griseldis was the type of person who would continue to stay positive no matter, she was taught by her wise grandfather that no matter what kind of hardship she would encounter in her life, we should remember them and try to learn from them so we would know how to perpare for the better.
Then Griseldis suddenly remembered that she still had one more Charm homework to do, luckily, there was still enough time before bedtime. So far she knew that in the Gryffindor Common Room or her Dorm Room wouldn't be an ideal place to study because even during the evening, most Gryffindors were known to be crowded and loud. Well, she didn't mean it in a negative way, it was simply one of the traits from a Gryffindor, mostly active and full of energy. The Gryffindor girl decided to go read the books in a Small Hall, there was a fireplace as well that could give her some warmth and peace. When she arrived here, there was only one person who was sitting in front of the fireplace in their pajamas on. Griseldis wasn't sure who it was but it would be polite to greet them first.
Just when Griseldis was about to take one step forward, she noticed a tiny black creature with eight legs crawled on top of the book cover, staring right at her with its eight black eyes. The realization about what it was hit her like a strike of lightning. She yelped in pure fear and threw her hands up, all the papers and the books been tossed up in mid-air. One thick book that looked heavy landed on the Gryffindor girl's head causing her to fell flat on the floor and her whole back was now covered in papers and books. It took Griseldis a moment until she let out a painful groan, "Ouch..."
OOC note: If you haven't read Gris's profile or Encyclopedia, she has Arachnophobia.

Kyle wasn't sure what it was about the fire that put him at ease. Was it the warmth? The melodic crackling of the flames? the orange glow? The smell of heat and ash? Whatever it was, he enjoyed it. He would have continued sitting there in utter silence watching the flames until someone came by and ordered him to head up to bed. That is until the interruption.
A yelp, a crashing of books and paper, and the pained groan suddenly from behind him ripped kyle from his thoughts and back into the moment. With a frustrated grumble he stood up and turned around to face the disruption face to face. "For fucks sake! can't a guy get a FEW minutes of-" as he tore into them something stood out. The buns on either side of her head. There was only person who wore those as far as he was ware and that was Gris. A fellow Gryffindor and one his first string Chasers.
Kyle pinched the bridge of his nose and let out a heavy sigh. "Cakes, the hell are you doing? Screaming and throwing books around?" he slid his hands into his pockets as he spoke to the girl, not bothering to close the space between them or try to help her up.

At first, she heard the boy cursed in a very angry tone but changed all of a sudden as if the person recognized who she was. Griseldis tried her best to ignore the pain and slowly sit up then looked up to see who the boy was. And to her surprise, it was her Quidditch Captain, Kyle DeRook. Why was he here alone in the small hall in his dirty pajamas?Interacting with @Kyle DeRook
She watched as her captain pinched the bridge of his nose and let out a very tired sigh. "Cakes, the hell are you doing? Screaming and throwing books around?", she didn't know since when he began to call her Cakes as a nickname but she never really care what others would call her, at least the nickname was kinda cute and not a bad name at all so she just let him without complaining. Then she remembered why she screamed, quickly looked around her but it looked like that tiny black creature with eight legs was no longer to be seen anywhere. Griseldis placed a hand to her chest, she could feel her heartbeat went back to normal. She closed her eyes and let out a relieved sigh as if the danger was finally gone, "Thank Merlin..." Took her a few minutes to calm herself a bit, then she looked up at Kyle again, "I'm really sorry for disturbing your peace, Captain. I really didn't mean to but it's just that...there was a spider on top of the book and I'm...scared of spiders...very VERY much." Griseldis explained to him and didn't even try to hide her fear of spiders because sooner or later anyone would find out eventually so there was no point to hide at all. That was the reason why she would rather admitted it to him. Her grandfather once told her, it was a human thing to have their own fear, that was why they should overcome them with a will but Griseldis still wasn't sure when that day would ever come to fight against her own fear.
Griseldis began to gather the books and the papers that were scattered everywhere on the floor, she was too embarrassed at this point to even consider to ask her captain to help her. It was, after all, really her own fault for being so clumsy.
