The sound of excited voices caused Diana to glance up briefly. According to Cassie, team one only had one last letter remaining, and unfortunately, Diana was in team two. That meant that her team was really behind in the game now. That thought wasn't exactly upsetting, however it did make Diana straighten slightly where she stood. Diana still had her folded piece of parchment which had the letter 'R' and it was currently tucked away in the pocket of her jeans. She was going to hand it over to Cassie when she got the chance.

Before continuing her work, Diana adjusted one of the crooked books on the shelf. Her muted grey-green eyes were quietly scanning the spaces between the rows of books a little more closely now. Who knows, maybe she'd spot another piece of parchment? But, at the moment she didn't spot any so she went back to cleaning.

“Scourgify.” She said as she waved her wand in an 'S' shape again and the familiar bubbles spread across another dusty section of wood before fading a few seconds later. Diana then wiped away any remaining moisture with practiced ease, before shifting down the shelf.

Nearby, more conversations drifted through the library. Some club members chatted easily while cleaning together, while others excitedly discussed the game and the letters they’d found. Diana still wasn’t entirely sure how people managed to hold conversations so naturally while doing other things at the same time. Still, the atmosphere was nice and calmer than she expected it to be.

As Diana continued cleaning, she noticed a stack of books sitting rather unevenly on the edge of a shelf. A few of the books looked close to slipping off entirely. Carefully, the young raven set down her cloth and began fixing the books one by one, sliding each book back into it's proper place.

Once the books were straightened, Diana stepped away from the shelves finally and made her way toward Cassie through the aisles of the library. Reaching into her jean pocket, Diana pulled out the piece of parchment she had found earlier. “I found one earlier but didn't have the chance to give it to you,” she says as she hands the piece of parchment to the older raven. Diana didn't add that she was in team two, since surely either Cassie or Zephyr knew what team she was in.

Cassie looks at her watch. It is nearly two hours, yet neither team has collected all the letters to form the word-- library. She is a bit worried since they are running out of time! Maybe she should extend the event?

Just as she is wondering, she sees a girl walking towards her, holding a piece of parchment. She is Harumi Everdane, a Hufflepuff girl from Team one. Does she find the last letter R team one needs? Cassie thinks excitedly. She takes the piece of parchment from Harumi. And there it is, the piece of parchment with a letter R in the middle. 'Congratulations.' Cassie says cheerfully to Harumi. And Diana also picks up a piece with the letter I written on it, it is a new letter for her team, but unfortunately, team 2 still has two letters to go.

'I suppose it is time to wrap up our activity today!' Cassie announces. After all club members gather by the entrance of the library again, Cassie continues 'First, let's congratulate Marcella, Lily, Sabrina, Harumi and Ezra!' she says as she smiles at the five students. 'Team one has collected all the letters needed to form the word. Great job!' she pauses for a few seconds. 'But don't be discouraged if you didn't win!' she says, looking at the other four students. 'Team two only has four students, yet they still managed to collect over half of the letters needed! And special thanks to Zephyr, she doesn't forget the boy who did not participate in the game. 'While we are having fun looking for pieces of parchment, he helped us take down the results! Let's all applaud for ourselves!' she says as she claps her hands for a few times.

'We didn't just play games over the past two hours,' she says, 'we cleaned the bookshelves and the floor of the library, which is probably the favourite place for most. We eliminated minor stains here and there, making the floor and the shelves shinier than usual. This is only our second meeting, but I'm sure that, little by little, we're indeed making our beloved school a better place!' she smiles.

'I hate to say that,' she says, 'but I suppose it's time for us to leave. I'm already planning the next activity, which will take place shortly after our new year's break. I'll send you an owl about the activity's time and date then!' a few seconds later, she adds, 'oh, and don't forget to take your activity badge.' she says as she hands out the metal badges she made herself. 'See you next month!'

When the club members get their activity badge and leave the library, Cassie will wave goodbye to them in a warm smile.
