Aldor entered the library, amazed by the beautiful view he had in front of him. He has always been obssesed with books, and everything that he could learn from. His eyes were filled with innocence, as everything about this place brought him back to his childhood, the peace, the feeling of calm and wisdom trapped within the books, it reminded him of that day when his parents took him to his hometown's library for the first time.
The lighting, the smell of books, the impatience to open the first book he found, this was truly the kind of place Aldor feels at home. Without waiting Aldor explored the halls, looking through the shelfs, trying to find something to read, but there was to much to choose from, everything seemed like a delightful thing to spend his time on. So he kept looking, inspecting every title and author.
Soon enough he found a few books to start with, he'd smile softly, sitting by one of the shelfs, and began reading the first one, it didn't take long for him to reach to the end of the book, and so he kept going, book after book. Of course, some titles were shorter, but he still had fun. He'd remain there, and was not planning to leave in many hours.
''This is not bad at all-'' Aldor thought, with a smile and a feeling of peace. ''But it still feels- a little loney, doesn't it?'' He'd whisper his thoughts to himself, as he finished his first pile of books, and stood up to search for more. Quietly taking a few more books, and returning the ones he chose before, to their corresponding shelfs. Even though he felt this activity was good, he still felt lonely, but was not able to sit with anyone or to see if he could join someone's reading time. In fact, he shyly returned to the same shelf he sat by before, and continued reading.

Interacting with @Aldor HumbleglowLucia was bored, so she made her way to the library.
Being a bookseller's daughter (however reluctant said bookseller may be), it was habit for the girl to head to the shelves when in need of something to pass the time with.
One other great thing was that the Hogwarts library was better than any library she had ever been in before - although, admittedly that wasn't many, as pureblood witches and wizards didn't tend to be registered with the local muggle library, as far as Lucia knew - and Lucia had the strange feeling that she could have produced the title of any book in the world and she would have been able to find a copy upon the library's vast array of shelves.
This time, however, Lucia had no real book in mind and so she wandered at her leisure between the book cases.
Occasionally, the young Hufflepuff would pull out a volume from the shelves and hold it for a few seconds, turning it over in her hands as if ultimately calculating its worth - only to then replace in the exact position it came from with a sigh.
Twice, however, Lucia transferred the book from her right hand to her left instead, before continuing in her search.
'Three books,' Lucia thought, 'Three books and then I will go and sit at a table to read them.'
The girl glanced at her watch to check the time: it was only four o' clock - there was plenty of time until dinner.

It didn't take long for Aldor to finish the books again, this time the pile was full of different topics, from poetry to biology. He'd go back and forth from place to place in the library, putting the books back in their shelfs, and picking a new one from the same shelf, he'd walk across the place, returning in silence to his spot, with his head low.
He was carrying 5 different books, some shorter than others, but non of them had anything to do with the other. He was still smilling, but avoided eye contact with everyone that walked past him or that was simply sitting and relaxing. ''Just a few more-'' He mumbled, as he slowly sat back down by the shelf and opened the next book, he doesn't seem to be rushed, but somehow he manages to finish every book he reads in a very short time. His eyes filled with happines, as he started to read the book, it was about all kind of creatures, he'd not hesitate, and kept reading. For some reason, he preffers to sit in the floor, than taking one of the much more comfortable chairs, that had a place to rest his arms, yet he did not seem to mind.

Interacting with @Aldor HumbleglowLucia decided on her third book five minutes later. It was a muggle book she had never read before, called The Last Spell Breather, written by someone called Julie Pike. Though muggle books got most, if not all, aspects of magic completely wrong - for example, how could you breathe a spell? - they were good to read and Lucia enjoyed laughing at the so-called magic in them.
She held her small pile under her left arm and made her way through the maze of shelves to the front of the library, were there were seats she could sit at to read her choices.
As she turned a corner, Lucia caught sight of a boy with ginger hair and messy, bitten nails who was sat on the floor, reading. Next to him was a small pile of books - including the one he was engrossed in there were five in total.
"There are seats, you know," she said to the boy, looking down at him and pointing with her free right hand in the direction of said seats. The boy - he looked like a first year - was going to get trodden on or something if he stayed where he was - although so far he seemed to have gotten lucky.

Rose rushed into the library, excited to see the famous athenaeum for herself. She wandered around, allowing herself to take in the grand room and its surroundings. She breathed in, inhaling the distinct smell of the books.
She strolled aisle by aisle, scanning every title. There were thousands, if not millions, of books. Some were colourful, and some were dull. Some were relatively new, and some were ancient and ragged with use.
Rose smiled to herself. She couldn't wait to spend hours alone, exploring the different worlds. She aspired to be just like Hermione Granger, her role model.
Just past the Restricted Section, Rose saw a couple of young Gryffindors and their prefect. Rose's eyes widened and quickly found refuge behind a bookshelf. Her heart pounded like a deer prancing across a field. Why was she so afraid of people? Yes, she's an introvert, but to this extent? That was strange. Even back home in Corringham, she was never this afraid of people. Maybe it was the new surroundings. Maybe it was the like-minded people at the school that intimidated her a bit (actually, a lot).
But why did she feel so... lost?
Without knowing, however, Rose started following her classmates and started to listen to the tour.
the prefect paused,“Over here,”
She looked to her left and saw a boy with ginger hair, reading beside an enormous stack of books and a girl beside him, talking. It was refreshing to see someone invested in something that she liked as well. She found it to be rare nowadays."is where you’ll find the materials you need for your classes.”
Rose wandered away from the crowd, looking for good books. When she finished, she excitedly hurried to find a seat but found a lot to be filled. She quickly adjusted her grip and walked around. Finally, Rose spotted one and sprinted over. She sat down and sighed. That was way too much effort for a seat.
Oh well, that was definitely worth it.
She smiled to herself and began to read. Although it was nice reading, she sometimes wondered how it would feel to have some human friends.
Rose sighed again. Not like she's ever gonna find out.@Aldor Humbleglow @Lucia Fox

His innocent eyes filled with determination as he finished his pile, he was ready for another stack of books, but as soon as he stood up and started walking to put the books back in their shelfs, he shivered, as he felt watched. He'd try to ignore it, and kept walking.
He'd put the books in their shelfs, with his shaky hands and nervous innocent smile, he took a longer time to choose the books he wanted to read this time. Every time he checked a shelf, someone would check the same shelf, and he'd grow nervous and had to move to another shelf, feeling like he was about to faint every time anyone walked to close to him.
He couldn't do more but try to remain calm, it was a useless atempt. He'd manage to pick a few books, as he took a deep breath, he began going back to his regular spot, but he went to far into the place, it was so big, that he felt lost, but managed to get back at the shelf where he sat before. But when he sped up his pace, he tripped, he managed to turn, and fell on his side protecting the books succesfully, flinching slightly, but not making a single sound, but the air that came out of his lungs as he fell, he'd get up instantly cleaning his side, as his cheeks blushed lightly, feeling ashamed as he sat by the shelf he has been leaning on for the last hour. He'd shiver as he opened the book and tried to ignore the fact, that probably someone saw him. He was clearly hurt, but pretended to be fine.

Rose started reading her third book when she heard a soft thump behind her. She winced at the noise and wondered what had happened. Maybe it was a book falling off a shelf or someone coming near her? She didn't know. Rose turned around and stared at the scene in front of her.
To her surprise, she saw the same orange-haired boy she had seen earlier in the day, now lying in an odd angle on the floor, protecting some books. She heard him sigh and watched him quickly return to his old position. He looked like he was in pain but didn't want to show it.
Rose frowned and watched him closely. While he tried to act neutral, his face said otherwise. He would shift often and wince, especially when he moved his elbow. She wanted to help him but didn't know how. Rose knew that he would feel embarrassed if she just walked up to him and say that she saw him fall. If she were in his situation, she'd probably blush deeply and stutter the whole time the spectator talked. But Rose couldn't just leave him there, could she? No, that would be too cruel, even though she hated confrontation.
Summoning all her courage, Rose stood up from the old, creaky chair and walked towards the boy. When she was in front of him, she blushed and wondered if she had made the correct choice.Ah, whatever. Heck, if he's mad at me, at least I'll know that he'll be okay.
She managed to make out a small smile and opened her mouth.Rose! No backing out! You've already come this far, she said silently in her head.
Rose hung her head in embarrassment and managed to make her face a deeper shade of red. She's probably the same colour as a tomato by now..."U-um... I saw you fall and I- no. Sorry, um, I'm not really good at socializing but uh, a-are you alright? I can... help you... if y-you like?"@Aldor Humbleglow

''You saw me?'' The boy looked up, shivering, as he tried to keep smilling. He seemed awfully nervous. His innocent eyes showed fear and worry, he has never talked to anyone in hogwarts at this point.
He really did not know how to react, so he did the first thing that came to mind, standing up and stretching out his hand. But as soon as he realised he'd back up, putting his hand away and stuttering. ''I-I mean, I'm fine i surely am, you know? I really am, I-I Err-'' He'd stop for a minute. The silence was too akward and he couldn't help to literally ask. ''S-o, what is your name?-'' Aldor akwardly waited as he shivered, and held his right hand's wrist. Trying to hold on, and not run away, he clearly was nervous, his hands and shaky knees would show how truly scared he was, the fact that a girl was trying to interact with him did not help. The last female he had interaction with for months was his aunt. Of course she was a nice and kind woman, but he never really understood how friendships work.
The only thing he could do was look at her, kindly and trying to be as polite and relaxed as possible.
Being relaxed was really not his strongest atribute.

''You saw me?''
The boy's question came out shakier than Rose had expected. He seemed... afraid. Maybe even as shy as Rose. This only made her more ashamed of herself. Rose hated making feeling uncomfortable since she knew what it felt like on their side. It wasn't pleasant. Maybe this wasn't a good idea after all... given that she had basically invaded the ginger's privacy.
However, Rose's hope ignited again when the boy extended his arm, seemingly wanting her to help. As soon as Rose happily reached out though, the boy suddenly pulled back and it soon dawned on Rose that she may have really screwed up. She made a mental note to approach strangers with a less direct (and better) question than what she had said.
''I-I mean, I'm fine I surely am, you know? I really am, I-I Err-''
He paused, blushing. When neither of them talked and a rather awkward silence ensued, the boy opened his mouth again.
''S-o, what is your name?-'
Oh yes. Rose needed to divert the attention.
"O-oh! Me? My name is Morgan Ro- I mean! Rose. Rose Morgan. Not Morgan. No, wait. My name does include Morgan but it isn't my first name... you know? Uh... yeah."
She played with her fingers while her face erupted in a shade of maroon and continued on.
"And... your name is...?"
Wow. Rose had definitely not just ruined any chances to be friends with this guy. She was stupid. So, very, stupid! There were about a million more ways that she could've handled this. Rose, being the smart person she is, chose one of the worst.
She just hoped that she wouldn't make things more awkward than it already was.

The boy couldn't help but think this was awfully akward, as he looked at the girl from head to toe, he knew her intention wasn't to aproach in that way, of course, this sort of tension ignited by the fact that both are extremly nervous, but what could he do? Aldor has never understood how to interact with people, but he'd try to do his best.
Akwardly enough, one of the first thoughts that came to his mind was 'Why did she decide to talk to me?'. But the more he thought about it, he felt like this was a rude question. And another thought was 'She is kind of pretty, isn't she?', but of course, he would not say that, but even thinking about it just made him blush even more.
He'd try to recover his breath, and answered her question. ''I'm- Aldor Humbleglow-'' He seemed to feel a little better now, the blushing on his face wouldn't fade away, but the stuttering would be lighter, and he seemed more confident about his answers. ''W-ould you like to read something with me?'' Not even Aldor believes what he just said, he finally braved up to ask someone to give him some company, his innocent eyes filled with determination and a tiny spark of happines, not fear, not worry.
