One o'clock. The heavy doors opened and streams of students flocked out of the Great Hall, towards their classes. Kim stayed behind as usual, letting the majority of people crowd towards the doors. If he tried to do what they were doing, he'd probably pass out and wake up in the hospital wing later on. It was best to just stay back and let the throng do its thing and follow after. As the room emptied, the Gryffindor sighed.

Finally. Some peace and quiet.

He made his way to the door and went through it, turning to the right side.

As he made his way down the hallway, he paused, waiting for the students ahead of him to push their way towards their destination.

The last thing he wanted to do was get caught up in that. A few seconds later, the crowds dissipated and Kim was left with a clear view of the hallway again. That was so much better. Merely waiting a few seconds for everyone to go through first was well worth the wait. He started to walk forward and rounded a corner just in time to hear a loud clatter. Kim's body tensed involuntarily as some kind of projectile flew over at him.

He reached into his robes to produce his wand but his hand stilled upon taking in the scene before him. No one had tried to attack him, as he'd originally thought, and in fact the culprit looked as if she had done it unintentionally. Kim looked down at what had fallen in front of him. It was a book. A regular book. He drew his hand out of his pocket, without his wand, and looked down at the girl before him. She was a redhead.

Other than that, he couldn't see yet.

But eventually he would be able to see more of her, when she turned towards him.

"It's not your day today, is it?" Kim remarked, letting his eyes linger on the stranger before him. "You know what helps? Not taking too many books at a time with you." He added and then stooped down to pick up the book at his feet. But instead of giving it back to her, the boy opened it and flipped through its pages. Pride and Prejudice, wasn't that a muggle book? It wasn't one he'd read. Was she a muggle?

Or just interested in muggle things? Going from the color of her robes, she was a Ravenclaw. Well, that made sense to him. Most Ravenclaws loved books and were obsessed with reading at all times. Hell, when he'd first come to Hogwarts, Kim had thought he also might have been sorted into that House. After all, reading books was something he liked to do a lot, so it would make perfect sense if he ended up in there.

But he was glad he hadn't gotten into the House, because his parents would have gone nuts. Kim had enough trouble keeping his parents from fighting over whose House he would be sorted into. The last thing he needed was for it to be a House neither had been in. He leaned over to hand the book back to its owner. "Interesting title, is it a good read?" Kim asked, curious. "I believe it's a muggle book, right?" He asked.

He wasn't entirely sure it was.

But it didn't seem like the type of book wizarding folk would normally read.

───── Bending down to retrieve her strewn books, the Ravenclaw angrily muttered a string of personal insults in Irish. One of the only things her mother had taught her well was how to speak the language of her ancestors, so she slipped into it whenever she got agitated, which was actually not often. She needed to return these books soon and so very hated being in the library's bad books. You see what I did there?

She was so caught up in grabbing each and every book on the cold floor like they would spread disease that, when a voice addressed her from nearby, it gave her quite the shock. Faye made a loud squeak and, not looking up from her (probably not) important task, shook from head to toe. She couldn't tell whether the boy was making fun of her or genuinely giving advice, but she didn't want to elaborate on which statement was correct.

"Ah, yeah. Thanks. Mmh." Faye murmured, clearly not listening to what she was saying, instead just giving an answer to satisfy the curious passer-by.

Finally, she had collected all of her textbooks. The Ravenclaw had placed them into a pile quite haphazardly next to where she knelt, but there was something missing. Where was her favourite book? Her eyes darted around the floor until she finally found it, but the intruder had picked it up and was now skimming through it. Would she ever get it back?

Half crawling, half dragging herself on her hand and knees, she moved over to the boy. He was a Gryffindor, and had a nice hairstyle. She was ginger, though, which was obviously supreme. But, the boy was interested in 'Pride and Prejudice', which intrigued her. He hadn't heard of it before, but was asking her about it.

"The language is pretty weird, but I love it. It's from a long time back, you see, and people talked funny back then. I know somebody like that." Faye's mind drifted back to her other Gryffindor friend, with pretty black hair and a cold personality. It seemed she liked Gryffindors. Cool.

"Muggle?" The image of her opposite vanished from her mind as it became empty, searching and searching for a definition for the word. "Oh! That means my fam isn't magic, right? Sorry, not really up to speed on this whole 'I'm a wizard which means I can do magic' stuff yet!"

───── Still on the cold, stone floor, Faye moved off her hands and knees in order to plonk her butt on the floor, her legs spread out. All knowledge that she had classes gone from her mind, she now looked up into the air and pondered a strange question.

It was not something you needed to know, as it made no sense, but even the little things truly fascinated the Ravenclaw. Like the fact that the Gryffindor, she guessed he was part of the lion house, or perhaps he just liked pretending he was, was actually interested in what she'd told him about her favourite novel.

She scrunched up her nose as she gazed into the infinite, her mind filling with memories.

"Oh, yeah! My bestie! She always says that she doesn't like when I call her that, but she's just being silly. We're the Best of friends! Closest of companions! Profound of pals!" Faye didn't notice that a smile had appeared on her face as she remembered her friend.

Giving a aggressive shake of her head to clear her of her thoughts, the Ravenclaw looked up at her new acquaintance. Did she look like she could afford all those books? How would she even go about purchasing a book? She'd only been to libraries! Faye found herself voicing her opinions out loud.

"I don't own them. I don't own much, to be honest. The library here is great. This copy of 'Pride and Prejudice' I forgot to take back to the library so they just let me keep it. Probably. They wouldn't want it back. It's got orange juice stains on it and everything.

───── Her legs beginning to turn blue on the stone floor, Faye turned her attention to the orderless pile of textbooks, dismantling them and laying them out one by one, in alphabetical order of course, before starting to stack them again. It was nice, organising. Took her mind off things. Her mother had always said how she'd noticed that the little girl would begin to clean when she got anxious. That didn't link to this scenario, though. She was having a great time with her new friend! The books weren't organised though, and that she didn't like.

Once she'd gotten her books into as neat a pile as she could muster, she turned back to the boy, who was asking her something. Shaking her head, she rid her head of thoughts and paid closer attention to his question. She only got the word 'name', though. What kind of question was that? Name?

Oh!

He was asking her what her name was!

"Sorry, lost ya for a sec! Name? I'm Faye. Nice to meet you!"

When he stuck out his hand, Faye looked at it for a second, mesmerised, until she remembered what she'd been taught. When someone gives you their hand, you shake it. With a smile on her face, she shook the Gryffindor's hand as enthusiastically as she could, proud of her achievement.

Nice! You've successfully introduced yourself! Good job, Faye!

Picking up her books, the Ravenclaw began a struggle to stand up. She could get up normally, but with the added weight of her textbooks, it was tricky. She did manage to pick herself up though, heaving a sigh of relief.

"And you are?"
