Help? Closed

After her reply a giant grin also spreads across his face and he looks at her smiling and for once he actually feels truly happy. He grabs a chair nearby and sits next to her. "Oh I didn't even know we had!" He pulls a funny over-reactive face and smiles before realizing he has to get his things from his dorm room. "I'll be right back I just have to get my supplies" He tells her smiling.

He then runs out of  the library and after a minute comes back in looking exhausted with all the necessary supplies he needs. Still panting from the long run he plops down onto the chair and starts it with her, and even though they aren't talking just having someone there with him makes all the difference. He doesn't feel alone anymore and well frankly he feels quite happy."By the way I like your hair and you think yours is long" He points at his own hair "Mine isn't hair anymore it's just a birds nest" He grins at her again and even stifles a laugh. He looks at her parchment. "Woah you're already almost done! You really are smart!" He realizes what he said and looks down kind of embarrassed but smiling none the less. 

She smiles back at him showing her buck teeth and missing canine tooth as she feels just as happy as he does. "It's okay. You are just a bit forgetful!" She brushes her hair behind her ear with a prayer that it will stay there so she can finish. "You can borrow some of m-" She looks back up only to see that you have vanished. "A true wizard." She giggles at her joke and keeps writing until you come back.

Caitlin looks up as you come back in and hands you a water bottle to drink. A small blush rises to her cheek at your comment. "Well thank you. And your hair isn't that bad. It's just a bit... misunderstood." She stands up and runs her fingers through your hair before making many small braids that she spells to keep them from coming undone. "There you go! All done. Now it looks really cute!" She giggles and shows her teeth. She blushes at your comment about her being smart. "I'm not that smart. I just remember my father teaching me when I was little. He was a Potion Master and he let me sit and watch him brew all the time. It was out thing." She says with a sad smile. "I can help you with yours. If you want that is."

First thing he does is ruffle is hair back the way it was "Well I like it being a bird nest" He says with a loud voice. "Oh cool your dad was potions master! Well my dad actually never had a "wizard" job he is actually a baker, so is my mum they have a little cake shop and they make the best cupca..." And I'm rambling again he thinks and looks back up at her seeing that she's smiling he looks in her eyes, smiles and says "I would give you one but I don't think they would last in owl mail believe me I've tried" Well whats your favorite food? I mean we've been talking a lot but don't know any of your common interests yet." He looks at her straight in her eyes. "I like Pizza and Sushi and yeah.. stuff like that.. what's it like in a wizard house? I've lived like a muggle all my life so I don't know is it cool though?" Im rambling again! "Do I talk to much?" He laughs and looks at her, he blushes because she blushes and looks down. "I don't know what to do I'm an only child and I've never really had any true friends.. can you help me?"

"That's okay. I understand if you like your hair that way. I should have asked permission." She hums and signs her name at the bottom of her essay in fancy handwriting. She listens to you in interest and giggles when you trail off. "Maybe one day I can visit and try one. But I must warn you, I make a mean cheesecake!" Her smile falters when you bring up living in a wizard house. "I only lived in one until I was seven. That's when You-Know-Who attacked my family. He killed my father and both of my grandparents. Only my mother and I got out alive. After that, we lived in Muggle London to hide from him and his followers..." She shook her head and smiled. "It's all in the past. Nothing we can do about it now." She giggles and shakes her head. "No. You talk just fine. I enjoy listening to others talk, so please talk as much as you wish! And of course, I'll help you! What are true friends for? I can help you in any way that you need and I'm sure we can help each other. I'm not very good at Transfiguration or starting conversations. So we just need to be there for each other!" She smiles and lays her hand on yours. 

"Oh I'm so sorry for bringing it up" Looks down again,"You know in all the muggle schools I went to I was always the weird one the one that people made fun of when they were sad." Looks at the ceiling "They didn't take into consideration what it might do to me and my confidence and they honestly didn't care" he puts his arms behind his head still looking up at the ceiling. "They made fun of me for everything and the teachers didn't care". Pulls sleeve up and shows long scar "This happened when a kid thought it would be "funny" to throw a clay pot I made in ceramics at me" Shows scar on chin "This happened when a kid wanted to use my scooter and pushed me off." Shows scar on shoulder "And this happened when i a group of kids shot me with their bb gun's.. so you know that's how it usually is and I can't change that.. that's why I came here" looks into eyes.

"I tried to stand up for myself but after a while it didn't matter what I did they would find a way to make me feel worthless but you.." looks up and blushes "You.. Caitlin don't make me feel worthless"

Entering the Library, Marcus lets out a low whistle, just low enough so the Librarian wouldn't hear "The Stories of the Hogwarts Library seem to be even truer than I thought" He chuckled making his way toward the many book cases, selecting several books on Battle Magic, Dueling, Charms in Battle and Transfiguration, after grabbing what he needs he heads to an empty table and proceeds to start reading, occasionally eavesdropping on the other tables, scoffing lightly hearing the conversations going around, he shakes his head "It's like they didn't bother to read about the school and it's library" he mumbled picking up the charms book and skims through it slowly.

"Huh..never really thought to use the water charm with the ice charm like that, honestly very impressive" He noted then checked the Battle Magic book for something interesting "Cutting Curse...Bone-Breaking Curse, Shield-breaker, Knockback Jinx..hmm quite a few of these spells would do well in my arsenal" he mumbled continuing to skim through the book "No way am I going to use the Brittle Bone curse in dueling but if it's for a fight to the death, well..it makes sense."

With everything that's happened, from the entering Hogwarts for the first time to the sorting ceremony Willie needed a bit of a break. His small body can only contain so much excitement after all. So, after everything was said and done he decided to head straight to the library, his home away from home. It's unfortunate that he couldn't bring any food with him here like he usually did back in New York but that was an easy price to pay...for now at least. 

Despite being in his element, however, Willie was honestly getting a little bored. Not of the wizarding world gods forbid that, but of the lack of the more juicy content. Perhaps he will find more enjoyment in the application of the spells rather than the theory? It was certainly a fair guess but he wasn't going to blow himself up so soon until he had a better understanding of how spells worked. He loved his mother with all of his being but she was terrible when it came to teaching him anything related to magic, bless her heart.

Just as Willie was about to leave the library and perhaps sleep until classes started he paused. In front of him was a small rope that seemed to block off another section of the library. The area seemingly called to him and the thought of learning something others don't was just oh, so tantalizing.

"Maybe just a peek."

He looked around and made sure that no one was watching him until he slowly crawled underneath the rope to the other side.

Ava ran after the boy. 'HEY!' She called him, catching up to him. 'Tff... If you're inviting me somewhere, at least wait for me!' SHe rolled her eyes and chuckled. She swung the books right out of his hands and sat on the floor a few meters away. 'Cutting curse, Bone-breaking, Shield-breaking... Do you seriously need that many?' She stood up and gave him his dueling books back. 'Oooh... You have something bout transfiguration?' She opened the book. 'Hmm... Seems interesting.' She ran to a chair and sat down to read the book she just swung out of the boys' hands.

Marcus notices Willie near the Restricted Section "I don't think that's a good idea, friend..wouldn't want one of the staff to see you in there, you'd probably get stunned." He said then frowned at Ava when she takes his book "Hey! I was reading that!" He stated to her then shook his head and instead continues to read the book on Battle Magic and Charms "The Stunning Spell would work wonders with you, Ava...since you like stealing people's books" He teased her with a grin without looking at her as he continues reading the book "No chance in hell am I ever going to use Fiendfyre.." He mumbles "Incideo is my best bet for a fire spell" He added in his mumbles then got up and went to grab a book on elemental spells upon returning to his table, he opened it up to the Wind Element and began reading slowly as he skims through the various spells "I wouldn't mind testing some of these spells" He stated to himself matter of factly, putting his feet on the nearby chair and continues reading with a curious gaze.

Sally enters with a determined look, pausing just a moment to admire the beautiful room in front of her and to take in the scent of books, new and old. She struts to the shelves and on her way, stumbles and is about to fall on someone when she catches herself. Mumbling a quick apology, she continues on to the shelves.

Sally had already read the first few pages of Magical Theory and now she wanted to research more on an interesting topic on the functioning of magic. In the meanwhile, it wouldn't hurt to look through a book that explained some common magical items. She didn't spend a lot of time with her wizard father so her knowledge could use a refresher. Now if only she knew where to find these books.

Navigating through the huge collection wasn't easy but libraries had been Sally's second home back in her world so she quickly got the hang of it. In addition to the books she needed, she also picked up some others that she found interesting.

Wizard astronomy was incredibly advanced. She wasn't well versed in astronomy but she knew when she saw the books that this was much more advanced knowledge than the muggles possessed. Maybe she would get the opportunity to learn all of it, perhaps in later years.

Now to decide where to sit. She would definitely feel more comfortable sitting alone, but perhaps its time she interacted with someone here. Looking at the groups of students mingling together, she however was deathly afraid to intrude, so she stood hesitantly on the side while she made up her mind.
