Boredom Closed

With a smile she watches the interactions of the people around her. She wouldn't have thought that people could have friends in other houses. Her impression was inter-house interaction was frowned upon. Kai tucks her brown hair behind her ear as she turns her head from side to side watching who is talking.

She slowly loses interest in the conversations and adjusts her position on the chair. She opened her book and began to read while half-listening to the conversations around her.

She sighs as her facial expression changes as she slowly looses herself in the book. She hums when something happens in the book that seemed weird to her logic. She frowns and furrows her brow while she keeps reading.

Her position changed as she became more involved in the book. She actually breaks out with a "What?" As she flips back a few pages to better understand what just happened. "Huh...." She mummers to herself as she continues to read her chosen book.

She wasn't paying any more attention to what has happening around her. The book has engulfed her attention now.

"Ooooh… I see" She mutters as she turns the page. Ignorant of any stairs she might be getting. Her brown eyes move faster as she seems to get to a good part. She leans forward and gasps.

Dianna walked into the library with a book in hand. To say she was surprised was an understatement, she was astonished. Never in her life have she seen a room filled with so many books. Her eyes sparkled and couldn't wait to get her hands on a good book, A witch spell book at that!

What did surprise her were the amount of people that was here. Back at home not many people ever came to the library and it helped her a lot when she wanted to be alone. "huh..I guess this school is different after all." She spokes softly to herself. With a smile she started walking to a random shelf looking around. She tried to keep to herself mostly since she wasn't used to talking to kids her age.. or kids at all.
She noticed the table full of children and sighed. Yes she likes to be alone but deep down she yearns for a friend. Someone she can smile, laugh and tell secrets with.

"Oh mother, will this school let me be...I don't know free? Her purple hair shadowed her face. She looked to the side not wanting look at them. If you want to make friends you need to go up to them A voice said in her head. She knew that but what if one of them knew her as "Michi The Muggle"? She was sure one of them knew her from her mother's flower shop. She wasn't even a muggle! Both her parents were a wizard and witch, a pure-blood! She rolled her eyes at that thought.
"Ugh! Why couldn't I just stay home and tend to my flowers!" She quickly covered her mouth noticing how loud she was. She hoped no one played any attentioned to her and would ignore her outburst.

'My oh my. This day is just full of all sorts of surprises. This lot is quite interesting...I think we have one of every house now. Oh how exciting!' Quinn thought quite excitedly and pleased with the present situation.

One girl had gotten deeply invested into a book and just as he was about to ask her about it. Another girl who was indeed a bit quirky like a certain red head in this very library. He couldn't help but let out a small chuckle at the lass...wow never thought he'd say that word. It made him sound old but he was nearly 12! Oh how his little sisters would tease him.

Though at the moment that was besides the point, he decided to get up dusting off his uniform and fixing his scarf. He set his books down on the chair along with his school bag. With a smile and his usual warmth he walked over to the girl quite confidently and extended his hand. "Quinn Healy at your service. It's a bit of a strange name but we Healy's are nothing if not honest!" His voice was a bit louder almost at a normal moderately loud level.

His bluish green eyes had a certain spark that had returned to them as he greeted a fellow student. One might even mistake it for a mischievous gleam, but at the moment. Quinn didn't really care, as that was about as uncontrollable as his moppy mess of fiery orange curls. Which in comparision to his light skin really brought out the numerous freckles on his face and highlighted his eyes.

"Would you care to join us and I'd love to know about the kind of flowers you tended" He added with the same amount of enthusiam as before.

The other students were indeed quick acquaintances, and seemed interesting, so I decided to spare the effort of trying to make a friend, though I was exhausted from the other tirings of my day.

Before I could begin, however, the friendly red-headed Hufflepuff extended his hand and introduced himself, saying to me with an unusual sense of warmth, though slightly louder than needed, "Quinn Healy at your service. It's a bit of a strange name but we Healy's are nothing if not honest!"

"Would you care to join us and I'd love to know about the kind of flowers you tended" he added with the same amount of enthusiasm as before.

I liked him, friendly. Shaking his hand firmly with a smile plastered onto my face, I responded, "Well, to answer your botanical question, I remember having many orchids at home that my mother cared for, but I tended my own little patch of garden back home, with lavender, cosmos, daisies, and a few herbs. But uh, now I'm looking into more succulent-type plants, so as to grow a few in my dorm, seeing as I do not have an outdoor option," I finalized.

Realizing maybe he had absolutely no idea what I was talking about, I decided to elaborate, however careful not to baby talk. "Succulents, they're a type of plant that has waxy leaves and lots of water in those leaves. They thrive in the wild within desert-like environments, which is why you need to make sure they get good drainage to mimic sand, and not too much water to mimic a dry place."

Suddenly, I added, impulsively, "Sorry if I'm ranting..."

My cheeks burned and turned to tomatoes. I was ranting. And he may or may not have a single clue what I was talking about.

That's when I noticed the girl behind me holding a book on flowers, and muttering something about snapdragons.

Dianna looked up at the sound of his voice. "Oh I-" She quickly noticed he wasn't talking to her and blushed in embarrassment. Ugh Why would I think they would come talk to me? She started grow a small flower wall between her and her view of the table. She turned back to the bookshelf looking at the different books in front of her.

"Ah Snapdragons. My favorite." She grabbed the book setting down on a flower stool that created before her. She wondered if she was even around to use magic outside of the classroom. But than again her powers have there own mind. Specially when she's mad. They seemed out of control and she knew she had to control it.

Looking down at the book she began to read but her mind was else where. Between proving her dad wrong and making friends. The second one sound impossible she didn't have the courage to go up to someone. And if they came to her she honestly don't know what she would say nor do. She got up to put the book back and grabbed another which only caused other books to fall on her. "Oh no no no no!" She whispered yelled be fore all the books came crashing down.

I ran. My feet, one before the other in long, fast strides.

Yeah, I wasn't supposed to, in the library.

But I did anyway.

I ran back to my dorm, up three stories of stairs. I ran until my legs gave out on me. No, not tearing, but upset nonetheless.

I had truly embarrassed myself, Quinn, and the pretty snapdragon girl. She seemed nice, undeserving of the confusion I had caused.

But I had now ruined every chance of a friendship. This was just like it had been with Amaya. The blame was always on me. And for good reason.

As I bolted up the stairs, it almost made me want to scream. Why was I here anyway? In this castle? I didn't deserve it. I wasn't a pure-blood. Come to think of it, was I even a wizard? I had never cast a spell before. All I read was muggle fiction. My friends saw it, my teachers probably did too.

I didn't get homework done, I messed up friendships, and I got in everybody's way. What was I to do?
Simply to remove me from the surroundings of everyone else. They didn't deserve the burden that I brought upon them. I was wrecking their lives.

Quinn was about to correct the girl that had come up to him instead and welcome her as well. But unfortunately for the second year he had failed spectacularly by creating incredible confusion. Oh how embarrassed he felt and shocked by the suddeness of both first year's reaction.

The red head tried toninteract with both before they dashed or wondered back off. "Wait Mae!' Before he couod even stop her she was already out of his reach and gone. He had planned to chase her but then his attention was immedietely caught by the yell of a female voice. It came from the direction he saw the other girl wonder off in.

He nearly cursed to himself apologizing to the group for the commotion. He then turned back to the wall of flowers in front of him. For a moment he stared at it curiously, "...Ah screw it!" He backed up and then ran at it nearly full speed crashing through the wall of flowers.

Quinn had fallen face first breaking the impact with his arms. The prone Hufflepuff groaned and slowly stood up, "Are you okay!?" He ignored the pain he felt and ran ovwr to Diana pulling off the books from her. "Oh curse my social skills." His accent began tk thicken as he reverted back to mostly talking in his native tongue. His tone was both nervous and concerned. "Daft daft daft. This always happens to me." He managed to get all of the books off her,helping her to her feet.

Unbeknownst to himself he was still rambling to himself in an almost self deprecating tone. Suddejly he stopped, and looked to you apologizing profusely. "Please forgive me!"

Dianna was shocked when he came bursting through the wall. "Are you okay?" she didn't have time answer before he started pulling the books off of her. She had no idea what was going on as he was moving so fast. Oh curse my social skills." She looked up at the sound of his voice.
Still in a daze she was up on her feet.

She looked at him with amazement. No one ever burst through her wall before and it was quite amusing. She noticed him apologizing while dusting herself of before finally getting a good look at him. Blushing madly she took a step back.
" Thank you. Ah please no need to apologize. Are you okay? No one ever broke through my wall." She asked with concern taking a step towards him looking at his arm.

Noticing how close she was she quickly stepped back blushing even more. OH gosh what's happening to me! she thought as she apologized for being so close. "Oh..Sorry..Dianna Michi at your service." She bowed with her arms wide open smiling at him. "I didn't mean for you to get hurt. But than again I didn't know you would jump through a wall." She giggled to herself. "Does anything hurt? I can help that only if you want my help. I mean help is help right? I can't force you to use my help and I'm rambling aren't I? She scratched her arm noticing her rambling. This was the first time in a long time since she had talked to someone and all her age. She cursed under her breath. in embarrassment, hiding her face with her hair she looked to the ground with "sudden" interest.The first time you talk to some one and you do this.

"Pfffft walls were made to be broken. It's nice to meet you Dianna and I'm sorry for that misunderstanding earlier. I quite frankly mucked up that introduction in the worst way. I hope the lass that ran off isn't too upset at me she left before I could say anything more." He rubbed the back of his neck sighing. At the same time the freckled red head felt a dull pain in his nose and generally on the front of his face.

For the moment he continued to hide it behind a smile. "Anyway I am fine, the fall wasn't that bad." He reassured her laughing it off as nothing. "Now don't apologize I tend to ramble all the time. The nature of my personality I suppose, and a terrible habit sadly." Quinn was being quite animated moving his hands around in a nonchalant manner. He was probably talking the poor girl's ear off. Quinn couldn't help it though. It was all he could do to hold back the burning questions in his head about the magic she just used. The librarian would most likely not be happy about this.

"How about we go back to the group I'm sure they would love to have you. There's alot I want to ask you. Like how you did that thing with the flowers and all that. You've really piqued my interest. Which for better or worse is a good thing. Depending on who you ask." He extended his hand, "Now then Dianna, I'm Quinn Healy it's a pleasure to make your acquaintence!"

Ah yes bouncing back like nothing happened and trying to move passed the past. Something Quinn always did and was able to do quite well. Something he held pride in and something he hoped would help smooth over the situation despite the noise and mess that was made.

Kai jumps at the sound of crashing books and falling shelves. She closes the book loosing her place and stands up. She leaves the book on the chair she just vacated and rushes to the source of the sound. She was worried that someone had gotten hurt.

When Kai came to a stop near the mess of books, leaves and a fallen shelf. "You okay?" She half yells to the now standing but dazed female and her companion through the wall the young man made thought the wall of foliage.


This muggle born began to pick her way through the mess to the two standing there. Her face wrought with concern as she looks at the other girl and the guy.

Looking them over they seemed fine so Kai stooped down to start picking up the mess. It wasn't right to leave it a fire hazard in the middle of the library. As she begins to make piles a few of the book's titles caught her attention. 'How to Plant a Unicorn Garden' and 'Grow Your Own Charm Ingredients' were the most interesting looking so far.
