===Morgan heaved a sigh of relief as she leaned back in her chair. She had spent hours hunched over her desk, and she was finally finished with her homework. Finally, she thought to herself. She stood up from her desk and stretched her arms over her head.
===Days after days without reading, every day felt like it dragged on forever. She's been so busy with her activities that she hasn't had any time for reading. She misses it. Her hands itched with the desire to hold a book to read, to feel the pages between her fingers, and to lose herself in its world. She remembers cuddling up with a book on a rainy day or spending the whole night reading because she couldn't put it down. She misses that feeling of escape. That feeling of being fully absorbed in a story. Now that she has nothing to do, she decides to go into the library to sate her hunger.
===Stepping into the library, she was immediately overcome by the aroma of books. The air was thick with the smell of paper and ink, a heady mixture that was somehow both calming and invigorating. Rows and rows of old books filled the room, each one begging to be picked off the shelf and leafed through. It was both exhilarating and slightly frightening for her to sense the weight of all the knowledge that was trapped within the walls. There was no other sound except for a nearby book being opened and closed and the soft rustling of pages.
===She glided her fingers over the bumpy spines of the books, feeling the layer of dust that had collected on them. She smiled slightly, her lips curving up at the corners when she found the perfect book to read, and now she was ready to get lost in its pages.

Her actual homework had been long since completed. She didn't need to be here anymore, didn't need to be reading chapters ahead in her textbooks. But what else was she to do? Leave herself to her thoughts? Never. That was a dangerous place. Maybe she should stop with the note-taking for now, though. Her hand was starting to cramp. The Ravenclaw leaned back in her chair, letting out a groan as she rubbed her wrist gingerly. Just a couple chapters of a book. Reading would still keep her mind occupied.
Getting up and making her way over to a shelf, she quickly scanned the rows and rows of books lining the shelves, barely registering her surroundings. She hummed to herself, reaching up to pick a book at random and furrowing her eyebrows in surprise when another hand came up to grab the exact same one. "Uh, excuse me?" She turned to the owner of the hand, a girl she didn't recognize, but she looked slightly younger than Adelaide. Which was good. If she was a first year, it wouldn't be that hard to intimidate her enough for her to let Adelaide have the book. First years were always incredibly easy to intimidate.
"I got this book first, finders keepers, right? So take your hand off of it." Her tone was cold and harsh, and she leveled an unfriendly glare at the unknown girl.

===Before Morgan could grab the book off the shelves, a blonde Ravenclaw girl stepped in her way. The girl had a sharp tongue and cut Morgan off before she could say anything.
===“Uh, excuse me?”
===She looked down her nose at the woman. Just what the world needed— another person who was going to waste her time. This woman was nothing but a Troublemaker with a capital T. She had no time for people like this.
===“I got this book first, finders keepers, right? So take your hand off of it,”
===She could feel her eyes beginning to fill with annoyance. She tried to keep herself from rolling her eyes, but she could feel the urge building up inside of her. She was boiling with anger, and it took all her self-control not to lash out at the blonde Ravenclaw. This person is just starting to get on her nerves.
===“Listen, I don't know what your deal is,” There was a coldness in her tone, like ice water running through your veins. “But you think that just because you saw it first, you have some kind of claim to it?”
===She grabbed the book from the shelves and held it up, her nail tapping the cover. “Now, I'm going to take this book, and you're going to walk away,” she continued, taking a step closer to her. “Do you understand me?”
