Look Beneath the Surface

Selena was over the moon with excitement. Her entire four foot and seven inch stature was vibrating. She could hardly keep herself from running through the halls and, most likely, dropping her precious creation.
Speaking of the creation, it was currently wrapped up in Selena's arms, artfully covered by a napkin. It had to be protected from the intruding eyes of snooping students. Walking down the hall with it, it appeared that Selena was carrying a newborn baby. A few older Hufflepuffs walking by cast a side eye in her direction but she wasn't paying enough attention to notice, nor did she care. She was too preoccupied with making sure her "baby" didn't get his top squashed.
She successfully navigated the maze of fake doors and moving staircases and stepped through the doors of the library. If a librarian noticed what she was doing, her scheme could very well be dead meat. Technically, a teacher did know of her antics and had supplied her with the materials necessary to construct her baby. That thought allowed her to walk confidently into the library, setting her creation down on a vacant table in the corner. The Ravenclaw glanced around. It was a popular enough spot for her scheme to work but unoccupied enough that she would not get caught.
With one last check to her surroundings, she began unwrapping the creation. The whipped cream on the top of the pie was slightly misshapen compared to the perfect swirl she had crafted in the Great Hall but it looked appetizing enough. If Selena didn't know what was underneath, she would have taken a bite herself. She couldn't check the special guests underneath since they were, well, underneath and Selena wasn't going to mess up the whipped cream any further nor put her fingerprint on the scene of the crime.
Smirking, the first year girl took a step back from her creation to admire it. It was lovely. She had not lost her touch for pranks in the least.
Selena reached into her bag. It was unknown how fast the victim would show up so she came prepared. She grabbed her copy of Emma from out of her bag. She had read the book last summer yet she found herself rereading it several times over the course of the school year. It wasn't necessarily her favorite book but it was far more amusing than the assigned chapter of A History of Magic. Selena settled in a few tables behind the one with the pie and opened the cover of the book. It was hard to concentrate on reading but she needed to keep the guise of a normal student studying if she wanted her plan to work.

Note: It is not made clear by this post but the creation mentioned is the prank Selena made for the April Fool's Day errand. It is a pie tin filled with whipped cream but there are (plastic) spiders buried underneath. This thread is open to one so please stop by if you want to be pranked!

Look Beneath the Surface
Kayla wandered into the library. ‘Books are like people’ she thought ‘If you like the same books then your gonna be friends. Now all I have to do is make a friend.’ She wandered through the library trying to find someone to talk to. She talked to a few Ravenclaws because that was the house that she admired. She was walking dreamily through the aisles of books, when she saw a girl reading Emma. She hurried over to her. “Hello! You’re reading Emma right? I love that book.” She looked at the girl and smiled “Oh and you’re a Ravenclaw! I love that house! If I wasn’t hardworking and loyal I would definitely be in Ravenclaw or at least that’s what I tell myself” Kayla pulled out a small book and a piece of paper from inside her cloak. She started writing something down from inside the book. “ I’m Kayla by the way” she said this while copying something down from her book. Look there you go “ she handed the girl a long paragraph of writing about Emma and Ravenclaw. “So what bit of the book are you on?” She said putting her book and piece of paper back in her cloak.
