Another adventure in the library

Henry quickly stopped talking and jerked his head down while regretting what he said, he wiped a quick tear away from his eye before continuing reading.
Margaret liked how honest he was about his history, no matter how ba history is it's still history and she appreciated that he most likely thought the same. Margaret knew she must have made a mistake by mentioning the battle against you-know-who. Did his mother die in the battle? She asked herself.

She read the book for a while, awkwardly. She felt that she had to break the silence but she didn't know how to do it. Then she finished her last book and closed it, putting it in her book bag to return to where she found it.

"Do you have any plans for this week?" Margaret asked awkwardly, putting a hand to the back of her neck, sweating and awkward, she didn't really think that was the right question to ask but she wanted to break the silence. It was Saturday so she didn't really have any other plans for today except studying but she didn't really have any other plans for the rest of the week either. She mostly had classes and her normal routine. She didn't really have very many friends so she didn't plan to do anything with her friends.

Another adventure in the library
For a while Henry sat in silence while reading, he finished the book and slowly closed it and place it in his neatly, stacked pile of books when he heard Margaret speak "Do you have any plans for this week?" Henry looked up and smiled a bit, maybe she forgot about what I said anyway she seemed nice enough and I don't really have plans for the week. Henry thought for a second as he bit his lip a bit, he went over his schedule in his head which was mostly classes, talking to Cricket in the abandon toilets, hanging out with Miranda, sneaking into the shrieking shack on the night of the full moon, and also hanging out with his small but tight-knit group of friends.

Henry finally looked up and smiled at Margaret as he spoke "not any that could be changed, do you want to hang out later that is if your not busy or anything."Henry smiled at her as he picked up his messager type bag and placed it over his shoulder and got up from his chair while picking up his neatly, stacked pile of books. Henry grazed at Margaret while he waited for her.

Henry looked up at her, looking confused "not any that could be changed, do you want to hang out later that is if your not busy or anything." He replied after she asked about his plans for the week. She realized she must have already asked that question and just forgot, t made sense for her to repeat that question. It was her go-to question after 'how are you?' because she usually foud the answers more interesting and usually she had fairly good conversations that came from the question but apparently not because she had already asked it. She felt super awkward and apologetic that she couldn't remember their conversation.

Margaret just smiled and laughed awkwardly "I already asked that question, didn't I? I'm sorry." She picked up her bags, blushing at her silly mistake. "I-I guess you probably want to keep looking for any history on your family?" Margaret asked, "but if you're bored I'd be happy to do other things.... sorry, I'm still repeating myself, I actually can't remember, usually I can it's weird for some reason I just can't remember what I've already said, sorry if I'm repeating myself I don't mean to." She said very apologetically.

Henry looked at her and smiled apologetic, as he reached over and placed Margaret's books into his own pile before saying" I'll put these away for you and just so you know I'm actually a very nervous and anxious person so I know how it feels." He continued to smile at her as he adjusted his strap on his shoulder to a more comfortable position and move his messager type bag to his side so it won't be in his way as he picked up the large pile of books and held theme in his arms for a bit while waiting for Margaret.

"But to answer your question if you aren't busy then meet me in the great hall later or any time this week to hang out, because I would like to hang out with you again. I enjoyed your company a lot and if you ever need help in a class again just owl me and I'll be happy to help." Henry finished speaking the started to make his way to the shelves before he turned back to her and said "I hope to see you at the great hall later, I'll definitely like to chat with you some more."

Henry then disappeared down a aisle and started putting his and Margaret's books away.

"Thank you" Margaret said as offered to put the books away.

"I hope to see you again too" Margaret said, with a smile. "See you in the great hall later then. I mean, we'll probably meet again at some point, and thank you." Margaret knew she would definitely be in the great hall later that week; she liked to use the great hall a lot, mostly for homework and reading, no one really ever used great hall during the day so it was the quietest place to go.

She smiled, kindly at him before he took his messenger bag and walked away into the great isles of the library. There were so many beautifully colored books. there were brown books, black books, pin, and purple books, blue and green, etc a lot of them with nice, glimmering lining. She watched him for a while before she went on to find another book.

She really was looking forward to seeing him again, she didn't have very many friends yet and she didn't really see her one friend that much so she was pretty bored most of the time. She would appreciate having someone else to hang out with later.

She did see him later, near the great hall. She was passing by the entrance when she saw Henry coming down the other way. She smiled as they got nearer.
