Henry listened while the blonde haired ravenclaw explain how her father was a hufflepuff and that she inherited is traits if loyalty and stuffing that. Henry aimed his eyes up at her while he held is book in a reading position because he was truly intrested in what this girl had to say. While Heather continued to speak"If you wouldn't be a sly child who doesn't own up to his mistakes, you would find out that I am quite charming to be around! And that's a shame, I would have enjoyed annoying you every single day! It's not about Slytherins only, one of my best friends is actually housemates with you."
Henry looked up at her and took a few steps forward as he spoke "then it is ashame that were not in the same house because I would enjoy jinxing you when you annoyed me each and everyday. Also one of my best friend's are in your house, so I have nothing against ravenclaw and usually I'm charming to be around. Well at least that's what my friends think, which most are in gryffindor and ravenclaw so I'm not biased against other houses just obnoxious people." Henry put on a sly grin while he went back to speed reading is book and every couple of seconds flipped a page, once he finished it Henry read it again to be sure he didn't miss the spell when he was talking to the blonde haired ravenclaw girl. While he read the book again thoughts started to form and spiral around his mind which he kept hidden from Heather by keeping his back towards her.
Should I bricker with her or just stop and say sorry while I also confess for jinxing her friend? What should I do, just keep a sly smile and come up with witty comments because this is actually pretty fun but also don't say anything that can hurt her or make her uncomfortable or feel bad. I still don't understand how this can be so much fund because usually I wouldn't even think if saying or doing any of this with anyone but I am with Heather and actually it's pretty fun, why do I enjoy this and why don't I feel nervous about it well not too nervous or worried about it?
"As I said, I want to learn as much as I can, and these books have some advanced spells and potions inside. If I am going to repeat this year, even the lessons that I have already learned, the least I could do is to study something else in exchange. I have a lot of friends in my second year, and a small part of me worries that I will lose them, I think. So I try to keep up as much as I can." Heather have said and Henry put back on his sly smile as he turned back toward her while hiding his nerves and worries while he said quietly" I didn't think it was possible but we actually have something in common, we both want to learn as much as possible this year. Of course I only want to learn a certain advanced and possibly restricted charm just to prove to the charms professor that I can since he refused to teach me it-"Henry paused for a few minutes as he waited to hear any footsteps from outside but didn't as he continued"so while your still obnoxious and obliviously dimwitted, you also have a will to learn more and a amazingly loyalty to your friends that even I have to admire, ravenclaw. "

Nodding at Henry's words, Heather wondered how it would have been if she and the boy were both in the same house. Shaking her head at a particular funny thought, she looked back at Henry. "If we were in the same house, the Prefects would have gotten gray hairs because of us!"
She decided to ignore his last comment next, even though she wanted to tell him that she wasn't the obnoxious one there. As her partner quietened down, Heather continued searching for the last title, getting a bit frustrated as she couldn't seem to find it. From time to time, she took a glance up, staring at Henry. Though, he was sitting with the back at her, which the girl assumed it was because he was busy concentrating on the book. As she revealed him her reason for sneaking into the library, she noticed Henry turning back to her and smiling slyly.
" I didn't think it was possible but we actually have something in common, we both want to learn as much as possible this year. Of course, I only want to learn a certain advanced and possibly restricted charm just to prove to the charms professor that I can since he refused to teach me it so while you're still obnoxious and obliviously dimwitted, you also have a will to learn more and amazing loyalty to your friends that even I have to admire, Ravenclaw. " Smiling at his words, Heather shrugged. "What can I say? I am full of good qualities. For example," said the girl winking at Henry, "In your previous statement you have insulted me twice! As a good person who only sees the good in others, though, I'll ignore it and concentrate on the part where you complimented me!"
Bowing jokingly, Heather turned back to the shelves, clasping her hands together as she found the third book. "Great! I have got everything I wanted. What about you? Did you find the charm you needed?"

Henry couldn't help but chuckled a bit at the blonde haired Ravenclaw girl reply as he turned his attention back to his book, Henry felt that his nerves and worries were easing and even going away. For some odd reason he felt relaxed while talking and bickering with this blonde haired Ravenclaw which Henry never felt before nor had he bicker or insulted anyone before, he would be the one to get insulted usually and usually he would run away from that person or freeze up but yet here he is now happily bickering with another person who he felt like he could tell her anything. Henry didn't understand this they bicker with each other nonstop but he felt as if she was his friend and he could tell her anything that was bothering him or on his mind. Henry got shaken from these thoughts when he heard Heather say something like she found all her books and if he was ready to go.
Henry closed his books but kept on holding it when he looked up at Heather and smiled, but this smiled didn't hold any slyness or Slytherin in it, it was just a normal or friendly smile as he spoke " apparently I have. If your set then take your final glance since I doubt you will ever be back here and let's slither out before we get caught, 'Ravenclaw'." Henry walked toward the grate and placed one hand on it as he waited for Heather before he shut and lock it again, while he was waiting he peeked out the library door and thought he saw wand light so he picked his nose up and started to sniff the air to see if anyone followed them, which no one did but someone was coming their way. The only reason why I'm happy to be a werewolf so I don't get caught but who is that? if it's a prefect or professor then we can hide in my spot till they pass.

After the Ravenclaw had thoroughly looked in the books, memorizing and even writing some of them on the back of her makeshift plan sheet (which, turns out, was not that needed, as Henry's knowledge helped them enter the Restricted Area much easier) she raised her head to look up at the boy.
Even though she was pretty sure that she and the Slytherin weren't really enemies at that point, she was still a bit surprised to see him actually smile at her- a genuine one, without its usual hint of slyness. Returning the smile, Heather shook her head jokingly. "We don't know that for sure. I mean, I like walking around the castle during the night, who can be sure that I won't decide one day to sneak into the restricted area again? After all, I am quite impulsive."
Taking a last glance at the books, Heather softly grazed her fingers over the covers, as if she was saying her goodbyes before she put them back on their shelves. Then she followed Henry, thanking him as he held the gate for her. As the two children were looking around to see if there was anyone else, the Ravenclaw looked quickly at her partner in crime, doing then a double-take. "Did you just... sniff the air? Bloody hell, is there a new technique of casting spells that I haven't found about?" Heather whispered close to Henry's ear, a bit confused. Though she didn't give it that much thought- everyone had their own habits, and she wasn't the one to judge.

Hearing what Heather just asked made Henry panic and so turned his back on his so she couldn't see bus ever growing nerves and panic as a million thoughts started to form and spiral around the young Slytherin's head. Bloody hell does she think I'm a werewolf, no she can't know and I won't let her know. I'll just come up with a good lie and keep my cool demeanor by hiding my nerves and panic so she doesn't find out that I'm a werewolf and my secret shall stay save with me and a few of my friends who I told.
Henry smile a sly smile at had a hint of humor as he turned back around to face Heather and spoke while hiding any hints of nerves or panic "yes, it's call seeing if you smell nose sensitive cologne or body odor, as to see if anyone is following you. You should give it try since you want to learn as much as you can this year, ravenclaw." Henry shut the grate and lock it as he nodded in a cool way then smiled a natural smile that only had a hint of shyness to it as he made his way to the library door then opened it a crack with one hand as he kept the other firmly on his book, Henry peeked out of it to see who he smelled just a minute ago and if they were a threat.
I shouldn't have lied to her or at least said another lied that I think someone is close by. But what if I told her that and she figured out that I'm a werewolf, no it's for the best that I lied to her because I rather not have the whole school knowing that I'm a werewolf ... wait who was that?
As Henry got snapped out of his thought he breath in to smell their sent and noticed that it was a professor plus some students, the only time I'm bloody happy to a werewolf, Henry held his eye to the crack of the door that he held opened with his hand and saw around 4 professors plus the caretaker and a handful if prefects, walking in their direction. Henry shut the door rapidly but silently as he took his wand out from his jacket pocket and quickly said plus preform the locking charm on the door he did murmured" lumos", as the tip of his wand lit up he started to make his way to the back if the library but then stopped in his tracks and tuned to Heather.
" There's multiple professor's, prefects, and the caretaker outside and they look like their headed here," Henry paused as he quickly explained their situation to Heather this them with no sly smiled but be still kept his nerves and panic hidden from her as he continued" I know a spot we can hide in the back of library until they leave but we have to go now, so please come with me." Henry looked at her with his blue eyes sparking with pleading as s he didn't want her to get caught, while he bricked with her that doesn't mean that their enemies or anything and would hate to see her get in trouble as he stood there waitng for her answer.

While she didn't think much at first, Heather frowned a bit as Henry turned away from her. Was something wrong with her question? As the silence between them was getting longer and longer, the Ravenclaw started to feel a bit guilty; she didn't want to make the boy feel bad for his habits- they may have bickered before, but now it was all playful, and she'd never intend to actually come off as mean. As she was wondering if she should apologize or not, Henry suddenly spoke. "Yes, it's called seeing if you smell nose sensitive cologne or body odor, as to see if anyone is following you. You should give it try since you want to learn as much as you can this year, Ravenclaw."
Staring at him, Heather raised her eyebrows, letting out a short laugh before she playfully punched Henry. "You're just making fun of me, you bloody child! And here I was, getting really worried." Shaking her head, Heather laughed a bit at the situation, before she continued walking along with the boy.
Suddenly, the Slytherin stopped in his tracks. Turning to look at him, Heather started to rub her arms, the breeze coming from outside through the windows making her feel a bit chilly. "Why'd you stop? We are trying not to get caught, remember?" Heather said, albeit jokingly, though she frowned as she looked at her companion. He's doing that thing with his nose again, thought Heather. Though, I won't say anything this time, before he seemed to get a bit mad at my question.
As Henry looked through the crack of the door that was in front of them, he turned around, worry etched onto his features. "There's multiple professors, prefects, and the caretaker outside and they look like they headed here," Heather mumbled a curse in Italian, widening her eyes; the whole night there was no one out there, and suddenly all the teachers are coming? Something seemed fishy to the Ravenclaw, but before she could think about it, the Slytherin continued."I know a spot we can hide in the back of the library until they leave but we have to go now, so please come with me." Biting her lip, Heather didn't know what to believe; it could be just a simple prank Henry was playing on her, as a revenge for her previous nosiness. But then, he seemed quite worried, and he was looking at the girl as if he was begging her to listen to him...
Shaking her head, Heather sighed. "If we run all the way back to the library and I find that it was just a joke, I swear you won't get to play any pranks after that, nor ever cast a spell again. Now, lead the way." Grabbing Henry by the arm, she hurried him to go to the spot he suggested.

Henry held is wand high in his left hand and kept a firm grip on his book as he started to jog a bit to the back of the library while occasionally looking behind him to ensure Heather was there and didn't fall behind. They may have got off on a bad foot, but they weren't enemies and Henry enjoyed her company and their playful banter while he won't admit this out loud but he sort of considers her a friend, a friend who he likes to playful banter and bricker with.
Henry continue his light jog to an alsle that is in between the middle and the back. Henry ran Dow it then at the end he placed his book on the ground and held his wand in his mouth as he felt the wall with his hands then pushed on it lightly allowing the wall or secret door to swing open, relieving a hidden small room probably no bigger then a broom closest. Henry took his wand from his mouth and ran back out of the aisle as he held his wand up to illuminate around him and sniff the air to see how much time they had.
Henry ran back to the end if the aisle and place his book in the hidden room before standing to the side and looking at Heather as he spoke softly " we don't have much time so please get in, we'll be safe in here till they pass."

Heather followed Henry quietly, a bit dumbfounded at the boy’s actions; out of nowhere, he seemed to act pretty weirdly. Though, she decided to listen to him… After all, even if the Slytherin did play a prank on her, it was still better than the possibility of Heather ignoring his warnings and teachers actually catching them. She had no trouble keeping up with him, occasionally turning back to see if there was someone behind them. Thus, she didn’t watch out her step and bumped into Henry, as he stopped in front of a wall.
“Whoops, sorry.” Heather whispered, looking at the boy as he felt the wall with his hands. Immediately, a hidden room showed up! Raising an eyebrow and widening her eyes, the Ravenclaw was left speechless: this castle was full of secret chambers and corridors, and she was only then finding of it? Surely, from now on her nights were going to be full. In her awe at the finding of the new room, Heather didn’t notice Henry leaving her alone for a moment, nor his return. She only snapped out of her daze when he suddenly spoke. "We don't have much time so please get in, we'll be safe in here till they pass." Henry said in a soft tone, a tint of worry noticeable. “No need to tell me twice.”
Grinning, Heather entered the hidden chamber, curiosity shown on her features. She didn’t even care anymore if the boy was pranking her or if the teachers were going to catch them; she was happy nonetheless because she found a new secret spot! “How did you find this place? My goodness, this castle is much more intriguing than I thought!”

As soon as Henry watched Heather crawl into the hidden room, he checked their surroundings again then followed her in after he held his wand in his mouth again and pulled the secret door closed so it merely looked like the wall again.
Henry put out his wand then placed it back into his jacket pocket as some light started to sneak in from the library and from the professor's wands. “How did you find this place? My goodness, this castle is much more intriguing than I thought!” He heard Heather say as he pressed his nose against one if the cracks of the secret door and sniffed to ensure they were safe and how close the professor's were to them.
Henry turned his head to Heather as he spoke with a small smile on his face that was mainly friendly and showed no sign of slyness as he spoke " I found at the beginning of the term and please don't tell anyone, I come here to be alone when something's happen-" Henry paused then continued with a hint of slyness in his smile " And I wouldn't appreciate it if the whole castle knew, you only know about it because I wouldn't like you to get caught. So this is our secret Ravenclaw, got it." Henry smiled at her then turned back to the door and placed his nose at a crack and sniffed, the professor's were just fee feet off as he turned back to Heather and spoke quietly " The professor's are just a few feet away from us." Henry paused as he saw Heather staring at him weirdly, he guessed because he was sniffing the air so he was sort of forced to tell her as he continued but this time showing some nerves, he is about to revel a big secret as he spoke quietly " I'm a werewolf, that's why I been sniffing the air and knew that the professor's were coming this way. Werewolves in human form still have amazing smell and don't worry I won't hurt you," Henry paused then continued as he let a bit more worry show" I didn't have a choice to tell you because you were looking at me funny, but only a small amount of people here know so please don't tell anyone....I beg you ravenclaw, keep this to yourself because this is one of my most deepest secrets I have so please don't tell anyone,
Heather. "

"I found it during my first year at Hogwarts and please don't tell anyone, I come here to be alone when something happens-" Henry said, stopping abruptly; While she couldn't be sure about it, Heather felt like the Slytherin was hiding something. But, she decided, I shouldn't pry into it. "And I wouldn't appreciate it if the whole castle knew, you only know about it because I wouldn't like you to get caught. So this is our secret Ravenclaw, got it."
Heather nodded quickly; she understood that maybe this was Henry's secret point, and she wouldn't give it away- she didn't want to admit it yet, but she cared about the Slytherin boy, he was her friend...well, sort of. As Henry told her the professors were approaching, he seemed to be a bit troubled, like he wanted to confide in the Ravenclaw. Trying to encourage him, the girl let out a sweet, reassuring smile. "I'm a werewolf, that's why I been sniffing the air and knew that the professors were coming this way. Werewolves in human form still have an amazing smell, and don't worry I won't hurt you, I didn't have a choice to tell you because you were looking at me funny, but only a small amount of people here know, please don't tell anyone...I beg you Ravenclaw, keep this to yourself because this is one of my deepest secrets I have so please don't tell anyone, Heather."
Widening her eyes, Heather tried to contain her shock. Henry was a what? "I... wow. Thanks, I guess, for telling me," Heather rubbed the back of her neck, apparently a bit unsure of what to say. Though, in reality, all she could think was how cool was that! She had never met a werewolf before, and for the Ravenclaw girl, whose curiosity was off-charts, it seemed like now she had so many new things to talk about! "You don't have to worry, as you've noticed I'm loyal to the people I care about, and either way I don't share others' secrets... But we have to talk more about this, I have so many things to ask you about it!" Heather grinned excitedly.
