Mentioning: N/Aebony - #ff75b3The library was my favourite place to go when I was assigned homework. It was quiet, and no one was there to bother me. The fresh smell of books and paper filled my nose every time I walked through that pair of wooden doors, and, I quite like it.
However, the workload was getting heavier as the year went on, and we first years were never busier. Today, we were assigned multiple pieces of homework. I would rather spend the time in my dorm creating my own stories or art, but of course, homework must be completed.
I positioned myself behind a shelf, picking out a heavy brown leather book. Putting the book on the table, I sat down and pulled out a couple of papyrus and a quill.
The sound of pages flipping and quills scratching never ceased to calm me down. Probably because I never had anyone else other than books to be with.
As I finished sentence after sentence, my eyes started to droop and my brain felt like it was going to shut off. Even a Ravenclaw's brain gets tired sometimes, you know.
"You can get through this," I murmured to myself, and I jolted awake again. But for the first time, Ebony longed for a friend.Word Count: 211

Looking for a place to quietly do my homework, I knew the library would be a good place to go. It was quiet, serene, and peaceful. When I walked through the doors into the library, my eyes widened at the vast expanse of books. "Wow! I have never seen so many books!". I was doing pretty good at keeping on top of my assignments and I didn't have much free time because I found balancing my homework schedule and leisure time to be a bit of a challenge. I have been so busy! I love school but doing homework has always been my least favorite part of school but in order for me to learn new things, I need to do my homework. Before doing my homework, I pulled out a couple of pieces of parchment paper, some ink, and a quill to do my homework. Before I could get settled, I saw a Ravenclaw student in the same year as me sitting by herself. Knowing how I've always wanted friends, I walked up to her and introduced myself.
"Hi there. My name is Allison. I am a first-year Gryffindor student. You look like you could use a study buddy/a friend. I've seen you around the school before but I never properly introduced myself."

allison - #9e6b6bI was mid-sentence when a Gryffindor student walked up to me.
"Hi there. My name is Allison. I am a first-year Gryffindor student. You look like you could use a study buddy/a friend. I've seen you around the school before but I never properly introduced myself," she said.
I beamed at Allison. Looks like I've found myself a friend. Well, she found me, really.
"Hey! My name is Ebony, and I'm from Ravenclaw. I've seen you around too, although I'm not really that familiar with you. It would be great to know you. Oh, and pleasure to meet you," I replied, smiling. I put down my quill, hastily packing up my homework and supplies so that I could get to know this girl, Allison, better.
A sound of packing and rustling filled the uncomfortable silence. The rows and rows of books and the librarian were the only things and people present apart from us, and none were making sound. Barely anyone came to the library at this hour; they were all either hanging out in the Common Room or doing there own stuff. Oftentimes, I would be alone here, and that's when I felt the rare desire for friendship.
"So," I said, trying to start a conversation, "what do you usually like to do?"Word Count: 215

"I am so glad you asked! In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with my friends, watching movies & tv on my muggle television at home (when I'm not at Hogwarts), listening to music, etc. What do you like to do for fun? I am really excited about the school year! It's going to be a great term."
While waiting for Ebony's reply, I noticed that the bookshelves were quite dusty from the books that had sat there for years not being touched. The dust fell on my robe and I neatly brushed it off.

allison - #9e6b6b"That's cool," I replied, "me, I like to write stories, read, and make art in my dorm room. Sometimes I also enjoy doing homework if it's fun or interesting. But this is obviously not fun OR interesting. Oh, and I'm excited for the school term too!" I indicated to the essay I was doing that now lay on top of my open satchel.
Then, I noticed Allison was looking at something. Her hand moved to brush off some dust. I followed her gaze; she was looking at the lined of shelves of books. Like usual, the many books were so covered in dust; probably the result of nobody really taking the books out.
"A bit dusty here isn't it?" I giggled, "Oh, and I have another question; do you play Wizarding Chess?" I asked Allison.
Waiting for her reply, I tried to take in the features of my newly-made friend. She had beautiful long blonde hair, a diamond face like many other pretty girls, fair rosy lips, and crystal clear and piercing blue eyes. She reminded me with a pang of sadness of my mother, who had the same long blonde hair. At that moment, I started to miss home, and mom and dad.Word Count: 204

"That sounds like a lot of fun and a great way to pass time. I am always looking for new hobbies. I also find homework fun if it's about a topic I like." I replied. I noticed that Ebony had a completed essay that she wrote herself laying on top of her bag. I never had the motivation to do schoolwork and it's not fun if I'm not doing it with someone.
"It is a bit dusty in here. I sometimes feel bad for the books that sit on the shelves and collect dust and don't have the chance to be read." I said. I continued on the conversation. "I have never played wizarding chess before in my life. I have played the muggle version of it but not the wizard version of it but I'm willing to learn"! I said.

allison - #9e6b6b"It is a bit dusty in here. I sometimes feel bad for the books that sit on the shelves and collect dust and don't have the chance to be read," Allison said. I nodded in agreement. "I know, right! I set this personal goal the first time I came into the library to read all the books on these shelves, but so far I've only read 2 shelves- so far away from my goal," I replied, laughing slightly.
I noticed Allison looking at my essay and smiled inwardly. Such a smart girl as herself would probably think my use of words were too simple.
"I have never played wizarding chess before in my life. I have played the muggle version of it but not the wizard version of it but I'm willing to learn!" Allison continued, as answer to my question.
"Oh, are you from a Muggle family?" I asked, curious, "I've always wondered how you all manage it, it must be so much to take in, all the magic, spells, information... I come from a magical family myself, and I still find all the magic and incantations and potions that we learn overwhelming. But of course, you must be a clever witch."
"Oh, and about the wizard chess, would you like to play sometime? I would be more than willing to teach you," I said, replying to Allison's previous comment.Word Count: 231

While having a conversation with my new friend, she was asking me about my family background.
"Yes, I am a muggle-born. I didn't discover my magical abilities until I turned 10 I believe" I replied. "It's not easy living in a muggle household because I know we aren't allowed to perform magic outside of Hogwarts especially with how old we are and I take my academics very seriously. Wizards in a magical household must be able to have it easier than me because they can use simple charms to help with household tasks but I could be wrong." I said.
While Ebony was telling me about her family life, she redirected the conversation about wizarding chess. "Sure, I would love to play wizarding chess with you sometime! Thank you for being willing enough to teach me! I replied excitedly to her question.

I laughed, even though I knew Allison wouldn't find it funny.
"Not all wizards and witches have a knack for household spells, actually. And my mom and dad definitely didn't; they couldn't do a simple packing spell! I suppose they do know how to charm things to do stuff for them, though, like when they're cooking,"I replied.
I found that Allison was getting easier and easier to talk to; even though we weren't very similar, I felt she was already being such a good friend just by keeping me company in the time I usually spent alone.
I suddenly realised Allison might not be comfortable talking to me about her family. After all, I was just a Ravenclaw stranger that she just met today.
I bit my lip as the beginning of an uncomfortable silence began.
"... Are you okay with us talking about your family?" I asked awkwardly, not wanting to meet her eye.
Of course, I was going to mess up. I was going to blow my chance to make a new friend. Me and my st*pid mouth.

"... Are you okay with us talking about your family?" Ebony asked.
"Anything you want to know about me or my family, feel free to ask. I don't mind answering any questions. Usually, when I meet new people, it takes a while for me to warm up to them but for some reason, I seem to really trust you even though we just met. Allison answered.
While continuing on the conversation, Ebony had asked me if I would be interested in playing wizarding chess with her since I have never played it before. "I'd love to play wizarding chess with you. Just let me pack up my things and we can get started! Allison replied excitedly.
