It was a quiet Saturday. The grounds were coated in snow that muffled whatever sound was to be heard. The lake was still coated in glistening ice, and most students were huddled up indoors where it was warm. For the academically inclined, the library was the place to go. Soft wintry light filtered through the windows, the flipping of pages and scratching of quills filling the room.
Callista was poring over her third assignment of the day, a particularly difficult Potions assignment. Short book stacks of various topics littered the table around her, all of them within reach if she so desired. Some were directly relevant to what she was working on, others more obscure. Potions was never her strong suit.
The young girl could feel a light headache forming, so she set down her quill to massage her temples. Perhaps a short break would do her good. "Do you know the answer, Sachi?" she murmured. The Silver Siberian only blinked up at her, curled as she was on the seat next to her. Callista knew it could get a bit drafty in the library, especially in the winter, so she had brought along a small blanket for Sachi to rest in while she worked.
Contemplating the problem, she stroked Sachi fondly. The cat had become a sort of therapy for her, offering her comfort and companionship. Callista let out a quiet sigh, tinted with mild frustration.
Flipping pages, scratching quills, and the quiet purr of her cat set up a gentle atmosphere that Callista rested in, surrounded by books and an unfinished scroll.

A Lesson in Being Human

Avery simply was having a bad day. Nothing has happened, she just, as the muggles put it, woke up on the wrong side of the bed. The girl simply craved solitude, and knew the only balm for her ache would be to visit her favorite place at the school, or second favorite at least. The greenhouse just did not seem fitting for the mood she was in today, to light and full of good memories, today, all Avery wanted, or rather needed, was a place to brood.
The green-eyed girl felt like a walking cliche as she walked towards to library. She was dressed in all black, the only pops of color being her watch, necklace, and belt buckle; but even the silver seemed duller than usual. With a glance out the window as she walked, Avery sighed, even the weather seemed to match her mood today.
The door to the library creaked as Avery pushed it open, wincing at the noise. She began to wander the shelves aimlessly, looking for something to read. The piles of schoolwork, they can be ignored for the time being, because chances are, that Avery will take out her mood on a Transfiguration assignment and it will end up looking like a crazed toddler with scissors and ink did it instead of a dignified twelve year old.
Avery reached the end of a row of books, with no luck on finding anything interesting, when she notices a beautiful cat laying out, and the soft voice of a girl. The captain has seen this other girl around before, in the halls, in the common room, in the great hall, but has never had a conversation with her past 'please pass the salt' or 'is anyone sitting here?'.
The other girls voice reaches Avery's ears again as she asks her cat, who's name is Sachi apparently, if she knew the answer to the problem, as if the cat could speak, as if the cat even understood a word coming from the other girl's mouth.
Avery, with her curiosity getting the better of her, leaned over to see what the question even was, it was simply asking one to connect a description of an ingredient with the ingredient.
Impulse took over as she scoffed "Beetle eyes are what you are looking for." Her tongue was sharp, and her eyebrow raised.
