As he leaned against the bar waiting for Seamus to fetch him his drink, Dominic rolled his shoulders in an effort to ease the muscles there. 'Ginny wants a dance party,' Seamus had said, so Dominic had set to work experimenting with music, a dance floor and even a charm to replicate light spinning off a muggle disco ball. He still wasn't done, he'd need to go back before Ginny arrived - but the party wasn't due to start until nine and Dominic had been working since lunch. He was due a break.

He took his butterbeer from Seamus (not too alcoholic - he still had work to do) with a nod of thanks. "I'll be in The Corner," he said, having already ordered food. "Hand me those books, would you?" There was a stack of books behind the bar that Dominic had been meaning to distribute to the bookshelf for days. No matter how many books he gave away, he always seemed to have more. He sometimes wondered if there wasn't some kind of magic to being a Ravenclaw that meant you attracted books like a magnet attracted metal, whether you wanted them or not.

Carrying both books and drink resting against his chest, he made his way into the corner - groaning at the sight of the bookcase. Someone had left it in a complete mess and Dominic was going to have to sort it out before he could fit all his own books onto it. With a frown, he dropped down to his knees in front of it, pulling the books that had been piled sideways onto the shelves down and spreading them on the floor to read the titles.
