WHO. Nic & Hugo
WHAT. Nic wants to bug Hugo.
WHERE. Library.
WHEN. Lunch inthe Library.
RATING. TBA.
STATUS. Closed / In progress

Nicole had always appreciated the library's silence. It was such a good contrast to the loud calls and cheers of the Quidditch Pitch, which set a barrier between the two lives she led. The geek and the seeker. Even to her, it seemed like clashing worlds, though with proper planning she'd managed to balance these two careers and do well in both.

She was looking for a good read when she'd spotted a familiar dark-haired Ravenclaw. He was studying again, which wasn't a real surprise, though it did leave her wondering how he was when there wasn't a book within reach. She neared him, sneaking up behind him. "Will I ever see you not studying, Weasley?" she whispered close to his ear, moving behind his seat. She eyed the quills on the table and started putting them on his hair, one by one with a smile on her face. "So, so serious..."

Getting back at fourth years, hm? With a devious smile, Nic took him by the wrist again and led him down a few corridors. She paused and pretended they were a couple just holding hands and looking at books when they passed by the seemingly irritated librarian, before they ran down a few more corridors in search of those little kids who interrupted Hugo. He needed this release she found, so she was going to go help him get it.

And then she spotted a good group. A bunch of girls exchanging fierce whispers near the table Hugo had occupied. With a small smile, Nic took out her wand and made the ink bottle in the middle of their table explode. They gasped and stood, flapping their hands in front of their faces, not knowing what they could do.

Nic hid behind the shelf, pulling Hugo with her and giggled behind her hand. "Did you see that??!" she whispered. "Was the what you had in mind?"

Hugo had mentioned it... since it was really something he would like to do, but never did. He'd made the mistake with the books, but it didn't really hurt anyone so he was okay with that. So he followed Nicole till they got to where the table was with the giggling girls.

He didn't really know what to do for pranks... but Nicole seemed to have something in mind. So he stood by and watched, as she made the ink bottle explode and Hugo was gaping in surprise.

He didn't stand there long since Nicole pulled them back into hiding. Hugo chuckled himself, looking back at the panicking girls. "Not quite... but it was better than what I would have come up with."

Nicole could barely contain her giggles. They escaped her, even though she didn't want them to, which she saw after taking a peak through the shelves that one of the girls had heard her. Acting without really thinking, she took Hugo by the waist and turned them so she could be against the shelf, with Hugo so close before her. It was like they were doing something they shouldn't in the library...

And it was just in time! The girl appeared at the other end of the shelf, looking quite enraged, still with ink on her face. Nic shot her a glare like she'd interrupted something she shouldn't. After the girl had seen the seen wasn't the one she thought it was, she moved on to the next in search for the people who made their ink bottle explode.

When she was gone, her giggles were back though this time she tried very hard to keep them quiet, barely noticed what sort of position she'd left both of them in...

Hugo was concerned about Nicole giggling too loud. They were going to be heard, and then get caught! But just like before, Nicole tugged them quickly away into hiding again. Her arms were around his waist, and Nicole got really close... If anyone saw them and didn't know any better... well it would seem like they were snogging in the library.

And after Hugo stared wide eyed, and watched Nicole glare the girl away, the giggled came back. Nicole really did giggle a lot. It wasn't bad though. In fact Hugo liked the sound of her laugh. And she was still close to him, and he could feel her movements against his chest as she laughed.

Nicole breathe a sigh of relief when the girls finally let them be, glad that they had bought what act she'd initiated. And Hugo seemed to act the part, evn though it's not direct. She looked up at him and candidly found herself admiring the soft contours of his face. Quite a handsome young chap he was, she found and from where she stood so close she could almost count every strand of his enviable ling lashes.
His eyes were so nice, too, the sort that gave a reflection of how he was: gentle and nice...

"Good acting." Nic praised, smiling up at him, nudging him playfully. "I think they bought it. Doesn't it feel feel good to take a break from studying once in a while?" Though at the back of her mind she knew she was supposed to be studying as well, she thought she preferred this much more.

Hugo was relieved too when the girls left them along, but that still didn't let all of his anxiety leave. Especially because he was hiding behind a shelf... with a girl... who was really, really close. And pretty. And very intimidating at times... but especially pretty.

And she was looking at him, and the look on her face made Hugo very curious as to what she was thinking. But Hugo couldn't look away. So he noticed things about how soft her cheeks looked... and her pretty eyes, and those lips- he couldn't stop looking at them.

"Th-thanks," Hugo said when she praised him about his not so good acting ability. At least she was being nice. He rubbed his hand over where she nudged him. "Yeah... it's good. Thinking about not getting caught instead of notes is definitely a change," he said with a careful laugh.

A quick look at clock at the clock on the wall to her right told her that play time needed to be over. Of course, she didn't want to, not when everything just got so interesting. Though part of her knew she had tons of paperwork to do now, and not a lot of time to do them. Always the crammer, she was.

"This has been fun, Hugo." Nic said, very gently moving away from him as she started walking backwards, down the aisle. "Let's do this again sometime, hm?" she said, and winked before disappearing down the hall, and out of the library with a grin on her features.
