elena goyle, jacob wood, november 2022

Who: Elena Goyle and Jacob Wood
What: Going to the library
Where: Hallway on the way to the library
When: November 4th
Rating: PG
Status: Complete

Despite her most recent encounter with the library that had ended rather embarrassingly, Elena could only hold off from visiting for so long before people got tired of loaning their books. Besides, it would be nice to get rid of some of the books that she had already finished. She had never been a fan of clutter.

Besides, if the library door chose to take revenge on her again, she had a quidditch match tomorrow she could use to beat out the embarrassment it would bring with it. Being a beater was a brilliant form of stress relief. She had already planned on getting out her frustration with the Sage and Westley situation, and the embarrassment would just be one extra good thwack into a Gryffindor player.

As she rounded the corner, a familiar head of hair came into view. "Jacob!" The two had never been particularly close, but they talked often in class, and Elena would certainly appreciate a walking buddy. And hey, maybe he could protect her from the wicked ways of the library doors.

Elena followed behind him, wondering why it was they never seemed to talk outside of class. She liked Jacob; he was nice, but she'd never given much thought to spending more time with him. Any guy that could brush off being trampled with a smile was good in her book, especially good-looking ones.

She was half-expecting the bookshelf to fall upon him when he reached up, but it seemed luck was on their side for the moment. "Thanks!" She wondered what normal girls would do around cute blokes at this point. Would they nonchalantly reach up and 'accidentally' brush their hand against his? Giggle maybe? Would they lower their lashes as they thanked him? Whatever the case may have been, Elena Goyle was not- in her mind at least- any sort of normal girl. Fourth year was a long while ago, and with Sage growling at every male within a ten foot radius, Elena was rather... flirting-inept.

"So..." she trailed off, shifting her weight back onto her heels a bit awkwardly. She wanted to stay for a bit longer, strike up some form of conversation, maybe even help him with his Transfiguration homework, but what came out instead was, "I guess you probably need to get to work on that assignment, huh?"

Jacob had the book down and he rocked back on his heels a bit as he stepped back from the book case. "Here you go," he said handing the book to Elena with a smile.

He was glad he didn't have to make some awkward joke in order to continue the conversation, but Elena spoke first. "Yeah probably. I'll have to go look for the books I need," he said with a sigh. He really didn't want to do homework anymore. "Maybe I could... catch you at your table before I go?"

	Elena's eyes lit up as he offered to stop by before leaving, a grin sneaking its way up to rest upon her lips. "I'd like that," she told him. She was surprised, especially after nearly giving him a concussion, that he would want to, but it didn't make her any less excited at the idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jacob grinned wider when Elena said he could come by to see her. "Great! I definitely will then," he said shifting the strap of his bag on his shoulder. "I'm going to go find the books I need then, I'll see you later!" he said moving down the aisle towards the Transfiguration section, but he turned to look back as he went. (Reply to this) (Parent)
