September 15 - Stupid Books
Who: Brenna, Eline
Where: Library
When: After classes
Rating: PG

Status: Closed, completed
Summary: Brenna catches Eline's attention by swiping the book she was checking out. The two girls chat for a bit with minimal snark before Eline attempts to trick Brennan into talking about Lan, who's standing behind her looking at books. When Brenna doesn't catch on, the trick backfires, though eventually Lan's laughter catches Brenna's attention. They joke about it for a bit and after Landon leaves, the girls talk about boys and dating before Eline notices how late it's gotten and they head to the Great Hall for dinner.

Brenna was waving her wand around absently, slouched back in one of the chairs in the library, just glaring at the History of Magic text open on the table in front of her. She still needed another six inches for her essay, despite using her largest handwriting, and she was stuck on what to add in.

Sure, she could tangent, but hers wound up really venturing off the beaten path, leaving her with comments like 'please stick to the topic' when she got the papers back.

Making a face at the book, Brenna looked around the library for someone - anyone - to bother.

Eline always cursed herself for taking Muggle Studies. She thought the class would be easy since she was a Muggleborn, how would she know how a stove worked though? Honestly, who cared? So she entered the library with a mission: to find out how stoves worked.

She scanned the section designated for Muggle objects and smiled triumphantly when she found a book titled ‘Muggle Kitchen Appliances’. She quickly took it out and began toward the librarian to check it out. She had absolutely no idea why she was looking forward to learning about things she already knew.

Right. Someone from her house and year. Someone not on the team, who wasn't going to give her any guff for being annoying.

Excellent.

Slipping her wand out, Brenna pointed it toward Eli's book. "Accio, that book," she whispered as she flicked her wand, hoping to pull the book zooming over.

Why yes, Brenna was a pest when she was bored. She'd also cottoned on, last year, that saying 'accio book' in a library was a very, very bad idea. So she'd figured out how to be a little more specific about it.

As soon as the book flew out of Eline’s hands she twisted around to face the person responsible for the action. She probably looked very dumb as she turned in circles a few times until her eyes caught on to the only other person in the library. Maybe glasses weren’t a bad idea…?

“Why did you do that?” Eline asked, trying to keep a steady voice. Very few things didn’t set her off. Unfortunately, this was one of the things that did.

	"Do what?" Brenna asked, completely innocent even as she opened up the summoned book. Why on Earth a Muggleborn would be taking Muggle studies was beyond her. She flipped through the pages, wondering what in here Eline was after, though she did glance up now and again. "Why're you even taking this class?" (Reply to this) (Parent)

Eline rolled her eyes at Brenna and ran her fingers through her hair at an attempt to calm herself, it usually worked and this time was no disappointment. She stared at Brenna for a moment the sighed.

“I thought it’d be an easy E,” she admitted solemnly. “But honestly, why would anyone ever need to know how a stove works? Most Muggles don’t even know that! Or at least my grandmother doesn't, but then again she still calls the freezer the ice box...” Eline ranted loudly. She didn’t care if she was in the library where she was suppose to keep quiet.

"How d'you know what most Muggles know? You've met a lot of them?" Brenna slid the book across the table toward Eline. "Might want to drop your voice. No sense in giving the new librarian something to hemorrhage over."

She grinned. "I dropped it after my third year when I figured out what it was. I'd rather traipse around a forest looking for bowtruckles than try to explain how cable works."

	“Yeah,” Eline said folding her arms then looked at the library doors to make sure Landon was gone. “I think he’s cute but I wouldn’t date him. Don’t really know him,” she shrugged. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Brenna blinked at the odd logic. "Right, but unless you were into girls, you wouldn't be going out with me, anyway. And you know me. I mean, we've been in the same commons for years now." Her head tilted slightly before she shrugged it off. "So if you only date people you know, how do you get to know people well enough to decide if you want to date them?"
