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.
