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.

“Well how about this, I try to help you with your goal--if that’s possible since I can’t fly all that well--and you help me with mine, if that is possible. It could be like a… friendship thing?” Eline asked warily. The last person she had declared her friend, she blew off in about three days. Could she risk this again?

It couldn’t help trying, she supposed. If worst came to worst, she’d just have no friends again and she was fine with that. More of… used to it actually. Either she insulted her way out of friendships or she got bored. She doubted that she could get bored with Brenna though, maybe annoyed instead.

"You could do both." Brenna decided. "You could get a boyfriend in another house who's on the team, and distract the hell out of him so he doesn't fly as well. You know, keep him up really late the night before a game and stuff."

She paused. "Like Landon. You could definitely do that."

Though she doubted Lan would fall for a distraction like that. Still, it might happen.

“I might just do that for you,” Eline giggled at the idea. Landon? A possibility. She never said she wouldn’t date him. She wasn’t sure if he’d like her though… Wait, back up, why was she thinking about him? She really must have been changing. Eli wondered if it was for better or worst, though. She preferred the former but she could be losing her mind so it wasn’t a guarantee.

“I’d feel bad if I went out with a guy just to distract him though.” She’d just stay in denial until she could find some other guy on a Quidditch team. One who didn’t matter.

So Lan mattered to her now? Brenna had completely screwed her up now.

	"Right," Brenna said. "Well, maybe some guy will ... you know. Fall into your lap or something, and it'll be love at first sight." Sure, it was unlikely, but that didn't mean it wouldn't happen. Hadn't a lot of great loves been spawned as a result of klutziness coupled with gravity? Brenna was sure there was a section in a history book about it somewhere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

“Maybe,” Eline shrugged and glanced out the window. The sun was setting. They had been in the library for that long? Talk about a record on Eli’s account. She picked up her book and stood up.

“Well… it’s almost time for dinner. I have to check this out, I guess I’ll see you tonight?” Eline asked, brushing her bangs out of her eyes. She had so many weird habits she stopped counting. She fancied that she didn’t sound too hopeful, but she probably did.

	"Yeah, sure. You can even walk with me down to the pitch," she teased lightly before she dropped her attention back to her own essay. Oh right. That's why she was here. Well, there'd be time after dinner and after the match. Closing her parchment in her book, she started to pack her things away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

“What do you think I‘m going to trip on somebody‘s broom?” Eline smirked, knowing she‘d probably do that. She had to deleted some photos off of her camera anyway, so when they were getting ready she could do that. Eline had never been to one of the mock games, but maybe she’d learn a few things. Like how to not crash a broom, that was a hard one for her.

	Brenna grinned. "I think it'd be hard to manage that," she assured her. "It isn't like they go about kicking them down the hallway where you could trip." Though she supposed Tristan might do something like that for a joke at some point ... but generally, they carried their brooms properly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

“Peeves might do that.” The little bugger had thrown five dung bombs at her in first year and she smelled like a skunk for a week. It wasn’t a very pleasant experience, and they really didn’t get along much after that. He tended to make things explode on her lately. Like her lunch… That was embarrassing.

Eline walked over to the desk and checked out her book then shoved it into her blue messenger bag--blue was her favorite color--then she looked at Brenna.

“So when are you going to finish your stuff?” she asked.

"I dunno. Later. Before bed or something," she said with a casual shrug. Odds were, she could get a classmate to let her copy the important things. She could be very ... insistent if she had to be.

Of course, she might be too tired after the match to bother with a bath let alone homework, but she supposed they'd see.

Either way.

She glanced over to Eline with a little grin before they started out of the library, and presumably toward the Great Hall.

“I don’t know how the Gryffindor’s do it,” Eline glanced at the four flights of stairs they had to go down. Since the Hufflepuff common room was in the cellar, she was used being able to run to the common room from anywhere. She hated climbing stairs as much as she disliked the library, that’s why she never signed up for Divination.

Their trip was short, although Eline complained a lot and hid behind Brenna when she saw Peeves, and soon they were in the Great Hall.
