((Anyone can reply!))
The common room was too noisy.
That was her excuse for making her way down here, to the library. A sense of peace enveloped her as she stepped through the doors into the near-silent room. The cane in her right hand remained silent, having been warned moments before that if it spoke it would end up kindling in the common room fire.
Closing the door behind her, Kira made her way forward. Her robes shifted slightly about her legs as she moved and the bag that carried her books bobbed slightly with the motion of her gait. Soon, she reached a table, chairs surrounding it unoccupied as far as she could tell. Sitting down in the nearest seat she dropped her bag, along with the Speaking Cane, to the floor at her feet. A quick rummage through her bag and she emerged successfully with a thick book. Setting the book on the table, she snapped her bag closed once more before sitting upright.
Fingers slid across the front of the book as she worked to ascertain the title. Yes, it was indeed the workbook she was searching for. Hands dropping to her lap, she paused for a long moment, trying to avoid the inevitable, almost wishing the book would disappear from in front of her. When, after several minutes, the book still remained, she let out a resigned sigh, reaching forward to open it to the desired page. A slight frown appearing on her face, she set to work, fingers moving slowly but steadily across the page. Letters appeared in her mind as she continued, brow furrowed in concentration.
D. C. L. G. Her frown deepened at the contraction, trying to remember what it stood for from several pages back. The meaning danced just out of reach and she gave in and flipped back to the page she had found it on.
Declaring. She nodded at the knowledge, turning back to her previous page and continuing her study.
This could take a while, she thought to herself.

Dante had begun to make her way to the table that she usally sat at but her mind told her that there was another person sitting there, vaguley she wonder if it were safe to sit beside them. "You mind id I sit here she asked." Her eyes searched though she knew she would see nothing. As she searched a book fell from her grasp and landed on the table, the tiny bumps her only way of finding it. "I'm sorry I'm a terriable clutz." She apoligized.

Persephone had found her way to the solace of the library. She had had a hard day, and she desperately needed to get away from the crowded common room and the never ending noise. She was certain that if she had stayed there she would have snapped.
So instead she had headed to the library hoping to find some book to bury herself in and try to drown the rest of the day. She knew that the chances of that happening were very slim, but still she would have loved to try.
Sephe walked down the book shelves and found a book. It looked good, so she pulled it off the shelves and headed towards her usual table. She could see Dante and Kira as she got closer. She was glad that the two of them were sitting there. She had been hoping to find some way to introduce them to each other.
She sat down across from her friends.
"Hey Kira, hey Dante. You guys mind if I join?"

Dante jumped a bit at the new voice. "Hey Persephone I don't mind but yeah I guess." Dante sat down and pulled out her book and began to read. "And what brings you hear my friend?"She asked Persephone.

The frown that had appeared on her face as a result of her intense concentration eased slightly at the sound of approaching footsteps. She turned toward the person, knowing she often unnerved people when she talked without attempting to turn in their general direction. A small smile replaced the her frown.
"Sure, be my guest," she replied to the almost hesitant-sounding question. Gesturing toward the empty chair beside her, she was about to resume her study when a new voice joined in.
"Hi Sephe," she returned cheerily, adding, "Pull up a chair."
Formalities finished, she turned her attentions back to the book laying open in front of her, fingers edging forward carefully to discern the next portion.

"You know Sephe to shes my best friend." Dante laughed. She could tell the girls attention had changed. "Are you reading...I like to read...sorry rambaling." Dante opened her potions book and began to read that days lesson she had missed...she had slept in. "Persephone what are you doing here?" She asked again.

"The never ending Divinations essay." She groaned slightly, but she knew her friends knew it was an exasperated thing. But it was true that she had to do the essay, even if class had been slightly distracted...
"So, how have you guys been?"
She looked at both of her friends. She pulled out her parchment and divinations book. Opening it to the section on dreams she frowned and looked at it. There was no way she was ever going to get this done.

Fingers pausing mid-sentence, Kira nodded briefly in response to the girl's question.
"Yes," she affirmed verbally. "Well, trying to. I'm.... learning a new method of reading."
That said, she turned back to focus on the words under her fingers, brow furrowing once more in concentration as the words formed slowly in her mind's eye.
Hearing Persephone's resigned groan, Kira turned from her book once more. Gaze rising to flicker in Sephe's direction she grinned, giggling slightly. The sound was quickly quelled to keep from disturbing the other students in the library.
"'Never ending divination's essay'?" she echoed amusedly. "How appropriate."
Fingertips deserted the book before her once more, fingers twining together before she rested her hands on the table. She brushed a strand of brown hair from her face, idly tucking it behind one ear, before replying to the question.
"Not too bad," she said simply. "Not too bad at all. I'm finally starting to get settled in and meet some new people."
Her mind wandered back to the fiasco in the Great Hall and she winced slightly, recalling the people she had met. Banishing a frown from her face, she returned to the present, tucking the past away.
"How about you Sephe?" she asked. "How have you been?"

"I've been ok. Trying to get ready for the new Quidditch season and all...and studying all night."
She omitted the stuff about the graveyard thinking it would be better not to tell her friends about the attack. It was in the past, and she had survived it...barely. She only hoped her friends weren't going to have to go through the same thing.
"How 'bout you Dante?"

"Oh the same you know, I've detention...again...but I have no idead what I did wrong you know, though I never do, and the never ending potions essays, sometimes I hate being the teachers pet." Dante laughed, she got her self setteled and opened a potiond book, reading the part she had skiped in class.

"You know amazingly I've avoided detention...though I've probably jinxed that now."
She looked at her divinations essay and started to write about the meaning of dreams and why people had them, but her mind was everywhere but no where at the same time. She couldn't concentrate on omens and other things.
"I might scream if someone ever asks me about their dreams again..." said said as she wrote down another sentence.
