Celia Annaleigh Maddox was never one to waste time. She could always be counted on to do what was needed with the time that she was given. And so it was no surprise that the young Ravenclaw was in the library on a Saturday afternoon, when most of the other students were enjoying the time off. If asked why she was spending her Saturday in the library doing homework, she'd smile and say that being well prepared was much better than having a 'good time', after all, what good ever comes out of being ill prepared? But what most people didn't know, was that she never did homework on Saturdays. All her homework for the week was done by Friday, and if for some reason she couldn't get it done, than she saved it for Sunday. Homework was something that she didn't even think about on Saturdays. No, they were reserved for her independent studies. At the moment, she was studying advanced transfiguration, reading about things that were just barely touched upon during the school year.

Learning things that they weren't taught in the average class was important to Celia. She liked to be the most well informed person around. And she liked to know things that could help her out in the long run, whether it be a spell to stop her enemies, or stop a run in her stockings, she wanted to know them all. It was just how she'd always been, curious, and curiosity doesn't disappear with age or knowledge, but gets stronger. Finishing the book she was reading, Celia closed it with a snap and got up from the table she was sitting at. Walking toward the shelves, she tried to remember where she'd gotten the book from. It was a transfiguration book, so she went over to the section that housed those books. Finding an opening in the book shelf, she double checked to make sure it was its proper place, and put it back onto the shelf. Looking at the other books, she tried to locate one that she had yet to read. Seeing one up on the higher shelf, she tried to reach it, and failed. Checking to make sure she was alone, she decided to cast a spell to get the book. "Accio." she whispered, and watched as the book came to her.

[ELLE S. WEASLEY]

Her hair was tied up in a messy bun as her black heels clicked softly along the stone flooring that decorated the castles corridors. Of course as usual, her makeup and clothing was immaculate with the stylish edge she always carried. However accompanying her, was a bright smile taking the bitchy edge of her dress sense, though Elle did believe you could be well dressed and nice but then again that was not denying she didn’t come across as fierce. Elle could be very fierce if she wanted to be and the people on the receiving end of that ferocity knew about it.
Today Elle was on her way to the library, she had decided that finishing an essay for charms would be the best idea, especially since she was running out of plausible excuses what had the last one been? A racoon had stolen her slippers? She was losing her touch; you couldn’t even get raccoons in Britain! She was sure it had worked though, or perhaps that look of exasperation had always been present on her Professors face... Grinning to herself she made her way up to the fourth floor humming loudly as she contemplated breaking into a run. She really needed that book! What if some fiend stole it before she got the chance to get it? Then she would be done for, and it would be all that fiends fault!
She pushed open the door casually and strolled inside nodding a hello or smiling at those people she knew while ignoring or scowling at the ones she didn’t.

Elle scanned her eyes across the bookshelves it had to be around her somewhere... casting her eye’s across the covers they lit up in glee as they targeted the book she was searching for. Hugging it close to her she grinned widely in triumph, thankful for the lack of book fiends. Humming once more she turned to see a book fly off the shelf... Curiously Elle followed it until she found the source.
“Well hey there” she smiled, as she approached the familiar face of Celia Maddox. She’d known Celia since her first year and they were close grinning she looked at her friend and then the book in her arms.
“Nice book” she grinned “I’ve decided to join the literate crowd now” Elle nodded holding up the book, as her eyes cast across the expansive library “I hadn’t realised it was so big in here”

Grabbing the book out of the air, Celia let a small smile cross her lips. She knew that using magic in the library was frowned upon, if not against the rules, but she thought that it was the easiest way of getting the book, if not the most accepted. Breaking rules was something she didn't do often, and when she did, she usually felt miserable about it for some time. But using a simple summoning spell was not something she was going to let bother her. As long as no one happened to notice. Turning to go back to her table, she stopped dead in her tracks at the sight of someone standing there. Letting a small sigh escape her lips, she smiled, recognizing the girl instantly as one of her good friends, Elle Weasley. "You startled me a bit." Celia said, playing with the cover of the book she had in her arms. "You really shouldn't sneak up on people like that." she said jokingly, laughing a bit.

"You saw that, huh?" Celia said in regards to the summoning charm. She'd have to be more careful when using magic where she wasn't supposed to next time, because the next time, she might not be as lucky as to only have Elle see her using it. "Good for you." Celia said when Elle mentioned about joining the literate crowd. "We're not as awful as the illiterate crowd tends to make us out to be. We're actually quite nice if you get to know us." Laughing a bit, Celia looked at the book that Elle was holding protectively in her arms. "So, have you decided to join us for pleasure, or because you're being forced to by your Professors?" Celia wasn't sure whether or not Elle liked to read. She had never seen her with a book, but that didn't mean that she disliked to read, it just meant that Celia wasn't around when she did it.

Another smile crossed Celia's face when Elle commented on the size of the library. "Yes, it is rather massive in here." she said, letting her eyes wander around the expanse of the cavernous room. "But, they need a lot of space to keep all of the books. After all, the literate crowd would be extremely upset if the library didn't have as many books as it does."
