Main Library

"To Howlers 'R' Us!" Calista laughed. "...Or we could just rob them instead, to cut expenses..."

Viper pondered the idea with a smirk. "You do the deed, I'll be your getaway driver."

Calista snorted with laughter. "The Prophet would have a field day...'Hogwarts professors rob howler factory'..."

"Assuming we got caught."

"True. But what would we say to the Headmistress when we turn up with a huge delivery of stolen howlers?"

"Our budget crisis is solved!"

Calista laughed. "We'll have to fireproof the new furniturem to prepare for the flow of howlers!...Thats quite ironic."

Viper nodded. "It is."

"But who cares about irony if we get new furniture?" Calista grinned.

Viper shrugged. "Depends on the furniture..."

"Hm...Well if we don't like it, we can just set fire to it with the howlers and get more."

Raven entered the library shyly and sat down at a table to read. She saw the 2 professors talking but didn't bother with them. She opened her book and started reading trying to ignore the professors and concentrate on her book.

Diana had came across something interesting about birds and was reading engrossedly, all was well and good, if she hadn't been walking at the same time. So as foreseeable as a bludger coming straight at you, Diana bumped into a table with a Slytherin sitting on it quietly reading.

"Oh, I'm terribly sorry!" Diana said rather surprised to find herself there.

Raven looked up at the student and smiled shyly, "Oh don't worry it's ok. My name is Raven what is yours?" she asked wanting to be friendly. "Please take seat."

Diana blinked, pleasantly surprised at the fact that a Slytherin was being civil to her, mostly they don't warm up to Gryffindors... silly of her to be prejudice considering Darien.

"Diana," she said sitting down. "So what are you reading?"

"Nice to meet you Diana" Raven wasn't sure being friends with a Gyrffindor was a good idea but she doesn't have any friends besides Juria.

"I'm reading Necronomicon - by the mad Arab it's quiet an interesting book if you ask me" Raven smiled.

"Necromicon?" Diana repeated. "I don't think I'm familliar with that... is it similar to necromancy?"

"I don't think so to be exact" Raven replied unsure.

"Oh," Diana said. "Do you usually go here?"

"Yes, whenever I find the time to come here. I love the library it's filled with books and I love reading...What about you?" Raven asked putting her bookmark inside the page she was on and closing the book.

"I don't really come here as much as I would like to." Diana said honestly. "I like it here as well, there's a certain scent that's just... appealing, and well I love to read as well."

"Yeah with all the homework and everything it's tough to get some free time" Raven knows how she feels, wanting to come here but doesn't have the time.

"That's great you love books we have something in common now" Raven smiled at the Gryffindor.

"Sure," Diana smiled back. "That and we go to Hogwarts. Have you made any friends with the other school's students?"

"True, true" Raven smiled.

"No I haven't I only made friends with the school nurse and you. I'm not really the social type unless I'm up to it, which is kind of rare for me" Raven replied.

"That's quite a shame," Diana said rather shocked to find that Raven wasn't really too social. "There's some wonderful people about."
