”Oh, erm, eh, yes,” he murmured somewhat sheepishly, long fingers pushing himself up right and then curling gently in Germaine’s, using her anchored stability to pick himself up off the floor. The crimson color was slowly draining from his ivory features and he swiped his hands across his clothes shaking away any dust. A crooked smile awkwardly wormed onto his lips as he met her gaze. ”Ah, well... It’s been a while since I’ve last, err, tripped-- I gues I was due.” He tried to muse, but the light hearted tone ended out coming flat and matter-of-factly. He tried to brush off the tragic event by reverting the conversation back to it’s original flow.
”So, wait, I remember that! Well, the smell anyway, it lingered almost all the way down the dungeons, I heard mates complain about that smell for weeks.” A bare chuckle fluttered under his breath. ”Experimental lectures, must have been difficult to handle, analyzation at every instance. My parents are quite the perfectionist themselves....
“And as for work, I can’t lie, I’ve gotten distracted too many times to count rummaging through old paperwork; it’s like the secrets of history that you can’t find in any textbook.” He chuckled, and, in the corner of his eye, he thought he saw a flurrish of movement. His peripherals had always been keen (paranoia went along way with him.) That’s how he noticed that they weren’t alone and someone else was in the store with them, but he hadn’t seen who it was. Just a wisp of brunette hair that had dash behind an aisle. Somehow, he couldn’t help but feel a connection of familiarity. Still, he decidedly turned to Germaine and offered the slightest smile. ”So, I.... I was wondering... I was about to go to the Lotus Tea Shop... Would you, um, like to... join me..?”

I don't like WALKING around this OLD and EMPTY HOUSE
So HOLD my HAND, I'll WALK with you, my DEAR
The stairs CREAK as I SLEEP, it's KEEPING me AWAKE
It's the HOUSE telling you to CLOSE your EYES There's an OLD VOICE in my HEAD that's HOLDING me BACK
Well TELL her that I MISS our LITTLE TALKS
SOON it will be OVER and BURIED with our PAST
We used to PLAY OUTSIDE when we were YOUNG and full of LIFE and full of LOVE
 Madam Germaine Dyan Umber
Former Hufflepuff
Muggleborn company- Gabriel
location- Obscurus Books
reading- The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins
wearing- out and about
Germaine shrugged. "Floors. They're tricky." There was only a hint of humor in her tone, it was almost as matter of fact as his own. She'd slipped on numerous flat surfaces over the years, and well past the awkward teenage stage of life at that. By Merlin's beard, she was nearly 30 now. Shouldn't she be gaining some extra wisdom? Preferably about the male gender? He'd stopped blushing now, she noted, and was almost sad to see it go. It looked sort of... cute. She'd always thought that when particularly pale people blushed. Her own skin was too dark for any redness to be very visible, unless it was makeup, and she didn't wear much of that. When was the last time she'd even worn any? Germaine felt like she should know, as a grown woman, but she didn't.
"Slytherin, then?" she guessed, well more assumed, since he was talking about the dungeons and only one house was situated there. "I'm so pleased I left a lasting impression." she said wryly. Even now the smell of vinegar was enough to make her cringe. Sometimes she didn't regret having graduated Hogwarts. She was still there, after all. Had never really left. "Professors aren't easy to have as parents," she agreed. "I think I was a learning experience for them. Only child and all. I was probably spoiled rotten, looking back." Her parents had been older than most when they had her, and university positions paid well. She hadn't lived among riches, but they'd made sure whatever she wanted, she eventually got. Luckily she'd been too oblivious to notice it.
His parents were perfectionists? In what ways? High expectations? Hers had always wanted her to be a professor, but she'd much rather be managing a library than teaching classes. The students would be running circles around her. At least in the library she mostly got the quiet, well mannered ones. Mostly.
"That's a good kind of distraction, then," she said decidedly, and thought she heard footsteps but didn't turn to look. It just meant there was some other life in this book shop, which was probably a good thing. She straightened up as he turned to her, because she'd been unconsciously slouching a bit. Her grip on her book tightened a little as he tentatively broached a question, and her smile was instantaneous. A date? Was this a date? Ohgoodnesswhatifthiswasadate? No. Germaine, calm down. He is not interested anything other than a friendly chat over tea. This is not a date.
Still, something inside her was jumping for joy, and she nodded vigorously. "That sounds... I mean... Yes. Yes I would like that very much." she finally got out, and backed up a few paces, still smiling a terribly dorky smile, and distractedly counted out the correct sum for the book she had intended to buy all along, leaving it on the counter almost in a daze. She put the book in her bag. "Ready." You sound like such a weirdo..... Shut up.
Without LIBRARIANS, what do we HAVE? No PAST and no FUTURE.
((exit to Lotus Tea Shop?))
You're GONE AWAY
I WATCHED you DISAPPEAR
ALL that's LEFT is the GHOST of YOU
Now we're TORN APART There's NOTHING we can DO
Just LET me GO we'll MEET again SOON
Now WAIT for ME, please HANG AROUND
I'll SEE you when I FALL ASLEEP

I got a lot of things I have to do
All these distractions
Our futures coming soon
We're being pulled a hundred different directions
But whatever happens I know I've got you
❇ Mood : Tired
❇ Thinking : How in Merlin’s beard am I gonna fix this?
❇ Doing : Putting the books back, failed, and is now sitting down
❇ Where : Obscurus Books
❇ With : No one
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Fishing out his glasses carefully from his pocket, Xavier wiped the lens with the end of his shirt, putting it on after finished wiping it cleanly. He stood in front of one of the bookstores in Diagon Alley: Obscurus Books. Xanthus, his father, always said that he shouldn’t always buy from Flourish and Blotts, and that he try Whizz Hard Books and Obscurus too. Thinking that he should try the latter, he wandered around Diagon Alley until herE he was. Standing ahead of the store. Finally remembering that he was gonna buy more books, he pushed the door open and walked inside, already blinking at the number of books the store had. The bookshelves contained books of various sizes, and as he walked around more, he realized that the books were stacked according to their… uhh, category? Shrugging his shoulders, the Gryffindor roamed around some more, stopping a few times to check a book he found interesting (and maybe some books he would give to Lyre in case they bump into each other today).
A couple of minutes passed and now the male had Common Magical Ailments and Afflictions, Cram It!: How to Soar on Your O.W.L.s, Frankenstein, and Great Wizards of the Twentieth Century on his arms. Bumping into a desk with some piles of books, he muttered an apology, then placed the four books he was carrying down. Feeling his shoulders aching, he tried to loosen it by rolling it, only to regret his decision. His elbow hit a set of books, which sent some falling, and others flying. “Uh-ohhh.“ Rushing over to pick up the fallen books, he ended up knocking other stacked ones. ”No-no-no-no-no–oof!” Chasing over one book—which was miraculously rolling on the floor—his foot got caught up on yet another stack of books. So, yeah, he fell on his face with books all around him. Sitting up, he rubbed his nose and heaved a sigh. ”Well, obviously I only make things messier. So I guess I’ll just wait here and not move,” he decided, sighing again.
You're in my mind your in my heart
It doesn't matter where we are
It'll be alright
Even if we're miles apart
Oᴜᴛ Oғ Cʜᴀᴍᴘᴀɢɴᴇ:

ღI've been awake for a while nowღYou've got me feelin' like a child nowღ
ღ'Cause every time I see your bubbly faceღI get the tingles in a silly placeღ
ღThe rain is falling on my window paneღBut we are hiding in a safer placeღ
ღUnder covers staying safe and warmღYou give me feelings that I adoreღ
Lyre walked up the street, eyes wide. She glanced at Obscurus, just in time to see a huge tower of books tumble to the floor. The teen hurried in and sank to her knees, quickly picking up the books and carefully returning them to the table, using her skill at playing Jenga to correctly stack them. After she had finished, she looked at the person who had knocked them down, ready to tell them off, but they were sitting in the floor, looking rather upset. A small smile graced her face, then the young lady carefully sat on the floor beside him, then lay her cheek against his shoulder. "You know," she started, her voice quiet. "I'm supposed to be the adorably clumsy one in this relationship." She looked up at Xavier, smiling a bit bigger. Her bright eyes were full of happiness at this unexpected meeting, which she may or may not have been secretly dreaming of all summer. She leaned over a bit and kissed his cheek, then swiped his glasses. Her nimble fingers scrubbed the lenses against her skirt, then slid them back on the boy's face. "There now. Are you okay?"

We're being pulled a hundred different directions
But whatever happens I know I've got you
❇ Mood : Dorky?
❇ Thinking : How I love this girl beside me right now so much
❇ Doing : Nothing much
❇ Where : Obscurus Books
❇ With : Lyre
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX He could only hear his steady breathing and footsteps of the people on the streets; that’s how quiet Obscurus Books became after the continuously sound of the books hitting the floor. Shifting his legs so he ended up on an Indian-sit position, Xavier placed his elbow near his knee and rested his chin on his palm. Dust nearly covered him, and even though he wanted to brush the it off, he didn’t. Because he might cause another series of books to fall when he tried to. Looking at the mess he made, it earned a frown from the fifth year.
Just as he was about to pick a copy of Romeo and Juliet, the door flew open and a silhouette entered, rather hurriedly, sank to his/her knees, and started picking up the fallen books and stacking them back to their proper place. Xavier blinked rapidly through the dust fogging up his vision. Wiping his glasses a bit, he finally saw who entered. Red hair. Bright violet eyes. ”Lyre…” He breathed, a smile already forming on his lips. Blue eyes fell on the cupcake necklace hanging on her neck. It was his gift. It made his smile wider, and even made heat rise to his cheeks.
Then she smiled. Only then did he knew that she finally found out who caused a wreck to Obscurus. Then she sat beside him and laid her cheek on his shoulder. Then said that she was supposed to be the one clumsy in their relationship. “W-well, we could take turns,“ he flushed, smiling sheepishly at her. Then violet eyes clashed with blue as they looked at each other. Then he felt her lips on his cheek, and he reddened another layer. His heart skipping a beat, he planted a soft, quick, chaste kiss on her lips. He grinned dorkily again. Then in a gentle movement, his glasses were on her hands, and she was rubbing the lens against her skirt. He wondered if she would get mad since his glasses were just so… dirty at the time. His lips parted, but before he could say a word, his glasses were already sliding back on his face. ”Mhm,” he nodded. ”I can see you better now. You’ve become prettier since the last time I saw you,” he added, smiling sincerely. ”Besides, knowing that you’re here beside me right now just made everything better.”
You're in my mind your in my heart

Lyre grinned at Xavier's suggestion to share being clumsy. "As long as I don't have to be coordinated, because I just don't think I can." She giggled lightly, eyes bright. After his glasses were clean, the boy complimented her, making her cheeks turn rosy. "No different from last time we saw each other, except... oh!" she pulled her hair back, showing her ears, which looked to be a pinkish-red color at the bottom. "I got my ears pierced last week! Isn't that neat!" She grinned again, then snuggled back against Xavier's arm. After a few seconds, she stood carefully, offering out a hand to the boy. "Let's get out of the floor, okay? I was wanting to look around in here anyway!" She didn't mention the books she had previously purchased at the other shop down the street, but figured it was always nice to browse bookstores, particularly in company of such a charming young man as she had.

❇ Mood : Honest and Curious
❇ Thinking : Hmmm, what if I ask Lyre the whole plot of it, in case she already read it…
❇ Doing : Reading
❇ Where : Obscurus Books
❇ With : Lyre
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ”Deal,” Xavier grinned, his eyes doing the same. She’s so cute… He couldn’t help but think as she blushed from his compliment. Though when she said that she was no different from the last time they say each other, his brows shot up as his eyes widened. ”No different?” He blinked again before continuing, ”Lyre, you are the most beautiful girl in the whole wide world. You become more and more attractive every time I see you,” he admitted, looking at her eyes. But her little ‘oh!’ caught him off guard. He almost knocked another tower of books. Then he grinned sheepishly again as he looked back at her, just enough time to see her ear. ”Woaaaaah. It looks like it hurt… big time…
“But it’s still pretty wicked,” he added grinning back at her. Then they sat there for… gods, for how long, he didn’t really know. It was just minutes, but it seemed like hours. Having her beside him, it just has an effect on him. Like time slowed down a million times. Then, he felt her move up. He looked up and saw her, her hand outstretched. ”Sure,” he answered as he took her hand and stood up.
“Say, do you know Romeo and Juliet?“ He asked as he picked up the copy he had found before, inspecting it, his blue eyes filled with curiosity. ”Probably romance, right?” he asked, not looking up. ”I wonder if it’s good…” He pushed his glasses up his nose once more before opening the book. Then he started to read the first page. He looked up from the book and gave another smile to Lyre.

Lyre blushed at Xavier's compliment, honestly caught off guard. "I'm not anything extraordinary. I'm just plain old me. Though, I must admit, it feels nice to have you say such a sweet thing about me." She tucked her hair behind her ears, smiling brightly. "It hurt a little, but it's okay now. I have a few months before I'm supposed to try changing them, though." She nodded, a bright smile on her face.
After they stood, he asked about a certain play that piqued his interest, she grinned. "I do happen to know the play. It was written as a comedy by William Shakespeare. He wrote it to tease the supposed 'love' of naive people such as the two fools, Romeo and Juliet. Their families, the Capulets and Montagues hated each other, and, as you can guess, didn't want Romeo and Juliet to have anything to do with each other. So, they tried to be secret about it and failed. It resulted in six, I believe, deaths and many tragedies. It's quite an exciting read... provided you're good with Shakespearean English." Her voice picked up speed part way through her synopsis of the play, showing clear excitement in the topic. She noticed Xavier reading a bit, so she bounced on her toes, hoping he'd find the same love of Shakespearean literature as she herself heralded.

 Gardenia sat in the backroom, searching her way through the mountains of books that surrounded her. She had owned this store for a few months now and had loved every minute of it but there was a bad side to it, as with everything. She knew nothing about running a store, or keeping tidy for that matter. The store of always heaped with piles of books in every direction. Or at least it seemed that way to her. It was getting a tad ridiculous. Also here in this store her clutzy side tended to come out. She had tripped so many times it wasn't even remotely funny. She pushed aside another stack of book, looking for an order that someone had order the day before. She sighed a blew a hair from her face. Just as she was about to give up she heard the familiar sound of the bell, signaling someone had entered the shop. She quickly picked up another stack of books that needed to be shelved later and headed out into the heart of her store. There before her was a young man, maybe five or six years her junior. She smiled politely at him trying to absorb the words he had spoken before she had entered. She walked toward the counter, trying to put the books down but before she even had a chance her foot caught on an uneven part of the wooden floor. She began to tumble, she caught herself easily enough but the books did not have the same fate. Instead the entire stack crashed to the floor with a loud bang. Old habits die hard. She looked at the books for a moment then back at the man. "Hi, I'm Gardenia" She said, stretching out the now free hand, pretending if books just happen to end up on the floor everyday. Which here they kind of did.

 Alasdair Douglas Findlay
Twenty-One~Muggleborn
 Alasdair looked around for a few moments before he heard footsteps coming from the back of the shop. Perking up, he craned his neck to see who was approaching. The woman looked nice, and he smiled. It didn't seem like she would be an evil boss, assuming he got the job. He almost asked if she needed help carrying the books, but then they fell to the floor and a hand was presented to him. He grinned and shook her hand, glancing at the books. "Hello, I'm Alasdair Findlay. I'm excited to be here," he said anxiously, eventually letting go and turning to look back at the books. He bent to pick them up, which was a bit awkward logistically, but he stood back up with the stack in his hands. "So, uh, I was wondering if I could interview for an assistant position here, if you're hiring? I love books and I have no life that gets in the way," he said sheepishly.    Wearing |

Luke wandered the aisles of the bookstore, trying to figure out which ones he would need for classes. Now that OWLs were over with, he had to find which books his new classes were using. Which left him curious as to how they would be. He eyed the defensive books, thinking they would be useful against certain members of his own family. That, and he needed to pick up some more texts on muggles. Being eleven years out of date with muggle technology had shown to the former orphan, and he needed to really study it.
He passed by the muggle works and frowned, looking at the titles. Many he had never read before, and Luke found himself suddenly wanting to. Taking one of the books, he settled himself in to gloss it over before deciding to buy it. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn seemed interesting enough to the redhead, and well, it couldn't be too bad, could it? Soon he was engrossed in tales of a young boy who seemed to cause mischief wherever he turned, and Luke couldn't help but chuckle. This kid seemed a lot like him, right down to the fact he even got caught often enough to be in real trouble. He was going to have to get this book for sure.
