In conclusion…. Aerin saw Zakir jump slightly from the corner of her eye. Weird. In conclusion, it is necessary…. Again, he shifted in his seat. Aerin ignored him once more and kept writing. In conclusion, it is necessary Zakir…. Great. She’d have to re-write this bit again now. Aerin groaned inwardly and then snapped her head up as Zakir squirmed once more. It took her only a few seconds to understand that all the trouble was Seth’s doing. Of course it was Seth.
Just as she was considering what to do, her fellow Cetus pulled at her hair. Aerin blushed a deep shade of red when she saw the paper held in front of her eyes. Reading Seth’s lips wasn’t even necessary. “Seth! Give that to me!” She hissed at the boy angrily, but he ignored her. She shot a quick glance at Zakir and was mortified to find he was looking at her. Had he seen the paper? It didn’t seem like it from his lack of reaction.
Aerin snatched at the paper, but failed to get it out of Seth’s hands. It wasn’t true anyways. If Zakir saw the paper, she’d just explain that it was Seth’s poor idea of a joke, that was all. She didn’t like Zakir. No, she didn’t. Still, she couldn’t have that paper lying around.
Any further thoughts Aerin might have had on the subject disappeared as Seth stole yet another hair tie, this time from Zakir. The Lyra’s retaliation was fierce. Aerin flinched at his words, even though for once they weren’t directed at her. “Zakir, wait! Seth was just fooling around!” He didn’t even respond. Aerin was shocked and hurt, but whether for herself or Zakir she didn’t know. She made to follow him as he walked away, even though the boy’s rage terrified her. She had never seen him this mad before.
“Have a nice day, Princess!”
Aerin froze. She watched mutely as Zakir whirled, cast the hex, and stormed off. Seth was down on the ground, hurt and laughing like a maniac, yet Aerin stood still. The second-year was completely torn. She knew they were both to blame for the current situation, but who should she go to?
The Cetus took another step towards the Reference Centre door, then spun around and ran to Seth. Kneeling by his side, she winced when she saw the effects of the hex. How was he still laughing? Even as she considered that it was probably a way to keep from crying, Aerin’s anger at the boy bubbled over. “Seriously, Seth?! Was that really necessary?” She picked up the parchment Seth had drawn on and shoved it into the pocket of her robes. “Come on. We have to get you to the infirmary.”

- Study Hall: The Bubbles — Madame Toladaeri, Librarian, Wed Mar 28 12:23Marissa Toladaeri was having a bad day. In the very early hours of the morning she had woken up from a terrible dream. She had been at the Battle of Mount Badon, where historically King Arthur... more
- When in a Library.... — Monet Olsen (Draco), Mon Apr 2 02:08Was study hall really a subject? Monet couldn’t help wondering this as she walked into the Reference Centre. What were they expected to do? Homework? Monet had got in to the habit of finishing all... more
- *smirks* — Tucker Brogren, Aquila, Sat Mar 31 17:50Tucker didn't really like study hall. First of all, he didn't really enjoy studying period. Or sitting still and being quiet. Further more, it just another time that someone was telling him to be in... more
- *grins* — Danielle Leene-Cadiver, Aquila, Sun Apr 1 20:39Danielle didn't quite know why she was here in the first place. Not here as in just Study Hall, but here as in school. She'd liked it at first but now she just plain hated the place. All they did was ... more
- *apologizes for delay* — Tucker, Wed Apr 11 06:27Tucker grinned. There was something about this girl that screamed pureblood princess. Something about how she carried herself. Not just a girly girl like Melinda, more like Alison's roommate or... more
- Such foolishness — Zakir Adir - Lyra, Thu Mar 29 14:26One of Zakir’s least favorite activities out of an admittedly long list was study hall. For such a studious child study hall should have been a boon, a free two hours twice a week to devote to his... more
- A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest man — Seth Jackson - Cetus, Thu Mar 29 17:46Study hall. It was the life sucking enemy of kids the world over. Even here, in a school dedicated to magic and mystery the evil had hooked its sleep inducing claws into the poor defenseless kidlets. ... more
- You recognizing wisdom is nonsense — Zakir, Thu Mar 29 18:29Zakir’s dark mood at having his routine altered darkened further when he saw the grinning mudblood. Somehow he’d managed to avoid the always smiling boy last term, but apparently this term he... more
- This whole conversation is nonsense — Aerin Griffiths, Cetus, Fri Mar 30 18:02Aerin flat out couldn’t cope with study hall – she was unable to sit still and do work for such a long period of time. The second-year worked best when she multitasked and took multiple short breaks... more
- And you’ll bring sense to it? *snickers* — Seth, Sat Mar 31 01:45To Seth’s absolute delight, Zakie actually looked up at his question and his fingers dipped easily into the distracted Pureblood’s pocket. Score! he thought gleefully when he fished out a pair of... more
- I highly doubt it — Zakir, Sat Mar 31 02:09Any thought of the truce was obliterated when Aerin appeared and the first words out of her mouth were “ Some people call him ZakAttack. Hey guys! How’s it going?” Her hyper voice that gave the idiot ... more
- Great. You agree on my incompetency. — Aerin, Tue Apr 3 08:33Aerin was shocked by Zakir’s harsh, cold tone. She had thought things had been going so well between them. She sat still, staring at the older boy, hardly hearing his words but taking in his body... more
- Nope, you’re just nonsensical like me! — Seth, Tue Apr 3 21:26Seth was just about to say that he hadn’t touched Zakir, and that the purebred must have imagined it, when Aerin suddenly stood up with enough force to send her chair crashing backwards. The large... more
- He and I would never agree on anything — Zakir , Wed Apr 4 06:20Zakir was glaring harshly at Seth, furious at being touched when the loud crash made his heart leap into his throat as he jolted half way out of his chair. For a moment the thunder of churning hooves ... more
- At the very least you should agree to disagree. — Aerin, Thu Apr 5 18:19Aerin wasn’t one to stay angry for long. Her attention span didn’t allow it. She was still seething when a small part of her woke up and decided it was tired of being angry. By the time she got to... more
- Well that’s no fun — Seth, Mon Apr 9 11:49Success! Seth thought gleefully as he managed to snag the hair tie while Aerin was distracted. Her apparent annoyance at the two boys seemed to fade as she laughed at his antics instead of yelling at ... more
- That would be tantamount to agreement, and thus unacceptable — Zakir, Mon Apr 9 12:10Slender dark fingers rolled up the ruined assignment. He would have to re-write it tomorrow during breakfast. Mentally he began reshuffling his work load to accommodate the unexpected as he slipped... more
- You're hopeless — Aerin, Sat Apr 14 19:01Aerin focused fiercely on her blank parchment as the inkbottle cap rolled away from her. She struggled to keep her face still as her entire being focused on Zakir’s reaction. The cap stopped. He... more
- Will you give us some hope? — Seth, Tue Apr 17 18:20Seth rolled his eyes at Aerin when she gave the stuck up Purebreed a sappy look. Why did girls go for guys like him anyway? It was crazy, Zak-a-Jerk had been nothing but mean to her every time Seth... more
- I hate you all — Zakir, Tue Apr 17 19:10He watched the cap slowly return to its proper owner when Aerin picked it up and gave him a large smile, and oddly enough thanked him. “You’re welcome.” He said, somewhat hesitantly, unsure of how to ... more
- Torn. — Aerin, Thu Apr 19 15:32
- *Duct tapes Aerin back together again* — Seth, Sat Apr 21 16:19It was difficult to catch his breath from laughing so hard, even though he could feel the sharp stabbing pain in his forehead where the Purebreed’s spell had struck. Gingerly he reached up and poked... more
- Trouble — Marissa Toladaeri, Librarian, Mon Apr 23 14:38Marissa had just finished off an order for new books when her house elf Ferby had appeared in the room distraught and trembling. As soon as the word ‘fight’ left his lips, the librarian had been on... more
- Can’t I flatter my way out of this? — Seth, Wed Apr 25 11:57Seth scowled when Aerin actually began telling the librarian what really happened… in a meandering sort of way. There were enough holes in her story that he might be able to get them out of this. It... more
- Ugh, Studying. — Oliver DiCaprio [Aquila], Wed Mar 28 16:28Oliver had not been to the library very often and had been appalled when he found out that he would be forced to spend at least an hour or so there. As a result, he was in a bad mood and disliked the ... more
- Studying is good! — Lyubov Kovalchuk (Draco), Fri Mar 30 18:34Study Hall was, in Lyubov’s opinion, one of the best times of the day. The third-year worked hard in her classes and generally finished most of her homework during class time, so Study Hall was an... more
- I beg to differ — Aoife McGuire (Cetus), Sat Mar 31 16:12Aoife wasn’t looking forward to studying. She was dreading it. For some reason Aoife found studying almost impossible. No matter how hard she tried she always got distracted by something or another... more
- What we do outside stays outside — Oliver, Mon Apr 2 11:25Oliver was delighted when two people, an older girl and his new partner-in-crime, agreed to go with him. He grinned at them both. "Yes!" he said, quietly. "It is a nice day outside. It would be a... more
- Like Fight Club? — Lyubov, Mon Apr 2 13:07Another girl at their table spoke up soon after herself, agreeing to come outside with them. Lyubov returned her smile. The more the merrier! The more she thought about it, the more going outside... more
- Exactly! — Aoife, Mon Apr 2 15:50“Looo-boff, Is that it? ”Aoife repeated the older students name to familiarise herself with it. She had a strange name herself and it was a little annoying when people spelt it wrong. The smile on... more
- Except without the fighting... — Oliver, Mon Apr 2 17:37"Loo-boff, Loo-boff. Got it. Sorry." Oliver smiled apologetically. He was sure he wasn't the only one who had ever asked her, but it was a hard name to pronounce on the first try. He was pretty happy ... more
- I'm definitely more of a peacemaker — Lyubov, Mon Apr 2 18:44She smiled and waved off Oliver's apology. "It's okay! And yes, that's how you say it," she added with a nod to Aoife. If she was American, she would have probably asked Aoife to repeat her name as... more
- Me too, after all violence is never the answer. — Aoife, Tue Apr 3 15:13Aoife liked the sound of Ukraine and decided that in the future she might visit it. She listened with a smile on her face as Lyubov described her home it really did sound lovely. Throwing her hands... more
- So what is the answer? — Oliver, Tue Apr 3 17:10Ukraine sounded like a cool place. Art everywhere would be so cool. Going to places like Long Beach where they had art festivals was cool enough, but he could hardly imagine living in a sort of... more
- The answer... is all in the question! — Lyubov, Tue Apr 3 19:42“Oh, Scribblifors!” Lyubov exclaimed. It had been a fairly easy spell to learn. She had always had a talent for Transfiguring things, and all the spells they were taught that involved a changing in... more
- It is? I appear to be having trouble locating it — Aoife, Sat Apr 7 08:43“Yes, that’s what we call them back home. We call French fries chips.” Aoife said in answer to her friend’s question. It was funny she couldn’t help but think that she still saw Ireland as home, when ... more
