Seahorse Campfire [Wednesday Evening]

It's been a good day.

He's been having a few of those lately and he's not one to ignore good days. He knows they can evaporate quickly and without warning.

So, he's enjoying the warm day outside. There's a cup of tea near his elbow and a smile on his face.

[Hey, open post!]

Hermione hasn't seen Cedric lately, so when she sees him while walking, she decides to stop by, at least for a little while. "Hi," she says.

"Hermione," he says, smiling up at her. "How are you? You've been scarce lately."

[smartestone]

"I've been around," she says. "Just not nearby. The library, mostly."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"The library?" He smiles and tilts his head. "I'm not surprised. How is this school's library?"

[smartestone]

"It's good," she says, maybe a bit enthusiastically. "It's a really thorough selection and they have so many different subjects. Special Collections had a genie."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"A book on genies?" Cedric asks, sure he'd heard that incorrectly.

[smartestone]

"No, there were books, and there was a genie. Two very different things," she corrects.

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"A genie?" Cedric makes a face. "What was he doing in the library?"

[smartestone]

"Giving out wishes?" she answers. "And manicures, though that was very odd."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Hogwarts didn't have a genie, did it?"

[smartestone]

"Not as far as I know, but I was only there for four years," she says, considering this.

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Ah. So, what do you think?"

[smartestone]

"Of Special Collections? Interesting," she says. "It has a better selection than the rest of the library, but the downside of having the walls trying to crush us."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"No, not of Special Collections," he says. "Fandom High. As compared to Hogwarts."

[smartestone]

"Oh," she says, visibly shaking her head a little to get herself off the subject of the library. "I like it, actually. There are some differences, but not enough to make it uncomfortable. Do you like it here?"

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"I do," he answers simply. "It's...different, of course. But, thus far, I've found the difference enjoyable and challenging."

[smartestone]

"I'm not used to being able to tell Muggles anthing about Hogwarts," she says thoughfully. "They don't even find it strange. Of course, that might be because Rita Skeeter was turning students into animals for a while before we got here..."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I was actually reluctant to reveal anything about Hogwarts until hearing of some of the odd things that have occurred," he says. "Some people, though, have enjoyed hearing about Hogwarts and magic."

[smartestone]

"Like who?" she asks. "Maybe we're talking to the same people."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Oh, several people," he says vaguely. "Some people in my cabin, some people from the fourth floor. Anyone specific you think we've both been talking to?"

[smartestone]

"Mostly Willow," she says. "Have you met her yet?"

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"I have," he answers. "She borrowed one of my ties!"

[smartestone]

She smiles. "Why?" she asks.

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Because I put wore her lip gloss in the common room," he says. "I agreed to do that and she agreed to wear one of my ties."

[smartestone]

The smile grows wider. "You wore her lip gloss? Again, I think I have to ask why."
