* In search of 'it' -- OPEN

[shanice]

Her eyes flickered open, although everything in front of her was still blurry. Using her hands she rubbed her eyes, causing her to see slightly better than before. She got up scratching the back of her head, slipping her robe on. She looked out the window to determine the time, probably around one or two o'clock. She tightened her robe, opening the door and closing it, making sure she didn't wake up anyone else up from their sleep, she would get shouted at.

Grabbing a lantern, she lite it and walked out of the common room. There was a laugh, looking up she saw peeves, rolling her eyes she just carried on walking. 'Don't let him have the satisfaction.' She thought to herself ignoring him and carried on her way toward the library. Soon arriving at her destination, a smirk appeared on her face. It was rather dark actually, walking over to the restricted section, she kept her ears open in case anyone followed her in. Gently she opened the door to the section, walking in slowly. She looked through all the books, looking for a certain one.

[samwhatitdo]

Samantha couldn't quite get to sleep that night, and she had no idea why. She needed her beauty sleep, that much she knew. That's why this predicament was annoying her greatly. Deciding that it would be completely useless to just lie in bed until morning, with her icy blue eyes staring at the ceiling hopelessly, she decided to head to the library for some light reading. She always loved to read, and what would be the harm in that?

Slipping on her own dark colored robe, pulling her hood over it, she silently slipped out of her dorm, then out of her common room. She wasn't in the mood in dealing with waking anyone up and having to deal with their stupidity.

She soon reached her destination, keeping her steps light in case any of the teachers were out. She had really good excuses for if she was caught, though. She slowly took out her wand, about to use the lumos spell, when she spotted another source of light, coming from not far away. She held her breath and made silent steps toward the area to investigate. It looked like it was coming from the restricted section. Restricted..

She peeked her head around a shelf, spotting the culprit silhouetted by the light from her lantern. What a fool... Sam thought to herself with a roll of her eyes. She stepped out from behind the shelf, clearing her throat obnoxiously to get the girls attention, "Excuse me? What do you think you're doing?" she asked rudely.

[shanice]

Hearing the sound of someone clear their throat, she didn't flinch, carried on looking through the shelves. Then she heard speaking, Shanice was tired and couldn't be dealing with his. When the girl asked her what she was doing, she snickered. "Having a cup of tea." She replied to the girl.

That was probably the stupidest thing someone could ask. When you come across someone in the restricted section, looking through the shelfs, it of course meant that person is up to no good, or possibly looking for something. Shanice smirked, not finding what she wanted on that side, so walked to the other side.

She did the same thing, ran her hand across the covers, looking at the titles. She huffed for a moment, she couldn't find it. Then she thought she saw it but it wasn't. She placed her lantern down on the side and looked closely at the shelfs, along with the books.

[samwhatitdo]

Samantha's eyes narrowed at the girls response. Oh, was that sarcasm? Oh no you didn't, she thought to herself, immediately putting this girl, whoever she was, on her 'hate' list, "Oh, well in that case, could I join you?" she replied sarcastically, taking some more steps closer to the entrance to the restricted section.

She couldn't believe the nerve of this girl as she continued scanning the shelves, as if oblivious to her surroundings. She stood there for a moment, slightly amused yet annoyed, as she let her continue her searching. You have got to be kidding me.. she thought to herself with a roll of her eyes.

"Well, apparently whatever you're looking for isn't there, and it is the restricted section," she snarled, putting emphasis on the word 'restricted', "So I think it would be best if you left now," she added, giving the girl an evil smirk in the darkness. She felt like one of those teachers pets who liked to get other students in trouble, while she was hypocritical to do the same things herself and not care. That was jut who she was.

[shanice]

"No sorry, you can't join me, you would eat all the cake and just get fatter." She added, insulting her. Then she saw the book she needed. Walking over she pulled it off the shelf looking at the cover, just what she needed. A smirk played on her lips as she opened it, looking at the old brown pages.

She closed the book and looked up at the girl. A ravenclaw? This girl would think she was older than Shanice, since she looked like a fifteen year old, mostly because of her height, even though Shanice wasn't suppose to be here, normally she wouldn't, she just wanted this book.

She smirked a bit, "Oh wow, you've just made it clear to me that you can read signs?!" She reacted, adding sarcasm into her voice. Of course she had found what she was looking for now, she had it in her hand. She held tightly onto the book with both hands though. "Besides, i think i shall stay longer and read this book." She added on walking past the girl.

She sat on the edge were her lantern was, opening the book reading through the pages, being careful not to tear pages or anything. Even though it was battered enough to be mistaken as rubbish, still it was probably because it was a rather old book.

[OOC: Have Permission from Shanice to join. ]

"Oh no you won't little missy." Said an echoing voice from the darkness. Ligasto had been in search of something himself in the library when he had encountered these two children. The echoing footsteps emerged out of the darkness along with it bringing a body and a face. Ligasto was a teacher who had enforced the rules at all times. The only exclusion would be if it were a life or death situation. In this case it was neither. It was way past curfew for student even for prefects of the school. It was unexpected that Ligasto had found two students here who both were prefects and had a reputation to live up to as they were the student body of Hogwarts and what they do is reflected upon the school. " Two prefects out of bed past curfew time, what is the world coming to?" he asked in a sarcastic voice with his wand lit up right to their faces.

"May I ask why you two are out of bed? and not sleeping?" asked Ligasto still with a sarcastic voice. He took a step back and lowered his wand so that their faces were visible. "Lets see what we have here. A Puffer and a Claw." He said as he referred to their houses in shorter form. He glared at the both of them and gave a dirty look at them as if they were rubbish or a rat living in Hogwarts. A look of disgust. "Won't this look bad in your school profile. Two prefects out of bed past curfew." He said with an evil smirk on his face and with eyes that still glared. " Minus 20 house points from each house." He said not allowing the students to leave until explaining to him why they were there in the first place. He took a few steps around them to block to exit in case they decided to do a run for it in which would of been futile as he had already remembered their faces.

[fine with me =] ]

Samantha had to use all the self control she had to not whip her wand out right then and there and curse this snotty girl into oblivion. No one insulted Samantha Lichtscheidl. No one. Instead, Sam composed herself and kept her cool, not even responding to the insult, though still slightly shocked she even had the nerve to say that.

Now she was definitely on her 'hate' list.

Well, it seemed like this girl had found the book she had been searching for. What a shame. Stay calm.. deep breaths she thought to herself when she used sarcasm on her yet again. Oh wow, she really was hitting a nerve. She really needed to learn her place. Slowly, she began reaching her hand into her robe pocket to pull out her wand, but right when her hand grasped the smooth wood, she heard a much older voice. Crap..

She didn't move her hand from her wand as she glanced to see a professor appear from the darkness. Oh and he was not a favorite of hers, right off the bat. Wow, it just got old in here, she thought to herself, trying to smile warmly to give off a good impression to the teacher. Yet he was glaring at them like they were.. they were.. ugh, there wasn't words that could describe...

Samantha couldn't help but shoot a glare at the stupid "puffer" who had gotten them in this situation in the first place. Samantha never got in trouble. She put on her sweetest face and used her most polite voice as she spoke, "Well, you see, professor, I was using the restroom when I spotted her out and about," Sam began sweetly. Yes, she had lied to a teacher. Pretending to have been out using the Prefects' bathroom, "so I was wondering if she was up to no good, and I followed her in here. You see, I tried to get her to stop, but she obviously doesn't like to listen to anyone but herself," Sam finished, not even turning to glance at the girl.

Wow, it just got old in here

[ooc: MAN THAT SO FUNNY!]

The young ladies echoing voice caused Ligastio to pay attention to the young girl who was talking. He looked at her in a curious way trying to detect any sign of lies upon her face. Ligasto had not known this student very well and was not able to scan whether or not she had been fibbing. Ligasto took into account of what she had said and with this rolled his eyes with a smirk and said as he started to frown more" Little girl," Ligasto said in a high pitch girl voice. "Your sweetness won't work with me" He screamed as his echoing voice ricocheted around the library and faded into nothingness. His voice climaxed into anger as he started straight into the young ladies eye's. "Next time I advise you to use the bathrooms and return to bed and nothing more." He said his normal furious tone as always.

"Understood?" He said before directing his attention to the other girl. " And what about you?" he asked emphasizing the word you. "What's your pity, futile excuse to why you are out of bed?" he asked pointing his lit up wand to her face which could of blinded her thus Ligasto had dimmed his light slightly so that she had not been blinded. Before she was even given the chance to answer Ligasto had already started to think of what to do next. These girl's are distracting me from what I am meant to be looking for. Just get there names after this girls excuse and give a detention and leave. yes I'll do that. he said to him self before taking a glimpse as the Claw girl. " What are your names?" he asked as an order which sounded like a military scream. " Quick quick! now little ladies!" he ordered again with his voice bouncing of the walls like a balloon gone mad.

So, the fact that this fake ravenclaw had decided that she was going to attempt to scramble out of trouble, out of all fairness though, Shanice couldn't care less, both of them were prefects, and Shanice hadn't been in trouble since her first year, mostly for something different. Shanice didn't bother with lying about anything she was an honest person. "Out of honesty professor, i snack out of my common room to come to the library, and went into the restricted section." Shanice replied turning her head to the side sightly.

He seemed like he wanted to go do what he was doing, which Shanice had nothing against. "Shanice Abercrombie." She spoke. Ah, so this ravenclaw girl wasn't all she seemed, she looked at the book that was in her hand, nothing much, just things on certain dangerous plants. She wanted to know about plants no one else knew about, so it would look like she was a smart person, which was hiding her true identity.

[samwhatitdo]

Samantha couldn't help but frown at this teacher. Whoa.., she thought to herself as she watched his anger rise. He really must not have been in a good mood today. Or maybe he was like that all the time? Who knew. The fact that her "sweetness" didn't seem to be working with him was rather depressing.

She would stick to her story, sure, but she hoped she better not be getting detention for this. She was a bit surprised that the other girl, Shanice as she said her name was, had actually told the truth. Hey, maybe she lied about her name. Now she decided to play the guilt card.

"Yes, sir," she muttered as she looked down at the ground with a saddened expression, "So very sorry, it won't happen again," she added in a small voice. Perhaps he would pity her? He seemed to be in a hurry, so Sam didn't want to slow him down any more than she already was. She was probably on his own 'hate' list. Everyone had 'hate' lists, right? "Samantha Lichtscheidl," she replied, still staring at her feet and using a small, guilty sounding voice.

"Return to your dormitories immediately!" Ligasto ordered as lowered his and wand and looked at each of them. For now Ligasto let the two go with only house point deductions. " Go go go!" Ligasto said as he glared the two down. He had been searching for something himself and did not want to be distracted by two little girls. " I warn you." He said as he took a step closer toward them. So close that their nose's almost seem to have touched. It was rather awkward and disturbing.

" If I ever catch you out of bed you shall both do detention for me. Do you understand?" He spoke with a stern voice and kept eye contact with the two girls with out even blinking. "Yes as of you Shanice." he said as he paid his attention toward her for now. " Search for what you need with an explanation from a professor. Understood and miss Samantha I admire your honesty as well as your Shanice but you two must go now!" He said trying to get them away by being slightly nice. He had to continue with his search for a book and didn't two girls stopping him.

[samwhatitdo]

Samantha couldn't help but jump slightly. This man really had a temper, she could tell. Maybe he was beaten as a child or something. She couldn't help but take a step backward as the man seemed to get closer and closer to her. She could feel his breath on her face and it was quite disturbing.

Well, so far it seemed like neither one of them got detention, which was good. For her. She was disappointed the other girl didn't, though. Was he going to let her keep that book she got from the restricted section? He probably was.. What, was he bipolar or something? He seemed to all of the sudden become slightly nicer there, near the end.

Afraid he may whip his wand out and curse them if they didn't leave this very instant, Sam turned on her heels and hurried off without another word. She didn't even care to glance at the Shanice girl again.
