Closed A Peaceful Place to Be

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Thomas was usually in the common room or in the garden, but he decided to have a change of scenery. The boy had decided to spend a bit of his time in the library for a change. He had only been in the library a few times, but the few times he had been in the library, he had enjoyed the peace. Thomas sat at one of the the tables, a few study materials for upcoming classes as well as his doodle notebook that he usually brought with him everywhere. He of course brought his black cat, Pepper with him. He usually took his best pal with him wherever he went. Thomas was doodling away in his doodle book, his studies completely forgotten, surely he'd focus on that soon, unaware of his cat pitter-patting away from him.

 

[Cyrus Thorne]

Cyrus knew that he had to try a little harder to be social this year. The shock on Ruth's face when he had told her he hadn't really made close friends yet had been kind of embarrassing, and he knew it was something he needed to work on. So when he had to find a spot to sit in the library, he decided to head to the table one of his classmates was sitting at. It wasn't someone he knew well, but he knew Thomas was a Hufflepuff. Cyrus headed to his table, surprised when he felt something right before his feet. He glance down, saw something furry, and tried to move out of the way before stepped on the animal. The sudden movement made him trip over his own feet and Cyrus yelped in pain as he fell onto the ground, dropping his books in front of him. "Ouch." He groaned.

 

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Thomas had been so focused on his doodling that he hadn't realised that Pepper had wandered off somehow. His focus had been cut off by the sound of a yelp and books being tumbled over. He looked over towards where the sound was coming from and saw someone had fallen onto the ground, recognising that it was one of his classmates, Cyrus. He didn't really know the boy well enough, but he had seen him around in classes as such. Thomas then saw Pepper had been nearby, realising that maybe it had been Pepper's doing. Thomas got out of his seat and headed towards the boy. "A-are you okay?" Thomas stuttered out softly. It may have been a stupid question to ask, but he hoped Cyrus was okay. He then started to help pick up a couple of books that fell in front of him.

 

[Cyrus Thorne]

Cyrus immediately realized he hadn't actually hurt himself that bad, everything seemed to be in place. Great, it was just his ego that got bruised. Though he might have some bruises on his knees later. He sat up and rubbed his face, trying to orient himself. He looked up as Thomas approached him, shooting him a nervous smile. "Uh, I'm fine. Was that a cat?" He asked, looking around and wondering what an animal was doing in the library. He slowly got to his feet. "Oh, thanks." He muttered as the boy picked up his books.
