Closed Can You See Right Through Me?

[Anisha Khatri]

It was nearing curfew and Anisha was still in the library. She knew she should go soon, but she was having fun reading and taking notes. Sometimes she wondered if she wouldn't have been a better Ravenclaw, but she did enjoy being in Gryffindor a lot. Ravenclaw seemed like it could potentially be kind of boring in comparison. After finishing her notes on a section, she sighed and closed her book. She should go. She packed up her things and started to head out of the library, only to realize there was someone else there. She stopped, watching Teddy Pirrip hunched over his books. She had never seen him like this, he always seemed to act like him getting all O's and top points was just something that happened to him. She had known that couldn't possibly be the case, but seeing the proof was still kind of strange. She wandered over to his table and tapped on the wood. "You know, curfew's in a bit." She told him conversationally. "Also, you'll hurt your back sitting like that."

 

[Teddy Pirrip]

Teddy sat hunched over his parchment, completely in the zone and trying to finish his essay. He could not say how long he'd been in the library for, one maybe two hours? He hadn't really stopped to think about it since he had to get his work done. He had a short window of time before he'd have to leave the library and he wanted to get the last bit finished.

He looked up annoyed when someone tapped on his table, he was ready to snap at them but held off when he saw it was Anisha, "Oh hey," he replied, trying to not appear flustered, "Right. Is it? I must have lost track of time." Teddy glanced at his watch, his eyebrows shooting up. He’d been there nearly three hours. Stretching his back, he winced as the tightness reminded him just how long he’d been hunched over, and that reluctantly, the head girl was right. "Oh yeah, I'm feeling it." He drawled, "Wouldn’t mind giving me a quick massage, would you?” he asked with a cheeky grin.
