Closed Hiding in the aisles.

[Hugo Stark-West]

Hugo had never imagained that over the break he recieved not only his class list and time table but also a badge and a letter appointing him as head boy. he honestly wasnt sure how or why he would have been chosen. it was never something he had thought about but if he had done he would have thought fraiser would have been the person selected. he was charismatic; people liked Fraiser. whereas he, well, he wasn't unpopular, but he was not a fan of the spotlight and much prefered being somewhere behind the scenes. so once school went back he easily found himself in the peace of the library. his home in the castle even more so than the monthly offices. He didnt really have much homework this early in the semester. he just wanted to be in the peace of the room and after the break where he had read through a good many books he actually didnt feel like reading, instead, he made his way to one of the return trollies, picked up a handful of books and headed to the aisles.

 

[Teddy Pirrip]

Teddy had taken it easy during the first few days back at Hogwarts but now, with homework already mounting because of his full timetable, he had to return to the library. He was a bit sick of the place after OWLs last year, so he told himself this would be quick, find the textbook he needed, then head back to the common room. This was meant to be his relaxed year after all and give him a breather before NEWTs next year. The thought that next year would be his seventh and his last at Hogwarts crept into his mind as he arrived in the library. His thoughts then drifted, as they often did, to Elio, and more specifically his HM article that had called for Teddy as head boy. It was flattering, sure, but it still felt a long way off. For now, the new head boy and girl were just starting their tenure. He wasn’t too keen on June, but he liked Hugo and he had been genuinely happy when he’d heard he’d been given a badge. He was just turning into the aisle he needed when he saw Hugo right in front of him. “Oh hey! I was just thinking about you,” Teddy blurted out before thinking about how that sounded, immediately frowning and feeling weird. “Not like, okay, that sounded weird." He took a breath to reset, "I mean I was thinking about you getting head boy and then I saw you. Congratulations by the way!”

 

[Hugo Stark-West]

hugo turned around from putting a book back when he heard someone talk behind him. and he was suprised to see Teddy there. he knew teddy. they were prefects together. but they were in different years and different houses so had never really been closer than mere aquatences, someone who he might nod to in the halls.
He frowned slightly when teddy said he had been thinking about him. he was sure it was just him being polite but when he admitted to it sounding weird he shrugged. "Hey Teddy. That is a terrible choice of thought, I applogise for taking up the head space he said, trying to keep his expression deadpan. Once Teddy clarified, he smiled slightly at the congratulations. "Oh, umm, Thank you. i really wasnt expecting it" he said. he had assumed it would have been Fraiser. "umm, how was your holiday" he asked in a not very smooth transition to not talking about himself.
