Suspicious? Of Course Not!

[Lucinda Dalton]

Having just finished eating dinner, Lucy, dressed in conspicuosly dark colours, made her way to the Library, in order to meet with Landon. Tonight, the pair of them were going to be breaking in to the Restricted Section. Smiling, Lucy twiddled her wand in her hands, as she walked through the shelves, looking at some books on History of Magic, perhaps her favourite subject as it required the least amount of magical skill. Tonight would hopefully be memorable. Whether it would be in a good way or a bad way remained to be seen, but Lucy sure hoped it was the former.

Landon walked proudly into the library.
He decided that by acting as though he was here purely to learn- which, in a sense, he was- he would seem less suspicious.
Landon had chosen a pair of his darkest blue jeans, the worlds dullest grey t-shirt and his black shoes.
He checked his wand was still in his back pocket. It was.
He smiled as he noticed Lucy was already in the library.
Great, he thought to himself, flashing her an excited smile and walking to join her, she hasn't stood me up.. Always a good sign.
"Hello," Landon whispered, pushing books aside and standing the other side of the shelf.
He didn't want to show that any of it was planned. Landon had thought it through and surely you would get in more trouble for something planned- something with evidence of planning- rather than something randomly happening.

Looking through the shelf to see Landon, Lucy beamed. "Fancy seeing you here!" she whispered, perhaps a little too conspicuous and excitable for her own good. Coughing, Lucy sobered up a little. Looking down at the book she was reading, Lucy shook her head, fascinated. "I had no idea that Morgana La Fey was a real person," she whispered, awed - before realising who she was talking to. Landon had wizarding heritage, he probably thought she sounded stupid for saying something like that. Blushing, she looked away. "Um, yeah," she muttered, putting the book away and walking around the other side of the shelf, to stand next to him.

Landon smiled, his forehead creasing slightly as his hair seemed to move back half a centimeter to make room for his broad grin.
"I didn't know a lot of things about wizarding history- Which is incredibly embarrassing." Landon gave Lucy a lopsided smile.
He looked her up and down and noticed she had chosen to wear dark clothing.
"You look.. nice." Landon said awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck for something to do.
He swiftly changed subject.
"The library should be closing soon.. come on.." He grabbed hold of Lucy's arm and moved quickly to one corner of the library, pressing himself into the shelves.

"I didn't know a lot either," Lucy winked. "Still don't." She still had six years to go here, though. She knew she would learn a lot in her time here. She already had learnt a lot, and that wasn't all purely academic. Six years was a long time. She wondered what sort of person she'd be by the time she was eighteen. "Thanks," she replied, with a blush. "You look pretty good too. Hardly suspicious," she breathed, winking at Landon. She followed him to the corner of the library, hiding between the shelves and staying close to Landon. One thing was for sure, she didn't want him to run off and get her in to trouble, or something. Although Lucy didn't think Landon would ever do anything of the sort. She had learnt the folly of blind trust with the Gossip Magazine debarcle, but she had a good feeling about Landon. She knew she could trust him. But she was going to stick close to him anyway. She didn't really want to be alone in here.
