The Cure for Boredom

[Tian Lund]

Tian Lund was bored, there was no two ways about it. He had tried almost anything to relieve the mind-numbing boredom. He had walked around the grounds, talked to a few friends on the way, heck he had even tried studying before throwing the books across the room for almost putting him to sleep. None of it seemed to matter and it was driving him crazy. Exhaling heavily Tian leant back in his chair and rubbed his hands over his face pressing until the red under his closed eyelids turned black, he held the position for a few moments before moving his hands to muss up his hair and then dropped them back the desk. It was drawing ever closer to Christmas Tian was looking forward to it, his house was always hectic over break and it definitely put a halt on the boredom he often experienced while at Durmstrang. Looking around the library he looked for his brother Elias, he always had a good idea to cure Tian's boredom - usually by the pair of them conspiring to get up to mischief - but still, fun was fun. Not seeing him Tian swore quietly to himself and pulled a piece of parchment out from his rumbled books that he had hastily picked up after throwing them and scribbled a note to his brother.​

Elias,
Help I'm bored send help!
~Tian

Tapping a younger student on the shoulder Tian held out this peice of parchment and a few galleons he had fished out of his pocket, "Hey kid, deliver this to Elias Lund for me will ya?" he grinned and he watched as the kid scurried off. Sighing Tian threw himself back into his chair and rested his elbow on the table leaning against his hand, eyes drooping. 'Elias better get her fast before I fall asleep.' he thought whilst yawning.​

 

[Elias Lund]

Christmas was easily the busiest part of year for both Elias and his entire family. Not only because their home was a mad house at the best of times, but because Elias was so pretentious and particular in his ways, that he could not feel relaxed around the holidays no matter how much he tried. He was constantly making lists, both of possible gift recipients and gifts for said recipients and even snacks he could make to put his family in the festive spirit before that all important christmas day arrived. That day was more stressful for Elias than any other day that week as he had lost one of his lists and searched for it in his dorm and the common room to no avail. He was sure he would have driven himself insane with worry over the piece of parchment, if he wasn't interrupted while upturning every cushion in the common room by a younger student giving him a note from his brother, Tian.

Elias immediately stopped his search, leaving the cushions behind in a pile as he ventured to the library where he assumed Tian would be. His assumptions were fortunately correct and Elias immediately approached his brother after spotting him at one of the tables, not bothering to sit down with him as he had a feeling they would soon be walking somewhere else. "I bring you help, sire." Elias said, sounding unintentionally sarcastic as he stared at his brother, wondering where this would lead as Tian's boredom lead them into troublesome situations more often than it lead them to good ones.​
