In the library ((Maryn only!))

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

Rosaliz sat alone in the Library. In front of her lay her potions books and three parchments that had been torn up and flung to the ground in anger. Blankly she stared at her next roll of parchment, her homework was due soon but she couldn't even bring herself to write her name let alone write the reasons why she needed to learn how to make something swell.

In this manner Rosaliz passed an unknown amount of time, half the time she was yelling at herself, the other half she simply sat and stared blankly into the parchment. But she couldn’t concentrate on the work. She was to busy with her days work repeating in her mind over and over again. She was tired and drowsy.

It was about mid-night and she knew that they’d kick her out any minute. She grabbed her quill in her hand feeling her fingers grip it really hard as if it had a mind of it’s own and would write the answers on the parchment for her. It was in this state that Rosaliz sat, unknown to the fact that someone now was standing next to her looking at her.

[Maryn Livley]

Maryn was very tired, but she didn't feel like sleeping. After what she had just told Alyson, she felt sick. Maryn couldn't believe she told Alyson her only secret. The one thing she never even spoke of. Now, she was thinking about them all the time and she couldn't take it. She lying on her bed staring at the ground. Maryn couldn't think of anything except their faces. She finally gave up the battle for sleep and decided to go somewhere, anywhere. Maryn quickly changed and headed out of the portrait hole. It was after hours, but she could see a few people walking the halls. She decided to head to the library. Maybe there, she could find something that would take her mind of their faces.

As she stepped in the library, she looked around. She could see a few students working on their homework. Maryn then saw Rosaliz in the corner. She smiled at her. Rosaliz seemed tired too. It looked like she just couldn't think of what to write down. Maryn stood beside her. "I find that if you try to relax and have some fun, you can do anything." Maryn laughed. She used that strategy alot and it usually worked.

Rosaliz jumped when she heard a voice she. Then looked to see who it was. She jumped again feeling scared. She thought she had seen a ghost. Rosaliz rubbed her eyes and then looked again it was just Maryn. She was relieved to see her. She had thought by this time everybody else would be sleeping. She then said “hello Maryn, what’s bringing you to be up so late at night? It sure doesn’t look like you have any homework!” she said.

She then looked back down at her parchment empty as it was before a minute ago. She frowned at this. She then looked back at Maryn hoping she would say something, or at least help her with her homework that she had been dreading to finish it for the past eight hours.

[Maryn Livley]

Maryn listened to Rosaliz's hello. "Oh, I couldn't sleep." Maryn replied. Which was true, just not the whole truth. She looked down at Rosaliz's parchment. It was blank and she could tell Rosaliz needed some help. Maryn took a seat beside Rosaliz.

"What's the paper on? Maybe I could help." Maryn said kindly. She usually finished her homework right when she could so she wouldn't have to worry about it. Maryn hoped she hadn't just agreed to help with some really complicated paper.

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

Rosaliz watched Maryn take a seat. She then asked what the potion's essay was about. Rosaliz explained that she had to write a three rolls of parchment about different kinds of potions such as the poly juice potion, love potion and luck potion. She didn't know what to write since she couldn't think straight. She had been tired and was practically to fall asleep on top of her homework. She looked at Maryn for some help since she always seemed to do her homework easily and she was a year older than her so she must have had more experience than her. She then yawned very lightly rubbing her eyes once more. Her head was throbbing in pain, from thoughts that filled her mind and sleepiness trying to conquer her body. She looked back at Maryn waiting for a reply or even for some help.

[Maryn Livley]

"You know that stuff Rosaliz. You're just tired. The Love Potion well the title explains it. The poly juice transforms a person into someone else, but you have to use bits of the person you're transforming into. And the lucky potion is Felix Felicis." Maryn explained. "Well, I guess you don't because I learned that stuff last year." Maryn smiled. All that stuff was so hard then. It seemed so easy now. "Does that help a little?" Maryn asked. She hoped it did. She wished she had someone to help her with her homework last year.

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

Rosaliz looked at Maryn, while she gave the answer. She was right Rosaliz obviously knew the answer but just couldn’t concentrate. She scribbled down the words before forgetting them. She smiled at this but then yawned again while rubbing her eyes. She then answered the third year girl’s question. “Thanks, I knew it. But I just can’t think clearly” it’s that I just so tired. She then picked up her parchment putting inside her bag along with her books she then sat back down. Well since she was already sitting there with Maryn she wouldn’t mind to talk with her, about other things not just classes. So she decided to change the conversation and asked Maryn. “How was your summer vacation after my party?” she finished with a smile on her face.

[Maryn Livley]

"Oh, well your party was probably the most drama I had all summer. It was crazy fun and sort of scary." Maryn replied remembering when Rosaliz was hit by the car. It scared Maryn a lot. She decided to change the subject. "Maybe you should go to sellp." Maryn told her looking at the bags under her eyes. "Come on ." She said to Rosaliz as she moved towards the door. She stood their waiting for Rosaliz to follow her.

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

Rosaliz stood up, very slowly. Every part of her body ached. She was in pain and tired at the same time. She knew that Maryn was right and she needed to sleep considering the bags under her eyes and She also couldn’t think straight, not even remembering to how to spell her own name on a piece of parchment. She couldn’t sleep late since she had to get up early for classes the next day. Rosaliz picked up her books and bag and made way towards the door. She looked at Maryn she had been waiting for her. Rosaliz walked towards the door gripping her books tightly not wanting them to slip out from her hands. She made another slight yawn. She wanted to rub her eyes but couldn’t since her hands were full. She stared at Maryn and asked “Should I walk with you to your common room or what”. She stood there waiting for a reply.

[Maryn Livley]

"Yes let's go." She replied to Rosaliz. Maryn was silent as they walked. She was thinking of the night of Rosaliz's party. It was scary. Maryn had been late as usual, and came to find whispers of Rosaliz at St. Mungos. That night was not the most frightening that Maryn had seen, but it was not enjoyable. She remembered how much she didn't want Rosaliz to die that night. Maryn had witnessed horrible deaths before and didn't think she could take another one.

They continued towards the Gryffindor tower and upon arrival Maryn murmured the password and came inside. She turned toward Rosaliz. "Good night." She said smiling. "And get some sleep." She said laughing. Maryn then turned towards her dorm. She laid on her bed, closed her eyes, and slept happy thoughts. She was so tired of the unpleasant ones she had been having lately.

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

Rosaliz looked straight forward, not making any noise with every step she took. She liked Maryn a lot considering that she was so friendly and in Gryffindor too. She smiled at this hoping that they spent more time together. She also wondered what she’d be doing right now if Maryn hadn’t found her. Rosaliz knew that she’d still probably in the library making any progress what so ever on that piece of parchment. Rosaliz awoke from her thoughts when she had heard Maryn saying the password. ‘That was quick’ she thought. Maryn talked to Rosaliz a bit and how friendly she was, Rosaliz smiled back. Rosaliz watched as Maryn turned towards the dorm. But yet Rosaliz wasn’t ready to go to sleep yet. She went into the dorm and to her trunk. She needed to look for her other books. Rosaliz tried to lift the trunk’s cover but her body resisted on moving. She then agreed and whispered to her self. “Fine I’ll get it tomorrow.” After she had settled her books and bag she was carrying, from the library. Rosaliz scrambled into bed with her robes on from being so tired. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
