Meeting Once More

[harryrules]

occ; thread closed for Holden Caulfield and Amanda Larson

Sadly this lonely morning, James had spent it making sure the books were in the correct place. Students, he did not know whom, had been messing about - he could only assume this had been when the other Libarian had been here. James sighed. It would have been nicer to have done something else, but nevertheless James was happy to be back in Hogwarts. It had been way too long. The last time he had stepped foot inside the castle had been the day he had graduated. Too long ago - yet the memories remained clear inside his mind.

The thoughts of Jenna came to mind, and of what had happened that eventful, romantic holiday. James couldn't help but beam. Something was happening to him, that he couldn't say had happened too many times before. Jenna and him were together. More than just Girlfriend and Boyfriend anymore, way more. His thoughts lingered on her, as he continued stacking the shelves with the correct books. James was hardly done yet, but all the same, he was happy enough. Jenna, even though she wasn't actually with him, was with him. Did that make any sense? Hardly ...

James rarely made sense these days, but it was mainly because he was more than happy.

There's not a list that goes by Amanda to reveal who the new librarian is. Not only was she super duper excited to enter in the library, but she was going to give a surprise visit to none other than James Singer. However, she's not going to be alone, oh no, she'll be escorted by Holden Caulfield. Afterall, the library was their place of wreckoning, and what better welcome is there than to cause some... havoc?

She left the Hufflepuff tower after a morning of writing letters to her family and friends back at home. Then leading the way out of the common room, she ventured down the hallways, hands pocketed in her ragged worn jeans. Yes, Amanda looked so innocent as she was heading toward her favorite place to hang out, well besides the Quidditch Pitch.

Amanda really couldn't keep this smile off her face. You know there is just another side to her, one that's hidden deep within masking layers to show her true colors. Only very few have seen this part of Amanda, Holden being one of them, and she wasn't going to go easy on James' first day back.

Don't think she's picking on him because he's a librarian and most librarians disliked the duo Larfield, but because he is someone she respected well into her first and second year at Trio's when he was still a student. Also he was a nice guy and friend. So it is only fair to welcome a friend by the most devious acts of all acts in this school. Muck the hell out of his library... eventually.

But this is just a meeting, so she'd save her awesome tactics later and play it safe for now. Upon entering the library, she immediately spotted James restacking books off to the side. A grin slipped across her lips as she looked to Holden, her sapphire eyes glinted with excitement. Hands behind her back, she just casually approached the librarian and stopped a couple feet away.

"Well well well, we finally have a librarian that we actually like. I wonder if Jamesy will stay longer than the previous. I say, Holden, how long did the previous librarian last?" She asked quite inquisitively. "Was it... oh I can't remember. They all come and go, but my my, James Singer its great to see you've returned in our nick of the woods," she smiled.

[Holden J. Caulfield]

Holden walked to the library with a grin on his face. The Larfield duo was back in action. A new librarian and ex-Hufflepuff captain was back at the school. Lucky them. >=] The rest of his Hogwarts years would be quite fun with Singer back.

He had his hands in his pockets as he sang a song to himself.

"I've just seen a face. I can't forget the time or place that we'd just met, she's just the girl for me. And I want all the world to see we've met
Mmhm mmhm mmhm.

"Had it been another day I might have looked the other way. But I had never been aware. And as it is I dream of her tonight. Dieh dieh diehdieh dieh."

Holden chuckled at the thought of Amanda already terrorizing James. They hadn't seen him in so long, their second or third year perhaps. Ages. James and Holden had never been what Holden would have called "friendilions" but Holden did like James. He tackled James at practices, then Katy, and now Amanda. It was like a Seeker-Captain greeting if you will.

"Falling, yes I am falling. And she keeps calling me back again. I have never known the likes of this, I've been alone. And I have missed things and kept out of sight. But other girls were never quite like this. Na na na na na na."

The fifth year walked into the library and already spotted Amanda and their dear librarian. A smirk came upon his face as he walked over to them. Amanda had noticed him and asked him a question about their last librarian. He grinned before he answered.

"Two days I believe. Maybe a day more." "Welcome back Singer." Holden's eyes beamed up. This was going to be one hell of a term that was coming up.

"Well, well, well ..."

Gazing towards the two, the frown that had once been there disappeared and was replaced by a wide, bright, boy-ish smile. Seeing Amanda and Holden again brought back many memories. All from Quidditch, well more or less. Both had been members, and assumed still were. Holden had been the young gentleman to stop all the arguments that seemed to spark up between himself and Katy - and Amanda? Amanda had been amazing at quidditch. They had met in their Second Year or so, he couldn't quite remember, but had become some sort of friends. He had been their Captain, it was only right he got on with his members [well minus one of them perhaps].

"I didn't think I'd see you both again, but I'm glad I have," he smiled, "Good to be back at the school - missed you lot. Been up to any trouble lately?" He was thinking of the Libary, and assumed these were two of many who wanted to get on the Libarian's nerves. Oh, this could be quite an entertaining year. With Master Singer back, this time as a Libarian, and these two troublemakers - it would be more than fun. He was very much looking forward to this.

A beaming James moved from his shelves, and to stand before the two Huffies. "So, what's been happening around here? Anything interesting?" Being away from the school, did mean being away from all the juicy gossip that seemed to sparkle around the school. He had always been one to appear greatly in the Column, and wondered whom was the 'Playa' now. It had once been him, it seemed years ago now, but things had changed of course. He was getting married.

Married! Who would've thought it.

[amandalarsen]

Tsk tsk, that poor former librarian. Whatever got his boxers in a twist anyway? Who'd leave the school without experiencing the student body? Especially Amanda and Holden, hello!? Innocent ickle Huffies that wouldn't do any harm... as a cover of course. But secretly we know that they are ebil! Luckily James hasn't worn out his welcome yet. He's just oh so lucky!

Amanda beamed as James recognized the both of them. Of course he couldn't forget the youngin's of the team before he left. Plus, you know that eventually he'd see them again, even if he weren't at Hogwarts because sooner or later they'd graduate! "Trouble?" She looked at him slightly appalled. "Us? No way! We have not caused havoc around this school. That-That is just unheard of."

Who was Amanda kidding anyway? Perhaps James could just see right through her, but it's not like she caused him any trouble back in the day. Well besides that one article she wrote, but she was immature back then! Hah, when has she matured? You can't say a few months ago because she's hanging out with Holden. What does that tell you? xP

"Erm... nothing really. The same old new professors, relationship dramas, and the upcoming fall break. Quidditch has been a hoot! Surprisingly we had this promotional ceremony toward the beginning of term and we all upped a year. We'd be fourth years if it weren't for the generous gift from the Headmistress." She definitely wouldn't want to return to being a fourth year. "Anything else I'm missing?" She turned to Holden.

[Holden J. Caulfield]

Was Amanda just calling Holden James Caulfield "immature"? He is not "immature"! Holden just knows how to have fun in front of the way-to-mature kids. He is very mature for his age thank you very much! At least I think so...=] Actually I believe Amanda was calling Holden mature but I wanted to have this whole 'omfg you called him immature' paragraph. =]

Pfft trouble! How dare James Singer state that Amanda and him could get into trouble! That was unheard of! People shouldn't just asume. It was rude! It's Amanda Larsen and Holden Caulfield we're typing about here! Two Hufflepuffs that were completely loyal and trustworthy! Not. Hufflepuffs have been known to be the party house but they weren't that bad.

"Amanda has been make Hufflepuff captain," he smiled. Holden put his arm around Amanda's shoulders. "Who knew?" He smiled and dropped his arm. "Exams. This term is almost over in two to three days. Our sixth year is coming up." Holden began thinking about it. Soon he would be out in the real world? What was he going to do? Join the Reversal Squad! =]

The Hufflepuff snapped out of it and looked to James. "What have you been up to? We haven't seen you in ages. No note, no letters, not even a 'I Miss You Guys' card. It's been very depressing. Hasn't it Amanda?" Not really but it was just something to say.

Holden and Amanda needed to begin to make some plots. Grawr. If they kept talking with James they would never get anything done.

James folded arms across his chest, poking his tongue cheekily out at the both of them. "Oh, of course ... You two would never get in trouble." Giving them both a sarcastic laugh, Master Singer returned his arms to his side.

Amanda has been make Hufflepuff captain

James gasped, though was not in as much shock as he once thought he would be in. He had, truthfully, always known that Amanda would make Quidditch Captain. "Th .. That's absolutley wonderful. I always knew you would make it as Captain one day," he smiled. The Libarian stepped closer to her, embracing her in a friendly hug. He let go with one arm, and pulled the little funny-kid that was Holden Caulfriend. Aw, group hug much. "I've missed you guys. I know we never talked much in the past - but you are both extremely awesome in your own special way."

He stepped back from them, ready now to answer Mister Holden's question. "Me, well .. Once I graduated I got a job, a flat and hell yeah, even a girlfriend. Probably not something unheard off, but we are still together now. Going strong and all .. Anyway, we holidayed around parts of the world for a bit, and I .. I asked her to marry me." His cheeks turned a vivid red, knowing that both of these two were the first to hear of the news. "She said yes obviously - afterall, who could say no to me?" Of course at that part he was kidding.

"And now I'm here - Libarian. Who would've thought it."
