Romeo and Juliet [Allison D.]

[rathstcroix21212]

Rath stood at the end of the S-SH section and leaned on the huge shelf. In his hand he held a copy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare and was reading intently. He thought of the tragic romance of the two and the rival families. He thought himself and imagined the situation. O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?". The Slytherin tried to read the words the way they weree writen but he couldn't. It just became "O Rath, Rath! wherefore art thou Rath?". He shook his head and kept reading.

There were so many interesting books in the library! How were you supposed to pick one to read? Ally was bent over, skimming her finger over the bindings of the many books that were perched upon the shelf. She had no clue what to read and was beginning to feel a bit overwhelmed. She sighed and stood up right. She ran a hand through her long hair, brushing her bangs out of her eyes before glancing to her right and left.

She had been in the Library for a while now but had not run into any one she knew. Now that she thought about it, she knew very few people. A smile tugged at the corners of her lips as she thought about her friends at the castle and her boyfriend. She sighed again and picked up the book at random off a shelve before heading off in a random direction.

She glanced down at the cover of the book she had picked up. Magical Creatures. Well, it was an interesting topic, maybe she would pick up a few others while she was at it. She turned the corner, heading for the S section when she stopped suddenly. In front of her was Rath, reading a book while leaning against the book shelves. A smile instantly appeared and she continued walking, at a slow pace, toward him. "Hey you," she said cheerfully, stopping a few feet away.

He looked over at her. "Hey." He smiled and turned towards her. "How have you been?" He closed his book not caring he had lost his place. He looked at her book. "Magical Creatures, eh?"

As he closed his book and turned toward her, an apologetic smile appeared across her face. "Sorry. Was I disturbing you?" She asked, shifting her own book from one hand to the other.

She glanced down at the book she was holding, paying attention to the cover this time. It was probably a book she would not enjoy reading so much. "Yeah, thought I might as well read for class." She said, smiling brightly, letting her fangs show the slightest bit. "So, how have you been?" She asked him, tilting her head to the side slightly. The last time she had seen him she had been a wreck. Good thing she was in much higher spirits this time.

"No of course not." He smiled. Rath leaned on the shelf again and looked at her. "Yeah studiying helps..a lot." He laughed. "I've been awesome, You?" He stared into her eyes and smiled some. He looked over at some other students being shooshed by a librarian.

She smiled again at his reply. She was glad that he had not interrupted him or anything. "Wacha reading?" She asked him, glancing down at the book he had just closed. She could not see the cover clearly from where she was standing.

She laughed along with him. "Yeah, I usually don't but I'm a bit behind there." She explained. Since she was considered a 'magical creature' she did not enjoy the subject, but she could not ignore her grades any longer.

"That's good," She replied in a happy tone. She was about to answer to his question when the librarian caught her eye. She looked around Rath to see her telling some students to be quiet. She smiled before focusing her eyes on him once again. "I've been ok," She said, walking a little closer so it was only two feet between them, instead of several.
