KissIt&MakeItBetter... [Foxworthy]

Erik wasn't one to read. Or study. Or really pay attention in class for that matter. He was in fact, a laid-back guy who really didn't care about life in general. He walked into the Library, head held high as if he owned the place, not that he'd tell you if he did or didn't. Just think about it for a minute.

He grinned as he found a nice lonesome table somewhere, not too far off and sighed happily as he sunk into one of the armchairs. He winked at a couple girls not too far away and finally closed both his eyes and let his breaths come evenly. This felt really good. His lips curled into more of a smirk than anything as he imagined his old childhood crush and her new boyfriend in his mind's eye. And how they had been hooking up behind the boyfriend's back. Ah, good times.

He opened his eyes, finally scanning the rest of the quiet mousy library. So not his scene, but he knew there were quite a few ladies there who loved the security and safety of the Library walls and the books. Too bad for them, Erik was there to

Sophie-Ann wanted to check out as many parts of Hogwarts as she could, as soon as was humanly possible, and she also had several books in mind which she wanted to consult. It was utterly unsurprising, then, that she had found herself heading for the library immediately after dinner this evening.

She had browsed the shelves for around half an hour, marvelling at the weird and wonderfully-titled books that filled the library, occasionally barely failing to suppress a laugh at one or two particularly dodgy-sounding ones, drawing glances of stern rebuke from the librarian.

Having had a good look around, Sophie-Ann emerged from the rows of books and headed towards the reading area, two books in hand: Hogwarts: A History and Quidditch through the Ages. The seated bit of the library was not especially full, those students present spread out thinly across the many tables. One table had only one boy on it, and she headed for this one, nodded to the student and placed her free hand on the back of an empty armchair.

"Excuse me, no-one's sitting here, are they?" she asked, her voice extremely well-spoken, but betraying the slightest hint of the years she had spent in Australia. It was quite a silly question, she mused: obviously no one was actually sat there now. What she was actually asking was if it were saved for anyone. Ah well.

Erik snapped out of his lovely daydream about something which you don't want to know about. Trust me, it's for his closed eyes only. He sat up a little straighter and saw a girl, around his age... maybe a little younger then the 16 year old. He lifted a corner of his mouth in a devilish grin and gestured for her to take the seat. "Of course it's free, for a pretty girl like yourself." he said softly, mischievously as he sunk back into the chair and shut his eyes.

Playing a little hard to get are we Carson? Nice try, but it doesn't look like this girl will take that for an answer. He was almost sure she could see right through him, but decided against it. Who cared? It was just one girl. Maybe a friend... perhaps, maybe someone just to play around with, to tease, or maybe a brain who thought him a waste of her time. Either way, there was something s e x y} about her and he was going to get her to u n l e a s h} it.

"So, if you'd thought I was a bit of a moose, you'd suddenly have had a friend appear outta nowhere to take the seat, is that it?" asked Sophie-Ann, smiling mischievously. Boys. Bless 'em. At least that's one thing that was pretty much constant between the muggle and magical worlds, she thought to herself.

She placed her books down on the table, and then sank into the armchair opposite the guy. Opening the copy of Hogwarts: A History to the introduction, she began reading, and quickly became engrossed in the tale of Godric Gryffindor et al.

Hm. What a different type of girl. Not the usual, but then again, he loved the usual. "So, I didn't quite catch your name, sweets." he said, arching his brow and chuckling, "Sorry 'bout that. I'm Erik Carson." he said, sitting up and extending his hand to the girl. He caught a glimpse of the crest on her robes and saw a red lion.

He smirked, "I see we have a brave and loyal Gryffindor on our hands..." he winked and grinned, "Are all Gryffindor's as beautiful as you?" he asked, pulling out the lamest card and the book. That earned a laugh from him, "Sorry, sorry. I just had to say that. It was too tempting." he laughed and glanced up at her with his pale blue eyes.

"But seriously... are they?" he added, smirking.

"I think that might have been something to do with, y'know, me not telling you it," she laughed, softly. "Sophie-Ann Foxworthy, pleased to meet you. And, just for reference, I landed just fine when I fell from heaven, you don't get to re-arrange the alphabet, and I don't own any space pants." Or would it be robes? She thought to herself for a second. Does that line work for wizards?

She grinned and shook her head, before returning to her book. She had to give him points for nerve, at least.

OOC: Meh, I didn't think we wore house robes in the evenings, but I'll roll with it
