Musical Doodles [OPEN]

[gemma0avery]

If one was to enter the library that particular fall afternoon they’d see something extraordinary… If they were quite as they approached they’d spot Miss Gemma Avery hunched over a paper apparently doing school work, for once, while quietly singing to herself. Yes, this would in fact be an extraordinary sight to behold, if Gemma had actually been working on school work that is. But of course this was Gemma, a girl who procrastinated until the last possible moment and then somehow still had pretty good grades. So of course she was not actually doing school work like any other person would, she was instead doodling thoughtlessly on a design for a Halloween costume that had popped into her head only moments ago distracting her from the book of riddles she’d been thoughtlessly flipping through.

“Crashed on the floor when I moved in
This little bungalow with some strange new friends
Stay up too late, and I'm too thin
We promise each other it's 'til the end
Now we're spinning empty bottles
It's the five of us
With pretty eyed boys girls die to trust
I can't resist the day
No, I can't resist the day…” she quietly sang to herself, humming the next couple of lines as she carefully sketched out the wings of the fire fairy costume she’d been diligently working on for the last half hour or so.

Of course anyone that found out what Gemma was really doing probably wouldn’t be to surprised, after all she could often be found singing or humming to herself while doing something random like doodling, origami, or enchanting toothpicks to sword fight each other. It was just a very Gemma thing to be caught doing… What would be amazing would be to find her quietly working on something she was actually supposed to or even just quietly sitting still somewhere.

But such things were not the case; instead Gemma continued to sit there singing/humming to herself and sketching away on her design… Which I might add was nearly done, and when it was done she’d probably go on to find a random book on fairies to check and see if her design was as accurate as possible.

Alice was amazingly in a good mood, having already hexed two first years and coaxed three other first years to do her bidding. It was so easy and simple but the spells were starting to get old and she finally decided to add to library of good spells. So Alice headed towards the Library after her classes finished, upon entering she went straight to the shelf that had 'Advanced Spells' books.

Looking for the right book always was hard for Alice, since there were so many good books with fantastic spells. The sound of humming broke the silence, interrupting Alice's thinking. Who would be humming in the library? Was it that Hufflepuff called Isabella who was known to love music? Alice looked around for the source of the humming and at located a Gryffindor female sitting in a corner scribbling on a parchment.

Alice took three spell books and headed towards her, she wouldn't be cruel but she was certainly going to have to ask the girl to be quiet. Creeping behind her, Alice's eyes sought for any identification on who the girl was. Eventually her eyes found the name scribbled on the girls bag. Gemma Avery. The one who was known to have a huge temper. Alice sighed, nothing new to her. Bella, Alice's cousin, was much more lethal than Gemma since she had her alter ego. But Alice decided to not underestimate another person before knowing them. Underestimating....was very dangerous, as proved by all those who underestimated Bella. "Hello, Avery." said Alice casually, pulling a chair over to where Gemma sat and placing her spell books on the table.

With a white hand, Alice opened the book, flipping boredly through the pages, "Procrastinating again, huh?" she said quietly, keeping her gray eyes on the thin parchment of the book. She didn't want to get on Gemma's nerves...but she did want to test her capabilities. Alice could easily sense how strong a person was by the way talked, acted and....dueled.
