'And we've got time on our hands We've got nothing but time on out hands...'[/color] Cold September mornign. Gah, this was not right in any way shape or form! Wilight Tempest was sat in the library at it was only just 7:30 AM. How she would have loved to have been curled up in her bed right now, dreaming of surreal things and unlocking he subconcious side. But, alas, it was not to be. Temps sat the with an essay infront of her trying to get the last three inches written so she could forget about it.
The long roll of parchment, that lay on the table infront of her, held the tiny scrawl of emerald green writing. Along with many mistrakes and ink blots. This was merely a rough copy. She fid someone else to copy it out for her later. That would be an easy job. The Slytherins girl was only working this hard to avoid people, and life in general. It kept her mind focused on other things rather that the problems she'd have to face eventually.
Rising from her seat Twilight yawned slight. Breakfast had also nt been on the list, which was made obvious by the loud growl that emitted from her stomach. She groaned quietly before shuffling over to a near by shelf. Twilight was dressed in simple black skinny jeans and a black shirt. Tugging a book out of it's tight space on the shelf, she opened it up and began to skim the pages for the information she needed.

Rydell wandered into the library, a small almost completely drained cup of coffee in his hand. He changed his drinking habits to try and keep his mind focused after a night of no sleep. He drained the last of it in one gulp and put his cup into his bag. the last drop making an escape against the folds of his bag. He looked around and immediately spotted Twilight. he stopped dead in his tracks and looked at his watch. 7:30 am it read and he was surprised. "I didn't think anyone would be awake this early in the morning apart from us Ravenclaws." he said as he walked up behind her sitting at a table.
He put his book bag on a chair and walked over to a book shelf and grabbed a book off the shelf relating to the designing of wands, "What gets you up this early?" he asked her as he walked back over and sat down. across the table from her.

'And we've got time on our hands We've got nothing but time on out hands...'[/color] Temps looked up hearing the voice. Her eyes landed on one of her better friends and she smirked, "Well you thought wrong Mister." He eyes went back to the page and found a passage that could be useful. Twilight sat back down at the table and this time skimmed her essay to find she had already written a section of information into the essay already."I couldn't sleep properly and I had work to do." Twilight explained to him. "What about you? I thought you'd like a lie in." Which was her way of saying, 'Did you not stay up all last night?'
Temps slammed her book shut and blew a raspberry at it. As childish as it was, she didn't care. This essay was not going to get finished and she'd just take the detention, as long as it was not with the Divination Professor.

Rydell smirked slightly, "I am fine for now, I will be needing caffeine for a few hours but apart from that I solved my issues with blood." he said to her not being quiet, he didn't need to worry about it here. The only people that he could trust with it was sitting right in front of him. "And yes I was up all last night getting it." he said to her.
Rydell opened the book up and turned the the fourth chapter Selecting the type of wood to use for the wand he began to scan the pages. "Do you know what you are doing for a career in the future?" he asked her as he read about the difference between Elm and Oak wands.

'And we've got time on our hands We've got nothing but time on out hands...'[/color] "Aww that's good news." she said smiling at him. Twilight dropped her head onto the wooden desk, but continued to listen to him. "Coffee is an essential part of my life." she muttered with a laugh. She was just glad that he was ok and had everything sorted. Temps hated seeing her friends struggle unless they deserved it... and unless she was putting them through it.
Slowly, she lifter her head off the desk. "I have some idea, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to pull any of them off." Twilight said. Things were very messy at the moment with the Junior DE's and what she had told Louis. Steps were going to be taken very cautiously. "WHy do you ask?" Twilight questioned, cocking her head to one side to read the spine of his book. After reading it she straightened up again.

Rydell nodded. "Coffee is really good." he said to her as he looked at her, "I am just wondering because I have been starting to look at a job for myself." he said to her, "I think I am going to be a wand maker." he said, "Ollivander has even agreed to let me apprentice under him." he said to her.
He put a finger under the paragraph that he was on and looked up at her. "How have you been lately?" he asked her. reaching a sensitive subject he hadn't been much help with last time they had talked.

'And we've got time on our hands We've got nothing but time on out hands...'[/color] "Creating Wands. That's pretty col. I'm kind of surprised Ollivander let you work with him. He must see something very special in you." Twilight said. It was no secret that Ollivander loved his work and to try and work with him was like getting blood out of a stone."Bet you'll do great." Twilight said turning her head and smiling at him. Rydell was a bright student and he was bound to succeed where ever he went.
Hearing his next question Temps shrugged slightly. "I'm alright I guess. I have to press on with things really. Can't dwell on it." She knew that it was truth. With NEWT's o the horizon she had no time to stay off and finish grieving. She needed to keep at work and plan out what she was going to do. "Been lonely though." Not onlyin the sense she had lost her father but she had not seen many of the one's se called friends around. Nigel was non existant. Louis she was avoiding and only know had she bumped into Rydel since returning to school.

Rydell smiled "Personally I think he is letting me work with him because he is getting to the age where he wants to retire." he said to her, "but that is just my personal thoughts" he added. "I am glad that you have something to take your mind off things." he said to her, "Although I don't really think that Exams should be the only thing that you use to take your mind off things. I am gonna be around if you need me." he said to her.
"What are you doing this afternoon?" he asked her, "Hopefully not working." he said to her as he looked at her, He knew of a couple things that should make her a little happier.

'And we've got time on our hands We've got nothing but time on out hands...'[/color] "Perhaps. Who knows, truly, how Ollivander's mind works?" The old man was slight strange in Twilight opinion. And she knew he wasn't to fond of her after almost setting his shop on fire to find her wand. She smiled softly at Rydell, "I'm coping so even if i need to bury myself in exam work I'll do it." she gave a small laugh. "This afternoon. I hadn't really planned anything to be honest." she explained. "I was going to settle down and work but I don't know what else to do."

"Would you like to possibly get a bite to eat?" he asked her as he looked at her. "My treat." he said as he glanced at the Librarian real quick and then back at Twilight. "Maybe play a prank or two on some younger students." he suggested.
He sat thinking for a few minutes as he looked at her, "Of course if you don't want to do anything that is fine." he said to her as he looked out the window at the still rising sun. "I don't want to make you do anything you don't want to." he said to her.

'And we've got time on our hands We've got nothing but time on out hands...'[/color] She heard his offer and smiled a little bright as she thought about the offer. twilight hadn't really been out and about anywhere or interacted with anyone. "I'd love to go out for a bite." Temps said to Rydell. After all he'd only make her feel better about things. "You wouldn't be forcing me to do anything, hun." Twilight told him, flashing a white smile.

Rydell smiled "Okay then." he said to her, "So, What is your paper on?" he asked her as he looked at the parchment and book she was using. "Need any help?" he asked her as he closed his own book, "I got nothing to do today." he said to her.
he looked up as a new person entered the library, he glanced at his watch, 8:15 Am "Wow time is going by fast." he said to her as he watched the new student for a few moments before looking back at Twilight.
