Serenity was sat in a back corner of the library, chair leaned back on two legs, yet the back was resting against the wall. She had tight fitting jeans on, and a bright yellow t-shirt with a badger in the middle and 'Hufflepuff, because my ego doesnt rule me' curved around the badger in two lines. Hufflepuff on top and the rest on the bottom. Because it was true. Sure she, like every other human being had egotistical moments, she didn't let it rule her.
Her school robes, complete with prefects badge, were rested over the back of the chair, and half sandwiched between the chair and wall. Not exactly orthodox, but that was why she was stuck in a back corner, not only was it an escape from her nice but tiring friends, it was a place where she didn't need to be so straightlace, that and only teachers, and Ravenclaws came back this far, along with the occational couple, but seeing her dispelled that notion quite quickly from their teenaged minds.
Her hair was its normal reddish brown color, with yellow and black tips, mingling together in the ponytail that kept all but her bangs back and out of her way. Her nails were painted, predictably yellow and black, which while yellow wasn't her favorite color, it was nice to show her house spirit. After all, it wasn't every year you got to be so wickedly awesome now was it?
Since this was a library, she was reading, blue eyes focused on the pages of her book. It was a muggle fiction work, but it was still interesting. It was called Peeps, a book about Vampirism and parasites. Odd sounding book, but that had to be what had drawn her to it in the first place.

Harry was looking for a good DADA book, as Lupin had made it quite clear that this would be the toughest class Harry had ever taken, therefore, he had to venture farther back than usual, when he noticed the Hufflepuff girl, in quite an odd position. "Hey," he called to her, making his way over, "you'r the new Hufflepuff captain...arnt you?" he asked, pulling a seat out and sitting backwards in it as he took a good look at her. ~Wow, shes even taller than Jon. Never thought I'd meet someone this tall.~ he thought to himself.

Serenity looked up from her book and let the other two legs of the chair fall to the floor with a clunk as she marked her page and closed the book. "Hi. Yep that'd be me." She said with a bright smile before extending her hand. "Serenity James at your service. I'm also seeker. You're my Gryffindor counterpart arent you?" She asked cheerfully. She'd heard about Harry, and seen him in the halls, after all, who hadn't, but this was still her first time actually talking to him.

Harry shook her hand, but he meant business. "Yea, Im Potter. And, just to let you know mate...Gryffindor is taking the cup this year. Its ours." he said with a smile. "Hell, with Jon as my chaser, I can't lose." then he had a thought, "Have you met Jon?" he asked, a smirk creeping onto his lips.

"Can't win if you can't catch the snitch" She replied with a smirk. "You havent seen me in action yet, but believe me, I'm just as good as you are." She paused a moment, "Yeah... I've met him once or twice. Talked to him in class. Nice guy. Why?" She crossed one leg over the other and leaned forward a bit clasping her hands in front of her, a sure sign that she had caught onto something, but wasn't sure what.

"You can win without catching the snitch. And I'd be willing to bet a hundred galleons...you could catch the snitch...and Gryffindor would still win." he said with a smirk. "And I'm sure that you dont have as advanced a broom as I have." he smirked, his trusty Firebolt never failed. "Because Jon's very...interesting. That's all." he finished, hoping to play Cupid.

"Yes well I've been saving up for years, and this year, when it really matters, I managed to match brooms with you Potter." She replied with a smile as she leaned back again taking her book and resting it lightly on her lap. "Interesting? That he is I suppose." An almost preditory smile flashed on her lips for a fraction of a moment, before she reached up and pushed a strand of bangs out of her eyes. "Why are you suddenly so interested in what I think of Jon?" She had her own idea, which she wasn't really going to voice, but if it was what she thought it was, she wasn't really interested. Dates werent really her thing. And besides, all of her other relationships, while there weren't that many, ended badly.

"My Firebolt will beat anything you throw at it. Including other Firebolts...See mine has a little secret that no other broom has, or can have." he whispered before he leaned forward. "I'm riding it." he whispered before leaning back again. "And I'm asking about Jon, because I feel like it." he said shrugging. Though he knew she knew what he was up too.

"We'll soon see Potter. We'll soon see." Serenity replied absently running a finger over the corner of her book's cover, the smirk growing into a smile then a friendly grin. Knowing that she probably wasn't going to get much out of him about why he was asking, she switched topics. "What brings you this deep into the library?"

"Lupin thats what. N.E.W.T.'s are going to kill me. And don't change the subject. It doesn't work on me." he said leaning back in the chair, she thought she'd outsmart him huh? As if.

"Come on Potter. DADA should be your best subject." She replied, "And if it's going to kill you, what's it going to do to the rest of us?" She joked lightly before crossing her arms almost indignantly "I did not change the subject. Its just rare that someone comes back here is all."

"I come backe here all the time. Have been for 7 years. Do you not watch my michief?" he asked. "Anyway, yea, your DADA N.E.W.T's are going to destroy you." he said with a ~As if you can beat me in DADA~ look. "And you did change the subject. The topic was Jon, not what I'm doing back in this part of the library."

"Well then we must have always just missed each other, as I haven't seen anyone but Ravenclaws come back here for books. And DADA isn't horrible, at least it hasn't been so far. Sure it prompts some studying, but that's what your friends are for. You work with them, and everything gets done twice as fast." She said with a grin and a shrug, "And I got bored of talking about him, and curious as to why you were back here, so I figured that I'd ask, it doesn't mean that I was changing the subject completely."

"Uh huh." he said, running a hand through his hair. "Your actually kinda boring me." he said with a smirk.
