Homeworks, Homeworks, Homeworks... Always homeworks. The thing she hated to do the most in this world. Plus, saturday night was made for partying, talking with friends, sneaking in the Forbidden Forest, NOT for studying. But Lee had plenty of homeworks to do due for Monday or Tuesday. The 1st January, she had took the resolution to not be late for her homeworks and she wanted to make it for about 2 months since her sister had bet she would only handle it for one week and a half.
Monday was the day. If she had done all her homeworks before Monday morning, she would earn 2 galleons! Well, it wasn't much but still. Lily looked around the library. It seemed more empty then ever. The slytherin perfectly knew that everyone were in their common room, talking, partying, or sneaking in the Forbidden Forest. That was usually what students would do.
Lee ran her hands through her hair and hit her forehead on the wooden table. "Oww..." she whispered for herself and massaged her forehead a few seconds... |

Justin was about half way through the book Schuyler had lent him, it was a good book but he just didn't have the time to sit down and read it. It didn't help that everyone was exceptionally loud in the common room that day. So, he decided to go to the one place in the school students actually went to read: the library. He sat at a table near the back almost completely consumed in the book in front of him.
He halfway jumped as he heard a small thud. Glancing up from his book for the first time in he didn't know how long, he looked around. Almost instantly his eyes fell on the girl at a table a little ways away from him. Hesitating slightly, he marked the page he was on and closed the book with a small thud. Lifting it off the table he moved over to the girl. Glancing at the papers and books in front of her he smiled shortly. Two conclusions came into his head, either she was a Ravenclaw - which he doubted because he didn't recognize her - or she was doing her homework. "Need some help?" he asked quietly.

Pulling her knees up to her chest, she leaned her head backwards, looking up at the ceiling. *3 days and it's finished! Come on, you can let Abi win this!* she repeated to herself, but still it didn't help her. Not that her homeworks were difficult. It was just that she was tired of all those stupid things. The only one she was really enjoying was the Potions' homework. But unfortunately, she had finished that one earlier that same day.
Lee looked up as she heard a small thud, certainly from someone who had just closed a book. *Thought I was alone...* she thought and saw a boy appear. She sighed as he asked if she needed help. "Of course! If you could make all those homeworks for me, you would be a sweetheart..." she said with a soft smile. |

Justin couldn't help but chuckle. His dark voice making it almost like a purr. Doing it for her wasn't exactly what I had in mind he thought, taking a seat at the table so that he was facing her. "I won't do it for you. But I will help. What subject are you working on now?" He asked, setting his book on the table next to him, but away from her things. The last thing he needed was for their things to get mixed up. He really didn't want to lose Schuyler's book.
He leaned over the table to read what the girl had done so far. Alright, this should be easy. A seventh year Ravenclaw helping with what looked to be fourth or fifth year homework. Curious now he asked. "What year are you in?"

Lily arched an eyebrown curiously as the boy chuckled. *Yeah, right...* she thought and looked around the library once more. She sighed as he said he wouldn’t do it for her but would help her. “Herbology.” She replied turning her eyes to her homework. Herbology, the class she hated the most after the Defence Against the Dark Arts.
Lee leaned backwards in her chair as the boy leaned over the table to see what was her homework. “5th, why?” she replied. She pushed her knees down and crossed a leg over the other, her eyes fixed on the boy. “I’m Lily Rose, by the way. But just call me Lily.” she said, presenting herself and waiting for the boy to give her his name. |

Herbology? he thought. Great, that was one of his least favorite subjects. It was just so boring. Oh well, he said he would help her and he would. He shrugged at her question. "Just wondering." He assured her, leaning back in his seat again. "Justin Whistler, but you can just call me Justin." He chuckled lightly. He was in a rather good mood that day. "Is there something specific you have a question on?"

Lee sighed and played with a lock of her hair and looked around the library. “Well, it’s nice to meet you, Justin.” She said, looking at him once again. When he chuckled, she arched an eyebrow then shook her head and put her attention back on her homework. After his question, she said “Y’know what. I think I’m just going to finish them tomorrow. Thanks anyway.” She started closing her books, smiling slightly... |

Smiling politely, Justin assured her, "the pleasure's mine." He sat back comfortably in the chair, his hands resting on the table. He shrugged as she said she'd finish it tomorrow. "So, what house are you in?" he asked, attempting to make conversation with the girl. He was sure she wasn't in Ravenclaw, he didn't recognize her and she was putting her homework off. Waiting for her answer, he sat patiently.

Lee cntinued playing with a lock of her hair, looking around the library. *Yeah, right...* she thought to his comment and pulled her knees up to her chest. "Slytherin. You?" she replied. One thing she was certain of was that he wasn't in the same house. She hadn't seen him in the common room and Lily usually spent more time then anybody else in there. So she could observe everybody entering and leaving the slythie common room. |

Justin had a feeling the girl didn't quite want him there, that she was silently mocking every word he said. Figured, she was a Slytherin he thought as she answered his question. He didn't quite now what else to say to help the struggling conversation. "Ravenclaw," he shrugged, fingering the corner of the book on the table beside him aimlessly. He looked back at her, "it's Saturday night and you're in the library. Is there a reason other than to just get your homework done?" he asked. For some reason he just didn't see the girl to be one to stay in on the weekend and do her homework, especially if it wasn't due the next day. She just came off as a procrastinator in his eyes. But who was he kidding? He wasn't that great of a judge of character.
