There was really no need for Ariel to be in the Study Hall. He wasn't failing a class (how could you suggest such a thing?) but for some reason he'd taken up residence in the room, deeming it the best place to spend the day. The library was full and Ariel just wanted a place to be alone. The Slytherins had smuggled some booze up from Hogsmeade and were gambling and drinking in the common room. Ariel wanted no part of that so he'd retreated to the Study Hall. It was nice enough. Certainly it was quiet enough.
Ariel had inadvertently seated himself across and down two from Mira that morning. He'd not elected to sit there by choice but just because it was the only empty place. Had he been able to choose, he would have taken a seat nearest the door. He was quite happy with this one though, which was by a window. Still, he did have the Wicked Witch of the West breathing fire because of some reason or another. Whatever it was, it was probably concerning Krum. Typically, anything making Mira pissy had something to do with Elijah.
"Mira!"
Ariel's voice was tinged with irritation as she began to flip through the book. He looked up from his work and his quill dropped slightly as his hand move forward. He exhaled and glared gently at her - if it was possible to glare gently.
"Can you stop please?"
See, he'd even managed a please. Jack had too much of an influence over him. She was making him nice. Heaven forbid.
