Who: Ashlyn Cooper and Sieffre Robins
Where: The Library (may move elsewhere, just depends)
When: Thursday Evening, just before the Feminist Club meeting.

It had been an extremely busy day for Ashlyn Cooper. And thank Merlin for the small breaks at the end of the day; she didn't know what she would do without her quiet library time. Of course, spending all that time working on school work wasn't exactly her cup of tea, but it'd have to do for now. Quidditch practices were picking up more and more and when that was added on top of the bloody school play, well...she was ready to scream. Now, if only Madam Pince would allow her (a very very responsible and trustworthy Ravenclaw) to have something to drink in the library, her life would be complete.
As it was, her mind was mulling over the properties of their latest transfiguration work, Valentine's Day (and the resulting Hogsmeade trip), and...well, Christian. She wondered if he would be present in Hogsmeade the next weekend...if he'd even have time to stop by and say hello to her. Not that she was important as Ingrid, but. There wasn't much Ashlyn could do to help that.

Meanwhile, Sieffre had a lot on his mind. He was most concerned about the game against Gryffindor on the twenty-third, but pesky school work kept getting in the way. Then of course, there was the issue of next Thursday. Though he had publicly denounced Valentine's Day via journal, he still found himself wanting to spend the day with Ashlyn. But that would never happen so long as she was mooning over Christian bloody Entwhistle.

Walking into the library to work on Transfigurations, he spotted Ashe and smiled, making his way over. "Take pity on a poor struggling friend?" he asked hopefully. "Transfigurations is slowly killing my will to live."

Ashlyn smiled before kicking the chair opposite her at the table out. "Oh, come off it, Tranfigurations will not kill your will to live. I won't let it," she replied calmly as she finished writing up her sentence. "Now. What about it is so frustrating to you?"

Ashlyn was always glad to see Sieffre. He knew just what to say to make her feel better on crummy days. They'd known each other since they were first starting out; a love for football helped out, but after she found out he was in the feminist club...he was on her permanent list of good blokes. "You do realize, though, that we've only got an hour or so to get this figured out and finished up, yeah?" Not that she wouldn't spend more time with him; she just had to get up to the Transfiguration room to set up for the feminist club meeting, and she was willing to put 5 pounds on Sieffre helping her out anyways.

"All of it." Sieffre had never been good at Transfigurations. And he probably never would be. He forced himself, because it was a necessary evil for students planning to become healers, but he always passed by the skin of his teeth...and Ashlyn's help. "I'm just awful at Conjuring Spells. I didn't have trouble with that Ferula spell we were working on last time...but that made sense! Creating a splint, I see the usefulness of that, but when am I ever going to need to conjure birds? Name one reason I would need to perform that spell in every day life!"

He rested his forehead against his arms, worn out from ranting. He tended to go into diatribes when it came to Transfigurations. He looked at his watch as she spoke and groaned. "I remember," he assured her. "This is going to kill me, isn't it?" He would help her set up the room, he was just stressed out. He wished the subject came as easy to him as it did to her. "If I'm still hopeless when it's time to go set up, maybe we can continue studying after the meeting? Together, I mean..." Now, if that wasn't subtle...he found himself wishing that talking to Ashe were as easy as Transfigurations...and that was saying something.

"Maybe not birds, but perhaps the reason we're starting off with birds is that it's a small object and we'll eventually apply the theory to larger objects. Like chairs, or...or a gurney or what have you," she said simply. "She's just building up to it, I think."

She pulled out her Transfiguration text book to leaf through it. "Okay, so...I know you said you don't understand any of it, but what's really confusing you?" she asked as she got to the correct page. She stared up at him. He was such a good, kind friend; she was rather glad to have him around, even when he needed loads of help with his Transfiguration work. "And yes, we can still work on it after the meeting. It might even be better since we'll be up in the room. We can practice it and such."
