Games are Afoot Part 3

[Chase Connors]

Chase took the steps two at a time. He wanted to get everything set up and in place with enough time for him to dash back to his dorm and get changed. He shouldn't have been running around the school like an idiot becuase he was sweating like a pig now.

He slipped into the library and did nothing but stare around. He could see students sitting working, some alone and some in groups but where could he leave his next note so that Emily could find it but no one else?

The window at the far side of the room caught his eye. Had he not seen her sitting near that window to study a few times? Damn... but what if she didn't see it?

Chase looked at the old librarian and he considered giving it to her to pass on. He abandoned that idea quickly too and headed for the window, trying to find a way to prop the note up without it being glaringly obvious.

Well... the longer it took, the more time he'd have to get sorted.

Em,

Your journey’s still not over yet. To the wall of writing next, I’ll bet.

[Emily Prescott]

Emily grumbled under her breath as she dodged someone else she knew as they left the library, she pressed herself behind a wall. It wasn't as though she didn't want to talk to anyone, she just didn't want to answer any of the questions her room mate had just fired at her as she left the astronomy tower.

Biting on her lip, she counted to ten and once she was sure she could no longer hear the voices of some of her friends Emily stepped out from behind the wall and carried on her way into the library. She shot a small smile at the librarian, clasping her hands behind her back as she looked around. There was no doubt in her mind that this was were she was expected to find another note, after all there was no way this could be the place of their date, so as quietly as she could Emily slowly walked deeper into the library, her eyes carefully scanning her surroundings.

It took a long 20 minutes before Emily dropped onto the sofa she so regulary sat in beside the large window in the library and sighed, wondering if she'd in fact come to the wrong place, but as she let her eyes scan the second note again, Emily knew this was the right place...then why couldn't she find..."Ha..." she exclaimed, wincing slightly when she realised she'd caught the attention of the librarian. Smiling sheepishly, she stood from her seat and walked towards the window, plucking the note up into her fingers and unfolding it.

"Wall of writing?" she whispered to herself, frowning ever so slightly. Biting down on her lip she shook her head and looked out the window, her mind racing to decipher the note. wall of writing... she really did hope this date was worth all this walking around, she certainly hadn't chosen the shoes for it. It took her another few minutes before a broad grin spread over her pretty face and she stood from the window ledge, her steps quiet as she quickly left the library, all the while wondering why in the world the note was taking her to the Hogwarts Bathrooms...
