``Asleep on the desk [Caleb]

[morgana]

Fourteen year old Morgana Selwyn was in the library, seated on her own. The desk was piled up with all sorts of books and the blonde Slytherin was bent over a scroll of parchment, scribbling furiously. She had completely forgotten about the Potions essay that was due in two days, and was now racing against time. Luckily for her, she had remembered in time and decided to devote these days entirely to the essay.

At around 4 in the afternoon, she let out a long sigh and rested her head on the desk. Morgana stiffled a yawn and started flicking through the pages of her textbook. She had been awake all night to finish the essay and was now beyond exhausted. Before she knew it, she feel asleep on the desk. Several hours later, Meggy felt someone shaking her.

She woke up with a start almost falling off the chair and mumbled, "Yes yes... I have it here professor Snape." She hastily grabbed the parchment and trusted it into Caleb's hands. When her eyes focused on the older Ravenclaw, Meg looked up at him in confusion. She rubbed her eyes tiredly and then offered Caleb a smile before saying sheepishly, "Hi."

As much as Caleb enjoyed being in a school like this, which he hardly shows, he wore his black suit with blue stripes along the side of his suit. He had his Ravenclaw badge on his chest pocket, making it look outstanding. He was known for his bad temper hence most people did not want to be 'too' close to him. He was in the library, one of the most popular place for the Ravenclaw. He has his own corner for himself most of the time unless his friends decided to hang around with him.

He had just handed up his parchment of a research to Professor Snape before making his way towards the library. He entered in and looked around, wondering which book should he bother wasting his time on reading today. Before he grabbed him a book, he noticed his seat was taken. Strange, no one dares to take his seat except those prank Slytherins and to his luck, that person is from Slytherin. Caleb walked up to her and shook her hard to get her to wake up. He could care less if she would complain or make him miserable.

As she trusted him a parchment, Caleb glanced at it before narrowing his eyes. Caleb tossed the parchment back to her and said, "Out..." He said that coldly. She maybe attractive but Caleb was not here to find him a girlfriend. He was only here to graduate, find him a future job and nothing else.

Morgana eyed the boy with a faint smile on her lips. He was so tall and handsome. And then he threw back her parchment. Morgana caught the essay in her hands and kept looking up at him as he told her... no ordered her to get out. She replaced the scroll on the desk and looked up at him quizzically. She pushed the chair backwards and stood up to face him. Meggy placed her hands on either side of her hips and asked hotly, "I beg your pardon?" She narrowed her eyes and added boldly, "You have no right to kick me or anyone else from the library. This is a public place." She folded her arms over her chest and hmphed loudly.

Caleb just kept his gaze. He had no time to waste on her. Perhaps, he should not be in the library in the first place. Looks like he made a wrong decision today. Caleb lifted his head up slowly while she pushed the chair back and got up, looking at him, waiting for an answer from Caleb. "Typical." That was all he said. He straightened his attire before turning around leaving her standing up in fury. Caleb did not want to waste his time with her, aruging about that matter.

Clearly, she knew nothing about him hence, she might not be in the same year as he was. He was not petty enough or rude enough to pull her away from his desk and get seated down even though he wanted to do that. After all, he is a Ravenclaw. Not really a wise thing to offend a Slytherin much. Walking away, might be the wrong move too, but Caleb just did not want to create big commotion in a quiet place like this.

[morgana]

Meggy blinked a couple of times after hearing the boy's words. Morgana scratched the back of her head and repeated, "Typical?"while wondering what was wrong with the Ravenclaw. She watched him turn on his heel and storm away. And then it her. Her mouth parted to form a small 'o' and she glanced down at her Slytherin robes and groaned loudly. Great, she had just stumbled into another biased student. Morgana was sick of others avoiding her or insulting her just because she was in Slytherin. She shoved her belongings into her bag and ran to catch up with the boy. After pulling into a comfortable stride beside him, she hauled her bag properly over her shoulder and looked up at Caleb. Morgana cleared her throat and said, "Excuse me?" Her eyes widened and she had a doe like expression on her face, looking every ounce innocent and curious. "What did you mean with that typical?" She paused and looked at Caleb expectantly. However, before he had the time to reply she added "I mean... you don't even know me, right?"

[lance]

Caleb clearly ignored her as she questioned him or even herself. He was still making his way out of the library and when he did, he looked around at the path wondering which way he should go. He did thought of just heading back to his common room to rest for the day. He turned to make his way towards his common room and it was then he realised someone was catching up to him, that same girl he nearly had confrontation with earlier. He glanced at her from the corner of his eyes and rolled it when she gave him that girlish look.

Caleb was not even interested in answer her until she stated that he knew not much about her. She was right but he simply answered, "Not needed." Caleb just kept walking, trying to ignore her presence. He was getting a little annoyed by her. He hoped she stopped it soon otherwise he might be nasty and he did not want to do so because he definitely did not want to be the cause of depleting the house points.

[morgana]

Morgana pursed her lips into a pout and folded her arms over her chest. Nevertheless, she kept walking by his side in silence. She could tell he was trying to ignore her and it was unlikely that he would actually speak to her. She sighed to herself before saying cheerfully, "I'm Morgana Selwyn. But you can call me Meggy, even though you are being rather rude." Megs looked at the boy hopefully and continued, "What's your name?" Morgana pushed her hair behind her ear and scratched the tip of her nose absentmindedly.

Apprently, she kept hanging around by his side. Great, now that he had a Slytherin girl following him, beside him, what is he going to do now to get rid of her? Of course, escaping to his common room is always the best option, but he was not likely to run. He never runs. His uncle and aunt taught him many things and one of them is never to be rude. He had to survive in this place. This is no longer his safety zone. He needed rudeness to survive those annoying Slytherins. She just proved herself that she is a typical Slytherin. He did looked at her, coldly when she said that he was being rude but he soon looked away from her and continued walking on.

It took him a while before he decided to respond her, "Caleb. Caleb Danvers." He slotted his thumbs into his pockets while walking coolly. He did not want anyone to walk up with him and rumored him with this annoying Slytherin. That was the last thing he needed. He always reminded himself, he was not here to date or be in love. That explained why all balls, he was always somewhere else, alone. He was used to it here. As he speed up his steps a little, his necklace started to dangle around his neck, swaying and hitting his chest lightly every now and then.

[morgana]

Meggy's face broke into a grin when he answered her questions. "Caleb? I like your name," she told him genuinely. Her smile faltered when he increased his pace and Morgana struggled to keep up with him. She watched him dig his hands into his pockets. Her eyes traveled to his chest and she stared at the necklace dangling around his neck. Morgana folded her arms behind her back and stated, "You don't like me." She stepped in front of him and turned to face Caleb. "Is it because I'm in Slytherin?" Megs tilted her head to one side and looked up at the Ravenclaw wide eyed. "Can you not be like the others please?" her question was somewhat tinted with hurt.

[lance]

Caleb wanted to really jinx all girls to stop walking up to him and speak to him. They all think that they knew him but none of them in this school does. Hell not even his own self. To create less problem for the future is to block out all possibilities now. When she stated that she like his name, Caleb glanced at her for a short while before looking away. It was when she spoke that he did not like her, he frowned a little. She was really getting on his nerves. The moment she stood in front of him, blocking his way, he gritted his teeth. He was just in a couple of seconds away from doing something really bad. He managed to control himself while looking at her, showing her how annoyed he was getting,

"I don't hate you... I dislike you." Caleb said with a slight growl in his tone. He listened to her stating that he was treating her that way due to the fact she is in Slytherin. When she asked if he could be not like the others, Caleb straightened himself before walking past her and answering to her at the same time, "I'm nothing like the others... I prefer to be alone." Caleb glared at her from the corner of his eyes as he walked past. He doesn't really hate anyone unless they touched his uncle and aunt.

[morgana]

Morgana's face saddened and she retreated backwards, as if all of a sudden Caleb was some vicious monster. "I...I... understand," she stammered softly. Morgana braced her arms around her body and stared down at her feet as Caleb walked past her. It was different having someone actually tell her they disliked her, especially someone she had just meet. She lifted her head slightly when Caleb spoke. Morgana sighed and muttered in a quavering voice, "Oh I see..." She turned around and stepped a couple of paces forwards. Meggy stopped in her tracks and calling after him. "Caleb? I am sorry. I never meant to annoy you." She paused and shrugged to herself wile adding softly, "I was trying to make friends."

[lance]

Caleb knew he might have outdone it this time. She looked younger and most likely could not handle such situation. Caleb hated himself for having to be that harsh on her. Though, he could not let the soft heartened to get in the way. He heard her footsteps but it was soon stopped and he wondered what might just made her do so. He did not know why but he did thought perhaps the crowd was getting into her way. He turned around and caught his eyes on her. When she called his name, he frowned slightly and waiting for her to continue. As she apologised, Caleb calmed himself down, and the frown slowly faded away.

He had to be cold to her. He did not need people poking into his business. He learned that for the past few years in Hogwarts, "Wrong person." All he did was answered that before walking up to her. He looked down at her, knowing that she was upset, clearly, was obvious, he let out a soft sigh and said, "I know it's hard... I'm not the one. You wouldn't want to be friends with me." He placed his hand on her head before removing it and walked away, moving to the area that has lesser crowd.

[morgana]

Morgana instinctively backed away when Caleb started walking towards her. She had to force herself to remain stationery as he drew nearer and nearer. Meggy nodded in response and pouted slightly. As his hand came in contact with her head, she lifted her shoulders and closed her eyes... evidentially startled by his sudden gesture. Morgana opened one way and watched Caleb move to the side. Despite herself, Meggy hurried after him. She was starting to feel intrigued by Caleb. Besides the more he insisted they shouldn't be more friends, the more she would want to get to know him. "Why not?" she asked curiously. Morgana nibbled her lower lip and continued, "I don't think you are really rude. I think you just want to keep people away." Pause. "I won't tell anyone if that's what is worrying you."

[lance]

Caleb did thought that might made her stop following him and being irritating but he was wrong. She caught up to him and started asking questions and making assumptions like everybody that wanted to be friends with him and he turned them away. He kept his cold expression while responding back to her. He did sigh a little before doing so, "Words travel fast... even if you didn't." Everything in Hogwarts travel fast. As long as someone witness it, the next thing you knew, it might be the big news in school or the common rooms but still the whole school will know. So, even if someone claimed they would not say it, it will spread in a way or two. No point keeping that promise when there are loop holes.

He soon reached the ground floor and headed out. Before he did, he turned to look at her, "Listen... Which part of 'I prefer to be alone', don't you understand?" He looked down at her, trying to get her to understand. He was heading out, at this hour, she did not have the permission to do so. Then again, not many people care as long as they don't get caught or entering the Forbidden Forest. "Go back and stay there. Stop tagging me." He turned around and walked into the sunset. As he did, he grabbed the necklace of his, gripping it tight while his figure faded.

[morgana]

The fact that he hadn't actually told her to leave gave her hope. She continued skipping behind him and groaned loudly at his words. "I'm good at keeping secrets," she commented. She noticed they were going downstairs and Morgana was curious to see where Caleb was going. Soon enough, the reached the Great Oak doors leading to the grounds. Morgana stopped abruptly when Caleb turned to face her. She laughed softly at his question and said, "Mother says I am incapable of following orders." She threw her hands in the air at his next words and pouted. Morgana folded her arms over her chest and said, "Ok fine... see you around." She hid behind the partially closed door and waited a couple of minutes before slipping outside and following Caleb at a safe distant.
