A thin beam of light shone though the gap where the curtains of his foreposter. The hot sunlight shone straight into his eyes. Yawning he stretched slightly and sat up, the sun was up! He spun around to look at the clock on the beside table, 11:30 am, it flashed. "Oh shit I'm so late" he jumped quickly to his feet and threw some clean robes on and brushed his hair quickly. He sprinted down into the common room and then ran down towards the library, as he got closer he pushed the door open and looked around. The library was a large chamber, with books filling it completely; it smelled of old parchment and always had loads of students working in it. As he looked around for Herms he noticed his sister, who was sitting with her one of her friends Jessi Riddle. She was very pretty girl he beautiful blue eyes sparkled normally and she was always happy. She had a perfect tan and long red hair which sat perfectly straight. Beth and Jessi would have to be two of the three most beautiful girls in the school. That was defiantly well known by the students. He looked at her for a moment then pulled his gaze away and searched for Herms, finding him in the corner of the library with his girlfriend Hallie. She was one of the other two prettiest girls in the school. She had long black hair which sat straight as well, beautiful green eyes that stare out any fool who tried with long eyelashes. He walked over and she jumped up as she saw him "Hey Joey" she jumped at him and latched onto him in a hug. He returned the hug and laughed as she sat back down on Herms's lap. "You two look so cute together ya'no?" he asked poking his tongue out. "Oh shuttup you" they both said at the same time.
He burst into laughter and sat beside them. "Sorry for being so late, I actually got a good nights sleep last night." He said quietly. "Yeah I noticed, you don't look like you died and was spat back out of hell" Herms laughed. "Not funny" he gave Herms the finger and smirked. He had a crush on Hallie for ages but he knew that he didn't have a chance with her as she was with Herms and even if he did… It was his best friends girlfriend… He couldn't do that! "Soo… what's happening?" he asked curiously "Nothing much just stole this book from the restricted section here have a look." Hallie replied. She was half vampire, and her smile showed this. He took the book in his hand and opened it. A sudden burning feeling ran down the back of his spine as he started to read. 'Lattomi Ferigos Temini' "what the hell? What language is this?" he asked curiously skimming through it confused. "That is the vampire spell language." Hallie replied while Herms kissed her cheek gently. "Now I need your help." She said quietly and got up again pulling Herms up with her. "Err… Last time you said that it wasn't good… why do I get the feeling that this is gonna be the same?" he asked nervously. "No no no its not trust me its okay." She replied quickly knowing he would say that. "Me and Herms are trying to set up our best mate with a girl. Who would you suggest, being quite popular that you would find totally dateable." She asked with a smug smile on her face. "Errr…" he replied he had a bad feeling he knew what she was talking about. "I don't know… Jessi?" he shrugged slightly. "Oh her. Why her?" She asked curiously looking over at Jessi and Beth. He shrugged. "I dunno, cause she's hot, nice, kind, and she's my sisters best friend so I know basically everything about her." Hallie looked over at Herms who smiled an evil grin back at her. "No you fucking well don't! you will not set us up! She's a lot better then me. I swear if you try I will…"
"We never said we were gonna" Hallie burst into laughter and Herms continued to grin. "I'm serious!" he half screamed yet keeping it so that him and a few others could hear it. "And I never said anything about you. Geez everything's always about YOU isn't it." She poked her tongue out teasing him. Your cruel did you know that? He asked wanting to flick her tongue but decided against it, as she would probably bite his finger again. "Well anyway here have a look at this." She said quickly distracting him from the conversation they were just having. She turned the page on the book to page 143. There was a vampire standing in a small picture, and the vampire seemed to be screaming. "What the f…" he whispered but realized that she didn't like swearing. "That's my mother…" Hallie said quietly, looking at the picture. "That's when she was arrested for drinking the blood of two witches and a wizard a couple of years ago. She was arrested and sentenced to death." She looked like she was about to cry. "Aww its okay hunni" Herms said quietly and wrapped his hands around her waist kissing her neck and cheek gently. She stared for a moment at him then smiled and nodded. "She is known as the best witch ever to be alive however so it doesn't really matter… I guess" She turned around and started to kiss Herms. "Oh god can you two make out somewhere else please?" he asked sounding slightly annoyed at this. "Aww you know you love this." Herms said quietly and poked his tongue out. "Fine we'll stop" Hallie grumbled and kissed him once more then turned around smiling. "You should join us sometime its lots of fun" She burst into laughter at his face. "No I will not make out with you and Herms at the same time sorry. At individual times that's okay." She burst into even harder laughing as he finished as Herms did as well. "See hunni" she was talking to Herms "I told you he had to be gay cause all hot guys are" she finished and he nipped her ear. "Hey that's not nice you say I'm hot!" he said pretending to be sad. "Yeah you are and you gotta be gay" she finished poking her tongue out.
"Oh god…" he looked at them both. "Listen guys I have to go see a teacher about a few classes that I was caught wagging so I'll catchas later." He waved and Hallie rolled her eyes. "Pathetic, I swear I'm going to tell your sister one of these days, imagine what shed say? What about your mother?" she poked her tongue out. "Oh god don't you dare tell my mother, you realize she would either kill me or disown me whichever she found more appealing?" he whispered. "I know I know I'm not going to. Anyway cutie, we'll see you later." She smiled and kissed him on the nose and gave him a hug. He returned it then smacked Herms on the back. "Look after ya sexy girl, or I'll have to steal her." He poked his tongue out and Herms flexed his mussels "Bring it hahaha oh wait you beat the shit outta ickle Flinty, I better not." He laughed and Joe gave him the finger and left the library heading towards the teachers staff room.
