Quill

Lily scribbled furiously, the essay for potions was due after her free period and she still had another seven inches to go. He parchment was riddled with ink splatters from her haste and there were messily crossed out segments every second or third sentence. She didn't really care. As long as she got it done and it was correct, the professor couldn't really call her on presentation. She muttered angrily to herself as the minutes ticked by and didn't notice the only other person in the Library, save the nasty old bat of a Librarian. Scorpius smiled as she swore heavily, then using her quill to scratch out her last sentence.

She sighed and ran her hand over her face, and Scorpius bit his lip as his smile grew. He noticed how cute she was when frustrated, but knew that if he even attempted to talk to her in this state she would probably castrate him. He almost laughed as she shook her head, the smudgy ink stain on her right cheek now more prominent to him. She banged her head on the table with a dull thud, thankfully this time away from the wet black ink. Lily then sat up straight and cracked her fingers in a way that cause Scorpius to cringe from each separate sound.

Lily took up the quill once more in her ink splattered fingers and took a deep breath before setting the tip of the inked nib to the parchment once more, letting her scribbling resume hastily. Scorpius sighed, quietly of course; It was a Library after all, and resumed his slow an precise note taking from his text book for his next Defence against the Dark Arts class. It was only minutes later that Scorpius heard a loud snap and a sudden pause in the constant scribbling from just meters away. He looked up to see Lily staring horrified at the quill in her hands, the end hanging by just a feathery thread from the rest of the long plume.

'Oh, Merlin. No, no, please… Oh bloody hell no…' she dropped it and almost hysterically started to search her bag. Scorpius could hear the constant string of curses coming from her mouth and knew that Madame Pince would hear them soon, causing Lily even less dislike from the elderly lady. Scorpius decided now would be a good time to intervene. He stood swiftly and grabbed his own spare quill from the table, walking straight from his table to hers. He stopped besides her and cleared his throat. Lily looked up in shock, realizing she had been caught practically yelling obscenities in the Library, and by her brother's best friend no less. Just as she opened her mouth to explain, Scorpius lifted his hand and dropped the new quill on the table. He smiled quickly at her and turned around, heading straight back to his own work. Lily stared after him and smiled. Then she turned back to her essay with a renewed determination.
