[The library's supposed to be quiet, but keeping quiet has always been pretty difficult for him, and now's no different, even if he's meant to be studying for something or another -- he's already forgotten what. So when he turns the video on, he's sitting there with his feet up on a table, absentmindedly pointing his wand at a stack of books and making them levitate.]

I'm pretty sure this about the only thing I'm going to get out of these books, anyway. I mean, sure, everybody's studying, but it's the weekend. Doesn't anyone want to do something other than study for exams?

[He stops paying attention to what he's doing for a moment, in favor of addressing the video directly, and the books clatter onto the table with several thuds that earn him a glare from other, more studious individuals.]

Okay, okay, I can't be the only one who's pretty sure they're bad at every single class, right? So maybe we can all get together and commiserate. Or go somewhere other than the library. Somewhere other than the library sounds great. Who's with me?

[[OOC: He's a 7th year Hufflepuff, and he's not all that fond of school. In fact, he'd rather be doing just about anything than studying. Who wants to help him slack off?!]

You could just leave, you know. You're of age.

[just_displaced]

My dad would kill me. Maybe not literally.

[A long pause.]

Okay, maybe literally.

[instars]

Grow some balls, Ginsberg.

[Back to levitating books with an accompanying eye roll.]

You wouldn't be saying that if you knew my dad. And besides, what would I do if I left, anyway?

[instars]

Get a job?

[just_displaced]

I'd prefer that, but I mean, who's gonna hire the kid who dropped out of school in his last year?

[instars]

Pubs everywhere are waiting for you.

It would certainly keep you from levitating books I need in the library.

[just_displaced]

Feel free to take any of the books you want. I'm obviously not using them.

[instars]

Yes, obviously.

[just_displaced]

Hey, I can always say I'm practicing levitation. That's valuable, right?

[instars]

I don't know. Is it?

[just_displaced]

It's probably more useful than sitting here doing nothing at all. Probably.

[instars]

Honestly.

[She takes her book, thank you-]

I'll be leaving with this.

[just_displaced]

Good luck. Not that you probably need the luck, you'll do great, but good luck anyway.
