Video/Action

[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?!]

[She comes into the study area where he is, and raises her eyebrows]

You'll never pass your NEWTS if you spend more time levitating your books than you do working.

[Chekov, a seventh year Ravenclaw and one of the more studious students present, slides over to Ginsberg's table, toting his own stack of books and a messenger bag with him.]

You obviously have levitation mastered.

[Penny, a 5th year Hufflepuff who is also doing her level best to not study, shyly picks her way over to Ginsberg's table after seeing his post (not that she was looking at stuff like that when she was supposed to be studying, of course). She doesn't really know him, but she's seen him around and they obviously have being bad at things in common, so this is a good time to be brave and talk to people.]

Is this the table for everyone who's bad at everything?
