Caspar had only been back to school a few days and he already had homework he was feeling horrible about it. not just because his dad had made him sign up to a load of classes he did not want to do. but that he expected him to want to do well and become like him when all he could think about was returning to the field and flying high. He sighed as he moved his head to move his hair. Stuffing his hands inside his robe he was making his way to the library nodding at a few people he knew passed by in the opposite way he was heading. He wasn't in his own head never really is but this summer was hard. He never really saw his dad before a few days here and there in summers past but he was home for the whole time this year. Putting pressure on Caspar to stop flying around all the time and think about a real career like his. This annoyed him, he sighed as he turned the corridor and saw the big library doors. 

Caspar was hoping that he would not have to see these doors until it was nearly time to study for exams. He shrugged his shoulders he did not seam himself and he could not believe that his dad was still getting to him even though he is out in the world and Caspar is at school. Taking a deep breath he stopped walking and lent against the wall. Surprisingly there was a small amount of people busing around. He guessed as classes had not be over for that long people were still mulling around and heading to do there own thing. Caspar on the other hand wanted to get his pile of homework finished before the weekend so he could use the whole weekend to train and play around on his broom. 

A thought crossed his mind that made him smile. He may ask his fellow gryffindor team mates and friends to have a friendly match or race. Smiling to himself me picked up his stuff and pushed off the wall walking toward the library entrance. He would put a memo up in the common room later he thought. 

Nina had been spending just about the entire time after classes in the library. Nina was a good student, and she studied hard. She had her favorite classes too. However, while good, she was far from perfect in all of her subjects... and she had a few not-so-favorite classes. Defense Against The Dark Arts was one of them. Seventh Year DADA was of course the most difficult of any year as they were preparing to go out into the world where there was a big possibility that they would have to put what they learned into effect some day. And it really didn't help having a professor like Zerod Grimp, who knew how to lay down the homework load. He was also one to make sure they had work that required them to go to the library to find information as opposed to just skimming through their text book. Nina almost wondered why she even bothered buying the text book.

She finally decided it was time for a break and something warm to drink given how chilly the weather was outside. Then it would be back to the books and hopefully she would be completely done by the time the library closed that evening.

Stepping out, she saw her Quidditch Teammate Caspar Howell. Caspar was really something personality wise, but Nina was something herself and because of their respective uniqueness, Nina tended to get along fairly well with him. She admired his work and effort on the Pitch as well. Gryffindor needed a strong team this year, and Nina hoped they would come out on top in her final year at Hogwarts. Caspar was a big help there, at least Nina thought so anyway. When she approached him, she gave her usual cheerful smile, despite her fatigue.

"Hello, love," she said. Nina called all her friends "love". "Doing a bit of studying as well? Don't tell me old Grimp loaded the Sixth years down with homework as well."

Caspar was in his own world he tended to be. Yes he was an arrogant,self-centred person most of the time he did try to be polite he did not snap out of his own little head until he heard a voice he knew, even though he was much more used to it shouting on the quiditch pitch. He turned his head shaking his thought out of his head. "Eerrgghh what.........no I mean I am going to do work but it's more complicated then that. If I don't do the classes my dad told me to take he would stop me from been able to play this year." He chuckled and messed with the bag on his shoulder he was not nerves just didn't really talk about his personal life with people.

Nina was older then him but he respected her she was a good player and he liked talking to her mostly about on the pitch stuff. " so apart from my babbling how was your summer I hope your ready to kick some butt on the pitch again this year." After he said that he realised how much of a fool he sounded but he still did not have to charm this girl. She was not really his type she was a nice girl and not bad looking but everyone had there types and she fell short off trend he thought it was her wired thing with the ape. He looked around " hay by the way we're your ape? He's usually attached to your hop isn't he?" He said in his usual casual smooth voice as his eyes wondered over her frame finally landing on her face with her fury red hair frame. His mind was running over all the things he wanted to tell her about the team and his plans for a cool chilled friendly with everyone in there house.

Nina knew she could never date a guy like Caspar. It wasn't so much that he was a year younger than her. She had no qualms about dating a Sixth Year. It was more about his attitude. Nina could be a bit cocky herself at times, but at the end of the day she had a sweetness about her and tried to show almost everyone a certain level of kindness and respect. She and Caspar really didn't mesh at all outside of what they did on the Quidditch Pitch. But that didn't mean she didn't consider him a friend. She could handle him well enough for that.

"Well, then you'd better get to it and get those O's," she chuckled. "It'll be a bloody task trying to find a new Keeper as good as you, and we really need you this year, especially when it comes to taking on Slytherin. They're none too happy with how we did last term and you know what Slytherin Quidditch Players are like when they come back with a vengeance." She remembered what they were like when she began playing Quidditch. She had never seen players so fierce, not even when her dad took her to professional games.

Nina shrugged about her summer.

"It was nice," she said. "Didn't do a whole lot. Mostly stayed at home or went to a few Pro Games with dad. You?" She then grinned when he spoke of kicking butt on the Pitch. "This is my last term. Of course I'm going to burn up the Pitch! They don't call me the Speed Demon for nothing, you know?"

She then crossed her arms when he spoke of how Amadeus always seemed to be with her. She hoped he secretly had nothing against the chimp.

"He's napping," she said. "And you have to understand, I inherited my dad's ability to talk to apes, so Amadeus and I are quite close. He's not just my pet. He's one of my best mates."
