♣ 006 - Action

[sniffsbutt]

[Sirius is in the library, going through every shelf, looking for something. He and James have had a lot of talks about searching for the supposed mystery the library contains so they can find out what, if anything, it has to do with them.

But with all the mansion's plots, events, and shenanigans, it hasn't happened. So Sirius takes it upon himself to actually dig around there, and see for himself what the library has to offer. He's not being secretive about it; in fact, he'd probably welcome the help. The more eyes looking, the better!]

[Dave's in the library to see if he can get inspired. He's been in a bit of a creative funk, and staying in his room didn't help. Now, here he is, in the library, with someone else looking around.

Damn curiosity.]

Sup. Whatcha lookin' for?

[sniffsbutt.livejournal.com]

[Sirius looks up, a book that he's just pulled off the shelf in his hands.]

Oh, you know, a book or two.

[He leafs through the book's pages before putting it back.]

I just haven't found the right one. What're you looking for?

[urnewkingbitch.livejournal.com]

[He shrugs.]

Anythin' that catches my interest. Lookin' for somethin' specific?

[sniffsbutt.livejournal.com]

[He casually flips his hair out of his eyes.]

Maybe.

I was looking for a series of books. Someone here mentioned it to me and my best mate, James. She said it has something to do with our futures.

[He shrugs.]

I tried getting it out of her, but she was pretty tight-lipped. Said she wanted to have a bit of a think.

[urnewkingbitch.livejournal.com]

[A book detailing their future? Sounds like bullshit, but then again...anything is possible.]

She didn't happen to say what it was or any clues?

[Hn, how many books does he know of with a character named James who can do magic?

...He can think of one series, but oh man.]

Mansion probably doesn't want spoilers, though. Name's Dave Strider, by the way.

[Dave has to make sure this is who he thinks this is!]

[sniffsbutt.livejournal.com]

[It may turn out to be nothing more than bollocks, but until he finds out for himself, he's going to keep searching.]

Apparently it's called the Harry Potter series, but I haven't the foggiest idea what that has to do with me or James. I don't know any Harry Potter, and neither does he.

[Sirius looks intrigued by Dave's mention of spoilers.]

By spoilers, you mean things that might be in this Harry Potter series?

[Sirius grins at Dave.]

My name's Sirius Black.

[urnewkingbitch.livejournal.com]

[Aw fuck.]

Don't think I've heard of that one. Then again, I come from a gun-totin', Bible-thumpin' state with a sports problem. Congress should just hire Doctor Phil to help fix it.

[Dave shrugs.]

S'what I'm guessin'. Knowin' the future might not be a good thing sometimes.

[sniffsbutt.livejournal.com]

[Most of that just goes over Sirius's head, but he doesn't bat an eye.]

Right. So what that means is, I have loads more searching to do.

[He sighs, maybe a touch more dramatically than is necessary.]

That's what she told me. Beiste, I mean. She's the one who told us about the books. But, I think I'd like to know what's coming so I'll be ready for it.

[urnewkingbitch.livejournal.com]

Pretty much.

[He shakes his head.]

You'll be prepared while you're here, bro, but not when you get back. You forget all about the shit you did here until you come back.

[sniffsbutt.livejournal.com]

Of course, I could just forget what I heard and give up trying, but come on, mate... What's the point in that? Even if I end up going home and forgetting all of this, I still want to know.

[Sirius stares at Dave, more determined than ever.]

[urnewkingbitch.livejournal.com]

Got a point there. I've got nothin' better to do today, so guess I can help out a bit.

[sniffsbutt.livejournal.com]

Brilliant. I could use an extra set of eyes, if you know what I mean.

[Sirius's smile is back, and he pulls another book off the shelf.]

Right, then. We're looking for anything that says Harry Potter on it.

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

[How strange, Beiste just happens to be walking by.

What's Sirius doing in there?

Oh, crap.]

Sirius...?

[sniffsbutt.livejournal.com]

[Oh, look, it's Beiste.

Sirius grins at her.]

Hello, there! What brings you here?

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

Just...walkin' by. What about you?

[sniffsbutt.livejournal.com]

Oh, nothing, just looking for those books you mentioned.

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, that's what she thought.]

You know how I feel about that.

[sniffsbutt.livejournal.com]

Of course I do. Listen, I can't just not go looking for them. I have to know what happens.

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

[Sigh.]

What difference do you think it'll make? If it's written in a book, do you really think you can change anything?

[Not to mention he'll probably figure out that, as far as she was concerned, he wasn't real until she came to this place...]

[sniffsbutt.livejournal.com]

You're right, it might not make a difference. But I have to know what's in those books.

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

[She scratches her neck and looks away.]

I guess there's no discouraging you now.

What're you going to do when you find them?

[ Conan is in the library as always, and he sees someone that looks like they're looking for a book. ]

Were you looking for a specific book, mister?

[ action ]

[sniffsbutt.livejournal.com]

Have you heard of something called the Harry Potter series?

{He looks up from his scrutiny of a book he's just pulled off the shelves.]

[ action ]

[walkingdesuno.livejournal.com]

Harry...Potter.... [ think think ]

I think I've heard kids...my friends talk about it. Is it the children's book about wizards and witches?

[ Conan had absolutely no interest in it so he doesn't know much ]
