Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ella had given Alice a promise that she would open their beloved Literary Society this year. Alice had a lot on her plate this year, and Ella had a lot less to do. Besides, this was their seventh year, meaning their last chance to open the club. Dressing up in a fancy outfit, she hoped that it would help make the day seem a bit more special. She tried a few times to tie up her hair, but eventually she decided to just leave it down. That was her usual hairstyle anyway. She lifted up a few books, then carried everything to the library. She set up a fancy sign she'd drawn, announcing their club meeting.

She set out a small stack of sign-in forms beside the sign, her books sitting on the table. They were a super fancy edition of the series she'd read over the summer, and she was quite hoping to share the books with her friends. She also worked to set up a small display using some fancy book stands she'd gotten. There. It looked lovely! Now she just had to hope Alice liked it too. Ella had even tried to bake Linsey's shortbread cookies, but all she'd managed to succeed in making was fire. But at least Sebastian had been close by and was able to put out the fire. Maybe Alice would have snacks (even though they technically weren't allowed in the library)

It was her final year at Hogwarts and that meant she was very emotional about all the clubs and activities she was involved in. The Hogwarts Literary Society was a big one because it was the club that her and her best friend had formed together. It was their baby and it was surprisingly popular. With more than just Ravenclaws too. Everyone was gathering together to share their love of books and reading. She knew she was probably going to cry at the first meeting since it would her last first meeting of the club. Alice was running late, which was odd for her, but she was super busy preparing for everything that she had to do for the rest of the week. After grabbing the books that she wanted to share with the club this year, she stuffed them into her magical purse, then dressed in a nice dress. The teen then grabbed her boyfriend's Quidditch hoodie and pulled it on since it was already starting to get cold in the castle. Then she headed down to the library, hugging Ella when she got down there. "I'm already gonna cry and that's going to ruin my makeup," she said, already feeling tears welling in her eyes.
