Suoh had managed to find his way to the library. It was an average sized one, though didn't compare to the library's back in his homeland. He was dressed in british muggle clothes, which had always been his favorite since his youth. He was a pureblood, but seemed to not care much about wizarding blood in general. He was a metamorphous and could change his appearance at any moment, which he was quite well known for doing. People had a hard time trying to figure out who he was simply because he never kept one look for a long period of time.

Suoh sighed as he sat in a large armchair, one of his favorite books in hand that he had brought from home. He took out a muggle device called an Ipod that he had advanced with magic and put the small earbuds into his ears, cranking up the volume, he went into a world of his own, with only his music and book as his guide. He put on the song 'Pride' by one of his favorite Japanese bands HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR. He then opened his book to the bookmarked page and was immeadately asorbed into the book.

His black converse muggle shoes tapped to the beat of the song. His ripped, faded muggle jeans fit him well, not to baggy, but not tight either. He wore a black tee-shirt, ripped in places and replaced with an almost army-like print. A large pirate skull patch embriodered into the front. His hair was messy, black with red highlights. His currenly hazel brown eyes skimmed over words as he continued to read. He had no idea he was being watched....

[Song Lyric translation:]
Life Goes On, passionately.
As long as I am alive,
Even if I were to lose sight of my real self,
Life Goes On, I want to protect it.
My heart was shattered,
And in these eyes that have seen true sorrow,
Love is overflowing.

[Ginny Weasley]

Having a pet took alot of work and she knew that completely when her mum purchased Arnold for her. Ginny had been searching for a book on Pygmy Puffs so that she would know more about her pet. She thought of asking Fred and George which she had done earilier but she wanted more information. She was now in the creatures section, the one place that she could see Hagrid be in The Library. Unfourtunaly, there was only one book that probably had something about Pygmy Puffs.

The tittle of the book; "The Magical Pygmy Creatures of the Wizarding World." by Felicity Doperskin. The book was huge. It could take the place of two dictionaries. When she took it out, the weight over powered her and she had to bend down because she couldn't keep it up. Arnold jumped off of her shoulder and rolled himself under a chair. A chair in which someone else was sitting in. He seemed to be wearing muggle clothing she thought noticing something familiar that Dean had once shown her. She thought she heard a faint mumer, that was the music from his device but she didn't know that.

Shaking the dust off of her pants that had rubbed off of the old looking book, she was able to pick up the book and run to a nearby table and put it down. She looked at the boy carefully. She didn't want to desterb him but she was getting worried about Arnold. A pygmy puff was maybe the size of a child's fist, nearly half her own. The last time he had gotten away from her clutches, he had been lost for a whole two days. She looked from him to the space under his sofa. "er...excuse me." she started to say. What if he couldn't hear her?

[Suoh Yoshi]

Suoh, unaware of the situation at hand continued to read his book, brown eyes skimming over the pages. It had just gotten to his favorite part, it was so intense even a slight disruption might throw him from his chair. His muscles were tense just from the vivid description, written in Japanese. He clutched the leather-bound book dearly, music still blasting in his ears. His heart raced as Juo, the main character was about to kill his best friend Kami for being a dishonor to the Samurai clan they were apart of.

Suoh had read this particular book nearly a dozen time, but the suspense got to him everytime. His entire body would likely explode of the pressure was any more severe, but he knew it wouldn't considering the number of times he had read it. He continued reading his book in silence, completely unaware of his surroundings...

[Ginny Weasley]

Ginny didn't remove her gaze away from the boy. What was she going to do? She took steps and was two feet away from him. She could now see how absorbed he was in his book. Wondering if he were like Hermione or in Ravenclaw, she struggled. His legs were blocking her hand from reaching Arnold but she looked for a gap. Though there was one, still Ginny didn't want to be rude. She looked around and then quickly dropped to the gound. "Arnold get back here..please!" Ginny pleaded with her Pygmy Puff.

[Suoh Yoshi]

Reaching the cliff-hanging end of the chapter, Suoh looked up to see if anyone had entered the seculed part of the library. An eyebrow raised as he saw a red-headed girl on the floor quite close to his chair. She was obviously looking for something, or one he supposed. He pulled his legs up into the chair where he sat and continued to watch her with mild curiousity. His eyebrow still highly arched with confusion. He wasn't sure if it was a normal british custom to dust the floor with their bodies, but if it was he wouldn't be one to stop this girl.

Suoh placed an old bookmark into the leather-bound book and closed it. He turned down his magic-included muggle Ipod enabling himself to listen to anything the girl may have to say. He heard her mention the name 'Arnold' and thought maybe she was talking to him.
"My name is Suoh."
Suoh said in his near perfect english, yet still laced heavily with a Japanese accent. His brown eyes watched the girl closely, still not sure what he should think of her...

[Ginny Weasley]

Ginny had a grip on Arnold's round body but then lost it. If she could catch a snitch, why couldn't she get a grip on her Pygmy Puff? She jumped back hitting her head on the chair when she heard a voice. Ginny sat up full of confusion. Her hair was russtled, she was sitting unformfortably, and to add to it, the front of her cloths were dusty. Ginny half smiled at the boy whose feet were pulled back.

"My name is Suoh."

"Nice to meet you but I..." Ginny dived back to the floor again. "Aaaaarrrrrrnnnnoooollllllllllllllllddddddddddddddd.." said she while reaching and reaching. Hardly giving up Ginny sat back up brushing herself off and then was soon again on the ground. Since Ginny had to close her eyes from the dust intering her eyes, she wasn't able to see what Arnold was doing. From below his chair, a small fuzzy ball began to roll out.

[Suoh Yoshi]

Suoh was very confused at this point and the look on his face only proved just how confused he was. He suddenly caught a glimpse of a small pink fluff ball rolling out from under his chair. He smirked and chuckled lightly. He made a mad grab for the small creature, knowing all to well that it was a pygmy puff. One of his close friends back in Japan had one as a pet. He wasn't completely sure if he had grabbed the small creature or not as he slowly began pulling his hand back up towards himself. His eyes were watching this strange red-headed girl. He had always wanted to turn his hair bright red like hers. Even being a metamorphous, he had never been able to achieve such hair...

[Ginny Weasley]

Ginny stopped moving for long enough to think I must look mad right now She felt foolish but she was determined to get her pet. That's when she realised something. Ginny sat up and got out her wand. It was silly of her to not use magic when she could at a time like this. She looked at Suoh for a minor second. "Accio Arnold." Ginny waved her wand in a way that worked with the spell but wasn't the exact way Professor Flitwick had said to. Ginny's hand that was held up dropped to her side and she frowned. Why hadn't it worked? Ginny was getting fustrated.

[Suoh Yoshi]

Suoh realized that he had the small pygmy puff in his possesion.
"Is this what you were looking for?"
Suoh asked as he held the small pink fluff ball in his hand. A curious gaze upon his face. For some reason he couldn't find himself able to take his eyes away from her. He adored her hair more than anything, but he found her quite pretty in general. A small smile fell over his lips for the first time in over a year...

[Ginny Weasley]

Ginny hit her wand against her palm as if it would suddenly make her spell work. "Accio, accio, accio.." Ginny looked like she was in a zone as she stuffed her wand into her pocket. Her eyes went from his face to his hands quickly. "When....?" Ginny smiled turning red from embaressment. The last time she had turned scarlet was when she had yelled at Ron in her previous year but that was out of anger. This time it was because she thought of herself as stupid at the moment. She turned even redder when she compared herself to Neville and his toad. now I know how Neville feels

Sitting on her knees, Ginny nodded to his question and picked Arnold up. She couldn't frown at her pet no matter how much she tryed. "Thanks." I think... Ginny put a charm on Arnold so that he could only get a half a feet away from her and held him firmly yet gently. "I'm Ginny Weasley." she told the boy still remembering his name. Ginny extended her hand, first the one with Arnold in it. Once she noticed what she had done, she switched Arnold onto her other hand and put out her hand again.

[Suoh Yoshi]

Suoh chuckled as the girl took 'Arnold' the pink pygmy puff back into her own hands. He had wished for a pet of his own and was planning to buy one soon. When he heard the girl mention her name, he smiled a true smile.
"Nice to meet you Miss Weasley."
Suoh replied polietely. Having grown up around the royal family in Japan, upon meeting new people he was usually quite polite. This was not as an insult, but simply something he was quite used to doing...

[Ginny Weasley]

Ginny was greatly interested on why he was being polite. Usually the boys she met were casual or if in the chance that they were too polite as this boy, they were either teasing her, trying to make her angry, or was trying to charm her which she didn't like very much. She wanted him to act like he would any where but she wasn't sure if he was. She had only just met him after all. Ginny examined her cloths not looking mortifyed as the super girly girls would. She simply did a cleaning charm and she looked as good as new. All the time, Ginny had been wanting to ask the boy, whose name was Suoh a question but held it in and replaced it with a regular question. "What house are you in?"

[Suoh Yoshi]

"Ravenclaw"
Suoh responded simply. He watched the Ginny's puffball that tried to free himself from Ginny's reach. Suoh tended to be easily distracted, which had never been a good thing considering his family's social life back home in Japan.
"May I ask what house Miss Weasley is in?"
Suoh asked, his voice laced with his usual Japanese accent.

[Ginny Weasley]

"Oh Gryffindor." she said feeling a tug from Arnold. She could tell that he was looking at her pet but she didn't mind because Arnold usually got alot of attention, atleast at first. She wasn't sure where to go with this. "Do you want to hold him?" Ginny wondered about his accent mixed with his choosing of clothing. He looked Brittish but sounded asian. She had no idea he was Japanese but didn't want to ask 'are you chinese or japanese' as many asked. Besides, it was steriotyping which she also disliked quite a bit. She was much steriotyped because of her family.

[Suoh Yoshi]

Suoh shook his head.
"No thank you. You can keep him. May I ask though where you got him?"
Suoh asked Ginny, considering sending one back to his friends in Japan if they were not to exspensive. His brown eyes glanced around the small corner of the library and he smiled. Suoh planned that he would spend quite a bit of time here...
