Dreaming the Day - OPEN

[Deleted]

For anyone who knew the Dragic family well, also knew that Alice
was named for the muggle book- Alice in Wonderland. So now of
course, When Ms. Dragic read her name sake it often brought on a
sense of familiarity and amusement. She actually liked the author’s
perception, and saw metaphors to reality in every word- like so
many other readers. Still Alice Dragic sighed, like someone letting
go of a strong emotion, and placed the worn book on the floor beside
her. She had read it so many times that she didn’t need to continue
at the moment to feel a sense of conclusion. Instead her blue eyes
changed to brown in boredom and scanned the large Library for any
disturbances. When Alice couldn’t find any, She leaned back in the
cushioned chair that held her. “Don’t fall asleep, don’t fall asleep,
don’t fall asleep…” Alice whispered to herself in a mantra, but felt
her eye lids grow heavy. She placed her pale hands over her dark
Amber robes where her stomach laid beneath and drifted off.

[FELIX FAIRBOURNE]

Felix was quite often nose-deep in a good book, and he has often annoyed some of his friends in the past by completely - but unintentionally - ignoring them due to being so engrossed in a book. Sometimes he was reading up on new charms, or methods used in his area, but mostly he preferred to read fictional literature, enjoying the ways that a well-written book can provoke all manners of emotions and feelings, just from reading words on a page. Books can make a person feel happy, sad, embarassed, enthralled, seduced or even excited, and Felix didn't know what he would do without books in his life. He had his own personal library in his study, but it was nowhere near as well-stocked as the main library, so he often went down there to enjoy its wonders.

For once, Felix looked up and saw that the resident Hogwarts librarian was also reading a book. She then placed the book on the floor beside her and sank into what looked like a very comfy chair and began to fall asleep. Felix, thinking that she perhaps wouldn't want to fall asleep on a shift, noted his page number down, closed the book and began to walk over to the librarian. "Miss Dragic?" Felix said quietly as he leaned against a counter, looking at her."Has it been a long day?" Felix said with a smile.
