Logan again contributed his own odd laugh, though he was at the very least somewhat comforted by the fact that Alaina's was as peculiar-sounding as his, now the stares were instead split between them, instead of being directed solely at him. It was a welcome to change, to have someone to be in mutual oddness with. Logan grinned when she complimented his choice of names, he did suppose that they were fitting, he had simply liked them at the time, they were whimsical. "I'll be r-rooting for y-you," said Logan, smiling again. Alaina seemed kind enough to work well with animals, though Grinch was particularly fussy about who got to be on his good side.

Alaina giggled a tad, " I expect to see a poster and some chanting then." She smiled, and looked down to her book. She can certainly say she approves of the new librarian. Alaina studied her cover, it was rather unique in design. Of course it was leather backed and what not, but still interesting. A dragon ran up the front of the book, it's long green tail wrapping to the back. Alaina thought back to the cats; Cloudy, Snickers, and Grinch. That's easy enough to remember. Hmm... Grinch surely I'll get on the cats good side, she thought to herself. She gave a small smirk, then realized she wasn't the only one at the table, stop acting like a freak.

Logan reached over and broke off another piece of his scone with his fingers, trying to identify any of the more subtle flavours this time as he chewed and swallowed carefully, as if he were pondering something much more important than simply deciphering a recipe. Logan couldn't exactly help it, however, he thought quite deeply on his chosen subject, quite deeply indeed, he felt the need to take everything apart, study it, and put it back together again. It was his inner Ravenclaw showing again. Logan giggled at the mention of posters and chanting, that was much too outlandish and outgoing for him, though the thought at least was amusing. He knew just the charm to animate posters, make them interesting... He tilted his head a bit, examining the book he had just repaired. "I-interesting book y-you've g-got, there," said Logan, trying to remember if he'd seen the same one before or not.

" Oh.. um thanks. Wanna see it?" Alaina pushed the book across the table a bit in Mr. Culpeppers direction. She gave a small smile and looked down to the left. She wasn't really sure what to say. This is why she never really socialized, she could never find the words to say. Alaina was a very very awkward and shy girl, never really fit in anywhere. She took off her ring, it was the shape of a crescent moon, and twirled around her fingers. Alaina dropped the ring on the floor, " Dang it...", she said. Did I forget to mention she's clumsy? She scooted back her chair, the ring was no where to be found. She stood up and started looking around for it.

"P-please," said Logan when Alaina offered to let him look at the book. He really did have the biggest soft spot for books, there was simply an endless supply, he could never get tired of them. He, over the years, had turned into the type of person who was delighted to get just books for Christmas, his birthday, and any other gift-giving occasion. Logan carefully opened the cover, scanning it for a bit before coming to the conclusion that he had seen it before, there was a copy stowed away somewhere in the Hogwarts library, and he looked up in time to see Alaina had ducked under the table. Not hesitating, he bent sideways at the waist, trying to see what she was doing. "Did you, um, l-lose s-something?" asked Logan.

Alaina started to raise up, then hit her head on the table. "Ouch!" She moved over and then raised up, " Um...". Rubbing her head, " Yeah.. my ring. I'm always losing something." She continued her search, still no luck. Alaina decided to look under some more tables, getting rather annoyed, she persevered on. At one point she thought she'd found it, but then cringed away when noticing it was a beetle. " Wonderful. Still can't find it."

Logan sympathetically winced when Alaina hit her head on the table, the poor thing. All he had been doing was trying to help, and now he was feeling guilty that it might have been his fault for startling her. When she mentioned a ring, Logan peered around himself, and it took a moment for him to remember that he was, indeed a wizard. "Oh, um, l-let me," said Logan, again taking out his wand, and using a quick charm to summon the ring. The jewelry zoomed straight to his outstretched palm, landing neatly in the middle before once again falling inanimate. Useful little spell, accio, he never needed to intensively search for anything.

Alaina heard Mr. Culpepper say something and looked up, he'd found it. " Oh," she laughed a bit, "Wow, sometimes I think I'm secretly a muggle. Only a wizard at Hogwarts, although I can't use magic outside of school...." Alaina broke off, yet again babbling. She ran a hand through her hair feeling awkward. Alaina scooted back her chair and sat back down putting one foot under her and leaning down on her arm.

Logan smiled a little unsteadily, giving Alaina back her ring. Twice now he had managed to help her without messing anything up, and really, he was quite proud of that. Of course, the ways in which he had needed to help weren't really all that difficult, though Logan could sometimes manage to bungle the simplest of tasks. He was simply too darn clumsy. "R-right," said Logan, "the r-rules and e-ev-everything. Bit of an advantage to b-being an adult, r-really." He himself hadn't been able to do magic whenever he felt like for terribly long, being only twenty years old, so the frustration of it was still fresh in his mind.

(( OOC: Sorry I died for a while... I was sick. And I'm totally stuck right now..))

" Um.. thanks." Alaina took back her ring a slipped it on her finger. She felt rather embarrassed that he'd all ready helped her twice and she was just... well there. " It is a bit frustrating not being able to use magic and all."
