would be proud. He does this for every assignment!

not like you, and does not plan to do this very often. He was just up too late last night trying to see his sister.

it's fun though! But he makes good grades too so maybe Nikolai shouldn't try to be as awesome as he is.

how some people can get good grades by barely trying, and others have to actually *work* for them.

can't help being smart~

that if he's so smart, he should write the rest of his paper for him.

not that dumb! He wouldn't do any more work than he had to!

rolls his eyes, sighing, and goes back to work with much grumbling. He had about 5 minutes before he had to start heading on to that class.

points to it. "You're gonna fail. This is all wrong."

distractedly agrees, "But at least I'll have *something* to hand in." It's quantity>quality to him at this point.

whistles. "Well...You could use some tutoring. Just sayin'."

pauses. "Why. Are you offering?" Gilbert wasn't really known for offering help.

grins. "I expect payment of course."

finishes the last (crap) sentence and starts getting his things together. "Then, no." He wasn't stupid, who knew what this guy wanted.

hums a bit. "Aw, well I have other information you might like?"

straight up asks him, "What do you *want*?"

about this. "A favor, or two."

the details either now or later, because class is starting soon. "And what are they...?", he asks, standing up.

shrugs. "I haven't thought of anything yet."

should have known. "Goodbye, then.", he resists the urge to roll his eyes, and heads off to class.

follows. "I know where your sister is!"

turns around so sharply, brakes could almost be heard. "Where."

shoves his hands in his pockets. "You would owe me."

agreed without hestitation. "Fine, just tell me."

not so sure that he wants to take his word, so he quickly thinks up something. "I changed my mind. I want you to get me something first. _

then I'll tell you!"

narrowed his eyes. "She's not in trouble, is she?", he asked, almost hysterically.

shakes his head. "No, not at all!"

where he's going with this. "Then she should be going to class...which I should be going to as well.", he glared.

shakes his head. "She got called away~"

widens his eyes. "What?!"

whistles~ "Well, do we have a deal?"

hastily agrees, "Fine! What do you want?!"

finally asks. "A diary. I want one. A special one. I think with your eye for detail, you can find it in the library~"

looks at him strangely. "You don't have any more details than that?"

shrugs. "I know it's green and the pages will be blank." He just couldn't be bothered to find it himself.

, "Do you even know whose it is?" He couldn't possibly expect him to just go on that, could he?

nods! "It's mine~"

almost glares at him. "You know there's a spell for that, right?" (( There's an app for that. |D -shanked- ))

grins. "I've got a charm on it so people can't use it~" For extra safety and what not.

to hit something, "So you lost your diary, and cannot Accio it back. That's why you want me to find it?", he asks, strained.

nods! "Pretty much!"

grumbles some more. "Fine.", anything for Syestra. ((...how I gon' do that? ;A; ))

seems thrilled! "Okay, ;et

let's go then!

"*** ((Ffff enter button behave))

a pretty damn bad feeling about this, but follow's the older student anyway. (( Enter button loves you, that's why. XD ))

leads him into the library and looks around. "I thiiiiink, I put it in the A's."

quickly starts going down the rows, eyeing for any green spines, tipping them out and peeking between the pages before putting them back,_

_as none of them had been blank, so far. "Is there any writing on the spine?", he asked.

nods. "The words change though, so i can't say what they read. They'll be silver though.

keeps on searching through the shelves, finding nothing of the sort. "Unless there was a blank spine, or it was in some other language,_

_then I don't see it.", he said, recalling that those were the only two books that seemed strange.

seems to be pouting. No one better have taken it! "Keep looking!"

returned to the task before remembering something. "Do you write in German?"

nods! "Ja, of course!"

he could have said that before. "Something was written in German over there...", he backtracked, pulling out a green book with writing_

_on the spine that may have been German.

yanks it from his grip, eyes shining. "You found it!"

sighed, "Now what about my Syestra?"

snuggles his book, seeming pleased. "She's on her way to her common room now!"

grabs a book and throws it at him in frustration. His time was wasted for that?! Stalking off, he goes to tell his sister to stay away_

_from this guy forever.

cackles a little. Though, she really did get taken away by a teacher. It just took them so long to find the book.
