School it was such a wonderful place...of learning. And like all places of learning there had to be a library somewhere. Rikanadad found it after looking four about fifteen minutes and walked through the doors before she began to scan the shelves. She wasn't there to study, no she just liked the feel of libraries they reminded her a lot of her father's study back home where she had spent so many precious hours. Besides there were so many great reading options for her spare time. Her eyes passed over book after book waiting for something to jump out at her or catch her interest.

Lily couldn't concentrate. James and Sirius had been making too much noise in the Gryffindor Common room, and she was getting annoyed. After yelling at them three times, she finally gave up. She was never going to finish her potions essay in the common room. Feeling a litte irritated, she walked down to the library and tried to find an empty table. After setting her books down, she decided to look for a book on the use of bubotuber pus in potions to help enhance her essay. Wandering through the aisles, she spotted a girl she didn't recognize looking through the stacks on the shelves. Not one to be shy, Lily smiled at the girl. "Hi," she whispered so as not to annoy the librarian. "I don't think I've seen you around before. Are you new?"

Rikanadad looked over from the book bindings and smiled "yeah I am, nice to meet you." She said softly. The other girl seemed to be really nice and so she didn't even bemoan the interruption as she turned away from the stacks. After all it wasn't like she had any real purpose for being in here though she was pretty sure the other girl did. Most people that she knew of didn't hang out in Libraries as a way to fend off boredom.

Lily held out her hand to the other girl. "I'm Lily Evans," she said. The girl seemed nice, but maybe a little lost, like she didn't know quite what to do with herself. Immediately, all thoughts of her essay were put out of her mind. After all, the report wasn't due for another week. Lily liked getting to know new people, especially if they seemed like they were bored or lonely. "What's your name?"

Rikanadad shook the other girls hand "Rikanadad...Rika Brean." She knew that compared to Lily her name probably seemed to be a bit different and difficult so she used to shortened form that her friends had called her. "So why are you here." she wanted to know if she was keeping the other girl from something important after all she didn't want to be responsible for anything bad happening.

Lily smiled. "That's a cool name," she said. "Better than mine. Mine's just so... ordinary." She wrinkled her nose. "Guess that's what I get for being muggle-born. Anyway, it's nice to meet you, Rika. I was just here to do some work on a potions essay, but it was only just assigned today and I still have a week to finish it. To tell the truth, I was just desperate to get out of the common room. There was a group of boys that were being really loud and obnoxious and they wouldn't stop."

"I think that might be part of the definition of boy." Rika said thinking about her own experiences with certain boys, including but not limited to her beloved brother. There were of course some boys who were an exception to the rule and she totally loved them and then there were the boys who were just plain dumb. "And strange names just run in my family I think they have a creative streak when it comes to naming." With some of them she was pretty sure that naming might be the only creative area.

Lily laughed. "Yeah, I guess you're right about that. Boys are pretty good at being loud and obnoxious... it's pretty much the only thing they're good at." She made a face as she thought of James trying to show off for her in the common room. When was he going to realize that she wasn't impressed by his bad behavior? "Anyway, that's cool about the names. My family is not at all creative with names. My sister and me are both named after flowers. I'm Lily and my sister's name is Petunia." She found herself wondering if Petunia had received the last letter she had sent her... Petunia hated the owls and wouldn't touch them when they came. "Hey, do you want to sit down and talk? I got a table over in the corner over there."

Rikanadad gave one last look to the shelves as if promising that she would return before nodding "Yeah sure I don't really have anything else to do for who knows how long." She liked the fact that her name was different most of the time and wouldn't actually change it for the world but her nickname was always easier it was harder to forget or to mess up. "So who are these exceedingly loud an obnoxious boys?"

Lily led Rika to the table where she had placed her books. As she sat down, she made a face. "One is named James Potter, and his friend is Sirius Black. I'm sure once you've been here a while, you'll start seeing them a lot. They're always making trouble and being obnoxious. They have two other friends, Peter and Remus. Peter's kind of a creep, but he's just copying what the other two do. Remus isn't too bad, though. He's actually even pretty nice if you get him away from his stupid friends." She rolled her eyes. "Have you met many people yet?"

Rika filled the names away for future reference, even though chances are she would like them anyway. Because in there own annoying way they sounded fun. And it took a lot for Rika to actually dislike people. "I haven't really met that many. Its been pretty hectic." She had transfered to a totally new school during the middle of the term how could it not be. There were classes and all that fun stuff along with actually getting settled. Besides she had literally just gotten there.

"That's cool," Lily said. "Well, let me know if you need any help finding your way around. This place is so big, I'm actually still trying to find my way around!" She laughed slightly. "So what subjects do you like? I can tell you about our professors... which ones are cool and which ones aren't."
