Chapter 21: Gusion's Invisibility Cloak

All classes were soon over and it was getting gloomy, Lesley finally went to the library alone as her daily routine. Her friend Granger went to the common room instantly. She didn't have her homework for today yet she had a Potions Quiz with Professor Gord, that would be on Friday. Lesley decided to advance study on Potions instead of doing nothing. She also decided to advance study a bit for the O.W.L. test. Some of the students were also studying in the library. Recently, Lesley changed her braided hair into a bun so she could be comfortable while studying.

"Hmm.. let's see here, 'Great Potions', "Enhancing Book of Potions', errr-" Lesley scanned some of a potions book in the book shelf for a reference because she didn't want to base the actual book that she used in class. She wanted to choose the best book for it but most of the potions book were old and dusty. "Umm... eee.... ugh, I can't find the best book for reference." She growled as she reached the dead end of the shelf.

"I hope I can find a best book for refer-"

"Hi, Lesley!" A Pureblood wizard named Gusion Paxley surprised her.

"Gah! Pax- I mean Gusion, you scared me! We're in the library!" Lesley scolded softly. She almost fell off when Gusion surprised her. "By the way, why are you here?"

"Oh, I'm just...staying here for a while. I heard you scanning books since I was scanning on the other side of the shelf," Gusion replied. "I thought you were with Chanter."

"Oh, I was looking the best potions book for my reference. I want to advance study for the Potions Quiz on Friday," Lesley said, leaning against the shelf. "But I didn't find any. They look old now. Besides, Granger went to the common room already."

"Oh I see. Well, I heard of it by scanning some books," Gusion said. "I think this potions book would be better for reference."

Gusion gave her a potions book he picked up. Lesley scanned it and she thought that this would be the best book and the appearance looked good as new.

"Hmm, 'Advance Potions', well, this look like the best one. Thanks, Gusion," Lesley said with a smile as she kept it with her hands.

"You're welcome, Lesley. Anyway why are you in bun hair? You're always in braided one." Gusion asked, walking shelf by shelf with her.

"Oh I just find this hairstyle way more comfortable to study," Lesley answered. "By the way, I kept your 'Thank you' note in my ba-"

Lesley's words been cut out because Gusion pushed her backwards between the two shelfs. He saw his fiancée Guinevere was in front of them, carrying a pile of books. Lucky Guinevere didn't notice them when Gusion saw her. Gusion immediately hid Lesley behind the shelf.

"Gusion, bloody hell!" Lesley exclaimed. "Why did you push me behind the shel-"

"Shh. Quiet," Gusion informed gestured her to quiet. "My fiancée is here, studying too just like you. If she finds out that we're together, I'm doomed with her and my family."

Gusion glanced at Guinevere for a while then Guinevere went ahead where he and Lesley were.

"You have to hide, Lesley. She's coming!" Gusion informed.
"Where should I hide?" Lesley asked then Gusion took something in his bag swiftly.

"Hide here and don't go away." Gusion swiftly covered Lesley with his cloak, making Lesley invisible. After that, Guinevere was finally there as Gusion turned around yet Lesley was behind him, Guinevere didn't know she was invisible.

"Oh my fiancé~" Guinevere exclaimed when she passed through Gusion. "I didn't expect you to be here~"

"I didn't expect you here too, Guinevere." Gusion lied. "You got a pile of books too."
