Zuri was sitting in the common room, an open book upon her lap. She shifted in the comfortable over-stuffed chair she sat in and looked at the fire in front of her. She glanced down at the book and turned the page lazily.
Her silvery, knee length hair was drawn in a pony tail, but her bangs still blocked her vision. She sighed and tried to tuck them behind her ear, again... She focused once again on the book, but couldn't get into it. She closed it with another sigh and looked at the cover, Hogwarts, a History.
Zuri had moved from her old school to Hogwarts at the start of the year, and she was trying to get to know about this odd school.
She looked around the room to see if anybody else was there...

Keith came out of invisibilty. He was sitting in a chair behind Cin. "Hello there."

(Zuri... lolz)
Zuri jumped and looked at him, "You scared me! Uh... hi."
She looked at Keith with wide eyes. Her book had fallen off of her lap when she had jumped. She waved her wand and it floated to the table gently. She stood, and turned toward him.
"I'm Zuri," she said.

"Keith." He extended his hand.

Zuri took it warmly and smiled, "Do you know your way around here? I haven't got any idea. I'm new, you see, so..."
She looked hopefully up at his tall figure with wide blue eyes. She was pretty much lost... They had told her this was Ravenclaw Common Room and told her the password, telling her that she'd figure out how to get around. She knew where most of her classes were, but nothing else. She desperately wanted to know where the library was.
Zuri's hair came undone. She glanced at the ribbon she had used and bent to pick it up. Then she looked back at Keith.

"Well, I am in Gryffindor. This is the Ravenclaw common room. Does that tell you anything?"

Zuri snickered and grinned, "Well, do you know where the library is? That is the one thing I REALLY want to find."

"Yeah. You go-" Keith tells Cin how to get to the library.

"Thanks!" Zuri beamed up at Keith. She had memorized it as soon as she heard it and glanced out a window near her. The day was nice and sunny.

"I like to read... I am a Ravenclaw, remember," Zuri replied.

"But I never met anybody who likes it so much."

"Well... I need something to fill up my time, other than dancing for boys and then having them follow me... Plus, I want to find out as much as I can about Hogwarts," Zuri replied, glancing at the book on the table. She smiled, "I'm not saying that I don't mind dancing... or singing for that matter... It's the boys that follow me..."

Keith raised an eyebrow. "You dance for boys?"

Zuri smiled, "I'm half-veela. I dance, and boys get attracted to me. I sing, they won't leave me alone. It's as much a curse as a gift..."
She absently brushed some of her hair off her shoulder and tilted her head, "My mother taught me how to dance. She's a full-fledged veela. She was scary when my dad got her mad."
