SHE HAD TO PAY TO GO TO THE LIBRARY WAS THIS A JOKE?

Nooooooo!

No PLEEAAASE no. Not this year. Not with OWLs coming. Not with the threat of No Quidditch hanging over her head if she didn't get good enough grades... Not with her need for her own broom and the painful saving up she was trying to do... This was so not fair. She NEEDED her money. She was CAPTAIN. She NEEDED her OWN BROOM. DID NOBODY UNDERSTAND THE URGENCY? HOW WAS SHE SUPPOSED TO KEEP UP WITH HER TEAM WITHOUT ONE?!

Where was she supposed to go to hide from everything? She'd have to find a new quiet place to hide... somewhere with books. God, that place didn't EXIST outside the library. Sigh.

Anyway, she needed to get in right now, because she was going to have to check out at least a weeks worth of books at a time if they had to PAY. So she fished in her pocket and counted out eight sickles... She only had ten sickles. Meh. She paid the fee and went through the turnstiles. Sigh.
