It caught it what she thought was the right way and she whipped around to see if there would be a secret passage yawning to her.
But no.
The book came into her hand, revealing its title: "Watching Grass Grow." Tessa made a face and quickly placed the book back. "Not that book," she assured the librarian.
What was the girl up to Leo wondered silently as the girl declined his offer of help. Maybe she liked to browse for books by herself but something about her behaviour didn’t feel right to him. Worst case this was just another student hoping to find a secret way into the restricted section of the library where there were none to find. Leo had made sure of that when he first started to work here.
Rolling up his parchment again he went down the same aisle as the girl was in. As he passed her he caught a glance of the book she quickly put back with a grimace.
"Not an aspiring plant expert?" he enquired quietly as he went down check the small section dedicated to flesh eating plants.
