Had she been an artist, she was sure she'd want to paint it, but given her inability to draw so much as a smiley face well she only really wanted to grab a book and curl up with the glass figure of Rowena Ravenclaw standing tall over her.

There was one book that had been recommended to her, by whom she couldn't remember, by the name of Great Wizarding Events of the Twentieth Century, but scanning the shelves brought her nothing but a frown as she couldn't seem to find it anywhere. Adrienne was about to head towards the front of the library to ask Kitridge if he could help her find it when she caught a glance of the book that an older, red-haired girl was reading. Bending her knees to get a better look, she found that it was in fact the one she'd been searching for, so after a moment she strode up to the girl. Maybe if they became friendly, she'd be able to wheedle the book out of her hands.

"How's the book?" she asked. She was quieter than usual, but hardly whispering, since the place seemed to be pretty empty today. "I've heard good things about that one."

Derry was pretty immersed in this book, something she loved about history was that a lot of the events read like any other stories. Especially the exciting ones - cause this war stuff was awesome. It was kinda horrifying too, but it was in the past n stuff. Couldn't change it now.

She'd hardly noticed that she wasn't alone as she turned the pages. She might have been here in body, but in her mind it was 1998, and she was with these awesome people at the battle of Hogwarts. Part of her was really irked at how the Slytherins were portrayed in the book, it wasn't like they'd exactly had a choice - they'd been sent home just because of a few people's stupidity. But then she supposed the writer must have been anti slytherin or something.

She only looked up when she heard a voice, taking a second to reintroduce herself to the modern world before giving the girl a smile. "Yeah it's good." she said, half closing it with a thumb to hold her place. "I'm just... brushing up on stuff. I never knew all this about the horcruxes and stuff." Because she'd never been told. Which was a shame, because that was an incredible plot device that she could have used in one of her stories. But nooooo, people didn't think it was important to tell her. ... Also she'd never asked.
