Botros had smiled and patted the heads of those kids he passed on his way to professor Flamsteed. "Of course." he replied to his thanks. "About those books I told you about..." He scratched his chin, a little concerned. "I haven't found one that dealt with archaeoastronomy. Must've misplaced them, or had them back home." The fact that they were pretty much trapped in was getting more and more troublesome. Botros sighed and continued, "I'm sure we'll find something in here, though." He nodded and turned to the students, looking for anyone who needed help.

Professors, do you know what happened to the Book of Mysteria? This book doesn't really tell us much about what happened to it after the 2050's," he asked both Flamsteed and Botros. Man, he wished that he had a time turner so he could go back in time and REALLY see what happened.

Oh, Mr. Holden had an interesting theory. Ab, who seated himself on an empty chair, looked up at Airey with meaningful eyes. "That's an interesting question, son. I don't believe the whereabouts of the book is accurately known to the general public."It was waaay after Botros had been in Hogwarts, he'd been in Egypt and now he squinted his eyes trying to remember the latest they knew about said book... he did have his doubts about it being relevant to what they were researching, though.

Botros' attention was drawn to Cambridge... with books around her, no less. Well, this was a sight he was going to take to his grave. With a smile, not because of the idea of being cursed per se, but because this was a precious scene right there. "You should know, Miss Cambridge, from a former lesson of ours that the very blocks that make Hogwarts' stones are etched with strong Runic Wards that repel curses." He gave her a playful disappointed look, but his smile didn't leave his face.

"However, that's not a bad idea... actually, we can use what we learnt from that lesson in unraveling those potential curses..." He looked expectantly at the Gryffindor, then over to her Hufflepuff friend.
