YELP!

Botros let out that yelp as soon as Alexa jumped forward to attack take the book, but bless Annie and her quick--rather feisty-- reaction by kicking the Mistress of All Evil out of the Great Hall at once. Hohohowhewww. Ab looked with wide eyes at the closed double doors and then sideways at the 'calm' red head. Ohkay, ohkayyy, how was she not a little bit rattled? He could feel his breathing hitch a little. "Uh.. oh yeah. Hopefully she got to eat a little..." He wondered out loud, naturally concerned for the eating status of the little girl, then he looked at the book's bag that he'd hugged in the heat of the moment.

Clearing his throat, he composed himself and took the book out. A big book at that with a lovely ribbon dangling from the edge and.. awww fairytales? Botros chuckled and patted it with his equally big hand. "It's just a story book." He informed Annie with an easy smile, without taking his eyes off it. Nothing alarming, see, he was right Cambridge must've been doing a performance for muggle studies. Poor child must've gotten REALLY in character. He opened the thick cover and flipped through the pages quickly to see if there was any secret parchments tucked in there. Hiding something in such a mellow book would be awfully clever.
