There was lots of books being mentioned right now, and lots of talking about those books, and all kinds of suggestions, and Toby found himself just sort of... staring around. Amazing, really. Everyone in this room probably read for fun, and did so often. That astounded and impressed Toby, it really did. He was forever in awe of those who could just... just read for fun, all the time. Even from what Toby had heard of so far in this room, it was evident that all that reading gave people all that extra knowledge. Made them all super smart.

He looked down at his copy of Quidditch Through the Ages again, before hugging it to his chest. There was no point mentioning it now, not now that Kace had already brought it up. That was interesting, though, hearing about how Kace was aiming to get into professional Quidditch after school too. Tobias filed that little piece of information away later, maybe it would be something for them to talk about.

Right now though? Toby remained quiet. He tried no to let on, but he was attempting to ignore some definite feelings of inadequacy right now, surrounded by well-read, clever people.

That talk of books from the restricted section from Kitridge caught Toby's attention though, and he kind of tuned out for a second while something registered. The librarian had said that books couldn't just appear on the shelves?

"There was a vanishing book," the Hufflepuff suddenly blurted out, as soon as he thought of it. Not exactly on topic with what the librarian had asked but still pertaining to that other topic. "In Div-" ahem "-in class. It glowed and then this girl read it and then apparently it just vanished. And there was a glowing book in our common room, but I didn't get to read it." And now that he thought about it, given the state of Professor Morgan when she'd brought it into the classroom, maybe that was a good thing. And hadn't that girl then been the next person to catch The Bug? Hmm. HMMMM.

He looked at Kitridge again, curious. "Maybe if books can vanish they can just appear too?" Was this too far off topic? "Are there any vanishing books in the library, sir? Or glowing ones?" Just, y'know, curious. If anyone would know, it would be Mr. Kitridge.
