"Great idea, Angel, that COULD work as long as the book isn't perceptive to whether one's eyes are open or not as one reads.... which, shhh, you all need to be reading." Though on second thought, the book could very well be perceptive to eyes. Well, it was an idea, and they needed all the ideas they could get.

Moving towards Leo and Annie, but staying on the side of Annie, no need to get Sophia upset if she'd pop in. Looking around at the students before whispering, "So if they book does come, how are we going to catch it?" If it was just coming and going without a chance to keep it, how would they ever control it.

"If anyone actually gets a hold of the thing...it is entirely likely it will just vanish the moment it senses an attack." Did that mean they had to act quickly and accept whatever collateral damange came with that? Freezing said book holder's movements as well? Heh. What an amusing notion. Just as long as no Gryffindors were red shirts from the whole ordeal he was fine. "Perhaps we sh----"

And then his nose began making loud sniffing noises. Awkwardly loud. Nose twitching eagerly, the astronomer was easily distracted from the conversation with his colleagues by the succulent aroma. Smelled even better than Miss Adam's delights and THAT was saying something.

"Smells.....goooooooooooooood..." he said while his stomach gurgled and he took a few bold steps in the direction of the Restricted Section. It was as Miss Cambridge said, needed to "bust" whoever it was that had ~~tantalizing~~ sweets in the library.

To be confiscated...naturally...ahem.

They needed a way to hold on to the book, keep it trapped for a while to inspect it.

Trap it.

"We can-- there's a way to trap it." He whispered thoughtfully. "I would need red pigment and a wide space. We can use the trapping runic scheme, it will keep it within its radius trapped." He looked at them intently.

Hanging onto straws the Headmistress was indeed. Like Airey, Lux, and Kevin, she too smelled something delicious wafting around the library. Was that Leobald's cinnabuns again? She hadn't even gotten to try one of those and now someone was baking more.... or... were they?

She tapped her chin idly. "Alright, if any of us encounters the book, I think we should try the reading thing first, as in turning its pages and all that, and then someone else will need to sneak up on it and try freezing it...." Er, what was this idea Abraham had? "Something red, you say?" She opened up the bag she'd forgotten she was wearing and started rooting around in Alexa's mess for something red. Ugh, this bag was mostly wrappers and stale candy. Still, some of the mess was red...

She pulled out a red powder candy tube, which she knew had pure sugar in it because she had caught her son sneaking one, and offered it to Botros. "Would this work? I have red candy wrappers and more sugary... red things in here....." Just don't ask WHY.

As for the scent of freshly baked buns which was just permeating the air... Annie looked up to see Flamsteed already heading in that direction. "In the words of the Head Girl," she looked at him, "go 'bust that guy' for whatever he has." And he'd better have enough to share with the whole Book Club/Search Party group.
