So there was a way to keep the book dormant. Beverly suddenly found herself thinking what runes would be incorporated when she caught Botros' gaze. Heh. Hi. Nice eyes. With the softest of blushes on her cheeks, she shot him a tiny grin then a firm nod.

Listening in on what the professors were telling the Head Girl to do, Beverly understood. MAYBE exploding the book wasn't the way to go. Maybe. It'd sure be the most entertaining, and she did wander what the book would try and do, but...meh. Just make this end.

Another question.

This time she gazed around at the other professors. "What if everyone said, that: 'Everyone lived happily ever after?' at the same time? Maybe it'd make it go away faster."

Just FYI.

Maybe the book would believe it then and leave them alone, because IF something else popped out of it and tried to smooch her, she'd ZAP it herself.
