Having spent an entire summer away from the Hogwarts library and its vast selection of resources, Daxton was keen to get back there at the earliest opportunity once he was back at school. He had been working on all manner of things in his free time at home, relying mainly on the information he had already read and committed to memory, but nothing was quite the same as referencing and cross-referencing actual physical books, and being surrounded by thousands more.

Though he was very tall for his age, especially after his most recent growth spurt (which had also left him rather lanky and thin), he was clearly not tall enough to view the books on the highest shelves. However, he did not want to use the sliding ladders either, finding that it would be much too easy for someone to push the ladder so it slid away while he was up at the top, and feeling that the ladder would easily succumb to any sort of destructive spellwork while he was using it, sending him crashing to the ground. And Daxton knew that there would be plenty of people liable to try such a thing.

So, in an aisle of books with a section devoted to magical theory, Daxton instead climbed up onto one of the desks to peruse the higher-up shelves. He kept an ear out for anyone who might approach, ready to leap away, should someone cast a spell at him or the desk he stood upon. Gradually, he started making his way down the aisle, scanning through the titles on the bookshelves and occasionally bringing out a book that looked like it might be of some use.
