Tiptoeing barefoot through the labyrinth - his preferred method of walking - Daxton managed to keep his footsteps light, and nearly as silent as he himself was. The lack of school robes helped; none of that awful swishing or rustling to announce his presence. He moved further and further into the labyrinth of books, memorising the path he had taken as he went, and looking out for any books on magical theory. Magical theory and science, to be precise, though he always liked to keep an eye out for more Defence books, and of course, his ongoing pursuit of knowledge about the many subjects that had captured his interest.
Leo pushed an overloaded book trolley with him towards the section that everyone referred to as in short 'the labyrinth of books' after breakfast in the relative peace and quiet before the students found their way to the library to study. No running feet. No voices. It was one of the times of day that Leo enjoyed the most. It was then that he could get a lot of work done without being interrupted. Don't get him wrong he loved the student interactions but sometimes they tended to just add to his list of things to do rather then make it shorter.

Could you blame a librarian for wanting to spend time with just his precious books and the smell of them? Probably not Leo reasoned as he headed for bookcases the stored the books on magical theory. That explained why things were as they were in the world. Gathering up a handful of books Leo headed into one of the aisles spotting a student at the end of it perusing books, barefoot and without school robes.

This student he however didn't need any school robes to recognise from a short distance. Stopping Leo called over genuinely curious. "Good morning Daxton, what book has drawn you here in the early morning without proper footwear or robes?" It had to be a special book, right?
