Fluttery Pegasi Hadley clooooossssseeee.
Plunk. Another book joined the pile at her feet. She didn't turn to the sound of the Professor's demands, or of a new student, the Slytherin Prefect entering. Plunk. Another book. Plunk. More and more joined in a steady stream as the girl haphazardly pulled one off the shelf, stared at it, and dropped it. Plunk. Plunk. Plunk.
The next one was an old, wore, but well cared for book of spells. Though in good shape, it didn't appear that it'd hold up well to being unceremoniously dropped. But Hadley didn't drop it. Like before she stared it at for a great long time. "Booooooooook." She moaned a confirmation, and still without acknowledging that anyone else was in the room she turned, book in hands, and began to shuffle and shamble her way to the door. The books at her feet became brief stepping stone-like obstacles for the uncoordinated girl, but she managed to make it through the pile without falling over. The books however were a bit worse for wear.
