He had a spell he needed invent. Or see if there was already one in creation. His arsenal of existing spell knowledge was rather limited after all.
Turning the corner, the Hufflepuff was just in time to see the older Ravenclaw hugging one of the bookshelves. HOLY FLAMING SALAMNDERS...WERE THE BOOKSHELVES ALIVE?! Derf's blue eyes widened because wooooooooooooow. Mum had told him about Hogwarts being alive...so it only made sense really.
"Does-s-s it have a name?" he asked. "It...he...s-she? It."

Mason turned his head and his feelings were confirmed when he noticed a young student staring right at him. He wasn't the type of person to blush when he got embarrassed but instead he unconciously rubbed the back of his neck.
What should he do? Admit it cooly? Lie and question the young Hufflepuffs sanity because he was clearly seeing things? Pretend he hadn't heard him? What?!
"What are you talking about?"
