Stopping to listen for more sounds the blond professor glanced around, but heard no more words but decided still to see if she could find who the voice could have belonged to. Laurel was there right now and she knew that Kalen weren't and besides she still had some time to kill off before she needed to go on patrol with Tristan.
Turning around on the spot Laurel went deeper into the library towards the window section where something told her that she'd find the person that had those elusive words. She first saw the back of a book and then the girl that read it. As she recognized her as one of the first years in her own house Laurel smiled kindly. "Hello Holly, are you reading anything good?"
With her head firmly engrossed within the tales she read, the blonde neglected to notice anything around her, least of all the person approaching her. She smiled slightly as she continued her way through the pages, each turn pulling her further and further into a whole new world she hadn't yet discovered.
The sound of her name pulled her from this new world and back to the reality before her. She looked up at the lady in front of her, finally clocking that she had been asked a question. Marking her page, she turned to face the lady she recognized as her head of house. Though the two were yet to formerly meet, it was impossible not to know who the professor was. She had heard other students mentioning her around the common room.
"Hello Professor, at the moment I'm not quite sure. It's a book my mother bought me and I've only just gotten to read it" was her response. She glanced at the back cover and skimmed the blurb for anything that could jump out to describe it's contents.
"I think it's going to be a mystery of some kind" she added.
"Is there anything on the shelves you would recommend?"
