Histories little mysteries often fascinate me more than the larger mysteries, and I keep that box as a token of that. Most of the rest of my collection is back at home, though I have a few more in the cases by the bookshelf." He paused for awhile to let her hear the music without having to listen to his yammering.
"In fact I do read quite a bit, I love books" he said, rating the accuracy of that statement as mostly true. He had read quite a few books, but admittedly was a little below average when it came to fellow historians, who tended to read a good deal more than average. But his answer was definitely true. "Tea, coming right up." And he conjured up a cup of tea for the Muggle Studies professor - and one for himself too.
As they drank he elaborated on the topic of books. "Besides Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol, two other classics I rather enjoy are the Wizard of Oz and Carmilla. Have you read either of those titles? I would love to hear your opinions on them."
Listening to Charles, Kay realised just how passionate about history. Well, he had to be otherwise he wouldn't have taught the subject. She remained silent for a moment, taking the time to listen to the box's tune. It was a rather nice one. As it washed over her, she felt herself be calmer and more relaxed. "I bet you've tried to trace it back to the owner,'' she said afterwards and at the same time she was looking towards the bookshelf to locate the case full of boxes.
A fellow bookworm? The woman was more than pleased to hear this and it showed because she smiled brightly. It meant that they could recommend books to each other. How wonderful! "Thank you.'' She took the cup then proceeded to take a sip. "I actually haven't read Carmilla. Do you have a copy that I can borrow?'' Since it was being recommended, why would she not want to give it a shot? "The Wizard of Oz, I have. I actually prefer the book over the movie even though the movie has become a classic. It's just that being swept up in words is a lot more interesting. And the writer did a fantastic job.'' |
