Face like thunder, Joyce entered the library and headed straight for the shelves dedicated for Transfiguration works and titles. She wasn't even sure if the Hogwarts library kept up to date with the latest issues of Transfiguration Today --- if they didn't, she would need to have stern words with the librarian.
Why didn't she simply have her own copy owled to her upon release?
That was the problem. She did.
It had arrived bright and early that very morning and she was absolutely positive she'd left it at her desk. After a stressful morning with stressful students, she'd been looking forward to some afternoon purusing but when she'd returned to her office however, it was gone.
Joyce Darlington was NOT one for misplacing things, so this was either someone's idea of a prank or the house-elves had moved it during their cleaning. What other explanation could there be?
So here she was.
