Upon hearing the title of the book, Macadrian pointed to a bookcase on the end, which contained all her texts that weren't specifically pertaining to Arithmancy. These shelves featured books on Ancient Runes, Floriography, the Tarot, Astronomy, and a variety of other subjects closely tied in with Arithmancy. She explained, "This case would likely be where they placed it. Let's give it a quick scan. I don't know whether they would have placed it under the subject 'Floriography' or 'Astronomy/Astrology.'" As she scanned through the subjects beginning with A, she did not find the book and jumped down to the subject heading of F. She dragged her fingers along the spines until she quickly found Saylie's book amongst the Floriography references. She pulled the book out and glanced at the cover, "Here it is! What a lovely new reference! Did you purchase this at Flourish and Blotts?"

Saylie grinned at the appearance of the book and shook her head, "No. Actually my Dad got it....It's a Muggle book. He was shopping for a new gardening book and thought about what I'd been telling him about last year. He picked it up, along with a few others, and brought them home hoping I'd like them. Turns out that this one was great. The other's were okay, but I liked this one better...it seemed to be a little more in depth. Other's just had pictures, but plenty referenced the two together." She smiled, thinking of how eager her father had been to help. He always tried to be enthusiastic about the things she was interested in, and this was no different. "Do you think it'll be of any use?"
