It was huge and she hoped it was all about Da Vinci. "Thank you this looks like a lot of reading I need to do." She smiled as she heaved the book off the counter. As she pulled the book the weight shifted and it carried her over and she fell on her bum. "Good merlin this book is heavy," She said picking herself up off the floor and dusting herself off.
Madame Kohan glanced curiously at the young girl as she admitted to an aspiration of becoming an inventor like da Vinci. "Really? My goodness, you certainly have high standards, young lady. I don't see many students who are interested in such matters; though an inventor is just as important as an Auror or Healer. And, as a plus, you'll be remembered forever as the one who invented..well, whatever!"

"Actually, no I didn't know that. I know that 's much more than an inventor, but he's done so much that it's quite difficult to know exactly all that he has done."

As the girl pulled the book off of the counter and then tumbled onto the floor, Madame Kohan immediately hopped off of her stool and hurried around to the front of the desk. "Are you alright?"

Adjusting her glasses, Ari brought her white cane into the neutral stance, placing both hands on top of it. "Excuse me--I was wondering, does this library have a collection of books written in braille?" She smiled. "No emergency, just for, uh--" she cleared her throat, "just for future reference."
Not having expected the sight that befell her eyes, Angela straightened up slowly from her position near the desk. "Braille?" She repeated. "I'm..afraid that we only have one and it's a copy of 'Basic Braille'." She answered apologetically. "Though I certainly can look into ordering more."
