Erin was distinctly unimpressed with the Hogwarts library. Or more specifically, its librarian. She nodded dumbly and followed along behind Anemone, barely managing to hold back a snarky look at the teacher. But she didn't particularly want to get into trouble. She managed that well enough just by -existing-.
She followed along easily, sweeping her eyes over the books and their assorted titles and only really half-listening to what the other girl was saying as they walked through the shelves upon shelves of books. Until they got to a certain section...
Erin froze in place, staring up at the bookshelf in awe for a moment, reading each of the titles reverently. Finally, she reached out and helped herself to one of the books and turned to follow after her guide once again. Though she held the thick tome quite protectively--definitely something that she would be checking out on her own.
She didn't explain her actions, either. Anemone was the talkative one out of the two of them, she'd already decided in her mind. If the chattery girl wanted to know why she'd grabbed that book, or even which book it was that had gotten the girl's attention, she'd have to ask.
"So are you really a bookworm?" she whispered quietly, encouraging Anemone to talk about herself rather than letting the conversation drift to anything about Erin herself.
