The time to turn in a long essay about the Druids was getting closer as the day was passing and the sun hid somewhere behind the mountains. However, Perseas Stratis had been reading with delight a rather irrelevant book under the dim light of the few burning candles. Several textbooks on celtic magic were left opened on the table, along with a series of parchment rolls about the deeds of several, well-known druids of all time. Yet, he had leaned back on his chair and had placed his legs up high on the corner of the table while reading a book about ancient caves, tunnels and catacombs. He should have never laid an eye on this thick tome. Now his essay was going to be postponed indefinitely, maybe it was never going to be completed. It didn't matter to him now anyway. His pale eyes were following devotedly the fading lines, absorbing every single information wrapped around mystery, conspiracy and the unknown. The table he had chosen to settle down earlier that afternoon was blocked from the other people's view as it was surrounded by towering bookcases and the window. Even the majestic view of the lake right next to him was worth his attention now that he was reading about a cave at his birthplace where muggles had been witnessing strange creatures and the local ministry of magic was preferring to remain silent about the events. Just when he heard footsteps getting closer to his location, he thought that maybe the librarian was up to her usual patrol to check if everything was in order. Perseas shut the book with a snap, sat straight on his chair with his feet back on the floor and covered the thick book with another book regarding the deeds of Bodhmall of the Fenian Cycle. He had opened the decoy book on a page that had a depiction of the female druid, looking at him and shaking her head in a critical way. Perseas turned another page to hide the druid's judgemental look and pretended he was into his research.
