Emmy smiled, "You've probably heard of Wells' 'War of the Worlds'? Or 'The First Men in The Moon'?"
Going back to good old A C Clarke...
"Yes, you probably know the music from the film of '2001'... Did you know, that in World War Two, Arthur C Clarke actually helped develop RADAR technology? He had such an amazing mind..."
Then, quite unexpectedly, just as she was pondering what to say next, a tome by another of her favourite authors clonked her on the head. Thus providing her with another line of conversation...

She pulled out a ruler from her bag and pushed a Terry Pratchett book in their direction hoping it wouldn't hit them seeing as she couldn't reach it. She went around the other side, "Sorry about that, I couldn't help but over hear your conversation..." she picked up the book, "Have you heard of Terry Pratchett and Disc World? He's one of my faves" She was hoping she wasn't intruding on anything important, "I'm Wisteria Hartly," she held out her hand smiling.
Rubbing the spot where the book had hit her, Emmy looked round for the culprit... And found a small, rather sheepish-looking Gryffindor girl.
She handed 'Moving Pictures' back to the young Lion, saying,
"That's all right - no harm done!" she smiled, continuing, "Yes, actually, he's one of my favourite authors! Have you read 'The Wee Free Men'?" she hoped so - it was, in her opinion, probably the best place to start - either that, or the Bromeliad trilogy...
"Nice to meet you, Wisteria - I'm Emelia Frost, but my friends call me Emmy!"
She held out her hand for the girl to shake.
