"If by think you mean being 100 percent certain of it," Hugo began as he turned to see the girl who was talking to the group.
"Then yes. We think the Grey Lady meant the library," he turned back to Sir Eino.
"Or should I say... Lair of the Great Troll..." Quote:

‘How about the Stained Glass Windows? Isn’t there a window of Rowena Ravenclaw?’, she finished talking. There… now I’ll just shut up!
"Yes, little girl," Hugo spoke.
"Tis quite a big place. But who said we would stay at this very spot?Who said we'd look through the books?" He pointed dramatically towards the stained glass windows.
"We will split up," he told the girl. [B]"Sir Eino, the Lady of the Quidditch Pitch and I, the Sheriff of the Courtyard will stay and look for clues around the bookshelves.
"And you, Lady First-Year, can take soldiers with you-" he looked over to Spike and Ryden
"To the depths of the Stained Glass Windows and the land of Reading Lounge. But be careful - the Great Troll could be lurking around every corner..." He turned his back to the girl.

Plus, she was playing the part of a damsel in distress perfectly! She was really good at this! Maybe she also had some imaginary friends she played with from time to time. Nonetheless, as part of the knight's code he was obliged to to protect all the ladies of the land, so he couldn't let go of her. Sir Toby was also accompanying them, guarding her from the other side. "Do not fear, my lady! No harm shall come t-- AHHH!" Eino screamed and started flicking his wand mindlessly when a student at the end of the bookshelves dropped a book, scaring the magic out of him. He cleared his throat and composed himself. "A-as I was s-saying... No harm shall come to you, so long as I, the brave, courageous, valiant, powerful, and strong knight, Sir Eino, am by your side!" He said with his extended arm shaking like a leaf.
He proceeded forward slowly and cautiously just as The Sheriff of the Courtyard approached them.
Eino nodded in agreement. They had to be very quiet in order not to awaken the beast. Maybe the Sheriff has been here before, perhaps even encountered the beast! He knew what he was doing. "You should lead the way." Eino whispered to Hugo as he gestured towards the bookshelves. That is where their quest had led them so troll or no troll they had to make it to their destination, then do something else. He wasn't sure what. For now, bookshelves, and avoid the Great Troll!
He withdrew his wand.
"I have indeed been on many exciting journeys to this land and I have caught a glimpse of the troll- and I assure you, it is a great beast." He carefully took a step forward, anxious to just go and find the thing they were looking for.
"We must go now, for our journey will take long. We may bleed, we may sweat, we may cry. But victory will be ours!" he said, still in his library voice. He stuck his wand up in the air and put it back in its holster.
"This way," he said, navigating the two through the aisles of bookshelves, inspecting the spines of books he hadn't read yet.
