 Mod Babysitter | be curious, not judgmental
Sophie gave a shrug at Botros' rejection of the summoning charm idea. "Thought I'd ask. Sometimes people look past the obvious ways to go 'bout things just 'cause they ARE so obvious, y'know?" Trying to analyze the situation from all sides and all.
She hummed thoughtfully to herself as they went, peeking into the various rooms as they passed while reflecting on what other ways they might be able to track this thing down other than just walking around the school hoping to get lucky. If runes would've helped, she was certain Botros would've already worked at that idea, and... there was no pattern to the book's movement, was there? The book wasn't attracted just to certain places or to certain people? It seemed entirely random, which was no help at all. They couldn't even send someone out as bait to a common place for it to appear and hope the book showed itself.
"S'weird that a book can... 'think,'" she used her fingers to do quotation marks in the air, "so independently for itself. Magic is so weird sometimes." And that was coming from a pureblood.
Wonder how it got to the school at all, though? They wouldn't keep such a manipulative book in the library, would they, even in the restricted section? Soph didn't think so. So... Merlin, did that mean someone had brought the book to school with them?
She hoped not. But if someone DID, she was all game for accusing Cutty Mordaunt of being the likely hooligan.
