“I see you have found out the secret…” he mused with a chuckle. It wasn’t a hard one, not like the riddles that sometimes guarded the Ravenclaw Tower, seeing as the book kinda did stand out if one was paying attention. But it wasn’t found by everyone who graced the common room. “Welcome to the quieter side of the common room.” Ravenclaws may be studious but they still generated noise, especially excitable first years of which there certainly seemed to be a lot this term.

She offered Raj her own smile, before she moved around the small nook - her hand trailing over the spines of the books, pausing every few feet to admire a particular title. Was there anything more exciting than stumbling upon a secret? Even if it was a well known one, which she was assuming this area might be for those who had been students in the house for long.

Locating a book with roses etched along the side, Mouse pulled it off the shelf, turning it over in her hands as she admired the art work, before tucking it under her arm and moving closer towards Raj to fold herself onto a pillow nearby. "Entirely by mistake. I'm glad that book happened to catch my eye. What a charming little spot! And they certainly seem to keep it well stocked for comfort." She reached for another pillow nearby, placing this one on her lap so she could sit without worrying about her skirt and then setting the book atop it. "Thank you. Is this one of your preferred spots around the castle?" She didn't have the heart to tell him it might not be as quiet now that she'd located it. It was perhaps not just the first years that were easily excitable. She tended to let herself get caught up and exuberant over the simple pleasures in life.
