Welp. Had she really been that loud? She preferred to say enthusiastic. Also, if she was right in excitement, she totally should earn a point or two back for her knowledge of Divination. Or at least one aspect of the subject. "Sorry," she whispered, looking over to Diego, at least he didn't seem upset with her. She'd just gotten a little ahead of herself and spaced out on it being a library.

Acquiring a book. Having claimed a beanbag seat, it meant she was one of the first ones, to which she ran her fingers over the spines of each book, trying to see which one called to her. Eventually after spending the entirety of the five minutes completely indecisive, she just selected a red-spined book and took her seat again. Completely random perhaps, but the Gryffindor red was clearly meant to be. She would investigate what book she ended up with shortly.

For now they were continuing on and Professor Joshi acknowledged that bibliomancy was indeed correct. Sure she'd cost them points, but surely her correct knowledge should have been credited back to her in more than just 'acknowledgements'. Gryffindor pride perhaps, or maybe just some pre-teen angst, but she was feeling somewhat sulky in that moment.

It was for that reason that she chose to not answer the Professor's question about the subject. She already had somewhat said what she knew about anyway when she blurted it out on her entrance. As for why she chose the book? Because her five minutes was running out and the red spoke to her. Which was when she took a closer look, seeing The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo scrawled on the spine of the book. No she hadn't read it, but she got the sense Professor Cox probably has.

So she had to think of a question first and then would open up the book to reveal the answer? This was a weird method and Kara had to question its accuracy. Like what if she chose a book on quidditch. How would that help her answer a question? Unless the question related to bludgers and quaffles or something, which for some of her peers it probably would. She considered her question, thinking on what she knew about alchemy. It was kind of potions related, so maybe this was something in her future? She considered on perhaps the question should related to if alchemy was in her future. "You said, Professor, it doesn't have to be a yes or no question, but it can be, right?" Kara inquired after raising her hand. She was having a hard time thinking of questions that weren't yes or no.
