Tiamat is in no hurry to get to the Great Hall and takes slow steps toward it, but somehow makes it before most of the students come down for breakfast. Which made breakfast go faster so she could quickly get out after eating something simple. Her stomach use to plain food that was enchanted to appear in her cell.
"This place has library, right?" she asks.
"Yeah, I remember spending a lot of time there trying to learn anything that had to do with dragons,"
"Was any of that useful?"
He shrugs, "I learned more when I was around them, but it did give me information of the kinds of dragons out there and signs to watch out when they are angry,"
"How many dragon species did it mention?" She asks avoiding the stares of the students they walk pass.
"About ten, but there is two more we don't have much information on,"
"There is more than that unless wizards went on a dragon hunting expedition,"
Charlie stops walking eyes wide and jaw open that Tiamat could see the back of his throat.
"Please don't drop dead from a fright because I doubt my words were that scary," Tiamat says.
Charlie pulls himself together shaking his head, "I am not and I don't want to. What I want now is a parchment and a quill to write this down,"
"You seriously going to start carrying that around?"
"Yes! I don't want to miss any new information about dragons so please don't say anything still I have that on me,"
A small smile breaks out on her face, I am glad that there are still some people who are kind to us.
"I'll try not to," she says as they reach the library which Tiamat could smell from a few feet away. Her eyes bounce around the room fill with many shelves all carrying heavy tomes. Maybe a few are older than and others she surpasses them.
"Do you have a specific book you want to find? I know this library has a lot, but there might be some that-"
"It's small compare to the one at the village,"
Charlie freezes and closes his eyes, "Village. A village for dragons," he repeats.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes, yes. Go find what book you want I will see if I can get Madam Pince to let you take the book out," he says, but Tiamat could still hear him repeat dragon village quietly.
I don't think is anything strange. Wizards have them and even other species have their areas.
Tiamat wanders around making sure to stop at each shelve to read the name. Normally, she wouldn't require to stop to read, but many words have been added in the period she has been gone.
Runes: Meaning and properties should be a basic book that would be in a school, I believe.
Her search takes her even deeper where the names seem more familiar to her that she manages to locate the needed book on the fourth shelf on her left.
Her ears pick up a rustle that her body moves with speed to catch books that someone was carrying.
"Woah," the person says as Tiamat steadiest the tower of books with one hand.
"Let me," she says taking half of the stack away allowing her to see a beautiful brunette with doe eyes open even bigger that makes Tiamat want coos at her. She shakes her head slightly, unneeded thoughts disappear.
"Where to?" she asks.
The girl just stares at her before she managed to mumble an over there. Tiamat follows her indication to a table on the other side she was previously.
"Not that I mind giving a help, but aren't wizards always using magic," she says and sets the stack down on the table.
"I'm use to not using it often since I am a muggleborn,"
Tiamat raises an eyebrow, "You can do magic so you are a witch. I don't understand why you should be considered anything less. Its like us judging a hatchling for no being able to fly or looking like us because it doesn't matter we will love and protect them still our last breath. Does that make sense?"
She nods, slowly.
"I get it, but sometimes I forget," she says and sighs.
"Then stand tall with a firm gaze showing that you are not weak,"
She smiles, "Thank you and are really...?"
Tiamat brows knit together as she tilts her head, "A dragon?"
She nods.
"Last time I checked yes. I might not look much, but" she lifts the book in her other hand, "working on it. I do miss the sky and its own torture to be this close, but still far."
She hums her gaze lifting to Tiamat's head who had to bite down on her tongue to not let her words out.
That it was a miracle that she manages to excuse herself and find Charlie who gives her the okay, but she doesn't stop to listen and just walks pass him. She didn't stop still she's outside near the lake.
Charlie huffs and crosses his arms.
"What's wrong with you? And why did you just ignore me?"
Tiamat spits out blood.
"Oh no, are you hurt?!"
Tiamat shakes her head, "I bit my tongue,"
Charlie's shoulders slump, "Why?"
"To stop myself of offering a girl to touch my horns,"
"And that is ba-" Tiamat glares at him, "I mean horrible, but exactly?"
"It just intimate for someone to touch that worse to just say to someone to touch who you don't even know," Tiamat says.
Charlie narrows his eyes as realization slowly sets in bringing a smirk.
"Oooh,"
Tiamat frown glaring at his grinning face, "Don't even say it!" and starts walking away.
"I have not said anything yet,"
"You were thinking about it!"
He jogs after her, "Dragons can read minds?"
"No!" as she grumbles.
