We, Arlan and I was just surprised.

"How come did the library became a safe place?" Arlan questioned.

"Sometimes, books are not just books. Sometimes books are maps too." Henry answered.

We gave a fake smile to Ms. Chiclit and passed by some of the book shelves.

"It is often my secret hiding place. All you have to do is to say, Ti-pi-ti, Ta-pi-ti, Show me where is Vanity. Clearly okay?"

"Who is Vanity?" Arlan questioned.

"The care taker of the secret vicinity."

"Excuse me, you're inside the library. So keep that talking mouth shut! Respect my son and daughter." Said Ms. Chiclit.

"Son and daughter?" Arlan said.

"Books!"

It happened that the three of us just bowed our heads with our right hand on our foreheads.

After that, Ms. Evans turned back and walked.

But Arlan imitated what Ms. Evans said a while ago.

He said, "Ahem! Ahem!", and crossed her arms like Ms. Evans.

"Excuse me, you're inside the library. So keep that talking mouth shut! Respect my son and daughter." He said with his voice like a girl. No not a girl, like a gay.

"Son and daughter?" Henry said.

"Books!"

It happened that I am the only one bowed my head with my right hand on my foreheads.

We-three burst into laughters.

These two guys are really funny. Can't help but laugh at their crazy acts.

Our laughters were destroyed by another calling of Ms. Evans.

"Dursley! Lavenza! Sy!"

Oh no!

She move closer to us and pointed her finger in our faces slowly.

"One more irritating sound and you'll meet the detention."

We were just froze in where we're standing.

"Understand?"

We just noded.

She again turned back and walked.

"How fast will it take for us to be in the vicinity?" Arlan whispered.

"Very fast." Henry answered whispering too.

"How can we utter the words clearly without saying them aloud?" I asked them.

"Don't worry. Just say it. I have a plan B." Said Henry.

"If we can't make it this time, we still have late night and midnight and,--" Arlan paused.

"And what?" I said.

"Uhmm.... Twilight?" He stuttered.

"Tss. Hahaha!" I laughed hard.

And there goes Ms. Evans running through.

Because of that, Henry as well hurriedly stated,

"Ti-pi-ti Ta-pi-ti, show me where is Vanity!"

The shelf turned into half making an opening.

We entered the opening and the shelf immediately closed.

Still we heard Ms. Avans shouting our last names and then stopped.

"Those three were very naughty. Tsk. Tsk."
