Today was another self realised lesson that I should stop going into book stores alone.

If it wasn't bad enough I missed out on the sorting ceremony on the first night, due to finding myself in Flourish and Blotts. I get back to my room to realise not only have I realised that I have spent all my day off in Tomes and Scrolls, but I have spent far much more money than I intended. I had only intended to pick up a charms book I ordered.

I suppose however I can't be all that upset, I did find some fantastic reading materials. Which means when I don't have to grade papers, I will be most pre-occupied.

Loving books is hardly alcoholism. And it is hardly like any of the students will be getting their small hands on any of them. So they aren't going to hurt anything, either.

You doubt certain students' tenacity.

And like the potions master said, there are libraries. The one here is quite expansive, even.

[unitedavalon]

You write that like I have any intention of actually letting the students near my private collection.

And this library as been the cause of many fantastic purchase I have made since coming here.

[arachnoble]

Students have been known to care less over "private". After all, they're still young.

Why purchase something you can already read freely?

[unitedavalon]

It would be rather unwise of them to try.

Because, once I have the book I can read it as many times as I like without having to worry about someone else having it when I wish to read it.
