Liam entered the Hogwarts library, immediately struck by the grandeur of the space. The high, vaulted ceiling and rows upon rows of shelves, stacked with books of all shapes and sizes, created a sense of awe and reverence within him. He paused for a moment to take it all in, feeling a sense of calm wash over him as he absorbed the quiet, studious atmosphere. He continued to make his way past the rows of shelves, his eyes scanning the spines of the books as he went. There were so many to choose from, each one promising a wealth of knowledge and adventure. He was tempted by a thick, leather-bound volume detailing ancient sports, but decided to keep searching.

As Liam continued deeper into the library, he came across a small alcove, tucked away in the corner of the room. It was a cosy, secluded space, with three plush armchairs and a small table piled high with books. He couldn't resist the temptation to sink into the armchair and lose himself in the pages of one of the books. Nearby was a selection of tomes detailing the adventures and hijinx of a magical archaeologist; Liam had seen these books before but was never allowed to read them at home. His parents thought they would inspire some reckless behaviour while they were away at work - but really it probably wouldn’t have made a difference. Regardless, Liam had the opportunity now and he hadn’t had the time to just sit and read since arriving, so this was a welcome break.

Liam chose one of the volumes and began to read, and soon was completely engrossed in the story. The words seemed to flow off the page and into his mind, filling it with vivid images and ideas of ancient civilizations and the magical artefacts they had left behind. He was so immersed in the tale that he barely noticed the passage of time as the minutes grew closer and closer to an hour.

Ashley was searching the shelves for a certain book that dealt with creatures and the Dark Arts. There was no longer time to wind down at Hogwarts. The Library was crowded with students from various houses who appeared to be very committed to their studies, and it was filled with tons of books crammed into its bookcases.

It's unusual to see the library so crowded; what had happened?
He asked himself questions, but the only response he could give was, "You cannot resist the enchanted library." Ashley was dressed in a long, black garment with a cyan layout on it. Underneath his long wizard garment he wore a basic black denim with long - sleeved white shirt and a school tie with a Hogwarts symbol.

However, when looking for a book, he came across this large volume that was almost entirely devoted to the beasts that existed in the wizarding world.
For someone his size, it was a bit hefty due to the sheer number of pages to read, but the young man didn't mind because he enjoyed reading and doing research.

"BANG!"

The library reverberated the sound. The bustling students cried, "Shhh!" as if they were being startled out of their work. While some of them shrugged, others proceeding to their work, Ashley apologized in a low voice. While attempting to relax, he caught a glimpse of a Gryffindor boy sitting quietly with his face obscured beneath the white pages with black calligraphy. He appeared to be devouring everything the book had to offer.

" Again, Sorry!"
He muttered softly in an effort to avoid disturbing the Gryffindor lad with the sound of the book slamming against the table.
