Thank you, Lark! I'm glad you found your way here -- and also that you enjoyed the "bookish" parts of the story. Books are where my own heart lies, of course, and I've always felt that the Hogwarts library must have some real treasures to offer /g/. Still, as you say, the authority of books can be hard to resist, especially scientific tomes as weighty (literally and figuratively) as some of those early sexology texts.
