Justin had felt bad about not doing much more research for Anthony due to the invasion, so much so that he returned to Hogwarts to beg Madame Pince to let him use the library. She'd given him a roll of the eyes - apparently, she hadn't forgotten that time she'd caught him and Colin having a gorgeous snog in the Astronomy section - and had waved him in with a warning not to take any books out of the library.

He'd made good use of his time, looking up several books and, upon discovering something of interest, performed a copying charm to take the information down on some blank paper he'd brought with him. He was on his way to return one of the books and get another when his eyes caught sight of the Restricted Section.

Ever since first year, he'd wondered what exactly was contained within that small area. Some thought there were manuals on the dark arts, others that there was some sort of other powerful knowledge that had to be kept under wraps. Justin, however, had always believed there to be some sort of wizard equivalent to the kama sutra that was hidden well within those shelves.

Unlike when he was younger, he was an adult now, and there was nothing keeping him from entering the Restricted Section. With a wicked grin, and completely forgetting about the book he'd been about to retrieve, he detoured to his new destination.

The scent of old, dust-covered books made him sneeze and he was immediately tempted to leave, but he kept on, the thought of the prize he might find being an excellent incentive. He started at the nearest shelf and trailed a finger along the book spines, browsing over titles to see if he could find something that would pique his interest.
