The Library: Hunting For Eggs
House Pegasus planned these things. They were proud of their House, and House events were taken seriously. Most of the newbies had been gathered by older students yesterday, whom them instructed the fresh blood on how this Easter Hunt would work. Valentin had been psyched. He was a sucker for these group things.
Due to his powers, his duty was to look for eggs in high places. He'd spent some time in the classrooms, looking at the rafters. He'd found three eggs so far, wrapping them in a towel and keeping them in his backpack.
He was currently exploring the stacks in the library. He'd found three eggs on the higher shelf already. Either one of the teachers liked rewarding tenacity, or they were being sadistic. Whatever the case, Valentin was finding eggs up here.
Instead of climbing down, he jumped over to the opposite rack. Instead of grabbing wood, he grabbed a book, which slipped loose. Valentin scrambled but there was no use: he was falling. Vampire reflexes wouldn't catch him, but they would help him in one way: Valentin turned around, wanting to land on his hands and feet rather than on his back and backpack.
