"Hi, I was wondering if your physics section is still Dewey Decimal number 530. It is in the United States, but I'm not sure if it is in Canada and I was looking for a book that should be in the physics section, if that's the right number," Fred said in a single breath.

"Physics? Yes, the topic begins with 530," he said, surprised that someone who seemed barely out of her youth would be interested in something like physics.
A bit of the pot calling the kettle black, Severus, his inner voice chided. Merlin, he hated that voice.
"I think you'll find that we have a surprisingly large number of physics books," he informed her, attempting to be polite. "You'll find them at the top of the stairs to your left, starting with, as you said, 530. Were you looking for something in particular?" he asked, hoping she wasn't looking for one of those absurd "Idiot's Guide to..." books. Were that to be the case, she would of course, drop in his estimation. Snape had little time for idiots.
Unless it was Potter, but that was a different category all together.

"Oh good, it's nice to know that libraries are essentially the same here. Thank you for the directions! And, yes, I was actually looking for a copy of Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universe, Time Warps, and the Tenth Dimension by Michio Kaku. I left my old copy in Los Angeles and the book store here didn't have a copy. I would rather take it out from the library than order one off the internet, but if it's not here, I might have to brave the internet shopping system, something I'd not really wanted to do. I'm Fred by the way," she rambled.

Oddly enough, it also came in handy when creating spells, which made it one of the few muggle sciences worth spending time on.
"Severus Snape," he said, nodding at Fred. "I have found the internet to often be a colossal waste of time," he added, not at all pleased at the amount of information it contained about himself.

"Ah, professor Snape?"

"Dr. Wilson, I wasn't expecting to see you today. Can I help you?" he asked, giving Wilson a genuine smile.

"Hi, Dr. House, what a funny coincidence running into you here," she said, stopping herself before completely rambling as she knew it wasn't House's favorite thing.
