Dear Mr. Sandburg,
I have likewise heard well of you, sir. And I do indeed love books--more than is good for me, according to Crowley. The Hogwarts library is a credit to the school and to you, which makes it all the more distressing to think I may have caused a problem there.
I'm afraid on my recent visit I was a bit more talkative than was strictly necessary, perhaps contributing to the disturbance mentioned by Professor Maturin, though I assure you it was unplanned and I did my best to keep my voice down to an appropriate volume. I will also note, in my own defense, that it is extremely difficult to remain quiet when one trips over a fellow student seated between the stacks and lands on a sore wing.I apologize also if my note seemed a bit over-dramatic. The past few weeks have been exceedingly difficult, to the point that I have literally found myself getting into some sort of jam every time I venture out of the dorm, and it appears this time was no exception

Aziraphale sighed. "I scarcely know where to begin." There was so much, and there was so much history behind it (personal and otherwise) that he could talk for days and not get through it all
( ... )
Blair blinked. Blinked again. Blinked thrice and exhaled. "Sure you only want tea?" He hadn't been expecting any of that. Not that anyone could, but he hadn't expected the rush of words at all. The tone. The content in an abstract.
Blair blinked again and realized he was internally babbling. "There are several books I could offer:
# Why Does He Do That?: Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men by Lundy Bancroft
# Emotional Blackmail: When the People in Your Life Use Fear, Obligation, and Guilt to Manipulate You by Susan Forward
# Obsessive Love: When It Hurts Too Much to Let Go by Susan Forward
# Angry Men and the Women Who Love Them: Breaking the Cycle of Physical and Emotional Abuse"
He offered a smile. "They're not exactly My Demond and Me; An Angelic Overview of Interpersonal Relationships. But..." Blair moved to the pot to pour himself more tea.
