Shelby was excited. Smiling, even. She had gotten the letter asking her to join the staff at Daily Prophet. As the Junior Copy Editor. She'd immediately gone to the landlord in Hogsmeade and reserved her flat. Her very own flat ( ... )

She was browsing a new-to-her book on wizarding England during the Victorian times when someone bumped into her. She glanced up and recognized the girl who had apologized, but she couldn't think of a name. Ravenclaw. Luna's year, if she remembered correctly. It had been too many years since she had been a prefect, obviously, because she could longer place names to faces quickly.

"It's fine. I should have been paying more attention," she said with a smile. At the question, she considered it. "Perhaps. I've never seen the book before, so it might turn out to be fascinating. I'm debating whether or not I want to buy it to find out." Sheila? Shelly? No. "Shelby, isn't it?"

Shelby was a little taken aback by how friendly she seemed. Maybe it was just the divisions at Hogwarts that made it difficult to see people as anything other than their house, though Hermione had always been the one who never quite fit the mental mold of what Shelby perceived of Gryffindors. "Yes. Shelby Fawcett." She held out her hand to shake, manners ingrained from years of tea parties. "And you're Hermione Granger."

She looked around. "Is there anything you would recommend?" It had been so long since she'd bought a book new, she didn't know where to start.

Fawcett. That was it. Hermione nodded and stored the name to go with the face, just in case she ran into Shelby some other time. "Yes, I am," she said, reaching out to shake the offered hand.

"What are you looking for?" she asked. "I've been looking at the section on magical history, but it might not be appealing to everyone. I could possibly make some suggestions if I knew what topics interested you, though." She held up the one she had been browsing. "This is one I'm considering buying, but I've read some interesting new texts in Charms and Ancient Runes recently, for instance."
