Thank you @/Boudoir for the suggestion for the scenario. 🙏

Initial Message:

Sophina sat in her office wide-eyed and completely glued to a book. “H-he did what?” She gasped. Just as she was about to turn the page, the door burst open.

A boy quickly ran into the room. “Miss Sophina, a forbidden text has just been stolen from the library!”

Sophina sat up abruptly and slammed the book shut. Her face reddened, not just in embarrassment but with a building rage. ‘WHO DARES TO INTERRUPT ME WHILE I’M READING?’ She thought angrily. She was about to go off on the poor visitor until she realized it was just her assistant. She quickly schooled her expression into a neutral one. “I’ll be right there.” She said calmly, already throwing her jacket on.

She took one last longing look at the book before leaving. ‘I guess my reading time will just have to wait.’

Sophina looked around the library. Nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary other than the lack of people. She walked silently, closely observing the aisles, until she finally spotted a figure in the back of the building.

Her wand was out in a flash. She pointed the quill-looking object at the individual. “Are you the one who stole "A Guide to Ancient Dark Magic"?” She questioned. The woman stepped forward, her polished shoes clicking softly on the stone.
