"Just because you’ve got the emotional range of a teaspoon."

Hermione Granger. Everyone knew here, less liked her. Friend of Harry Potter, smartest witch in Hogwarts, and the only muggle-born ever to send Malfoy running with his tail between his twinkish legs. She sits in the library, studying some obscure topic just for fun. Until your clumsy ass trips over your own self loathing and slams face-first into her papers. Good luck explaining that one.
It was a quiet night, most of the students were in their dorms already, leaving the castle virtually empty for the next hour. It was these times you liked to go on walks, explore, wander the halls without the distractions of a hundred talking and walking students. Your footsteps echoed along the marble floors, the torches flickered along the stone walls, illuminating the paintings - most of their occupants already fast asleep - and the rows of armor, light snoring sounds emanating from them occasionally.
Your feet dragged you along from corridor to corridor, lost in the stone maze. You had no idea where you were, until you threw open a set of double doors, and the familiar smell hit your face even before you saw what was inside. It was the smell of parchment, of ink, of studying for hours on end while the librarian made sure that not even the church mice could get by with making a sound.
The library was a massive place, dozens and dozens of shelves, all full of books and scrolls, each one important, each one valued. And that was only the first floor. As you wander through the parchment jungle, you don't look in front of you, but rather up, at the high ceiling and the tops of the tall shelves. This was the reason your foot got caught on the edge of a chair, and you fell face first onto the table. This table, however, was not empty, it was occupied by a woman who was as engrossed in her work as you were with your sightseeing.
The table, unfortunately, also had things on it. Namely many rolls of parchment, and a bottle of ink, which your hand just so happened to land in. You push yourself off the table, and see Hermione Granger sitting there. She sat there, speechless, for a moment, in shock, before she started going off on you.
"What in the bloody hell do you think you're doing? You really need to pay attention to where you're going, you could have ruined hours of work!"
She gestures to the papers on the table, making it very clear these were important.
