<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #FFFF00">Severus Tobias Snape</span></div><br/><br/>Grateful she didn't feel the need for incessant chatter he would have just ignored. He hated small talk and made a point to ignore all of it. Well as much as he was able to without being outright rude. Though at times he really was rude on purpose as he had no desire to contribute to useless conversation. He was equally glad she didn't delay him by lingering behind or encroach on his personal space. He hated physical contact about as much as small talk. Enjoying his personal space and his silence.<br/><br/>Severus remained silent and observed as Salazar recorded her magical signature and proceeded to open for them to access the library within. The room was easily six or seven times larger then should have been specially possible given where they were. Spanning three stories upwards with spiral balconies and large stairwells. Every available surface was covered in books and bookcases. Not a single space seemed free from the organized chaos within. Severus gave a wry smile as he watched her walking amongst the first floor.<br/><br/>"There are three more stories much like this one. I would advice dedicating a day of your time to seeing how it is organized. I have a unique style of organization that well suits my needs, see to it it isn't disrupted. There are two others who have access, but only so long as I am either with them or in this library itself. My two seventh year prefects who will bring books too and from this library to the Slytherin Common Room for students to use," Severus explained mater of factly as he merely nodded to her words. He didn't like to dwell on what her idea of 'repayment' might be. He had no interest in that right now. Simply cultivating another contact who could prove useful in his acquisition of rare ingredients seemed to be his motive for now.<br/><br/>"Indeed. I detest tardiness," Severus stated bluntly as he regarded her. "Shall we then?" Severus inquired indicating the still open doorway that led out of his library. Though in truth the library had been started by Salazar himself and though Severus had been the one to add the greater majority to it, it belonged to every Head of Slytherin House. It came with the post. Something Severus greatly enjoyed. Known for his collection of rare books. He had added much to this library and cultivated it to his desired tastes.
