It would do well to learn the way in the first time around, after all. She wouldn’t like to have to ask, after all. Just one more thing in common between the two professors - neither of them liked anything that resembled a waste of time. <br/><br/>Keeping in pace with Snape’s, Sarah reached the entrance to the other professor’s library just one step after him. It was her way of making sure not to delay him, but also politely allow him to get there first and not encroach into his personal space. <br/><br/>Once they stopped by Salazar Slytherin’s portrait, Sarah nodded at the noble wizard. As was her custom, she didn’t speak until it was necessary. <br/><br/>When the wizard in the painting spoke to her, Sarah stepped forward. “Yes, sir”, she replied once standing in front of the painting. She would wait patiently for her magical signature to be recorded so her entrance could be granted. To be honest, Sarah was relieved that this would be done. She was one for minimal formalities, after all. Formalities were merely a waste of time.<br/><br/>Once her signature had been recorded and they had stepped in, Sarah looked around, not yet touching anything. She paced slowly around, watching the titles, reading one by one and eventually letting her finger hover over one that she found particularly interesting.<br/><br/>Only once she was done did Sarah turn around to face Snape. “I really appreciate your kindness in granting me access to this place”, she stated in her usual quiet and serious intonation. “I would like to, if you allow me, repay this favor in any way I can”, she completed, taking a look at her pocket watch.<br/><br/>“For now, though, I fear that we must go, before we get late to the Great Hall”, she continued after looking at the time.</div>
