Once I got close I peeked around the shelves, peering at Daphne. She was sitting by herself in the corner chair. She looked regal. Book in hand while the other had her elbow on the armchair. Her left leg was crossed over her right. In essence, she looked beautiful. I could see those bright blue eyes scanning the page of the book. Occasionally her tongue would poke out of her mouth. If we were not in Hogwarts, I would expect her to have a glass of wine next to her. I had to clamp down on the rising heat slowing encompassing me.
