Normally you wouldn't find Protégé in the library. He was a man who learned on the road, and that's the way it had always been for him. In all his time at Firefox, he had never visited the library. It was a room that just didn't fit in with him, no matter how much he needed research. He did what he had to do, and he made do with what he had. He had schoolbooks for information. But now he was going into magic schoolbooks and teachers wouldn't help him with, and that required him to do additional research. And where did a man end up when he needed research? A library. A land of words and comtemplative thinking. Not a place for an instinctive wanderbird who discovered that fire hurt by sticking his hand in it. But war made people do stuff they had never done before.
Since he was probably going to be at the library for awhile, Protégé dressed in clothes he was comfortable in. He wore blue jeans, he wore a gray t-shirt, and he had his boots on. His dagger was hidden, strapped to his right leg, and his wand was hidden on the other leg. His hair was uncombed so it went where it willed, but he had pushed it over a bit so it would stay out of his eyes better. Protégé might not be an avid reader, but he would get focused on his work, and he didn't want his hair to distract him. Hopefully, he wouldn't have to spend long researching to find what he needed, but you never knew how long stuff like this would take. He could be in here for minutes, he could be here for days.
Ignoring all the other people who were in the library, Protégé marched over to the sections of books on animals. He had long envied animals and their natural skills in surviving in the environment, and he had always wished he could become one. However, he never had sufficient motivation to spend hours studying and practing in order to turn himself into an animal. Transfiguration class was something he had rarely attended. Of course, in a time of war, where there was low intel, what better way to investigate than as an animal? However, he had to find that perfect animal to turn into. And when the Society of Shadows and their leader always made him think of scorpions, what better thing to turn into than an animal that was an enemy to the scorpion?
Of course, he knew no animals that were enemies to the scorpion, so that was why he was here. To research the scorpion, find its enemies, and find out information about that. Of course, he would have to then do research on how to turn into the animal, but that was a bridge he'd cross when he got there. For now, all he could do was browse the shelves of this library, searching for answers in these tomes. He had come to this library for a purpose, and he wouldn't leave until he was done or until they kicked him out. And even then he'd stay, and rake up massive amounts of time in detention probably. But he had come to this library to become an animagi, and no matter what, that was what he was going to do.
