The book intrigued Casimir. It was ancient, giving the indication that it was written many, many years ago by some unknown author. Unknown to him at least. What was most intriguing about the tome was its scratched out title. Now Casimir was really curious, and had half a mind to simply put Artemis to sleep, wipe his mind, and keep the book for himself. But he couldn't do that, particularly to someone who had done him no wrong. "Mind telling me what's on the first page? Reading is something I enjoy doing, particularly when the content has been hidden away as this book would suggest...."

Artemis's crimson gaze immediately glanced at Casimir once he heard the voice, and the Slytherin mentally berated himself for not taking cautionary measures. Regardless of if the older male was Slytherin or not, he was still a stranger, and therefore shouldn't be trusted enough to get comfortable around. However, seeing as the other male was already aware of the book, Artemis untensed his arms and breathed out a small, silent breath.

"...Corda aperire anima Vae librum legendum. Vere enim obscuris, sed non est malum et obscura sunt?" As he read the tongue, twisting, lilting words, the book glowed a sickly green color, obviously reacting to the strange chant, yet not ready to activate.

"I believe that it is Latin in nature."
