Her skeptical gaze only turned more intense as he spoke. Books were a front for something, but what? Jo wasn't familiar with black market dealings in England, so any guesses she had would likely fall short of the truth. "Fragile, huh?" Mr. Binns ought not to have visited Hogwarts if he thought muggle books were something to be this protective over. Jo still remembered the fear of opening one particularly nasty book in the restricted section. "Are you a distributor of sorts, then? Or just some sort of messenger?"

The dig site was set on a temple believed to have housed an ancient magical civilization, not that Jo was about to divulge such information to a muggle. The last thing she needed was the ministry chasing after her because she brole the secrecy laws. "There's a recently discovered Mayan temple," she said as she carefully considered her words. "We'll be working to study the civiilization further. Truthfully, I've not been there in some time, so I'm not able to say what they've discovered."

Jo took a bite of her meat pie, determined not to become a drunken mess in front of her stranger from home. "The temples are magnificent, though. I highly suggest visiting if you ever have the opportunity."
