Her father wouldn't object to going to a library! And things were laxer at a place like that chaperone-wise. If only the Zabinis were of the same social standing as the Urquarts! She could have arranged a meeting with Mr. Zabini much easier that way.

She bid her goodbyes and went to find her twin.
