"Everyone remove your shoes and hold them up where I can see them before stepping inside." And Merlin help them if their socks weren't clean. She would NOT have her office smelling of feet just to accommodate the students.
Penny looked at the librarian, listening intently to the instructions..... She happily took off her shoes to shoes the lady... Penny had never seen the librarian before even though she was in her second year now...
Last year she, Penny, had stood here for over five hours waiting to see the librarian and she never got to see her.... At least this time the door had opened..
Walking over the threshold in her sock soles, Penny waited for everyone else to finish - she didn't want the whole school to know
her business.

Penny wondered how much longer she would have to stand here like an ugly wall flower in her sock soles - She was also wondering if the librarian did not like her - But Penny knew that would not be the reason...because as far as she knew, the librarain did not know her, Penny, and they had never even spoke before..
Although, this was not Penny's doing....last year she had stood for 5 hrs waiting for an audience with the librarain and now this year she had stood for over 6 hrs..... and still hadn't managed to speak to elusive Madam Donavan..
Penny walked out of the room and put on her shoes again.... Vowing to herself never to set foot inside Madam Donovans library as long as she attended Hogwarts school..... Nope she would get her research books sent to her from home !!!!
Closing the door quietly, Penny left and returned to her common room, deep in thought about what had just happened... Thinking she might have a word with her prefect or head of house about the lack of assistance she had received and whether or not this was normal behaviour for a 'librarian'.
