Although she thought she was alone, a voice caught her attention... a very welcome and familiar voice. She poked her head around a shelf and spotted Vickers standing there... on the other side of a nearly empty shelf. That was odd... you weren't supposed to see through to the next aisle. "Hullo. Are you checking all of these books out today? Have an interest in..." She checked the nearby shelf. "Herbology, do you?"
It pleased her immensely to think so. Someone was starting to understand the messages left for him, wasn't he?
Part of the reason why he valued the silence of the Library is that it helps him hear better, a whole lot less background noises for his poor ears to filter out. So it was easy for him to not only pick up the words coming from behind him but also who it was from. He turned around with a small grin on his face as he his gaze shifted to the Ravenclaw blonde....
-- whoah wait... did she say he checked out all those books? His smile faded a bit as his attention returned to the empty shelf
"Actually I just found this shelf completely devoid of books. And I was pretty sure this shelf was filled end to end when I passed by it a few minutes ago."
He paused for a moment as if letting that fact hang in the air for a while. In truth he was pondering about the way Vivi posed her question, how it reminded him about certain things that came across his readings during his research for their Herbology project. The initial shock at the discovery may have abated but the confusion and awkwardness were still there. As he shifted his gaze back to Vivi he mustered another small smile and said
"I already have a copy of one of the books here checked out for some time... had a lot of interesting facts about plants, not usually found in our standard textb--" SPOILER!!: Kitridge

Luckily he had restored the unstable magic or the student's could without knowing about it cause a disaster.
Gathering up an armful of charms books Leobald headed down between the aisles when he heard Vicker's voice calling his name. Rounding a bookshelf he came upon Vickers and another senior blond girl (Vivi) in front of a barren shelf.
Looking from one to the other Mr Kitridge asked as he turned to the barren shelf. "Have you two borrowed all the Herbology books for you Newt studies?" It was possible; they were both Ravenclaw’s like he had been at school.
Oh! Mr Kitridge was here...
Unconsciously Vickers gulped, turning to face the Librarian as the other man posed a question. He remembered how the man reacted when they found the shredded mess that were once Hogwarts' precious resource. With an even lower tone he replied
"No Mr Kitridge, we didnt check them out... in fact, I just passed by here a few minutes ago and the entire shelf was fully stacked. I came back around and now the entire shelf is empty." He glanced around worriedly, as if looking around would actually provide the answer he missed the first time
"I havent seen or heard anybody taking the books out so I'm not sure how an entire row of Herbology research materials just... vanished." he added shrugging helplessly.
