Slowly, gathering books and papers into bundles and turning this way and that as if to find suitable space on which to relieve his hands of them. "You may call me Jasper, if you like. It is my name." He said with a smile. Yes, they all knew that. And the Department Head flopped a book on Ancient Mayan Astrology, two folders and leaflets upon leaflets of parchment sheets onto the top of a nearby filing cabinet. Once the desk was clear, he took a seat. "What I know...Well, it's the sort of thing a dark wizard would create. There are, of course, other instances through time of books...being magicked to do the bidding of some dark wizard or another. Usually, it fell under the jurisdiction of communication. But they could be used for anything, really. I prefer to hold my judgements, but one thing is obvious: In the wrong hands, the book is highly dangerous. We will have to employee our best security with such an object."
"Mr. Kitridge, if you'd like to relieve your burden?" He said, inviting the younger of the two to place the book upon his desk. "Let's have a look at it shall we?" Jasper was imagining a heinous or even wicked looking typeface to be present. Something part way between wicked and playful to be lumped into the same category as mischievous without outright being so. Something that would interest children of Hogwarts age, the temptation of a perfect union of forbidden and harmless.
"And you say this thing...this book...possessed people? Including yourselves?" Or did he misunderstand Mr. Kitridge's owl? "Jasper, you may call me Leobald." Leo said in return. If they were going to lay the formal pleasantries aside then the ministry department head might as well call him by his first name too. He watched silently, still hugging the bag to his chest, as Jasper cleared his desk of files and books. With a glance over at Abraham he walked over to put the bag on the desk. With very light and cautions hands and fingers Leo pulled out the sleeping book and placed it on top of the bag.
Taking a step back Leo exhaled audibly before he met Jasper’s gaze. "I'm not comfortable taking off the belt or lifting any of the spells I've put on the book and we're not removing Abraham's runic ward either. The book is too dangerous. Your experts can lift everything in the sanctity of their secure testing area." Let’s not take unnecessary risks.
Nodding he affirmed sadly. "Yes, this book possessed members of Hogwarts staff and numerous Hogwarts students. I however was not possessed but Abraham here was." Leo trailed off to look at his friend and colleague. "You were possessed to act and talk like a character out of a children's fairytale right Abraham?" The ball was in Botros court if he felt comfortable sharing the little he remembered from the possession.
