*Thinking that you know far too little about you resident librarian you come into her office which before had been just another room for books. She has a large cherry wood desk and the walls seem like they are made out of bookshelves because you can hardly see any wall behind them. An oak ladder leans against one of the bookshelves and runs along the rail magically as certain books come off the shelves and others are replaced with an invisible hand as the ladder passes. Books are scattered all about the floors in large stacks but as you move towards Madame Rowena's desk you arrive at two large leather chairs in front of her desk. Along the bookshelves behind her desk however you see many pictures suspended mid-air without frames. Many are of the librarian on her expeditions during her holiday. The one that catches you eye; however, is where Madame Rowena is standing next to a cave wall where an ancient family tree is displayed. Away from her pictures frames you see a swirling pensive and numerous jeweled books in a glass cabinet behind her desk. You see that a brass lock holds the cabinet closed and look away in order to not attract attention to yourself. On her desk, a large scroll has been rolled out and books used are used paper weights to keep the scroll from curling. The scroll seems completely black, but as you look through the magnifying glass suspended in the air; you see very ancient scriptures and symbols from ancient wizarding books. At this very moment Madame Rowena comes through the door and is excited to see her first visitor*

"Hello! How are you today? I was just doing some research on the four founders of Hogwarts, a particular hobby of mine. Please come in, is there anything in particular I can help you with?” says Madame Rowena with great warmth.

*Madame Rowena ponders Phoebe's question for a moment*

"I'm just wondering, have you spoken to Professor Mao-McDougal and Professor Dainsie? I have a feeling they might be able to provide you with better information that I in this area of knowledge. However, one question that comes to my mind is if teaching and working with children would be an interest to you, or would you prefer a more professional ministry atmosphere? I ask this because as a professor at a school you can practice hands-on in one of these interest areas of yours. However, there are ministry research teams which study new breeds of animals and collect new magical plants that are surfacing. In both of these extensive charmwork knowledge would be an asset. It is more of an innovative, creative network, but that may appeal to you also," she states.

Phoebe thought about what Madame Rowena was saying. Then she replies "I dont wan to work in an office but I dont think I would be a good teacher soo probably with the Ministry. Thanks" Phoebe said making a note to herself she she must go and visit the other teachers. Deciding that that was all the information she needed from the Librarian about that she decided to change the topic. " Do you ever need help in the library?" She asked then remembering another question she wanted to ask her she said. "Did you go to Hogwarts, If you did what house were you in?" She asked waiting for a reply.

"Well, I'm glad I started you out in the right direction. I think it would be best to research all potential options. As for help in the library, I don't require much help as mostly everything is done by magic now. If I do need help, however, I will make sure to let you know," she states while listening to Phoebe's last question. "Yes, I did go to Hogwarts and I was a Ravenclaw myself. Many people always thought it was meant to be," she says.

"yeah, I agree you suit ravenclaw. Your so far ahead in points. Do you follow Quidditch?" Phoebe asked looking around the office. "What do you like doing?" She asked then remembering that she was talking to a librarian she added. "Do you know any good books?"

MadameRowena · 06-13-2006, 10:59 PM

"Ah, Quidditch," she says aloud. "Something I enjoy watching once in awhile but I have never gotten completely obsessed with it. As for my interests I enjoy studying old magical texts such as scrolls from temples and other abandoned magical places. However, my main area of research is the origin of the four founders," she states with enthusiasm. "And asking whether I know of any good books? Far too many! Was there a certain area in particular you were wondering about?" she asks.

"Well. I'm not sure if wizards have these. I havent seen any. Just stories." She asked. "What do you know about Helga Hufflepuff?" Phoebe asked wondering about her house founder. Then she remembered about what happened in the owlery so she said "Can Owls be intercepted?"

MadameRowena · 06-17-2006, 05:35 AM

"Dear Helga Hufflepuff, so much to say. Let's just say that the people within the Hufflepuff house truly represent the many sides of her character. As for owls being intercepted. It is quite easy for it to happen. I know that in the past when the school wished to step up security measures searching the owls was a common occurence," she states.
