Not too far away from the large circular desk-like contraption in the center of the library where the librarian, Mr Kitridge usually can be found keeping a keen eye on the goings of the library and its visitors you can find the records section. If you don’t want to ask for help or assistance right away then check this out. A whole book case has been taken in possession to house the extensive record tomes of past teachers, prefects, awards, champions and all the events big and small that has occurred in Hogwarts long history since its founding many, many years ago. The information is easy to access and anyone is free to consult the records any time they need but be respectful of the tomes age. No tomes may be removed or borrowed from the library without the librarian’s approval or direct instruction.
A set of bookshelves stretches out behind the Librarian’s desk, this is the reference section. The books these shelves hold make up the library’s reference section. Here you can find a complete list of all the books, news papers crammers etc found in the whole of the library. If you need any help the librarian isn't far away.

MORE FIRE!
"TEN POINTS! HAHAHAHAHAH.
Ohhh, Mother of Merlinnnn!
There he was now! Sierra frantically looked around the room, wishing it was suddenly appropriate it dash under a table and hide there forever. Once, she even covered her eyes with the palms of her hands, but she did peek through some openings in between her fingers. She wanted to keep one eye on this Isfret in case he went all ninja!plant on her.
That plant was gone, though...
Sierra removed her hands and just looked at the scene unfolding before her. She picked up Hissy Fit, mainly because she was scared the ghost would fry the kneazle alive if he happened to get too close. "Ten points?" she suddenly said. "Is that...all?" She hated to be the one to break the bad news, but as far as points went around here, ten was sort of low.
Oh, ...MERLIN!
Had she said that outloud?! Sierra grew wide-eyed and suddenly held us Hissy Fit at chest length, just to show Isfret that she could go all 'TEN POINTS' on him, too.

Kurumi continued to hold Walnut on her lap while more and more talking was going on, slowly getting herself caught up on the conversation and trying to muffle Walnut's hisses as Myrtle shouted at Louisa and the Headmistress over the dueling spell. Kurumi was, for lack of a better word, relieved that Isfret couldn't be defeated by a spell that a second year could perform in Dueling Club. It just made everything that had happened this term - all the deaths and destruction - seem...so easily preventable when all she had ever felt was helpless.
At least now Myrtle had given out the spell - not one that the Gryffindor was familiar with but it sounded powerful and her eyes went expectantly to Professor Scabior with the Headmistress told him that the spell was in the book he was looking at...only to see him yawn.
-_________________________________-
Maybe her compliment to him had come a bit prematurely.
There was just a lot going on right now. A LOT.
Kurumi stood up and set Walnut on the table, allowing him to waddle over towards the Headmistress and plop himself in front of her as though expecting worship. Yeah...good luck with that, Walnut.
Her eyes went to the Headmistress before speaking. "Headmistress, what do you want us to do," meaning student leaders present mostly, but also the younger students. Did she want any of them to stay and fight? was this just going to be a professor's brawl? It seemed as though they really just needed A cat according to Myrtle's story. "Walnut, my kneazle," she said, pointing to the stubby legged creature in front of her. "...seems to be volunteering himself for whatever it is you need of him." One last adventure for you too? How fitting...self proclaimed King of the Gryffindors being all....GryffinCat.
And then Isfret finally made his appearance and Kurumi's instincts where to throw herself in front of Penelope, which she did.
And he was shouting about taking POINTS? Really?
But then there was a book on FIRE! Kurumi flicked her wand at it, casting Aguamenti and putting out the flames before more damage could be done.
Walnut, in the meantime, had gone into full on Halloween cat position when the second entity had appeared and was back to hissing at the LOUD noises. Could he pee on this one too? He was TOO LOUD!

Suddenly it seemed like chaos had erupted now that most of the others were back from saving Milton - Penelope assumed he had been saved at least. Why come back if they had failed, right? Especially since they seemed in relatively good spirits despite it all, and they were ready to take on this Isfret and stop it all once it seemed Myrtle was ready to spill the beans on the spell...a spell which Penelope had definitely never heard of before. She probably couldn't even pronounce it.
But then...more chaos happened. Because Isfret happened.
And was shouting at Myrtle to not tell them about him? "Too late for that," she couldn't help remarking. Maybe he should've told her not to tell them BEFORE she did. If he was smarter, at least. Or not tell her stuff about him at all. But it was good for them that he had, so she wasn't really going to complain.
And...there was a book that he threw at Myrtle. A book on fire. Merlin!
Penelope drew her wand quickly, aimed it past Kurumi and at the fiery book, and cast, "Aguamenti!" Water shot out of her wand - yay! success! - and hopefully would put out that fire...
...oh, Kurumi had just taken care of it. Well, a little more water wouldn't exactly hurt. And at least she knew she was still good at casting it.

She was pretty good on ignoring the funny ghost as she and Felix tried getting the books back in the right place. Really, all she was doing was randomly throwing them on a shelf. She barely visited the library, how was she supposed to know where anything went. People should think more. Yup.
As she dropped one of the heavier ones on a random shelf she heard Felix suddenly screech. Seconds later she heard the voice of that ghost they'd been hunting. She flashed around and saw the rather furious ghost but couldn't help the giggle that escaped her lips when he shot a book through Myrtle. Hehe, that was a pretty neat trick." It WAS. Then he said something about ten points. "Neat! Do we get points for aiming at Myrtle too???" She looked over at him eagerly; clearly missing the danger that was right before her.
Felix, on the other hand, didn't. He jumped from her hands and took on a defensive stance before her. "Now now Felix. He's offering points." They could be mean later.
SIGH. Alexa was his human; he loved her...but the girl was dense. He set his eyes on the ghosts once more. Neither of them were allowed near his Lexa.
Kurumi putting out the book barely registered to her...points...book throwing...fun.

Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.
Oakey turned his head when Alexa said she was here to just see the ghost, seriously! This ghost said he was gonna destroy their school and she wanted to see it! He was gonna personally drag her to the Healer if they all made it out of the school alive.
and then there was that loud booming voice again, and Isfret appeared from his cloud of smoke. It surprised Oakey so much that he almost lost grip of Charmer
He hadn't even seen Sierra disappear beside him, he had thought this may have been a trick from Isfret too! If the Slytherin Prefect hadn't spoken up from under the table he was standing by he have thought Isfret poofed her away or something.
He pointed his wand forward and held out his Black Cat. "Leave Myrtle alone!" Oakey yelled at the ghost. Why was he so concerned about a ghost? Really what could happen to her.
There she was peacefully glaring at Scabior yawning and being as bored as he always was, and it was sad that she was going to graduate soon without finding out what excited the man. If there was anything at all. Anyways, there she was when BAMMM! The ghost they were predicting to show up DID appear right next to Myrtle.
... and threw a book at her. Louisa was contemplating this idea for so long she would've cried in victory.. if the book wasn't on fire and wasn't on its way down to the other books! Almost burning them. PHEW.
Her wand was clutched in her hand as she dropped the book she was reading and bent sliiightly to pick up the brooch sitting on the table, curling her hand around it - she held it before and so did a couple of professors. No one seemed to develop a rash yet. GULP. It was just in case this Isfret dude wanted to destroy it and get rid of the ghosts.
Before she could do or say anything else, Alexa was being too reckless as always. The Ravenclaw grabbed the younger girl's arm and dragged her away. "Come back you fool!" Her voice tone was urgent and worried and angry all at the same time, "This isn't a joke!" Breathe breathe.. "Stay with me.." Her eyes found Oakey then and she wanted to roll her eyes at him for defending Myrtle, who was a reason things went this far by holding back information for so long. She was alreadydead anyways.
Then Louisa realized late that her two cats had crept closer to her, standing on alert next to Alexa's cat and shooting piecing looks at the floating wicked Isfret, Viola being more lively than the scared Cuddles.

Well no one was bothering to go put the books away.... so never mind that.... then there was cat headed her way and Annie had to resist the urge to pull the fluffy thing to her chest and cling on to it like it was a life vest and she was a Titanic survivor.
Ahem. She settled for gently petting Hollyberry's cat instead. Then the YOU KNOW WHAT from YOU KNOW WHERE appeared, and the redheaded Headmistress literally flinched in her seat.
Must...not...faint...must...not....faint..... Annie pulled her hands away from her eyes where she'd been hiding from the ghost and swallowed the lump in her throat. She was the leader of this school, still, for now, yes she was. And she was just going to have to stand up to that stupid, evil, ugly... book-lighting-on-fire ghost!
She was about to actually get up when EEEK! BOOK ON FIRE! FIRE IN THE LIBRARY! happened. Annie started gaping and pointing at the book, which went straight through Myrtle like she wasn't even there ha ha. Fortunately, the Gryffindor prefect wasn't quite as freaked by Isfret as her Headmistress was and quickly put it out.
"I think it's time...." she muttered to herself, hands shaking as she pulled herself to an upright, standing position. She clutched her wand in one hand and scooped up Walnut with the other. "On three, let's all release our cats at him... and say the incantation...." If they didn't know what it was... well, then they all really were doomed.
"One..." She hoped this Walnut had good aim....and wouldn't scratch her.... "Two..." Maybe he could aim his pee AT the ghost? That would be brilliant AND insulting to Isfret...
"THREE!" She took a breath and then brandished her wand at Isfret, standing up and letting Walnut go toward the ghost at the same time. "Absentis malum phasmatis. Nos expello vos! Vestri exspectata induco!"
MERLIN that was a tongue-twister! Fingers crossed it worked!!

Well, Kurumi had asked and now she had an answer. Only problem was that she wasn't sure she could repeat THAT incantation. No time to find out like the present, right?
Since she was now felineless thanks to the Headmistress scooping up Walnut, Kurumi instead drew her wand and pointed it as Isfret, following the woman's lead. "Absentis malum phasmatis. Nos expello vos! Vestri exspectata induco!" Hey, look at that. When it really mattered Kurumi could distinguish between a B and a V sounds!
Once Madam Pancake had scooped him up in her arms - NO TOUCHY HUMAN THING - Walnut had tried to squirm away. But then SHE was shouting and then somewhat throwing him in the direction of the other loud thing that had thrown a burning book at the other loud thing. But this loud thing was being loud now so...
Claws out and body bent slightly in flight, Walnut did what he did best.
He peed.
Right in the face of Isfret.
Cue kitty smirk.
Hoping the spell was going to work...Kurumi wrinkled her nose at a familiar smell. Oh Merlin. Could entities go blind? She would apologize for the smell and clean up Walnut's, erm, mess later.

Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.
Oakey looked with a shocked look at Head Mistress she wanted them to release their cats!?!?
What like throw them! Well it certainly seemed like that as it's what she did with Kurumi's Kneazle.
"Here we go, Charmer!" Oakey said as he held his cat up like he was about to throw a muggle football through the air!
He pulled his hand back and released his kitty!c lobbing the black cat directly at Isfret!
Master was taking him somewhere! OH GOODIE A TRIP, but to where and why did he have to travel so strangely in his masters hand!
O____O
Wha! Wha! Wha! MASTER THIS WASN'T A TRIP, THIS WAS MADNESS!
Charmer was terrified, TERRIFIED! but managed to land a top of a bookshelf after pasing through the see-through-not-master. He was so TERRIFIED of masters idea of a trip that he began to cough loudly and …
Ugh! out came a wet and slimy fur ball falling in the direction of the see-through-not-master-person!
Oakey watched his cat land and proceed to cough up onto Isfret, with a huge grin on his face Oakey repeated what it was the Professor had shouted as well pointing his wand directly at the Ancient Ghost."Absentis malum phasmatis. Nos expello vos! Vestri exspectata induco!"
Did he say that right? He didn't even have time to practice.

At least she didn't have that many stairs to climb after her break. Spotting Leobald she walked over to him and rest her hand on his shoulder and even offered him a little smile. "Breath Leo jeez. You'll be no help to anyone if you pass out." He had that I'm about to have my hair cut look on his face which meant he must be pretty darn scared about something at the moment. She was sure the man was fretting on his books.
Leobald was sitting with closed eyes and with his wand in his lap as he waited for Isfret to come through the library doors and rear his transparent head. He didn't see Sophia come in but he heard her voice and how she put a hand on his shoulder.
Opening his eyes to look up at her he produced a small smile for her. "I know. I'll snap out of it soon. I just don’t like that the library has to be our chosen battle ground. There are too many books and students in here---"

He didn’t have time to finish his sentence when Isfret suddenly appeared right beside Myrtle yelling and setting a book aflame. Leo didn’t have time to react before Kurumi and Penelope both had doused the burning book in water. He shot both girls looks of gratitude before eyeing Isfret.
Standing up from his seat Leobald gripped his wand and walked up alongside the Headmistress with hate mixed with wrath visible in his eyes he yelled at the ghost as he aimed with his wand. "Your path of destruction ends right here in this library. You are a nasty piece of ghost that both this school and the world can do without. Be GONE!"
"Absentis malum phasmatis. Nos expello vos! Vestri exspectata induco!" Leo shouted the incantation in chorus with the rest of them. Take that you nasty piece of ghost. Even librarian's have wraths.

"HEY!!" Laura stared at the Is-ugly ghost. "You leave Myrtle alone." Laura wanted nothing better than the kick this ghost or punch him but she knew it wouldn't work so she just hoped the cat would have fun, then one peed on Is-ugly now that was awesome.
Laura looked at Is-ugly and glared. "10 points?" Laura looked up at the ghost. "10 small points?" Laura was insulted. "I get that loads." Laura giggled, seriously that wasn't a big amount, now 1000 points for getting it though Is-ugly head would be worth doing.

Such a nice ghost this one was. She couldn't see why they had a problem with someone that was giving points. She actually encouraged it and it was easily earned by doing something fun. What more could a girl ask fo--
Pulled.
She was being YANKED away from Mr. Nice!Ghost and by Louisa too! She sighed a bit. Obviously it wasn't a joke. People didn't promise points when they were joking. Duh. But she figured the girl might've just been a little scared so she did as she was told and stood next to her. Jeez, if she wanted company all she had to do was ask!
And oh noooooes the Headmistress and everyone were aiming at the Nice!Ghost. This couldn't be happening!! Why? Why? WHY?
She jumped back a bit to get out of the line of fire, she liked the ghost but not enough to think about protecting him, 'specially when so many were aiming and shouting a spell she didn't know. Yeah...better him than her. It'd be such a shame if he left though...
After checking to make sure Lexa was further away, bless that Head Girl's soul, he gave more attention to the ghost...and a rude human throwing one of his own. Pfft. Humans. They didn't know how to care for anything but themselves most times.
He leapt forward at the ghost, fur bristled, teeth bared and hisssssed at it. Back away. Yeah. Away. Away from his Lexa. Anyone else could go but her.

Gemma was just about to thank Myrtle for her help, when the real problem entered the scene. He wasn't exactly what she had imagined in her brain...actually he was honestly quite dashing, she figured he must've been quite a handsome one when he was alive back in the Pharaohs and such time...sad that he was a. a ghost and b. a mean one....
She realized her mouth was hanging open a little bit and she focused back in on the Headmistress' words and with a flick of her right wrist, her wand shot back into her hand and she stood her ground and waited for the three and said with a flick, ""Absentis malum phasmatis. Nos expello vos! Vestri exspectata induco!" and she just hoped that her wand movements were correct and that this would work.
"We're waiting on the ghost in question to actually get here," the redhead answered Sierra dryly. She gave the girl a look and turned back around in her seat. "We might as well put the library books up now...." They didn't want to look suspicious or anything.... IF the ghost was even coming here...
Myrtle's eyes became huge when the Headmistress talked to the Head Snake Girl and she began to cry and make little eeeeppppp noises, "WHAT!!!!! he....Isfret...is headed this way...." she started floating in circles trying to figure out what to do...did she stay where the Professors and students would keep her safe or did she go to the safe walls of her bathroom....she was just about to jet out of the room and go hide when....

She squeelled as the book hurled towards her and through her head....why did this always happen to hear...could no one come up with a better way to hurt her....and then the students started helping to put out the book on fire...yes...they did love her....
She quickly floated behind the line of Professors and students ducking behind the Headmistress. And she joined in on the countdown for the spell with a determined face on and she whispered to the ghost teasingly, "Bye!"

Who Am I? Ern's 2460FUN
Selina did not think that she had fallen so far behind in the chase to get back up to the library, but one minute she was with everyone and the next she was all alone. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that she was cuddling her long lost broom, Mortimer, or maybe it had something to do with the fact that she was talking to it like a baby and whispering sweet nothings to it. Whatever the reason, she had fallen behind the rest of the crowd. And yet, somehow, if she was going to die today from being the one idiot who got left behind, at least she would have, you know, her bat to keep her company.
People always said that you can't take it with you, but if ANYONE from the next world tried to take her bat away from her there would be serious problems. Isfret would be pudding by the time she was done with him.
Alas, that was not necessary. Because she did eventually she did make it to the library alive, which was a shame. She was looking forward to turning people into pudding with her handy, dandy MORTIMER. OH HOW SHE HAD MISSED HIM! Now she could die with no regrets. The bat was back.
But what she did not expect upon entering the library was all of the adults yelling in bad Latin, the big bad ghost guy screaming about his story or something AND Walnut peeing on the ghost.
WAIT, WALNUT WAS PEEING ON THE GHOST?! For once in her life, she did something she swore she would never do, "YEAH YOU GO WALNUT! PEE ON THAT GHOST!" He was the man of the hour. Or would he have been the kitty of the hour?
Where was she? One minute she was following the Professors and the others and thensudeenly she was hopelessly lost. Why was this school so annoyingly complicated?
She went around one corner, down some corrider and up some stairs but STILL no one. She was about start calling out randomly when she heard some kind of voice yelling about points. Pfft. Who cared about those? But the voice meant there were others so she headed into the library and got to the references section in time to see everyone to throwing spells at a...ghost?
W-What? A...a...g-g-ghost? And there were two of them! This was where she left. She should go...but her feet wouldn't do what she said.
Ugh, why do I always get myself into these kind of situations?

...Yeah, Penelope had no idea what the Headmistress had just shouted or what the others were saying. The only word she really caught was the "expello" part, so she assumed they were supposed to be expelling Isfret and stuff. They probably wouldn't want her trying to cast the spell though - with her luck and rubbish spell casting, she'd probably mess it all up and then Isfret would attack them all. So all she did was just lazily hold her wand and remark, "Yeah, what they said." Whatever that was.
Oh, and yeah, Walnut was pretty cool attacking Isfret with pee. Not sure how effective it would be since he was a ghost and all, but cats were supposed to be bad for him, so that probably went for their pee too, yeah? So it was probably helpful to the spell and what not.
But then...

She noticed a first year girl that she didn't think she had noticed over there before, and she was standing alone. That...probably wasn't good, right? So moving away from Kurumi, Penelope went over and, offering the girl a small and hopefully reassuring smile, stood in front of the girl, standing between her and the ghost much the same way Kurumi had for her. Isfret probably wasn't gonna be able to do anything with all those spells coming at him, but better to be safe and keep someone else safe than sorry, right?

Buurrrning book. But it hadn't been burning long before the students put it out. THAT WAS OKAY.
"TEN MORE POINTS!" Another burning book went flying straight toward Myrtle. "AND HOW ABOUT TWENTY!?!" A number of books suddenly ignited floated off the shelf and where thrown not only at Myrtle but at students (Oakey, Selina, Penelope) as well.
"MOR- GET THIS THINNNNNG AWAY FROM ME!!!!" Isfret shrieked as the cat started to PEEEEEEEE so close to him! EVILCATEVIL! OH-AND OTHER TOO!! "AWAY!" He yelled throwing burning books at each of the cats.
BURN CATS! BURN BOOKS! BURN LIBRARY! THEY HAD BURNED HIS PLANT! THEY HAD KICKED HIM OUT OF HOGWARTS BEFORE! THEY WOULD ALL SUFFER!
Isfret's eyes suddenly widdened so busy with the cats, he hadn't noticed the Headmistresses wand. "NO! NO! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" The ghost hollered as EVERYONE of those stupid teachers and snot nosed brats began to say THE WORDS. "SHUT UP!" A gaping hole appeared in his stomach, growing bigger and bigger as each person uttered the incantation, expelling him from the castle from the inside. Isfret could only scream in rage, and soon only his face was left.
That was when a wicked smile crossed his face, and the exact moment that he vanished completely a giant ball of flame exploded in the library. Fire roared clinging onto books, bookcases, floors, and even the Librarian's hair.
The vengeful ghost Isfret was gone.
But the library was on fire, and the fire was quickly spreading.
Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite
From the corner of her eyes she noticed Alice enter the area. She was wondering if she would even show up; the girl was frightfully terrified of ghosts.
Her focus shifted again when the ghost began screaming something about more points but this time she had a bit of a problem with it...he was burning books--don't get her wrong, burning books was a fully condoned act by her, it was just the fact that he was throwing them at people afterwards. That part wasn't so cool...
Her eyes went wide when he started throwing burning books at Felix and the other felines. Luckily the kneazle had good reflexes 'cause this ghost was ruuude.
Her eyes widened even more as he began to disappear and there was a giant ball of flame--A GIANT BALL OF FLAME!?!?!?
Lex quickly ran from Louisa's side and grabbed Felix who just seemed to be spinning as he watched the flames. Wow. This guy was pretty smart...burn the place with a lot of books. Books were flammable...good thinking dude--er...but this was no time to marvel at his genius. They had fire to extinguish.
Uuuhhhhh....
This is where the older, more experienced people stepped in and saved the day while she screamed random shouts of encouragement!

Kurumi had NO idea what had just happened because her attention had gone into complete tunnel vision the moment Isfret had thrown a burning book at Walnut, hitting the kneazle head on and knocking him to the ground where he had stayed. Before the Gryffindor could move an inch there was ANOTHER explosion and now the ENTIRE library was up in flames.
Okay, so maybe it was selfish, but that was HER familiar. A gift from her mother and someone who had been with her for all seven years and was like family. So, forgive this selfish Gryffindor for going to her pet first and scooping him up off the ground. His whiskers were badly singed, as was his fur, but he was still breathing. Kurumi tucked him into her robes and then did the next thing that came to mind - Bubble Head Charm.
Professor Lafay had done so when her store cupboard had burst into flames. Speaking of which...Kurumi had been there for that explosion too...technically been the cause of it. Oops.
Spotting Alexa nearby, Kurumi quickly performed a Bubble Head Charm on the younger lion to make sure she could still breathe too. "*Cough COUGH* If you know the spell, Bubble Head Charm yourself so you don't suffocate from the flames! Older students help the younger ones."
Ug. Smoke. Flames. HEAT! Kurumi couldn't see much...and one of her hands was currently clutching Walnut inside her robes.

Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.
Why was this ghost so intent on taking points from him and throwing burning books at Myrt...no, wait those were coming toward him! "Protego" but Oakey's reaction time was too slow and was hit with two blazing books that were quicker than his shield charm! His sweater vest had caught some of the flames quickly at the stomach and Oakey pulled it off his body before it could fully catch on fire!
He was about to yell something rather un-Oakey like at the Ghost, but had stopped as he saw Isfret now shooting the books at their cats! Luckily Charmer jumped from the top of the book shelf and darted out of the library before Oakey could run over to his cat and make sure he was fine.
Then there was another Explosion, and this one Oakey was not getting away from he ducked under a table and covered his head under his and shoulders and arms. He pulled his head out the see the horrific sight of a Library covered in flames. He dragged himself out from under table only to find that his shoulder had been caught on fire now. *cough cough* "Aguamenti" Oakey said dosing the shoulder in water then directing it towards a few piles of books to put them out! *cough cough*
The smoke was getting to his lungs quickly, what was it that Kurumi told them to cast? *cough cough*
The bubble head charm, he flicked his wand and the water ceased coming from the tip. he then pointed it to his face and formed the bubble around his face.
Things were starting to get rather fuzzy, but Oakey did his best to hold himself up staggering some. The Bubble Head Charm was helping getting oxygen back into his lungs.

WHAT was with this guy and SHOUTING about POINTS? Merlin's beard, was he- Merlin's beard!
Penelope saw the flaming book hurtling toward her and had just enough time to point her wand and shout "Aguamenti!" once more. The water shot from her wand, extinguished the fire, and managed to slow it down just enough for her to shield her face with her arms. The soggy, ashy book smacked into them instead of her face, so it didn't hurt as much as it could have. Her arms felt kinda icky now though. But she would deal with it. And at least it had hit her instead of the first year behind her.
And then...just when she'd thought Isfret wouldn't be able to do anything else...he proved her wrong by vanishing and then exploding the library and setting it on fire. Great. Thanks for that, Isfret.
Coughing as the fire and the smoke quickly spread, she covered her mouth with her free hand and tried to cast Aguamenti on the nearest parts of the fire, but she couldn't say it as clearly as before between all the coughing, so the feeble squirts of water that came from her wand didn't help much.
So now what?
And how in Merlin's name did you cast a Bubble Head Charm??

Why was it that every time you solved a problem, another one sprang up IMMEDIATELY in its place? For example, the students and professors saved Hogwarts and banished the evil ghost. Then the evil ghost set the library on fire in the process of being banished. WAS IT NOT ENOUGH that he had already eaten TWO members of staff AND the groundskeeper's PET WOMBAT?! WAS THIS TERM OVER YET?!
"For the love of Merlin...." Anastasia grumbled, actually not panicking now that the ghost had been eliminated... or so it seemed. They should all be CELEBRATING right now, not all coughing and hacking!
Anyway, her wand was already out, so as soon as the fire ball exploded, she quickly re-cast her shield charm that was already on the library and started calling out orders.
"Gemma, get the kids out of here," she coughed. "And their pets. Please. Professors, put out that fire!" Who had the brooch now?! Annie just now noticed that it was missing from the table... but there was no time for that. She had to get control of that fire!
"AQUA ERUCTO!" the redhead shouted, moving her wand in a sweeping motion as a long, hard, icy blue stream of water gushed out. The spell made her look quite like a Muggle firefighter, actually. And hopefully she'd look even more like one when she successfully put it out. So long as Isfret hadn't used fiendfyre...

Sierra was trying to remain calm in the face of danger, but...it was starting to get a litle difficult. When was this ghost just going to leave and let them get back to the peace and quiet of the end of the school year?!
...and now the library was on fire! ON FIRE! They were all going to die soon, weren't they?! Sierra was just about ready to panic when somewhere in the chaos, she picked up on the sound of Kurumi's voice. Ahh, Kurumi Hollingberry. Sierra was going to miss that girl. Her helpfulness had sort of...ehh, grown on the Slytherin.
Nevermind that! They were all going to die soon if somebody didn't do SOMETHING! She was just about ready to cast the Bubble-Head Charm, when the voice of Truebridge rang out, as well. The kids were supposed to get out now?! ...but what about the fire?! The professors! She didn't want any more of them to die--especially not her mother!
...but--...but. She was already clutching her wand, wanting to cast, but then she thought of all the younger students that just weren't as skilled yet. "Come on, Penelope! Alexa! Let's get out here," she said. "You, too, Oakey." She knew Kurumi would likely follow on her own. She gestured for the younger ones to start making their way out.
