Default Office of Mr Kitridge


The first you see is the fishing gear hanging on pins left of the doorway. The new librarian is a bit fishing obsessed so he has brought some fishing equipment if time lets him explore the great lake’s fishing possibilities. The next thing you feel is cozy warmth emanating from the roaring fire place nearby. Remembering the chilliness of the halls and rooms in the castle from his years here Mr Kitridge has taken steps to see too that at least one place is warm and comfortable. In the center of the office you see what should be a desk under all the stuff currently placed on it like charts, crammers, stacks of books, an odd telescope or crystal ball and last but not least a big bowl of candy. Behind the desk, a large comfy char with a pillow in it is situated.

Hanging on the walls around the office are portraits of former notable librarians like Madam Pince, Madam Rowena, Angela Kohan, David Kapoor and Madam Donovan. The collection of portraits/photographs is completed with some Kitridges who've been successful in some way or other through the course of time. No office of a librarian is complete without a curvy s-shaped bookshelf to the right of the doorway stalked with the latest books on the market. If you are nice you might even get to borrow one.



OCC: I will not have an arrival thread so please don't clog up the thread with 'waiting to enter' posts. Have your character knock on the door and then wait for Mr Kitridge to allow you to enter or to come back later. If you have any questions or want to set up a meeting don't hesitate to PM or VM me.

After stopping for a few things in the dormitory, Ethan headed down to the fourth floor, his messenger bag strap slung across his shoulder. The library wasn't exactly his favorite place, though he had grown quite accustomed to it last term with all his OWL studying, but he needed to see Mr. Kitridge. And right away was probably best.

The sixth year walked briskly through the library until he came to the librarian's office. Stepping up to the door, the boy gave a couple knocks, then stepped back, waiting to be let in. Hopefully the guy was in his office..

Leaving Sophia's office Leobald headed into the library to see if his new pets had made any damage on the furniture. Madonna, the white long haired main coon cat was sleeping on top of the front desk counter whereas her sister Bianca was nowhere in sight.

Picking up the sleeping cat gingerly into his arms Leobald left the library and headed to his office where he found a boy waiting for him. "Hello, Ethan right? Want to come inside?" Managing the hard task of opening his office while carrying a cat, Leo pushed open the door after some maneuvering and headed inside expecting the boy to follow him.

Ethan stared at the closed door expectantly for a moment, waiting to be let in. He was starting to think maybe the librarian wasn't in his office at all when he heard his name from behind him. Turning his head, he noticed the very person he was looking for with a large cat in his arms.

"Oh, hi, Mr. Kitridge," he said, slightly surprised that the man knew his name. Though he supposed after the many hours he had spent here last term, the man's observation must have kicked in even if they hadn't been formally acquainted. "Yeah, I would, if you don't mind," he responded to the invitation as he followed the librarian inside.

He lugged his heavy bag in with him, still slung around his shoulder. "I trust you had a good summer?" The boy did have reason to be here, but felt the need to start with pleasantries first. He did have manners after all.

"I don't mind at all." Leo called over his shoulder as he went to deposit Madonna in the huge sleeping basket where Bianca was already sleeping. Placing Madonna next her sister, he stared a few seconds at his two sleeping Maine Coon's. Turning his full attention to Ethan he gestured for the young man to take a seat in one of the green plush comfy chairs not too far away from where the cats were sleeping.

Claiming the other green comfy chair Mr Kitridge smiled. "Yes I had a good summer. I went to the Canary Islands for two weeks and just relaxed. It was nice." He didn't mention how he had been scouting for book donations every chance he got to replace all the books that had been destroyed in the fire.

"Did you have a good summer Ethan?"

Gemma walked slowly up to the door of the librarian with an armful of more books for the library. She had stressed about the libraries condition all through the summer so she had made a few calls and had found a few more Muggle books to donate.

The professor softly knocked on the door and hoped that the Librarian still needed books..and Muggle books at that.

Ethan took a seat in the proffered chair, setting his bag down on the floor next to him. Turning his eyes on the man in the other chair, the boy gave him a pleasant smile at his words. "Sounds like a great holiday.. I've never been there, but maybe someday." The sixth year loved to travel to different parts of the world and made a mental note to go there at some point as well.

"I did, thanks," he nodded as Mr. Kitridge turned the question to him. "Really busy though. Spent most of it in London doing an internship at the post office, but I got to go home to Germany for a bit and I got to visit the US some as well."

But for the real reason he stopped in.. Ethan gave the librarian a sort of sympathetic look and said. "Um.. Mr. Kitridge.. I was wondering how the renovations were going? I um, told my parents about the fire and we went through some of our books at home. I brought a few for the library here." He glanced down at the bag by his feet. "I don't know if you could use them or not." Ethan shrugged lightly, not knowing exactly what books he needed or if he still needed any at all.

Leobald was sitting at his desk exploring the content of a big box which his mother had sent over with the explicit note that he had to look through it since she had gone through the trouble of cleaning the attic to find his and his siblings old school books. He loved her for the effort she had put down for him and the library. He was going to remember to buy something nice in Hogsmeade for her when--. His trail of thought was ended by a knock on the door.

"Come in!" he called out.

From the cat basket he heard the occasional sound as the cats dreamt about mice no doubt. "It was a great holiday." Mr Kitridge nodded. "You should go there someday maybe even after graduation. You don’t have that many years left to graduation?" He inquired. Not that he knew. Ethan could have several years to go and he had mixed him up with another boy. It happened not often but sometimes.

"How did you like your internship at the post office?" he asked curiously. Working with owls didn’t seem like such a bad summer job. Leo would have jumped at the chance if he had been offered it when he went to school. Picking up on another thing Ethan had mentioned he asked "So your family comes from Germany?"It was nice to get to know the student’s better than just their names, year and house.

Book donations. Awww… Eyes widening with emotion Mr Kitridge stumbled a little over the words as he shared. "The renovations are going slow but good. It’s hard to tell when the renovations will be complete but they've promised before finals at least."

Glancing down at the book bag at Ethan’s feet he murmured "Any books are welcomed with open arms. I'm sure we can use them. What kinds of books have you brought along?" Textbooks? Novels? Scrolls? Leo would take anything and everything. He couldn’t afford to be picky if he wanted to fill up the shelves again.

Gemma smiled as she heard the Librarian's voice. She quickly smoothed out her skirt and jacket and headed into his office with her usual bounce in her step....well as much as she could without dropping her pile of books.

She leaned around the pile of books and with a smile said, "Hey Leo! I just wanted to drop by and see if you needed any help organizing things or anything..." she said hoping she didn't sound too desperate to hang out...she just felt like she wasn't close to any of the other faculty members and she had always seemed to get along pretty well with Leo and he wasn't bad to look at either...she felt her cheeks go a little shade of pink, "And, I brought some more Muggle books...." she said hoping he still needed some books to fill the empty spaces, "I still have some friends at the Jeffersonian and they are working to get some more books for you..." she glanced around for an empty spot to put the pile on, "I told them about a library that burned down and so they are going to send us some more books as they come in...." she smiled and shrugged her shoulders almost dropping the pile, "they'll all be muggle books...I hope that's okay...

Leobald looked up as the door to his office opened and at first he only saw a big pile of books until Gemma’s face peeked around the pile. "Good day Gemma!" Leo greeted with a smile. "Are all those books for me, um I mean the library?" he quickly changed it to.

Oblivious to her pinkish toned cheeks he said thoughtfully "Well, we aren’t allowed into the reference section while everything is getting renovated. But I could use some help with fire-proofing books if you're interested? I have to fire-proof every book in the entire library and make a master list of what we lost in the fire so I'll know what to buy or beg for people to donate." And that included the storage room. Shuddering at the thought Leo quickly focused on the muggle book’s Gemma had brought with her.

Standing up he walked around his desk to stand next to Gemma and look through the book pile with interest. "Muggle books will be splendid." Seeing the all the different genres he beamed. "This will be very useful. Please thank the Jeffersonian from me when you correspond with them."

Deciding to change the topic Leo asked "Did you do anything fun during the break?"

Gemma's face lite up as she heard his excitement in his voice, "Yes they are all for your library...and you..." she said with a little nod up and down beaming.

She listened to him intently still balancing the books...fire proofing...yes she could do that...or atleast she thought she could.... "O Leo I would love to help...I've never fire proofed books before but I'm willing to give a try...well maybe you should let me practice on your least favorite books first..." she said timidly cocking her left eyebrow up...she could just picture her helping fire proof books and them bursting into flames in front of her...funny...but not really....she shook her head back and forth slightly at the little imagery in her head...and then focused back in on the Librarian..."Did you say renovations...how exciting...anything getting redesigned?" she asked as she finally sat the pile of books down on an empty chair.

"Great! I'm glad they will work. I honestly don't own too many Wizard books, but I own and have access to tons of these...obviously..." she said with a little shrug of her shoulders as she pushed a stray bang behind her ear.

The professor smiled at the man slanted up one side of her lips into a little half grin...the summer...actually... "Actually, I was pretty lazy all summer...just visited our family's beach house in Florida and took in some sun and did a little surfing..." she paused, "So pretty much got a harsh sunburn and was lazy the whole summer..." as she said it she got a little embarrassed...what a boring summer...surely his was more eventful. "And yourself? Did you do anything crazy like Dragon hunting..." she asked with a little wink.

Leobald beamed as Gemma explained that the books were indeed for him and the library. "I'm very grateful and so will the students also be I'm sure for the new books." He chirped in response. Producing his wand from its holster Leo said with assertion. "You can do this Gemma. The spell for fire-proofing books is pretty easy to learn. The incantation is 'Impervio Fira' and the wand movement is just a circular swish and tap motion."

Taking one of the muggle books that Gemma had placed in a pile on one of his office chairs, Leo preformed the circular swish and tap motion on the book and said "Impervio Fira." A red mist surrounded the book for a moment before it disappeared showing that the book was now inflammable and would withstand if Merlin forbid a new fire broke out in the library. "You should try it Gemma, its fun!" Leo beamed broadly and gestured toward the book pile.

"I'm not really certain if anything is getting redesigned in the reference section, I'm just glad that it's being restored to its former glimmer at all." Leo commented quietly. It had been quite nerve-racking to wait for the BoG board’s decision on what was going to happen with the section. Eyes widening a little with surprise Leo asked a little stumped but curious "So your bookshelves are filled with just muggle authors?" If that was the case then it was no wonder that Gemma taught Muggle Studies for a living.

Leo would take anything and everything. He couldn’t afford to be picky if he wanted to fill up the shelves again.
Ethan envisioned what a holiday in the Canary Islands might entail - sandy beaches, warm sun.. But he was soon snapped out of his reverie by the voice of Mr. Kitridge. "Oh, yes.. I mean no.. just this year and next.." he said, still somewhat distracted thinking about the beach. "I think that's a good idea," he added, agreeing with the man's words with a nod.

The sixth year leaned back in his seat as he conversed. "I enjoyed it," he answered in regards to his internship. "I mean, it was mostly cleaning up after the owls.. but I liked working with them. They all have different personalities." He vaguely wondered if he would have the opportunity to work there next year, though maybe he'd rather go Spike's route - work with plants and get paid for it. He then nodded at the librarian's next words. "Well, my parents and I live in Heidelberg.. they're both from England, really, but they moved there before I was born."

The Ravenclaw pursed his lips slightly and nodded slowly as Mr. Kitridge discussed the details of the renovations. "Well, if you need any help.. I have some time freed up since I'm not studying for OWLs this term." He took a deep breath before continuing. "I lost a lot of my experimental work in the greenhouse last term too.. I sorta know what it's like to lose.. things.." Ethan trailed off as he looked down at his bag. Maybe it wasn't exactly the same, but it did cause the boy to think about and become somewhat empathetic to the library's losses.

Lugging the heavy bag onto his lap, Ethan began pulling the books out and piling them onto the floor next to him. "Well, this one is new - my parents bought it as a donation to the library." He opened the front cover of Magical Water Plants of the Mediterranean to show the label with his family name. "The rest are used though, they're from home.. a few classic novels, a book on the history of wizarding Germany, a couple of my textbooks from Beauxbatons.. mythological basis in Ancient Runes and introductory Astronomy." They were both in French, but someone could use them.. maybe. "An Appraisal of Magical Education in Europe," he read as he continued pulling the books out. "Enchantments in Baking and this one on translating Mermish." The boy shrugged a bit. He wasn't sure if they were useful additions to the library or not, but hopeful they were of some help.

The incantation is 'Impervio Fira' and the wand movement is just a circular swish and tap motion."

Taking one of the muggle books that Gemma had placed in a pile on one of his office chairs, Leo preformed the circular swish and tap motion on the book and said "Impervio Fira." A red mist surrounded the book for a moment before it disappeared showing that the book was now inflammable and would withstand if Merlin forbid a new fire broke out in the library. "You should try it Gemma, its fun!" Leo beamed broadly and gestured toward the book pile.

"I'm not really certain if anything is getting redesigned in the reference section, I'm just glad that it's being restored to its former glimmer at all." Leo commented quietly. It had been quite nerve-racking to wait for the BoG board’s decision on what was going to happen with the section. Eyes widening a little with surprise Leo asked a little stumped but curious "So your bookshelves are filled with just muggle authors?" If that was the case then it was no wonder that Gemma taught Muggle Studies for a living.
Gemma shakes her head up and down as she watches him...o yah..he makes it look sooooo easy. Flicking her right wrist, her wand shoots out of it's wand holster and she picks up one of the more boring books from the pile...yes let's practice on the Muggle books since she as probably the only one that liked them...she thought holding back a little giggle.

She copied his motion as he did it to the book and then with a little deep breath, she focused hard on the book she had grabbed, "You better get an Aguamenti charm ready just in case I set your office on fire..." she said jokingly with a little wink, but inside she didn't think she was really joking.

With a little circular swish and tap, she said the words, "Impervio Fira." she shut her eyes and scrunched her shoulders up as the spell hit the book. The book became a red glare and then a little mist rose from it. She opened her eyes when she smelled a little bit of a burning smell but was surprised to see that the book looked okay and that nothing else was on fire. She started jumping up and down slightly, "Wow, I think I did okay!" she said as more of a question than anything else.

Her face lit up as he asked about her book collection, "Well, the majority of them are...I love Muggle comic books..." she paused to see what he thought about that, "And anything about Muggle History...I like Wizarding History as well, but the archeologist in me finds Muggle history more exciting...." she said quickly with her face gleaming!

I mean no.. just this year and next.." he said, still somewhat distracted thinking about the beach. "I think that's a good idea," he added, agreeing with the man's words with a nod.

The sixth year leaned back in his seat as he conversed. "I enjoyed it," he answered in regards to his internship. "I mean, it was mostly cleaning up after the owls.. but I liked working with them. They all have different personalities." He vaguely wondered if he would have the opportunity to work there next year, though maybe he'd rather go Spike's route - work with plants and get paid for it. He then nodded at the librarian's next words. "Well, my parents and I live in Heidelberg.. they're both from England, really, but they moved there before I was born."

The Ravenclaw pursed his lips slightly and nodded slowly as Mr. Kitridge discussed the details of the renovations. "Well, if you need any help.. I have some time freed up since I'm not studying for OWLs this term." He took a deep breath before continuing. "I lost a lot of my experimental work in the greenhouse last term too.. I sorta know what it's like to lose.. things.." Ethan trailed off as he looked down at his bag. Maybe it wasn't exactly the same, but it did cause the boy to think about and become somewhat empathetic to the library's losses.

Lugging the heavy bag onto his lap, Ethan began pulling the books out and piling them onto the floor next to him. "Well, this one is new - my parents bought it as a donation to the library." He opened the front cover of Magical Water Plants of the Mediterranean to show the label with his family name. "The rest are used though, they're from home.. a few classic novels, a book on the history of wizarding Germany, a couple of my textbooks from Beauxbatons.. mythological basis in Ancient Runes and introductory Astronomy." They were both in French, but someone could use them.. maybe. "An Appraisal of Magical Education in Europe," he read as he continued pulling the books out. "Enchantments in Baking and this one on translating Mermish." The boy shrugged a bit. He wasn't sure if they were useful additions to the library or not, but hopeful they were of some help.


Ethan confirmed that he was a sixth year. And from the color of his robes Leo divulged that he was a Ravencalw like Leo himself had been in his school days. All eagles had sharp minds and the ability to fulfill their plans. There was no doubt in Leo’s mind that Ethan would go to the Canary Island’s after graduation if that was what he wanted to do.

"Could owls be something you’d want to work with after graduation?" He posed as a follow up question. If the young man liked creatures and respected their different personalities and quirks then maybe it was a profession worth pursuing for him later.

Leo listened as Ethan explained his heritage and why he lived where he lived. "I see. So you speak both English and German fluently then?" He wondered. It was only a plus when Ethan later looked for work if he could list bilingual on his resume.

Another genuine offer to help restoring the library was put in his lap so to speak. "How skilled are you with a wand Ethan? Are you good with charms? I will hopefully have lots of books to make inflammable after the reference section has been re-opened that I could use a hand with." Leo commented thoughtfully. "Losing work or books is never fun. Are you sure all your plant experiments in the green houses are lost? Professor Bentley might have managed to save some of it."

Ethan was full of surprises first he offered to help in the library and then he opened up his backpack to pick up a handful of books which he and his parent’s wanted to donate to the library. Eyeing the book titles Leo murmured with gratitude. "These books will most definitely be useful to not just students; I think staff will benefit from them as well. I know I’d like to know how to bake better."

Leo saw from the corner of his eye how Gemma studied him performing the spell and how he did the wand movement. She then flicked her right wrist and the next moment Gemma had her wand in her hand and was grabbing one of the books off the pile. That was handy. Maybe he should get a holster of his own and not just stick his wand in an empty robe pocket?

Leo knew Gemma was joking, but he still held his breath and his wand at the ready if he actually needed to cast a quick water charm on the book she was practicing the spell on. He was surprised that Gemma closed her eyes shut and scrunched up her shoulders when the spell let the tip of her wand and hit the book. Aside from the smell of something burning in the air the book looked unharmed.

When Gemma started to jump up and down on the spot Leo finally released the breath he had held in with a long gasp that turned into a big smile. "See, you could do it! You didn't need to worry at all." Starting to jump on the spot next to her in delight Leo said "Now we just need to make the rest of the books inflammable and then we will be ready for when we can fill up the library shelves again."

Gemma then told him about what she had in her book collection which to 99% contained Muggle comic books, Muggle history books and well anything in between. "Well if you ever want to borrow some magical books let me know and I’ll help you look."

Botros had made it to the lower floor, he was wearing his jacket so his stained shirt wasn't visible but his Crup was cradled in his arms, not whimpering anymore. He needed to leave him somewhere before making the rest of the journey down to the headmistress' office. He really needed a break after this. Reaching the office of Mr. Kitridge, Botros was panting and sweating but seemed to barely notice it. At least the boy was safe with the healer, right? Right.

He placed his Crup on the floor and KNOCKED urgently on the door.

Leobald was sitting in his office working on some leftover paperwork from the fundraiser with his cat Madonna sprawled in his lap contenedly purring. Hearing what sounded like an urgent knock on the door Leo quickly got up, deposited a hissing Madonna in chair before he made a beeline towards his door. Opening it wide he peered out at first Professor Botros and then at the injured crup on the floor. Worry etching it's way across his face Leo demanded "Abraham is everything all right? Has your crup been in a fight?" Remembering his own cats, he stepped outside and closed his office door shut.

Merlin, he hated everything right now. Botros shook his solemnly after offering the young man a sad smile. "I'm afraid there's been an accident in my office a while ago." He looked down at his Crup licking the bandage on his paw. "I had a student there and all three of us were harmed. Mr. Odessa is with the healer, but I need to leave Feo with you while I talk to Ethan's-- the headmistress." Pause. "If you don't mind. I fixed his wound temporarily, and he won't cause you trouble in this state." Poor Cruppy.

So. Yes? No? He'll tell the whole story later, you could see the old man's hands shaking a bit from the effort and exhaustion of this situation. Hopefully this man would be more considerate.

Hold the presses! There had been an accident? Leo listened intently as the old man briefly explained what had happened. There was probably more to the story, but this was not the time to hear about it. "I can take care of Feo for you. I'll nurse him back to health." It was the least he could do for the elder man.

"Abraham you need to go see a healer straight away, you look terrible." Leo observed with concern. The Ancient Runes professor's hands were shaking and he looked exhausted.

Oh, great. Now Feo was safe too. Ab removed his jacket and took out his wand to clean his shirt, the bandage was hidden under that. Then he cleaned his trousers, "Thank you, Leobald. I owe you one." He slipped his jacket on again and winced just a bit. "It's alright, really. I have a scratch on my arm and another one on my leg." He chuckled, half-heartedly. "It just looks worse on a guy my age." His blood pressure was probably messed up which explains the hand shaking.

"I'll see you in a few." He grabbed his cane and patted the man's arm gratefully. Good man he was.

"Don't worry about it. Just get yourself patched up." Leo replied quietly as he whisked Feo carefully up into his arms. The crup needed to be taken out of the drafty corridor straight away. Stroking the crup gently Leo looked on as Abraham cleaned his blood stained shirt and then winced as he put his jacket back on. "You should get some rest after you've spoken to the Headmistress and let Cecelia fix your scratches." Leo insisted. She was the school healer after all. "I'll take good care of Feo."
