Book Club Meeting! On the last saturday afternoon of the month of March Leo was arranging and the library, near the stained glass windows for the first and only book club meeting of the year. His kneazle Madonna was doing her best to help but Leo ended up stumbling over her more than once so it hindered more than it helped. By the time he had set up all the bean bag chairs in multiple colours and gotten a big table fixed with tea, coffee, juice and cinnamon rolls Leo was pretty hot and frazzled. Slumping down in a navy blue bean bag chair Leo wiped his forehead with a tissue and catched his breath as he eyed the time on his wrist watch. Luckily for him he had several minutes to spare before the student's would start arriving. Pulling out a parchment he had prepared earlier with notes he skimmed it over as he waited with his white kneazle curling up into a ball at his feet. Ooc: Welcome to the only book club meeting this term. Come on in and find a bean bag to sit on. The meeting will begin shortly!:D |
Botros loved books, and as usual every term, he made sure that he attended at least one of Leo's book club meetings. This term, things were going busier than usual, but Ab hurried along his lesson to catch the meeting held one floor below his classroom. |
Seeing the notice about the recent book club meeting Cassie tried to decide whether or not she should even go. She had been avoiding the library for reasons since the Prefect event. If she could only remember the things the students had been telling her. Deciding that going could give her a distraction away from the queen stuff she made her way to the library and looked around. Hoping she'd be one of the later ones so she could possibly just sneak in and sit off to the side Cassie inwardly sighed as she noticed she was one of the first. Forcing a small smile she greeted the ones there. "Hello Abe, Leo" Her usual social bubbly self was more calm and her green eyes shuffled away from both their faces. Looking around she noticed Abe not sitting she realized he might not want to sit on the beanbags. "Would you like me to get you a chair?" She could quickly grab one from the student study area and bring it over. |
Quote:
Maybe he should've brought his big chair with him? Botros couldn't see any-- Oh, another colleague had joined them. He smiled at her sheepishly, "I would love that, yes. Those squishy things... I couldn't get up in a long time if I sat on them." He chuckled nervously. He didn't like how a lady was going to fetch him a chair, that was so un-gentleman-y of him. "I'll come with you." Though she'd be faster in looking for and finding a chair for him than he would. |
Quote:
Anyway, back to the chair, "Oh you don't have to worry about it. I'll be back in a sec." Giving him another smile she hurried over towards the student area and was back in no time. No need for him to come too, she loved to help. "Here we go, will this be alright?" If it was too short or not comfy enough they could always change that with a flick of a wand. |
BOOK CLUB TIIIIIME WHOOOH. Eden skipped her way down to the library from the Tower, hoping to see lots of pretty shiny FACES ready to talk about BOOKS. Would every Ravenclaw be there?! She sure HOPED so! Plus Professor Kitredge-- She slipped into the library--and saw. THREE professors. Was she the first student here? Spotting the kneazle, Eden want to let the creature sniff her hand before petting her the little bugger. She kind of..loved kneazles, yeah? "Professor Morgan--" she smiled over at her---she wasn't angry at her anymore, which was good? "And Professor Botros--" She said with a nod. She didn't take his class BUT she had heard nothing but wonderful things about him. "Nice day to talk about books--" she smiled in greeting at Kitredge as she stroked his kneazle before going to take a seat. What a beautiful creature though--for real. Ugh. She wanted one. But she couldn't get MORE pets... |
Ian headed to the library. Books were fun. Lots of fun and for much of the year, they were rather faithful companions for him. He was excited to have the chance to head over to book club, he walked in and noticed his favorite professor and the Botros. He waved excitedly at professor Morgan and in a little more subdued, but still joyful wave to Botros. He greeted the librarian, Hello Mr Kitridge. nice to see you you. He headed to the snack table and grabbed a cinnamon roll and a cup of tea. Perfect combination before he headed over to plop down on a yellow bean bag and watch Eden pet the kneazle. |
Woot! Another book club meeting! Adi always enjoyed them. Especially since there were those awesome bean bags to relax in. He stepped towards the area where the meeting was to be held. Ohh. Refreshments! Was there anything chocolatey? Adi did see cinnamon rolls, though. Great! Anything sugary was good. "Hello, Mr Kitridge. Er, are you okay?'' The poor man was looking all tired. And looky! Professors were here too! "Hi Professors Morgan, Botros.'' Grins for the two. He smiled at the Claw girl and nodded in Ian's direction before taking up position on a bean bag. |
Ian have Adi a head up acknowledgment of his nod. He even raised his tea cup to him. |
SPOILER!!: Abraham The characteristic sound of a cane thumping on the floor alerted Leo to the arrival of his good friend and colleague Abraham Botros. Slipping his parchment back into his robes Leo beamed up. "Hello Abraham, I didn't know you were planning to attend the meeting? I have a book you might like to look after the meeting is over it’s a runes dictionary of sorts." SPOILER!!: Cassie the fair Leo was about to get up and help find a chair for Abe when Cassiopeia the fair and so confusing arrived with an attempt at a bubbly greeting that in his eyes only worked half-heartedly. Trying to find his voice Leo spent several seconds just staring at her in between getting up and saying something in response and staying seated and saying something in response. When the moment passed Leo murmured as he scrambled into a more upright position on the bean bag. "Hello Cassie...." When she averted her eyes so did he. His eyes fell on his kneazle and asked "How are your pets?" It seemed a lot easier to Leo to ask then ‘how are you?’ which was wanted he really wanted to ask. SPOILER!!: Eden Leo was trying to decide to what to ask or say to Cassie when the arrival of the first student saved him from his awkward pause. He could give Eden a bucket full of cauldron cakes just for arriving when she did. Watching how she approached Madonna with caution letting her sniff her hand before stroking her Leo said smiling broadly "Hello Eden. I agree it's a perfect day to talk about books. Had a good year so far?" SPOILER!!: Ian Leo's eyes trailed over to Cassie but he didn’t get a chance to ask the question that was burning on his tongue before the next student arrived. "Hello Ian. It's nice to see you too. Have you had a good year so far?" SPOILER!!: Adi Leo was absent-mindedly stroking Madonna when Adi arrived. Shaking his head Leo answered with a smile. "I'm fine Adi. Thank you for asking. I've just had a lot on my mind lately." Eyes trailed to Cassie again. Averting them to Adi once more with with force he said "You’re getting really good at shooting gobstones. Have you considered a career in sports after graduation?" Ooc: The meeting will start officially tomorrow morning at 9 am GMT +1 approximatley. Feel free to keep arriving, and have your student/staffer help themselves to the food and refreshments. |
Jasmine arrived at the Library for the Book Club meeting with her book in hand. Looking around, she noticed that there were almost more Professors than students so far. Interesting. Spotting her Head of House in his bean bag chair, Jasmine greeted him. "Hello Mr. Kitridge", she said cheerfully. Then she acknowledged the other Professors. "Hello Professor Botros, Professor Cassie." Jasmine plopped down in a blue bean bag chair next to her housemate. "Hey Eden. How's it going?" Seeing Adi nearby, Jasmine gave him a wave. While she waited for the meeting to begin, she idly flipped through the pages of her book. Maybe she would check out the snacks in a minute or two. |
Kace heard about the Book club and decided why not and check it out. As he made his way to the club location, he noticed the professor's were here. He smiled and greeted them with, "Hello Professor Bostros and Professor Cassie." Then he noticed Kitridge the librarian was here too and he gave him a wave and was quite excited to start this meeting. "Hello Mr. Kitridge!" Kace was quite a bookworm himself and always liked learning new things. He noticed Jasmine, Ian, Adi and Eden were here. He sat down in his bean bag and noticed there was a table with cinnamon rolls and tea. He got back up and went over to the table to get some snacks. He got a plate and filled it up with cinnamon rolls and got his cup for his tea and went back carefully to sit back down in his bean bag. Let's get this book club started! |
Ian heard Leo's question Quote:
|
Book club. Sounded interesting. And totally something he could get involved in, at least more easily than the SNAC meetings Adi had threatened to drag him to. Stepping into the library, Ben looked around for where they would be meeting amongst the quiet walls of the place, finally spotting the bean bag assembledge with not one, not two, but three staffers already there. Plus Ian and Adi and assorted others. "Hello Mr. Kittridge," he greeted, choosing the librarian first since he was technically the leader of the group. "Good day, Professors," he added with a polite nod as he walked further in trying to determine a seat to take. With a free one near Adi it wasn't a hard choice and as he sat down, he couldn't help but think that thankfully the other hufflepuff didn't seem to be causing any drama....yet. |
Angel loved books and she loved the Librarian so she was here and going to see what was happening, she went and sat down next to Benny. "Hey handsome." Angel didn't see all the Professor. "How are you handsome." Angel giggled as she sat so her head was in his lap. |
*waves at everyone else too :D* Quote:
Aw, she was so nice trying to make him feel better about his faulty knees. Botros smiled at her and nodded, waiting for her to get a chair for him. "Thank you." Quote:
"I wouldn't miss it for the world. You do know I'm fond of books, and your book club meetings." He gave him his usual, gentle, wrinkly smile. Quote:
"Thank you again, dear." She was like a daughter to him, and so he took her help better than he expected. He put the chair in the small circle of beanbags, then slowly sat down on it with an inaudible sigh of comfort. Perfect! |
Hey! Mr Librarian was smiling. Smiles were good. As long as they weren't covering up anything that was bothering someone. "That's great to hear,'' Adi answered. He noticed the man's eyes going in the direction of the short form of Professor Cassie and his eyebrows lifted ever so slightly. Did the Divination lady have something to do with whatever was on the man's mind? Hmmm. "Anything I can help with?'' Cos you know, Adi like being a helpful Puffer. Ohh Gobstones. Sports? Adi smiled a bit as he shook his head. "Haven't thought much about sports, Mr Kitridge. See, I know for sure that I want to become a Hippogriff breeder.'' And doing stuff with other magical creatures as well but Hippogriffs were number one on his list. .................... Seemed like Ian had already settled in. What? Was the Housemate toasting him? Adi tossed him a questioning look as he directed his attention to the others arriving. .................... Adi grinned at Kace and Jasmine as they arrived. This was going to be an awesome Meeting with all these familiar faces. Speaking of familiar faces... here came Benny. No surprise there when the boy occupied the free bean bag next to him. Of course Benny's other half was right behind. Well, not exactly but she came in soon afterwards. The Hufflepuff eyebrows really did shoot up this time around at Angel's behaviour. Right in front of Professors (one being the Deputy Head) and Mr Kitridge. They were so caught up with each other, they even failed to greet him. Suddenly he had became chopped liver. Or something. "Will you two get a grip?'' he whispered. |
SPOILER!!: Angel and Adi Settling into his seat since it was a little weird, Ben had been about to open his mouth to greet his best friend when Angel joined them. Oh yeah, she had mentioned coming to the book club meeting herself. "Hey," he greeted to her as she came closer. The younger girl then moved to sit down beside him and nonchallantly went about laying her head down....in HIS LAP?! o_0 Forget the calling him handsome among other students and school staff, he froze in place unsure what to say or do. Other that inwardly hope the professors and librarian didn't say or do something bad. Adi did however, the Gryffindor catching the whisper since he was in the middle of the two. Hello to you too, bestie. "Not...doing anything," he said defending himself. "Um...Angel..." |
SPOILER!!: Benny Adi rolled his eyes. "My mistake, Benny,'' he replied. "Psst, Angel. Sit up.'' Did she want to get herself and Benny as well into trouble? He wasn't being bossy or anything. Just looking out for them. He kept glancing at the two Professors and Mr Kitridge to see of they had noticed anything but nope, it didn't seem so. Or if they did, they didn't speak of it. Yet. If Angel sat properly then the duo just would avoid trouble. |
Benny and Adi. Angel looked around and blushed, seriously why hadn't she seen the Professors in the room. "Oh sorry Adi." Angel smiled as she sat up on her own chair... still near Benny. "How are you?" Angel asked Adi might as well see if his pants were still in knot. Angel smiled as she looked at Benny. "Sorry about that." Angel whispered to him, she had no idea what had made her want to do that and she was a bit upset with herself and a bit worried the Professors might say something to her, maybe she should have looked around. |
Zhenya made her way to the book club meeting. She quite liked books, and she liked being in the library. In fact, she missed it greatly. Her left hand, fingers still slightly black from the… incident, were covered in gloves. Gloves that Zhenya had vowed to always wear, protecting people from seeing her injuries. She vaguely remembered the librarian, but was so timid these days that she almost took one look at the room of people, including other professors, and ran straight out, back to her bedroom, and buried herself in her covers. No, she mustn't. She slowly, very slowly, made her way in amongst the crowd and walked towards the librarian. "Er… h-hello Professor, er, I mean Mr Kitridge. H-how are you, sir?" She felt her face start to prickle with warmth. Yes, she was actually talking to someone. She would have to try and remember to pat herself on the back afterwards, rather than dissect every moment of the conversation. She self consciously put her gloved hand in her pocket, not wanting anyone to see it, or ask any questions. |

Book club, book club, book cluuuuuuuuuub. Soph hummed a cheery tune the whole way to the library with a book under her arm, beyond elated to finally have a club meeting. She wondered what took Kitridge so long, really, but she sort of figured he had negative feelings associated with the club after what happened at their LAST meeting, so... She assumed she understood correctly. And thus she was excited he had gotten past his fear of book club and was holding a meeting today - better late in the term than never to have their first meeting, eh? - and as she neared the meeting area, she first noticed a Gryffindor girl laying her head in a Gryffindor boy's lap. Did... the professors see that? Merlin. Even she knew better than to be that close to Tobes in a setting like this, especially around MULTIPLE professors. Hi, multiple professors. Soph gave them all a little wave and a smile upon catching their gazes. "Hello professors." Kitridge wasn't really a professor, but he was as good as one, wasn't he? "Hope you're well," she greeted before going bug-eyed at the sight of CINNAMON ROLLS. Without giving it further thought, Soph absolutely took the biggest cinnamon roll there with a napkin and plopped down in the closest empty bean bag to her Head of House, her book falling into her lap. Mmmmmm. Gooey and cinnamony and sweet and wonderful. "'ese are rully 'ood," she offered up to Kitridge with a bright smile, though she was unsure of just WHO had brought them. Didn't really matter, but she wanted the recipe, for sure. |
This will be fun. XD Gabriel had been back and forth with himself about attending the bookclub meeting....but his Head of House was holding it....and, well, books. Gabe loved to read....and though it wasn't anything close to his love and devotion for science, it seemed dumb not to go. Even if there weren't any pumpkin rolls for him to snack on. That was okay. His pockets were bulging with pumpkin pasties, anyway. Foregoing a snack, Gabe claimed a bean bag near Mr. Kit ridge....waving at Adi and Benny. "Sir." The greeting was a quite one.........and the others, Botros and Morgan......Well, Gabe didn't know what or how to feel about them at the current moment. So, wide eyed stares for them. |
SPOILER!!: Eden Oh after getting a chair for Abe she noticed that there were more book clubers coming in. "Hellllllo Eden, how are you today?" She hoped the girl was well and that they had everything put behind them now. She felt really bad for the students that were upset the most over this queen things. Her and Penelope seemed to have taken it the hardest. SPOILER!!: Ian Seeing Ian she beamed and gave him a nice wave. It was so nice that the students were being okay with her. After what Eden and Penelope had said to her, she wouldn't have been surprised if they all shunned her. SPOILER!!: Adi Getting comfortable in the nice pink beanbag she had her eye on, Cassie looked up hearing someone else. "Hello Adi." She beamed at the boy, it was so nice to see so many coming into the book club meeting. She looked towards the door, Nessa was coming, wasn't she? SPOILER!!: Leo He said her name.. Cassie glanced up at him, but frowned only for a moment. He wasn't looking at her. OHMYGOSH, he was really upset, she had really been mean to him and he couldn't even look at her. She felt so horrible. Her green eyes looked down at his Kneazle and smiled, "This little one is going to get lost in the restricted section later, you might want to check on her there when you can't find her." She glanced back up at him even though he wasn't looking at her. "My pets?" That was an interesting question and one she assumed he only asked to be nice, it was very certain he was trying to just force small talk. "Aries and Gemini are wonderful actually." Swinging her kitty purse off her shoulder she looked down to the snoozing babies. She never went anywhere without them. SPOILER!!: Jasmine Giving another child a smile and wave, "Hello Jasmine, hope you are doing well." Lovely students were being so nice. SPOILER!!: Kace "Hello Kace, how are you doing?" Giving the Hufflepuff a nice smile and wave. SPOILER!!: the cutest Abe "You are very welcome, I'm soooo glad I could help." Sitting down in her beanbag she looked back up at the man. "Abe, can I ask you something." She wasn't sure she should even bring it up, but glancing back at Leo, she had to know. "The students have been filling me in on parts of the last few weeks that I'm missing and they've said I had a run in with you and Leo, is.. is that true?" She might have slightly wibbled towards the end. SPOILER!!: Sophie and Gabe Her attention moved to yet another group of student that had come in, "Hello Sophie, how are you?" Book clubs were just sooo fun! Then seeing Gabe give a wave she returned it with a wave and a big smile. SPOILER!!: Benny and Angel Her eyes moved to someone else that had come in and gave him a very happy smile and wave, "Hello Benny." Her brow raised as she watched Angel enter the room and do something she would never think a second year would even know how to do. Noticing Adi getting her to sit up she nodded at the boy and gave the other two a little look of please don't do that again. Though this was Leo's meeting so he could say more if he wanted. |
