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!

Well, at least he knew for sure it was the book making everyone all loony. Quite honestly, some of the characters they had turned into had been very entertaining. But about the book...Adi had not really gotten a good look at it. Just that single brief moment in his common room.
Ian seemed to have giving the description under control though. Adi agreed with the boy's description from what little he could remember. So he merely nodded as he spoke. 'Old' was definitely one thing he remembered.

Yeah, it definitely glowed. So that got a nod from Benny to the librarian. Hearing footsteps, the fourth year turned to notice both the headmistess and Culloden join them. As much as he would normally greet them, it wasn't exactly time for pleasantries as the woman confirmed in her own way. The search was on and they were talking about ways to notice and find it.'
As for further description, he nodded again in confirmation of Ian's description, the Gryffindor himself still digging through his possible memories. "The lettering was...old....and fancy," he remarked in broken thoughts, trying to think back to the times he saw it more clearly and in his right mind. "And it...definitely was titled about fairy tales." That last thought was in memory of someone reading it aloud in the common room. The time with the bowling with Flamsteed.
Angel looked at the Professor and then raised her hand, did she need to do that to speak. "I saw it in the common room, Professor Flamsteed was there and this other girl had the book and then Professor Flamsteed took it and became Professor Hooksteed." Angel still remembered that. "All I remember was the book was really big and that it glowed but as soon as Professor Flamsteed had turned the book vanished into thin air." Angel had no idea a book could do that until now.
Annie and Culloden received greeting nods and smiles from the old man sitting on the only big, sturdy chair in the room. He let Leo handle the filling-in part.

Headmistress Truebridge needs more to go on if she is going to organize a search party for the book." The better description they got the easier it would be to find the book hopefully.
After the Hufflepuff boy offered a valuable input, Botros raised his hand to offer his, too. "Uh I remember reading that book... vaguely." It was his usual memory, he couldn't remember details from monthssss ago. Not a chance. "I'm trying to remember where I found it, but it was definitely big. Old. The cover was beautifully ornamented, with a pink ribbon dangling from inside the pages..." He remembered the pink ribbon because it reminded him of their headmistress and Professor Morgan. He thought they'd like that book.
"I think you're going to easily spot it, because if I remember correctly it was titled The Fairy Tale Book." So... Botros scratched his bald scalp thoughtfully, "There's something else, something important..." What was it what was it whaaaat was it. Scratch scratch scratch.
Annnnd the Headmistress had arrived! So had the Potions Professor. "Hello,'' Adi said to both of them. Could not forget his manners now, could he? Truebridge got straight to the point. Good. The sooner they found the book, the better.

Books were objects, they couldn't move. "Can we have more of a description of what we're looking for, first, please? Anyone? All I know is that it's a glowing book."
Search party... but if it came and go, what reassurance did they have that it wouldn't disappear the moment it saw them? NONE. Cosgrach didn't like this at all, but he couldn't see any other way, either.

He sighed. "I fear so. I apparently called myself the Beast." Whichever that character came from. Cosgrach didn't know any muggle fairy tales at all. "I don't remember much." He didn't even remember it was a book until they told him so. "All I know is that... it glowed." That was all he could say.
So he listened to the people who did remember a thing or two, and nodded at them from time to time. So now they had a description and a notion of how it moved. The only thing they had to do was locate a moving book and make sure it didn't escape them this time.
"Professor I actually saw the book but I know it affected Cosgrach.." he said gesturing towards the Professor. "We were at the fireworks festival and he was yelling at Lux and he was just a different type of person because he came into contact with the book. He remembered him being like the wolf he vaguely remembered and asking us to step aside and then the giant came along. "I also have seen it affect my friends Cinna and Lux and Lux was in the mindset of Ariel..." After he had seen what he had seen he never wanted to go and touch the book even though the temptation was too great.

Okay well Zander had never even seen this glowing book before, but one thing was certain. If there was going to be a search party then he had to be a part of it. They could split into groups and Zander could take over one. You know where they'd head first? The Defense Against the Dark Arts room. It sounded like a pretty good bet.
As for the rest, he didn't have anything to comment on so he just nodded a little. But when the time came, he'd volunteer for the search party. 'Cause reasons.

Cassie sat quietly and listened to everyone that was speaking around her. When the headmistress asked about the book, "I can't remember it that well, except it said fairy tales on it." She wasn't sure of anything else, "The rest is just a blur other then what others have said."
She went quiet again listening to everyone, "How do you think we can find it and if we do how can we get it not to possess anyone. I mean if it's gotten many of us here, I would fear someone else being mesmerized to go towards it." She didn't want anyone else to not remember what they were doing. "Yes Cossy you were. You were at my office going on about Beauty." At least he didn't want someone to eat a poisonous apple.

Taking up a parchment Leo wrote down the mysterious books description as Benny added what he remembered to the list. "Thank you Benny. This will really help." Leo commented as he added old and fancy lettering. His mind raced. Did the age of the book mean that it was a book that belonged in the restricted section or did that just mean that it had been written long ago?

Turning to hear what Angel had to contribute Leo said thoughtfully thinking out loud."So people get 'turned' after they’ve been reading the book? And then the book conveniently disappears?" This was not going to be easy. It was a complicated matter no doubts about that. They needed to find the book fast and get it removed from the school premises before it messed with somebody else.
SPOILER!!: Botros

Abraham you could always count on Leo mused inwardly. The senior man had a good memory and that would serve them in the hunt. "Thank you Professor Botros. This is really helpful. I’ll note down all those characteristics." Nobody else had so far mentioned a pink ribbon dangling from inside the pages. Could it be important?
"The Fairy Tale Book," Leo echoed trying to remember if he had come across it before but the library was vast. "I don’t suppose you remember if there was an author listed too?" It’d be a great help if they had that. He could check his big book inventory then. Then they could possibly figure out how dangerous the book potentially could be even if judging by the stories it was pretty dangerous.

"My guess is that you acted like the beast from the Beauty and the Beast." Leo commented with a glance over at Cossy. He didn’t know if it was reassuring but the Beast in that fairytale wasn’t actually evil just cursed.

Turning to Cassie again Leo shrugged. "I suppose we have to lure it out somehow but that might be hard if it appears and disappears by its own accord. Do you remember if you were bored or talking about books you wanted to read when you came in contact with it?" There had to be something that had gotten it to pop up in so many different places. It couldn’t be a coincidence.
Glancing over at Nessa for support he asked "Think it will be safe to touch the book as long as you don't open it to read its words Professor Glendowner? It has to be the words that start the whole um 'enchanting' process right? Have you studied anything similiar in history?" No book had any real power unless you read it. At least that was Leo’s opinion.
Lastly he turned to Headmistress Truebridge to offer her the parchment with the description of the book that everyone had contributed to "Is that description good enough to start the hunt for the book?"

She fidgeted a bit as Leo asked her about the book. She just didn't know. "I'm sorry, I just don't remember. The last I remember before seeing it was Professor Glendower and I at the Suit of Armour having a little indoor picnic. Professor Glendower had spotted it and then I remember us opening it and reading some of the stories. That's all I truly remember though." She was really no help.
Looking to Nessa she hoped her friend would remember more then she did or maybe one of the students. "The ones that saw it in my class. Was it opened? Did it possess anyone during that time?" If someone saw it happen then maybe they could figure out how to not have it happen again.

Adi was totally up for helping with the search but he just had one question. He cleared his throat then addressed Mr Kitridge. "I think it's a great description. Not many books would look like that, right?'' So it would sort of stick out.
But now he addressed the real question to everyone. "The Castle is so huge and the book could be somewhere on the Grounds for all we know. Is there anyway we could narrow down the search areas? I mean, are there certain places the book only appears?" If they could figure that out, it would help them find the troublesome book a whole lot faster.

Mad Hatter was a fairy tale and so was Captain Hook. Oh dear this was not good. "Benny, do you remember anything about what the book looked like? Did it glow?" It was alarming Leo felt that Airey had been enchanted/messed with too. Hopefully Airey was all right.
"Ah, yes Neville Longbottom is an extraordinary plant expert." Leo commented. But back to the more pressing matter at hand with the book. "Interesting observation Zander, I think it's safe to say that you can count me into the unaffected category too." He as far as he knew hadn’t been in contact with any glowing books or had experienced any spiels of amnesia.
Botros had gotten odd homework with drawings of him as king with princesses sitting around him. Gazing over to his good friend Leo said "It looks like the book got to you too Abraham. It sounds like you could have been acting like the king in a number of children stories."
Leo was relieved when Headmistress Truebridge finally arrived to the library. Turning to her he said. "So far we've pieced together that this mysteriously glowing book has been for lack of better word 'enchanting' both members of staff and students alike to act uncharacteristically for spiels of time. And it seems from the stories so far in the meeting that they have acted like characters out of children's stories and more importantly fairy tales. So maybe it’s a book that takes up all fairy tale stories written both magical and muggle." But Leo was in a sense grasping for straws. They needed more information.
Yes a search party for the book was definitely needed and of top priority. Leo couldn’t agree more with what Headmistress Truebridge was saying. Turning to Cossy by her side he asked "Is it true like Professor Morgan said that you’ve been acting strangely too? Have you got any memory of what the book looks like aside from its glowing attribute?"

Ian raised his hand. Headmistress. I saw it in a couple places. It was in our common room and I think I saw it at the fireworks show and divination. It was an old book. It was kind of big. He looked around for a book that he thought matched the size. He just couldn't find the right one. He continued briefly. I'm pretty sure that book wasn't there when I came into my common room that day. The common room was empty before I showed up.

...Leobald was taking notes on all of this, yes? Yes, yes he was. What a good librarian. Bunz was nearly tempted to pat the man on his curly head, but now she had a parchment to look over.
As the others continued talking, she mused through what they knew and nodded occasionally. "I don't know if there's a pattern to where the book appears and disappears, but it looks like we need to start searching if we have the hopes of finding it... anytime soon." She looked down at her expensive watch. "How about this... I'll make up some search groups, you all can nudge your friends to join in, and then we'll regroup here in the library in a few hours. Sound good?"
Well, even if it didn't, she was going to make groups for them. The redhead snagged borrowed somebody's quill and quickly jotted down names, looking around the room to see who was present and who else might like to help. Then she posted the parchment with a simple levitating charm.
"Come find your name, let's split up, and get to work. I think we need to check all the common rooms, most of the classrooms... let's just go floor by floor. Grab anyone you see along the way, or anyone you know who has read this book, and make them help. THE HUNT IS ON!"

Angel listened to the Headmistress as she spoke and then went and looked to see which group she was in... it seemed she was being lead by the headmistress and the potions master which was going to be interesting... she was going to try her hardest to find this book because she was sure the Librarian would want to get rid of it.

Ian heard the instructions of the headmistress. Well...apparently they were going to be tromping through the castle hunting the book. He hoped he got put in a group with Professor Morgan. When he went up to read it, he saw his name under Professor Glendower along with Toby, Jasmine and Cutty. He was sort of familiar with the first two but didn't think he'd had many interactions with Cutty. He shrugged and shuffled over to Nessa, trying to hide his disappointment.

Jasmine listened as everyone spoke about the glowing book. She had never seen it up close, but she had certainly seen the effect that it had had on students and staff alike. How they would ever find a disappearing book, was beyond her.
The Headmistress it seemed, had a plan. So they would be breaking up into groups and forming search parties? The last search party Jasmine had been connected with hadn't turned out so well. Hopefully this one would be more successful. Maybe this would be a good time to test the potion that Professor Culloden had given her last year. She always kept it handy, just in case. Deciding to wait and see thow things went, Jasmine walked up to check the list of teams that the Headmistress had created.
So Jasmine would be paired with Toby, Cutty, Ian and Professor Glendower. Good group, she felt. Ready to get started, Jasmine tried to gather with the other members of her group.

Adi nodded at Truebridge's explanation. Hopefully they would find the book right in the Castle. And quickly too, before someone else ended up turning into a fairy tale character. He watched her sort them into groups then he went to find his name.
He fell into the group led by Professor Botros and it included Sophie from Claw House, Kace and another Ravenclaw girl. They were taking the third and fourth corridors. Great! Adi was ready to get going.
Sophie had been pretty worthless, all things considered, as she hadn't seen much of the book at all and only knew its features by everyone's descriptions. She wished she could have offered more, but she knew if she didn't have anything particularly helpful to say, she might as well stay silent and let everyone else offer the proper, desired feedback.
Then they got their assignments, though, and Sophie HURRIED to see who she was with - oh. No, she wasn't with the headmistress, Culloden, Zander, and Gabe - shame, really - and she wasn't with Tobes and Jasmine. Which... actually was OKAY because they were with Cutty, and she didn't want to be part of that. She DID, however, get to be with Botros, Eden, Kace, AND the Hufflepuff prefect, so... really, she was pretty psyched.
"Be safe," she whispered to Tobes with a loving brush of a hand on his shoulder as she moved to congregate with her assigned group. They weren't in any REAL danger, she assumed, but she still didn't like the thought of the book possessing Tobes, and she figured he didn't like the thought of that either, thus she would absolutely be worried about him.
As she joined up near Botros with the others, she wondered... who would check the FIFTH floor, though? That was the only one not accounted for, wasn't it? Maybe, since Kitridge was going to check out his floor they were currently on, they should check out the third and fifth floor instead of the fourth? "Since Mr. Kitridge is gonna check out this floor, should we do yours, professor?" she asked Botros. "I don't think anyone got assigned to that one." Trying to help, was all.
...And what did they do if they FOUND the book? If it disappeared at will and could evade capture? Merlin. They were in for quite an adventure, weren't they?

Cassie listened as Adi added to things that had been happening, her mind pushing her thoughts into focus more then what was going on around her. She tried so hard to remember anything about the book. What did it really look like? How did it possess people? What was going to make it turn up again? She just couldn't remember anything that could help. Sighing she tried to focus just in time to see a list and talk of searching.
Seeing her name at the top she looked to see which students were going with her. Glancing around and finding Benny, Lux, Zhenya, and Hadleigh. "You are with me." She smiled at them as she found them. "Let's start at the seventh floor and work our way down. Now we have a few places there and then the sixth floor, so I guess we should go get started."
Turning to the club she made sure there was nothing else. "My little group will be off. Good luck everyone." Encouraging snaps right now. If she had her snap cup they could have done a quick positive energy snapping before everyone left.
*sighs* she'd find it someday!
Turning with her group she headed out of the library.
Nessa was doing her best to try to remember anything about the book they were all talking about. If she was correct, it was the same book that Cassie had mentioned to her at the Gobstones match last week, the one that Penelope said she thought had possessed Cassie. But Nessa hadn't been possessed, had she? She did have that block of hazy memory but no one had mentioned she had acted strange at all - not until Toby said something just now.
She glanced over at Cassie as she mentioned their picnic and the book. Feeling a little useless because she couldn't remember more, she added, "Yes.. it just appeared. I don't remember it being there when we first got there, but then it was." Of course, what did she know, really? She couldn't remember much about those few weeks and even that last memory she had before things went hazy was nearly as cloudy as all that.
Nessa bit her lip, thinking over the question Leo then posed to her. "I really don't know," she admitted. "I suppose it is possible that the magic this book seems to have could be contained in its pages and words.. but I can't be certain. There are all types of magical spells and curses that could be placed on books, I think we should best proceed with caution if anyone sees it." Where was Medea? Perhaps she could best advise them as this could very possibly be some sort of dark magic. They needed something to contain the book so no one else got possessed.
Though she was awfully distracted in her thoughts, a search party sounded kind of fun and she knew she could make it that way besides so it wasn't all doom and gloom. Once Annie drew up a parchment, Nessa practically skipped over towards it. Yes, first floor sounded perf! That was right were her office and classroom were so she knew it well. Glancing over the names, she sang them out in a staccato form, "Ian, Toby, Jasmine, Cutty.. off to the second floor we go!" Since that one was closer to where they were, might as well start there first.. then to her favorite floor, the first! She started marching towards the door of the library, expecting her little troop to follow.

So they were breaking up into groups of staff and students to search the castle to try and find the mysterious and dangerous book. Okay by him, as long as none of them got possessed again. Benny wasn't sure about that risk. As for pulling friends into the search, most if not all of his were already there, albeit all in different groups it seemed so that idea might be out for him. Focusing on the search would surely be enough to contribute to this big adventure of tale-telling proportion.
He was with Professor Morgan, the boy nodding in agreement as he was claimed and the suggestion of where to start was given out to them. "Alright..." Benny said simply as they started to move, the fourth year Gryffindor heading out and following the woman he at least was glad was no longer the evil queen.
Now to search for the fairy tale book instead of Snow White.

Ian was watching all that was going on when the professor told them it was time to be off. He watched as Professor Morgan left and sighed once more. Then he followed Professor Glendower to the second floor where they would search. He stuck his hands in his pockets and hoped they'd find this book on their travels. It seemed that the book just popped up wherever it wanted. He wondered if actually looking for the book would make it harder to find.
Adi nodded at Truebridge's explanation. Hopefully they would find the book right in the Castle. And quickly too, before someone else ended up turning into a fairy tale character. He watched her sort them into groups then he went to find his name.
He fell into the group led by Professor Botros and it included Sophie from Claw House, Kace and another Ravenclaw girl. They were taking the third and fourth corridors. Great! Adi was ready to get going.

Botros looked around for his group... and found a couple of them. "Yes, yes, definitely. Let's go up to the fifth floor first and then we'll do the third floor. Line up, hold hands and let's go." He beamed, grabbing Sophie's hand and headed out of the library.

Turning with her group she headed out of the library.
Zhenya had been listening to the commotions within the Book Club. What was supposed to be an innocent book club was now turning into a… book search party! She was a bit excited, although… should she be more worried? What if the book turned her into a toad or something? No, mustn't think like that.
She saw she had been allocated with Professor Cassie, Divinations Professor. At least she was smiling, that was nice. Zhenya got off her chair and walked towards the Professor. Seventh floor? Cool! She turned and left with the group.

Alright, it seemed like everything was falling into place. Annie blinked for a moment as little Sophie Brown pointed out her error in assigning floors... oh! Duh!
"Yes, I did mean to have Mr. Kitridge search THIS floor, and for Professor Botros to do the third and fifth... my mistake." She smiled graciously at them all and then signaled for her's and Cossy's group to go. "Group one, to the dungeons!!!!!!!!"
Maybe she could send a patronus outside on their way.

Her eyes widened as Toby said she had brought it to class. She was the reason it was in her class. She might be the reasons others had it. Oh this was horrible, this was more horrible then the thought of possibly being me to Leo, the sweetest librarian ever! She just sat there dumbstruck. "I'm so sorry I brought it to class. I didn't know." Her green eyes went to Nessa as Toby mentioned her. "Professor Glendower was there?" They were right about things. "Were we fighting over something by chance?" That was the foggy memory she kept thinking about.
...
Though she did look at Toby and give him a smile. Leaning over a bit she whispered, "Thank you sooo much for helping me figured some of the confusion out." She certainly appreciated it. She hated not remembering and not know what had happened. The students had been all so nice in telling her.

How exactly do you mean?" She didn't remember going to any Divination classes lately as busy as she had been but that nagging feeling at the back of her mind had been growing. She was just about to ask, but Cassie beat her to it. Could this be when she thought she had dreamed that they were fighting? She was really interested in what he had to say.
"Well... yeah. Sort of. Like... I think you were arguing," Toby nodded, already sort of regretting bringing the whole thing up. This sort of thing qualified as unpleasant news, and Tobias didn't like to share that sort of thing, but he was also helping, he supposed, because it didn't sound fun to not remember huge chunks of time. "I think other people would know more than me. I was across the other side of the room at the time, so I don't really know details..."
He'd been keeping his distance intentionally, of course, though he didn't say that out loud. It had been... a weird lesson.
Buuuuuuuuuut Professor Morgan was THANKING him and Toby gave her a relieved little smile. "You're welcome. It's okay, I mean. Yeah." What was the proper response here? Luckily, the book club discussion had started to escalate by this point, so Toby focused instead on what was happening here.
Ooh. OOH. THEY WERE DOING A THING.
Toby perked up at once at talk of them all heading off to go for a search. As he'd expected today to mainly be about sitting and talking, this was some real good news. Moving about the castle to hunt for this tearaway book was active and productive and Tobias was definitely IN. Still clutching onto his book, the Hufflepuff flailed for a second before managing to climb up out of his beanbag. Those things were a lot easier to flop into than they were to get out of.
He checked the list, discovering after a moment that he was placed in Professor Glendower's group with Cutty, Ian Tinker and Jasmine Guidry. Before he could head over to them, Toby got a tad distracted by Soph.
"You too," he said to her, with a little smile. He'd seen that book make people act totally crazy and out of character and Tobias didn't want that for either of them, or anyone for that matter.
The groups were dispersing, and Toby hurried over to his own just in time to hear Glendower calling out the names of those in her group. He smiled to show he was present and listening, gave a nod, and followed the professor out the room.
