Concerned for the seemingly emotional Librarian, Ed moved closer to the guy. "Can I help...?" He knew they'd got off to a bad start, but he could still help, right?
Mr Kitridge stood in a daze and just stared in front of him at the torn books on the floor. Who could do such malice? Who could not like books? This was all hard to grasp. Could the culprit still be in the library? Hearing but not really hearing the footsteps Mr Kitridge at first just stood and looked blankly at the boy as he spoke. Shaking his head some of the dazeness left him and Leobald fixed his gaze on the Hufflepuff standing next to him.
"Edmund….." Pause.
"Can you pick up the books from off the floor carefully and bring them to that table?! he gestured towards a round table close by.
SPOILER!!: Gideon

It was very easy to see the man was clearly disturbed by the scene before him as the prefect had suspected he would likely be. It was like seeing his mother when her one telescope had gotten broken during a freak storm...sad and quietlike.He shook his head at his question as he straightened up, wishing he could tell him exactly what had happened but he was as clueless as the rest of the group. "Nae sir, unfortunately I do not. I and my fellow students came upon it like this." Well with everything on the floor seeing as they were trying to carefully pick them up at least.
Rest of the library? Nope he had just worried about this part at the moment.
He might have sent Vickers out if the Ravenclaw hadn't already seemed attached to this area and since he had been the first on the scene, Gideon had felt the need to stay where he was as witness. "Nae, we haven't. I had figured to notify ye first while we tried to take care of these first." Gingerly take care...as he had respect for the tomes as well. Just not to the extent as Kitridge apparently.
He might have offered himself to look though Sarah and the hufflepuff from the balloon incident that had arrived on the scene volunteered to check the library however, the prefect just a little proud of the younger lion. He just hoped he didn't need to be suspecious of the two badgers who had already been caught by him in unpleasant situations this term.
Still sheltering the torn pages against his chest Mr Kitridge licked his lips.
“All right, you did right by guarding the books until I got here." Gideon was a prefect you could count on to keep his head leveled in a crisis. This was the second time Leo saw proof of that. He should tell Seren that he vividly tried to make a mental note off in his shocked brain.
Holding out the torn out pages to look at them he showed them to the prefect as much as the other students.
"Why have the one(s) responsible torn out pages about maladies?" As a thought struck him he couldn’t help but start shaking so hard that the pages fell out of his hands. Opening and closing his mouth he tried to stop shaking. Don’t jump to conclusions. Cece could be fine. There is no need to worry her just yet and if he did and it was false alarm she wouldn’t be very pleased with him.
Trying to focus he looked over at Gideon and said quietly.
"Please gather up all the pages and bring them along to the round table where Edmund is going." Leobald asked the prefect still shaking slightly and with widened eyes.
SPOILER!!: Laura & Sarah

Laura picked up a book and then looked at the Librarian again. "If you want Sir, I can go and see if there are anymore?" Laura smiled.

I hope it was none of the students I shall check the rest of library if you want, sir. Yet I have not seen anymore... thankfully" Sarah felt sorry for the guy... her mom always said that the only thing that lasts is knowedge and good deeds. et this guy was very attached to his books its seemed. So was Sarah in fact.
Turning his attention to the two girls and Vickers he said
"I know I’m asking a lot of you three but can you please go and see if there are any other damaged books? I’d go myself but I need to repair the books." Studying their young faces he added
"Keep your wands at the ready and if you see anything suspicious at all promise you won’t act on your own accord but come straight back and fetch me?" He’d probably collapse if a student got injured in this terrible mess to.
He counted on Vickers to watch over Sarah and Laura and to keep them out of danger. Hopefully whoever had torn up his books was long gone and if he wasn’t Leobald was definitely going to let him/them hear and taste his wrath.
