"You see there was a leak in the ceiling just over one of the bookshelves and all the books in that bookshelf are now soaking wet. If I don't repair these books then the old paper might fall apart or the writing will be so smudged that the kids won't be able to read it."
Feeling his stomach give off a small growl in reply to what was in Gemma’s basket Leo said "It sounds delicious. Merlin knows that the food in the Great Hall have not been up to its usual standards as of late." Because of the budget cuts and resigned house elves. "But can we go in an hour or so? I really need to get these books fixed." If he didn't do it now then Leo wouldn't be much of a company at all because he would just be thinking about the wet books.
When he instantly mentioned he was busy, Gemma's stomach dropped a little bit...she knew this was a bad idea...stupid Gemma....she forced to keep her smile on her face as he continued talking....and then her face beamed as he asked her to help. "
O goodness...that's no good at all...last term I helped you fireproof but we didn't think about waterproofing..." she said with a shrug as she followed him into his office.
She glanced around at the pile of books and figured they could finish this quickly, "
Yes, we can def work together to get this done...." she said excitedly as she placed the basket down and flicked her wrist so her wand shot out of her wand holster into her wand hand. She walked over to one of the books and picked it up and as the water dripped out she squashed it back down on the table and turned excitedly to him...."
But remember I'm not the greatest at charms, so you will have to remind me of the incantation and wand movements..." she said walking over to him excited that she could help.
