Leo was reading an interesting article about some of his favourite musical bands when he heard the distinct sound of footsteps coming closer. Looking up right in time as Alexa Cambridge came over Leo beamed broadly at her
"Good day Alexa." Winking at her he grinned
"I thought so myself. But it’s only for today. I wanted to give you all some treats." Quote:

After Alexa Jory Stonewall walked in, heading straight for the food table.
"Good day Jory!" Leo greeted the badger senior with a broad smile.

In Jory's backwater Ella walked in.
"Good day Ella. It’s nice to see you too? How do you like being a prefect?" Leo queried curiously remembering the girl’s new appointment.

"Good day Eliza, right?" Leo wondered. Putting the right name to the right face was important to build a relationship plus he wasn’t keen on calling anyone by their surnames. It was just too formal. Grinning at the eaglette he gestured towards her big plate of food
"Are you hungry dear?" Quote:

Yes, she was was definitely going to this shin-dig. “Hello Mr. Librarian.” She beamed and nodded at him. Was he even a professor? Beeeeetter not ask, if she wanted a cookie, yes?
"Good day, miss?" Leo greeted the bespectacled young girl in a cheery tone.
"Do you read a lot of books?" Maybe it was stupid question considering that the girl had come to a book club meeting but Leo was eager to know either way.

So, slipped in, grabbed a handful of cookies and parked herself on a purple bean bag, ignoring the sound it made as she sat. Ahh, now this was better. "Hello, Mr. Kitridge, everyone."
After the bespectacled girl another girl walked in looking like she was happy to be there and anticipant for the meeting to start.
"Good day Miss Carter-Hope!" Leo chirped cheerily.

Professor?
Leo still hadn’t quite gotten used to being seen as a 'professor'. He didn’t exactly teach in the same sense like Sophia or Peyton.
"Good day Sarah!" he greeted cheerily
"Are you having a good day so far?" Quote:

Leo hadn't seen the latest young man arrive before he heard him ask a question. Turning a little he called over.
"No, Mr Montmorency the book club meeting hasn’t started yet." Since the invited guest speaker hadn’t arrived yet.

Leo wanted to bounce up and down on his bean bag. Fina had come to the book club meeting just like she had promised.
"Good day Professor Hadley!" he called out as she past by him on her way to pick up some food and a purple bean bag. Now where was Medea?

"Good day Ms Phillips!" Leo greeted as the lioness past by his bean bag.

Speaking of the librarian, Norma finally spotted the man reading a magazine on a lime green bean bag. “Excuse me, Mr. Kitridge?” she asked, hoping he wasn’t too into what he was reading. “I’m Norma Smith. Thank you so much for inviting me here today.”
Leo was just debating what to do with his magazine when a shadow fell over the magazine page. Looking up at the senior lady standing in front of him he beamed broadly as he stopped up. “Yes, I’m Mr Leobald Kitridge.” Extending a hand for a shake he blushed at her comment. “No, it’s us that should thank you for coming and talking to our students. Its a pleasure to meet you mrs Smith. Did you go to Hogwarts in your youth?”
Gesturing towards the food table he said “Feel free to grab something to eat. Would you like a bean bag or would you prefer a chair?”
Clearing his throat he addressed the assembled students. “Everyone the meeting will start in just a few more minutes. Get yourself a bean bag and some treats if you’d like.” Following his own words Leo walked over to the food table and poured himself a cup of tea.
------------------------------
Several minutes later Leo cleared his throat and said to the assembled student’s and Fina and Norma.
“Welcome to this term’s book club meeting. For those who don’t know me I’m Leobald Kitridge, the school’s resident librarian.”
Motioning for Norma to come over he said
"Today, we've got a special guest speaker here to talk to us about her famous Plimpy soup book and what inspired her to write it. After Norma has spoken there will be time for you all to ask her questions." "Norma the floor is yours." Leo said as he sat back comfortably on his lime bean bag and sipped on his coffee as a sign that the meeting was now in Norma’s hands.
