She was glowing with excitement. Best summer ever for sure.
It was nice of him to make such a suggestion. "Thanks, sir. I'll keep it in mind." Far more accessible than Elwood ever was, that was for sure. It was nice that Kitridge wasn't off in some distant tower and wasn't opposed to frequent visitors.
Clasping Mo's hand, still wanting to encourage him to come inside, her previously excited expression turned somber. Badge business. Ugh. Though Sophie almost scooted closer to Mo to hug his arm, she had a feeling that he wanted to look dignified and adult-like in the presence of his new Head of House, so she stayed put, but kept hold of his hand and gave it a squeeze.
And she did her best to silently transfer all positive emotions she could to the poor guy.

He didn't know what to call it. Mo pulled his hand free and ruffled Sophie's hair before turning back to the librarian. "Actually, sir, I was wondering... if maybe I could keep it? Just until the end of term? I know it doesn't mean I'm anything other than regular old Mo, but it encourages me to try to... be more on my own? To be a captain without being the captain. I'll give it back at end of term. No one will miss it or anything."


"That's nice Sophie. I didn't know Professor Culloden is your mentor. What does he mentor you in, Potions?" Probably Leo reasoned since brewing potions were Cosgrach specialty. "Tobias I've probably run into the library. He's in Hufflepuff right?" That Javy and Piers were roommates weren’t exactly a surprise considering how close mates they were. And Sophie was going to remember his offer if she needed someone or an adult to talk to.

Leo turned his full attention to Mo and immediately shook his head sadly "I'm terribly sorry Mo but you have to turn your badge in now as Headmistress Bunbury instructed on the train. It's for your own safety. Until the Aurors make a breakthrough in their investigation into the threat against student athletes and quidditch players in particular we can't risk taking any chances. For all we know the person(s) behind the threat could be looking to target you and the other ex captains West and Kaiden with their next attack and that is the last thing we want. So please give me the badge Mo." If he could allow it then Leo would have gladly let Mo keep his badge but at the current time no.

"There are other ways to be a captain/leader of Ravenclaw house. You don't need a badge to be a good role model for the other years. From what I've heard you take interest in the younger eagle's wellbeing as well as your peers which is very commendable of you." Here he nudged his head Sophie direction as an example. "And you take your studies seriously and aim to do well in classes." Leo finished off. If he had to he could probably count off even more ways Mo shined as a student leader of his house to cheer the sad boy up.

She was snapped out of that particular line of thought when she reached the door to Kitridge's office. Shifting the large tray that she was holding to free up an arm, Adrienne knocked a cheery five-beat rhythm on the door, the kind that seemed to demand a two-knock response. Hello, student here with cookies and questions?


This day had so far in Leo’s opinion been anything but good. Everything that could get screwed up had. It was just one of those days where he wished he had stayed in bed. With a headache burning behind his temples Leo made his way back to his office to get himself a pain relief draught. With his mind on the headache he didn’t acknowledge the student standing outside his door until he was within a few feet from her.

Plastering on a smile even if he wanted to grimace he greeted the girl. "Hey there, Adrienne right? Are those cookies for me?" Pulling out his wand from its holster he used it to lock up his door. Holding his door up Leo asked "Would you like to come in? Because Adrienne was probably here to see him for some other reason than to just offer him cookies.

Interesting that he used Muggle keys instead of a locking spell... before she could help herself she asked, "Why don't you use your wand?" while pushing the door closed behind her. "I mean that's not what I wanted to ask, but I just thought of it," she added after realizing that she was already distracting herself from the task at hand. She waited a few moments, taking in the office, and the fishing supplies, before asking her real question.

"So I heard that there was a secret door to somewhere in Ravenclaw tower," she continued conversationally, seemingly disinterested in such a fascinating rumor. Her tactic had switched slightly from direct asking, to casually bringing the topic up in conversation. She could always come up with another reason to seek out the librarian if he asked what she "really" came here for. In fact, she was still researching how to become an animagus, which was a legitimate excuse.


Looking over at Tora as he sat down his food tray on the little side table by the comfy chairs he said thoughtfully. "I use my wand most of the time but considering that I was carrying a tray it was easier to reach for the keys then to unbuckle my wand from its holster." Gesturing that Tora could sit down in the purple comfy chair, Leo took a seat in the blue one. "Would you like something to eat or drink?"

Settling back in his comfy chair trying to block out the rumbling sounds coming from his stomach Leo focused on Tora’s question. Smiling he nodded. "Yes actually there is a secret door in Ravenclaw Tower that leads somewhere but it’s not easy to find it. I'm not even exactly sure where it is. All I know is that it's hidden behind something." He wasn't about to spoil where the location was since Leo was had a house activity planned for it later during the year.
