But good. Yes good. He'd found the packing slip parchment. Albert Hughes. Albert Hughes. New and it sounded as if he knew his stuff in Herbology. Could be worth a read himself. "Ah, helping out Headmistress Truebridge with her recommended reading for her lessons?"

He nodded when Kitridge offered to order the Bond books for him. "Thanks, Mr. Kitridge." He said with a smile. Then the Librarian waved his wand and the book Cutty was holding joined with others to neatly stack themselves. Job done. "Is it true that she used to teach Herbology here at this skewel before?", Cutty asked about the Headmistress. He'd meant to look this information up, but it had gotten away from him.

There weren't many adults, save his parents who asked Cutty about his life and his friendships. At least not without ulterior motives. Like they wanted to snoop. But maybe that wasn't the case here. Still it felt alien to him. "Life is great!" He said enthused. "I'm sellin' more than ever." But that wasn't the personal answer to a personal question. "Everyone knows my name and I'm not even in m'seventh year yet. So I'd say things were looking up."


Turning to face Cutty he just grinned at the senior boy for his joshing comment before turning to some strewn out parchments. Yes, you weren’t allowed to shout in the library but spontaneous outbursts of joy had to be okay. Leo wasn’t that strict. He just wanted a quiet atmosphere that enabled students to study well and without too many distracting noises.

Stacking and piling another set of books which he ticked off on the packing slip Leo replied with a glance towards Cutty across the office. "I doubt that Headmistress Truebridge needs any help with recommended reading from me but I do look out for books that might be of interest to all of my colleagues for there lesson planning." Most were appreciative too.

With the work done and the office looking like an office again Leo walked over to the desk to take a sip from his coffee mug. Grimacing at taste of the now cold substance he used his wand to vanish the content. Answering Cutty’s question he nodded "Yes Headmistress Truebridge has taught Herbology at Hogwarts before. If I don’t recall totally wrong then her lessons were all very popular and liked amongst the students."

One thing that Leo liked about Cutty was that you could never really guess what answer you’d get out of him to a question. It left things interesting. But in this instance a little confusing. Cutty sold what? Deciding to focus on the last thing he had said Leo asked "So you want to be famous when you graduate from school? What do you want to work with?"
