But hadn't Tia told her she started Hogwarts in her fourth or fifth year? Maybe Rach had heard wrong. "Thank you for that. I shall try walking along briskly the next time.'' "How long have you been at Hogwarts, Mr Kitridge? Did you start out as the Ravenclaw Head of House at the same time as well?'' This was the main reason she was here at his Office today; to get to know him better.
The first year expected no less from Mr Kitridge and his urge to help her seek the owner of the doll. "Of course.'' She removed the doll from the chair and placed it gently on his desk. She really did hope he would be able to find something. Quote:

She was not broken. Perfect condition. Quote:

Rachel gasped as the doll somehow fell from the table. She had been so careful to place it on the table. She got to her feet, stooping quickly to scoop the doll up. "It's not damaged,'' she informed Mr Kitridge in relief and giving it a hug. Yes, she loved toys. She straightened its attire. There was no dust to remove from it because Mr Kitridge's office was so clean but she did brush back the curls neatly into place with her fingers. "I really ought to be more careful with it.'' But she had been, hadn't she? Just to be sure, she placed it on the table, further along in the middle this time. Quote:

She blinked.
Just. Once. Shrugging Leo said "It's worth a try but if the staircase moves when you are on it then just wait it out. When it has stopped moving, figure out on what floor you are and then go to where you intended." The moving staircases had a life of its own and it moved when it felt like it.
Leaning back in his chair Leo had to count backwards before he responded to Rachel. "I've been working here at hogwarts since back in 2077 so i'm into my 12th year of service now. I've been head of Ravenclaw for the last 6 years of them." He was trying to not think about his age or his years of service since it made uncertainties and fears creep to the surface. Leo did not want to go through a midlife crisis right now. He was getting married and having a baby. That was quite enough.
Before he had a chance to get a closer look at the doll it somehow fell off his desk and landed on the floor. Odd. Had he knocked the doll over or had Rachel? One of them must have unconsciously done something since the doll had fell off the desk. Leo reached out to touch the doll when Rachel had put it back on his desk again. Hearing a distinct sound he drew his hand back and commented to Rachel. "The doll seems to be made of porcelain. Expensive. Could be a doll that has been passed down from mother to daughter in a wizard family for many generations. You could put up fliers about it? Maybe even bring it along to your first class tomorrow or would you rather that I keep it and ask around?"
