"I'm sorry," she told Kitridge, about the books. She meant that. Believe it or not, the girl did have her own, unique, ethical code. She did want to ask about why he couldn't just fix the books with magic. She'd seen it do so much already, why was that beyond its capabilities? But thought better of it, and put a bit more distance between Kitridge and herself and went back to scourgifying food off shelves.


Finally! There it was, the apology. It had taken a lot to get one but at least he got one and it seemed sincere too. "Apology accepted Hadley." Leo responded simply. "I urge you to start thinking before you speak. If you continue to let your mouth run away with you Hadley then it will lead you to trouble maybe even detention." If she sassed the wrong adult that would be the end result. Hopefully this would get her to start thinking.


SPOILER!!: Esme, Kitty, Olivia and more Haddie

"I'm Esme," she said with a smile to Olivia. She would remember the name, but there was no time to get to know each other properly because Mr. Kitridge needed their help. "Name is Esme," she told him with a smile. It was no real surprise that he didn't recognize her since she didn't exactly spend a lot of time at the library.

She couldn't even remember the last time she had been here...

"Yes, Sir!" she said giving a little salute. She could do that easily. Heading over to one of the book trolleys, she made a tisking sound. So much food wasted and so much left for them to clean. Shaking her head, she got to work.

But hearing him say it right now with so much raw emotion made her feel very sorry for what Peeves had done, and she was glad when Haddie apologized. "Scourgify" she muttered, aiming her wand at one of the shelves.

Thankfully at that moment two more students (A Ravenclaw and a Hufflepuff) offered to help them clean up. Kitty smiled at them as Kitridge gave them instructions. With all five of them cleaning, this should be finished in no time!

Time to get to work then.

Olivia snagged her own book trolley, using a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe stuff off of the books she found there, setting them aside so she could clean the trolley itself next. However she was distracted by the spell her dorm mate appeared to be using to help. “Haddie…what’s that spell?” she asked curious. One day in and she hadn’t quite gotten the chance to learn much if anything.

"Scourgify! Scourgify! Scourgify!"

Oh, look. One was sopping wet. She wasn't even able to make out what the cover said because it was covered with food. "Yuck." Esme made a face as she picked it up."This one is pretty bad, Mr. Kitridge." she said as she held it up for him to see.


Turning his attention to the slightly older girl in yellow and black robes Leo beamed. "It's a pleasure to meet you Esme. In what year of your magical studies are you in? You seemed to be older than 11 years old." Unlike Haddie and Olivia.

Moving over to help Kitty with the top shelves on the aisle Leo asked with a glance to girl as he used the 'tergeo' spell to ride the book spines of tomato sauce. "Have you got any favourite authors or book genres Kitty?" It helped to talk. It distracted him from the headache that had not gone away just because Haddie had apologized.

He heard behind him how Haddie demonstrated the spell he had showed her and Kitty to Olivia and Esme. He wondered if she did that to make up for angering him? It was nice if that was the case . Leo had just put back a book he had cleaned off pudding from when Esme came over with book in a very poor state. Peeves had done quite number on it. Examining the book he nodded to Esme. "Yes it looks pretty bad, Esme. The pudding has really stuck to the covers hasn't it? I'll take it, I need to clean it in my office. Thanks for taking it to me though."

Looking over at Olivia that was working on the books in one of the trolley's he called over "So Olivia, are you the first Stone to go to Hogwarts?"
