| Swedishfish Girl! Madame Librarian! Jess's Soul Sister! Sweetest Swede! SPOILER!!: Rachel Quote:

Rachel moved closer to the bean bags, selecting a pink one that matched the dress she was wearing. She was bundled up to keep warm but the lower part of it was still visible. Smoothing the dress beneath her, she took a seat and tried to see the title of the book Mr Kitridge was reading. Leo had tried a new way of doing things. To give the students clues to the theme of the book meeting on their way to the meeting spot. He'd see how it panned out. If the students hated it or just got confused by it then he'd change it back to how he usually did it. Leo had just turned the page in the book he was reading when Rachel arrived as the first student. Gazing up at her Leo smiled and shook his head. "Good evening Rachel. The theme is not Halloween. The clues are supposed to make you think of a magical author." SPOILER!!: Kitty Quote:

"What is making those screaming sounds?"
Kitty was wearing her usual black robes and dark lipstick and eyeliner, and her raven hair was combed - leaving bangs over her forehead. Sitting down shakily on one of the bean bags, she placed her book in her lap and wondered how many more were coming. Next student to arrive was another eagle, closing his book Leo turned his gaze to Kitty and smiled up at her reassuringly. "Good evening Kitty, oh the screams? It's just an old tape recording of a screaming banshee. Nothing to be worried about. I'll stop the recording when everyone has arrived." Which Leo realized would take a few more minutes since not everyone was as early as Rachel and Kitty. SPOILER!!: Ellery Quote:

No title? No problem. The third student to arrive was also the third girl to arrive. At the sound of his name Leo turned to beam over at Ellery of the lions. "Good evening Ellery, how are you? I hope the vampire didn't give you a scare?" Seeing a vampire even if it wasn't a real one would scare him especially if he wasn't prepared to see one. Ellery didn't look rattled though so maybe Leo's idea would be a success after all? SPOILER!!: Dante Quote:

And it was actually a pretty cool set up. Now Dante understood by Nigel liked the Librarian. Besides hearing he loved his hair as much as his brother or whatever is left of it. "Hey Mr Kitridge"
Dante greeted the man before taking a seat by Ellery.
Dante said smiling. He was hoping she would at least answer. But there is no guarantee since the last time the talked she hid underneath table. In Ellery's wake Dante arrived. Beaming broadly over at the boy dressed in Slytherin green Leo greeted. "Good evening Dante. I hope the walks should we say 'surprises' didn't scare you too much?" Given what Leo had heard that the Hag had done he wasn't surprised if his props would scare some of the students. SPOILER!!: Hady Quote:

Finally she reached the group and took a seat setting her bag on her lap. "Hello Mr. Kitridge!" Hady greeted with a slight grin. It was by far easiest to greet them all at once. Hady arrived after Dante, when she had take a seat and had set her bag in her lap Leo's eyes fell on the gooey substance on one of her fingers. Blinking and smiling at Hady Leo asked "Good evening Hady, did you test to see if the ghoul was real since you have some wax there on your finger?" It was good that Hady had tested if the dolls were real. It was easier to believe then. SPOILER!!: Prof Art Quote:
Originally Posted by Jessiqua Walking towards the meeting area, Art paused to look at everything that greeted him. Fascinating. He smiled to himself, peering through his glasses at everything. Even the sounds were giving him the sort of nervous excited feeling.
Ah, there they were. Some of the students, and Mr. Kitridge. "Good evening everyone. Hello Mr. Kitridge," he said, with nods and smiles. He looked around for a few moments before choosing a bean bag he liked the look of. He carefully lowered himself down onto it, and wiggled around to make himself comfortable. It was a welcome surprise to see one of his newer colleagues make his way over to attend the book club meeting. Shooting the potions master as bright beam Leo said "Good evening Professor Newton, did you like the look of the gurgling wax ghoul?" It was always nice when other staffers showed up. SPOILER!!: Blaise Quote:
Originally Posted by DaniDiNardo It wasn't Halloween anymore but somehow, Blaise was sure Mr. Kitridge hadn't gotten the message. Poor guy, just look how all out he'd gone. Vampire dolls, blood on the floor, creepy drumming. Now he'd have to go and think up something completely different for next year.
The calendar is your friend, Sir.
Deciding he wouldn't be the guy to tell him, Blaise simply took a seat on one of the bean bag chairs. Oh look, another Professor was here for the club. You'd think being his colleague HE would tell him how off his dates were but maybe...just maybe...he didn't know either.
Weird.... Blaise Bellaire arrived and silently took a seat on one of the bean bags. The boy did not greet him which made Leo very curious. Had the walk between the ghoul and vamp and sounds made him so frightened that he didn't want to talk to anyone. Beaming warmly at the youngling Leo greeted. "Good evening Mr Bellaire. Is everything all right?"
**
Glancing down at his wrist watch Leo deemed that it was high time to start. Those who arrived late could just silently slip in, take a seat and join in the discussion when they arrived. Closing his book and placing it beside him he sat up straighter on his bean bag. Raising his voice slightly to be heard by everyone Leo said warmly. "Welcome everyone to this year's book club meeting! For those who don't know me yet I'm Leobald Kitridge, the school's head librarian. I've been a member of the faculty of Hogwarts for 12 years and I still enjoy reading and caring for books and inspiring the student body to keep reading as much as I did when I first started working here."
Pulling out his wand Leo cut off the drums and banshee recording since the sound wasn't pleasant anymore to his ears with a few flicks. Letting his eyes travel over the students as he re-pocketed his wand he asked. "If we combine the vampire, the ghoul, the screaming banshee, the drums which were troll music and the snowy yeti footprints into books written by a magical author, can anyone guess which author were going to be discussing today?" OOC: Meeting is now started! If you are just now joining us then please play as if you've been there all along. All are welcome still! Will continute approx 24 hours from now.
