He just couldn't see himself standing around and futilely casting the line again and again with no result. But it must be relaxing for some, including Leo.

He raised an eyebrow as the librarian explained the situation at the library. "Hmm, that's very odd... Why plants though? What makes you think that?" No matter what the reason, that sounded disturbing and he couldn't help but think about how he might feel if he found one of his rooms in such disarray. Perhaps he should think about tighter security charms on his rooms as well. "I'm surprised none of the alarms alerted you to an intruder. Perhaps it would be wise to talk to Julien about that." Or even Hirsch, though he wasn't so sure it was necessarily some dark force at play.
And Peeves, though relatively harmless was awfully annoying at times and could just add to the aggravation. So he understood and he nodded his head to convey that. "Yeah, I probably would.. They obviously aren't strong enough or perhaps are starting to wear off." Even the most powerful of magic had to be reinforced from time to time as far as he knew.

He blinked as the sudden change of subject surprised him slightly. "Uh, nothing too exciting. Just spending time with family. What about you?"

To most fishing was patience testing, unproductive and in some lights probably frustrating too but not to Leo. He had always enjoyed fishing for its relaxing influence on him. He didn't need to catch a fish, he didn't throw out his line just for that. He just liked the art of fishing and that it soothed his mind and was predictable. Too little on a daily basis at a school like Hogwarts was ever predictable but fishing or reading a book was.

Pulling the line in Leo answered Ansley's question with a shrug "Plants books were the only books thrown about and lying damaged on the restricted sections floor, so that's why I naturally drew that conclusion unless someone just randomly started their search there on the hunt for something completely different and then left because they got interrupted." There were some dangerous book in the section Merlin knew so Leo hoped that they would get to be untouched and undisturbed in the future.

Putting his fishing pole down on the bridge floor Leo said to Ansley as he raised a brow in confusion. "Um, which time do you mean? Peeves I caught in the act. The other incident happened while we were away on summer vacation. Is there an alarm strong enough that can alert me of an intruder in the library if I'm not currently inside the castle?" He'd have to ask both Roderick and Julien about that when he saw the two of them at dinner later that night.

"I'll take your advice though and strengthen all the magic surrounding the section. It can't hurt." Leo reasoned. It was better to be extra safe than sorry. As for Christmas plans. Well. "Same here. Family time with my wife and son. Cassie wants us to start looking at houses."
