It was the first time the woman visited. She noted the bookshelf and the music box especially. "That's beautiful,'' was her comment with a nod towards the music box.

"Oh, yes. I almost forgot. I brought you something.'' In her hand was... that's right. A book. As a book lover, Kay was fond of giving books as presents as much as she was of receiving them. "I'm not sure if you've read Great Expectations but it's a wonderful book. Think of it as a 'Welcome to the Staff' present.'' The book was held out to him.

It was always a pleasure having visitors over. He'd already had two student visits this morning (in which they discussed homework) but the Muggle Studies professor was the first staff person to drop by so far. He smiled as she stepped into his office and complimented the music box. "Ah I'm glad you like it. I collect music boxes. Would you like to see this one closer? Here, go on, try it." And he handed the music box to her. She could wind it up if she wanted. "That one in particular I found on an old battlefield from the goblin wars, battered and hardly useable. It was buried halfway into the ground. Surely, I thought, it must have belonged to a gallant soldier. I brought it home and cast several fixing charms upon it so now it works good as new. I carry it to honor the memory of its past owner."

A present? How very nice of her! Charles smiled as he was given the book."Great Expectations," he read the title out loud. "You know, this is perfect. I have not let read this book, though I have read others by Charles Dickens. a Christmas Carol, for example. Very fine book. Am looking forward to reading this one. Thank you."

"Would you like to sit down?" he asked politely, gesturing to one of the two visitor chairs. "Something to drink, perhaps?"
