:: Collecting the jar of buttons from her desk she frowned at the Hufflepuff. "Why didn't you buy a book?" She asked softly. Ganymede only had her own old school book and her Teacher's copy.
"I guess I have an extra. Just ignore all the scribbles in the margins." She walked over to the chained crate and pulled up the robe. Inside was a stack of old school books, an old box of swamps, wetstart fireworks, extendable ears, and several notebooks some with snakes on the cover and one with a skull and crossbones on the front. There was also a very tattered box if dark green and silver party streamers.
She grabbed the book with gold curvy lettering and covered her crate with the old robe again. "This was my own copy. I don't think I have any jinxes on this book. But, since you are a Hufflepuff..." She looked down at the book and opened it in her hands.
There were rude pitcures of a rather fat man drew by herself in her 5th year, some Droobles gum holding the binding together near the bottom, and stick figures of a girl in a large hat, a boy who glared, and a third person that was covered in hearts. On another page was a charmed doodle of a boy being thrown into the Black Lake and then repeatedly gobbled by the Giant Squid. Ganymede found this all very amusing. She took her wand out and tapped the book a few times, whispering old counter jinxes. The book seemed fine, but on the third tap, it sneezed.
"Eh.. I knew there was something on this book." She wiped it clean for the young Hufflepuff.
"Now, please return this to me at the end of the year." She handed her the book, which had the soft odor of Newts Eyes.
"Class will begin shortly." She told Edaj before sitting once again at her desk. ::
