Rafe really didn't know who to do to... Lupa wasn't here anymore and that was forever ago. Who would he be able to confide in with his certain...well, half-ness. Should he go to the Headmaster...no? He was probably too busy with the new security. Rafe thought for awhile before concluding that the Head of House would probably be the best person to go and see. Hopefully she would be accepting, but some people were so hard to tell. They either were okay with half-breeds or found them disgusting and should be wiped off from the planet. There was only one way to find out... he went to the HoH's office and gave it a knock.

*Knock*Knock*Knock*

Lexi had the small parcel tucked under her arm as she shlumped into the Library in search of the Gryffie HoH. She smiled slightly as she saw Rafe, but daren't speak for fear that Kimber would come out and eat her. Nah, not really. Heheh. It WAS rude to speak unless necessary in the library, though. Taking upa spot near a shelf she waited outside the door seeing as Rafe had already knocked. Doop dooop dooooo.

Heather decided to go check a book out of the Library. She didn't really know much about where everything in the Library was so she just decided to ask the Librarian. Heather really hoped she was sweet. Heather changed her mind and just walked away instead. She'd go look for Rafe.

Raven made his self to the library, he remember that the Gryffindor Head of House is also the librarian, so he decided to visit the Lady and make himself introduce a little, beside paying a visit to a librarian is not a sin.

*knock, knock, knock*

Simon decided that since he had forgot where everything was in the Library he might as well as the Librarian where the books where kept, he also wondered if the Librarian would have a chat with him, he hoped that she would but he wasn't very sure, he had this strange feeling this lady wouldn't like being disturbed.

Sighs. There were so many people lining up to see the woman, Lexi decided that coming back later would be a better idea. Then she could speak to her head of house a bit longer. She was really considering leaving Hogwarts. Perhaps Madame Donovan could give her some advice. Well, it would have to wait a while. With one last glance at the office door she turned and made her way from the library and into the corridor, parcel still under her arm.

Rafe watched as Lexi left. He felt bad and perhaps he should've said something to her, but he found most professors didn't like chatter outside their office and who could blame them. He certainly wouldn't want people be loud and annoying outside his door when he was doing something important. Then he looked behind him and noticed some younger students piling up to see the Head of House as well. Rafe rolled his eyes. He hoped he could get a private audience, since what he wished to discuss was very personal. Rafe sighed and continued to wait patiently for the Librarian to arrive.

Sarassi walked over to the door of the libarian and saw that there was a boy there look like she was going to have to wait....Well that was fine she could read that book she had picked up in the history section while waiting to talk to her...Sarassi loved to read..Unlike her sister who called her Bookworm! Hehe well she didnt really mind...She waited paitently for the libarian to come and she began to read through the book...

Madam Donovan pushed past the children waiting outside her office and opened the door. "Come along," she said impatiently as she walked through. "I don't have all day." 'Why were there so many of them?' *sigh*

Sophie headed down to the library in searh of her Gryffie HOH. She need somebody to talk to about 'boys' among other things and Madam Donovan seemed like the obvious woman to go to. In her position as prefect the brunette also felt that she should develop a closer relationship with the librarian considering that she was her head of house and, not to forget the reason for the pinned prefect badge on her chest. As Sophie slipped into the library and saw the number of waiting students outside Madam Donovan's office she almost turned to leave to coms back another time but decided instead to wait her turn.

"I know there are a lot of students present," Rafe said. "But, I was hoping to get a private word with you. I just have something I would like to share with you that's a bit personal." He definitely didn't want the other students to hear, but he understood her determination to see all the students and get it done and over with.

Raven smile they notice now, having waiting.
"Good day Madam, wanted to introduce my self", yes, that the real reason. "I'm Revellius Perevell, Raven will do but for you --you can call me whatever you like --I'm a first year" Raven paused. "I'm paying a courtesy call in my Head of House, and it happen to be you, Madam" Raven respectfully say

Sarassi smiled and said Umm...I am a first year and I was wondering if you could tell me what the libary holds?Like what type of books?she said smiling......

Kimber spied Sophie making her way towards and paused in the doorway. "You too, Soph," she said, motioning the prefect inside.
The librarian looked down at the boy and sighed. She could see that he was troubled and well... she couldn't just turn him away. "I can clear the room out if you want to wait," she offered. SEE?! Not at all as heartless as everyone assumed. "Just take a seat."
Kimber just stood and stared. 'Wow! That was a mouthful.'

"Erm... okay, Revellius," she blinked. "Nice to meet you." Was that all?
Still eying the talkative boy, Madam Donovan was SURE she misunderstood the next child's question.

"I'm sorry, what?!" she asked. "You're asking me what types of books the Library holds??" Wow, Really?!

"Well... let's see... could be it holds LIBRARY books," she answered at last, shaking her head in disbelief.

Sarassi chuckled and said I am sorry I must have said it wrong..I meant like what kinds...Like historical..Romance...Mystery....Educational..She said smiling..Just because she was a Ravenclaw didnt mean she was SUPER SUPER smart!

"Nice to meet you too, Madam" Raven say, smiling. "If you need assistance in anything, send me an owl, and I is happy to serve, Madam" Raven add, honestly, all the word is true in its original meaning.

Sophie walked into Madam Donovans office after the other students wishing that they hadn't been there. She would have preferred to talk to her Head of House alone. But that wasn't something she could do anything about. Taking a breath Sophie asked "Good day Madam! Could you give my some OWL studying pointers? It feels like i don't have any control over it at all." She would have liked to add and I'm not sure why i'm a prefect either and what i'm supposed to do with two boys who both like me. But she didn't not really sure if Madam Kimber was the right person to talk to about those things. The pictures on her desk gave the lion prefect a feeling that love was a touchy subject.

The librarian furrowed her eyebrows a moment and just stood there. Hmm...

"I'm not making myself clear," she said. As if the sheer SIZE of the Library gave no indication of what was held between it's lovely stone walls. "Our Library has an extensive collection of materials to choose from. I encourage you to peruse the shelves."
Blink. Blink. Such an eager Gryffindor. "Thank you," she said flatly. "I will keep that in mind. Good day."
Right. Heads of House. Advisers, therapists, mediators. It all really boiled down to "guidance counselor". "Of course, Sophie," Kimber said, walking behind her desk to her chair. "Have a seat and we'll draw up a schedule. Preparing for your O.W.Ls should be easy, given you manage your time effectively."

Sophie took a seat in one of the chairs in front of Madam Donovan's desk. Placing her hands in her lap she said confidently. "I usually manage my time effectly but with my extended prefect responsiblities i've kinda gotten behind and lost a sense direction. I don't know if i should even take all owls." It felt nice to be able to ask about something that had troubled her for quite some time. Not wanting to come off as ungrateful she continued "I take pride in being a Gryffindor house prefect and helping other students and even professors out from time to time. What I guess has stumped me is how to make it all mesh without it leaving me exhausted." Then there was the BOYS to think about too.

Simon smiled as he went into the room, he hadn't really met this Professor before, saying that he hadn't been in the Library much before today. "Professor may I ask you a question?" He wanted to be polite instead of going on with the question first.

Kimber frowned when she heard the doubt creep into Sophie's voice. "There's really no question when it comes to taking your O.W.Ls," she interrupted. "You WILL sit your exams. You are more than capable and certainly smart enough. You just need to relax and let things come naturally." She offered a smile to let her know that she understood and then added, "Believe in yourself, Sophie. Like I believe in you."
Madam Donovan cringed noticeably when she heard the boy call her "Professor". With a roll of her eyes, she lifted her head to him with an impassive expression. "Yes? What is it?" she mumbled.

Sophie was a bit startled by the the force in Madam Kimber's voice. She wasn't thinking about sitting the OWL's. The prefect was more stressed about which OWL's to take. "Um, Madam I am going to sit my O.W.L's you don't need to worry. What is making me uncertain is if i should sit all of them. I am to put it mildly dreadful in potions making."

Smiling up at her head of house she said with warmth. "I will believe in myself and make you proud. Has Arabella-Marie been to see you?" The prefect hoped that the second year had since worrying didn't do anyone any good.

"That's an easy enough question to answer," Kimber replied calmly. "Tell me... what are your plans for the future? After you graduate from Hogwarts," she clarified. In other words, what did she want to do with her life?

Hearing her next question - so completely off the subject - the librarian looked at her curiously for a moment before shaking her head. "No. Should I be expecting her?"

Cass approached the office door, though it seemed that the librarian (and his Head of House) was not in. Still to be sure he knocks on the door. Sense the changes this year he has been practicing his 'Art' in his dorm room when the others are out but there is only so much once can do in a small area, and if he did not see if it was OK for him to return to the D.A.D.A. practice room his Katas and Forms than needed more room would suffer (and then he would when his mother tested him during the Summer break).

Not sure how long the wait may be he takes and starts going over notes from his most recent classes...
