Restricted Section The restricted section of the library is as the name implies restricted. In this roped off and locked section you will find old fragile books and tomes. Some of the texts are dark and dangerous and therefore cannot be kept where just anyone can get a hold of them. Should you need to access to this area to retrieve a book, you need to seek out the librarian; Mr Kitridge with a signed permission slip from a professor. This will allow you to obtain the book you need. |
Aspen jiggled the door to the restricted section. She figured it be locked; it always had been when she was at Hogwarts. Though. Aspen had learned at Hogwarts that adults were all mostly incompetent so it didn't hurt to try and see if the Librarian had by chance been careless in re-locking the section. ..... where was that Librarian? Aspen, Auror-in-Training and Body Guard, needed to search THIS area. |

A little out of breath he came to a stop next to a young woman who was jiggling with the locks to the Restricted Section. When his pulse had gone down Leo addressed her calmly but wand still out. "Hello, who are you? And why are jiggling with the locks to the Restricted Section?" Was this woman perhaps one of the aurors sent from the Ministry of Magic to ensure everyone safety? |

Right on time. Aspen paused her door jiggling, though her hand remained on the door. She flashed Mr. Librarian her biggest smile, all big blue eyes for him. BEAM! "A former student of yours, Mr. Kitridge." Purrrrrrrrr! Aspen ran her hand along the door, then gave it a little shake again. "Just checking that this was secure." Aspen flashed him a grin again. |
Quote:
"I always make sure that the locks are solid, secure and in good condition. And I have a silent alarm in place that will warn me of any activity in this area." Leo explained "Do you wish to look around inside the restricted section?" |

Aspen shifted her weight away from the door, seemingly satisfied with his security (and a whole lot satisfied with the information he was supplying her). She threw him another grin, complete with a sweet head bob. Uh huh! Yes sir, she sure was related to West. "My baby brother. Though he's far from baby these days." Aspen opened her big blue eyes a little more. That's where the resemblance was, those Odessa blues. "Will you accompany me? I was never allowed in as a student. It'd be a good place for someone to hide, you know?" And Aspen smiled again, stepping back so Mr. Kitridge could open the door for her... no, them. |
Quote:
Furrowing his brows Leo opened the door and gestured for Aspen to follow him in. "I hope nobody wants to use this section of the library for hiding out. The books in the Restricted Section can be quite dangerous." Which was why Leo had an alarm in place so that he was made aware if someone student or otherwise were walking where they shouldn't be. |

Aspen was making a detailed list in her head of every step, every move this Librarian was making - all the while keeping her charming smile in place. She tucked her hair behind her ear, kept close, nodded to all of Mr. Kitridge's points. Uh huh. "....which book?" Aspen couldn't QUITE help the eagerness in her voice. "Yes, I agree. Very dangerous. But, these threats... it couldn't hurt to check." Again, Aspen smiled big at him. Now. Which book? |
Quote:
"Oh, just a book Professor Romanos borrowed in preparation for her field trip to Peru. It's called 'The Brewing of Curses: A 17th Century Compendium' by Alistair Burrows." Leo said as he pulled out the book from within his robe pocket and showed it to Aspen. At the mention of the threat Leo’s expression turned more worried but he didn't say anything as he had just reached the right aisle. |

Aspen was staying close physically, but mentally.... she was IN the Restricted Section! !!!!! Literally, no Professor would grant her access as a student. She'd even begged at one point, stalked a Professor over a summer, and ...nothing. All it took was a badge? She was listening HARD to the books, scanning the spines as quickly as she could. Aspen was often desperate for anything, but in this moment... she wanted to run her fingers down the row of books SO badly, no matter how ill advised she knew that to be. ... .... Peru trip. What? Hm. Aspen filled in the awkward pause with a smile again. "I'd like to make this area part of my regular rounds, if you don't mind." Pause...pause... "Could I check one of these out?" Aspen asked, though she'd not at ALL planned to ask. Were one of these books making her spout out truth? |

Eyes widening a little in surprise he asked "Are you sure this is wise? The Restricted Section is not a place for lingering very long. Some books can attack you, you know?" He wasn’t very comfortable with the idea of West’s sister making regular visits to the Restricted Section even if she was a trained auror. Nothing good could come out of regular visits. Turning to lead Aspen out of the section again Leo paused. "You want to borrow a book from here? Which one and why? I don't let anyone loan books from this section lightly." Leo didn't even let his colleagues borrow books from here without making absolutely sure that they knew what they were getting themselves into. It was no different with an auror. |
