To reiterate the library is not:
1. A place for food.

2. A place for drinks.

3. A place to bring dates*.


Any of the following things if discovered will see you end up in a detention.

*I'm using dates euphemistically. I'm sure you are all smart enough to work out what I really mean.

There are some books missing from the restricted section of the library.

Due to an anonymous donation it doesn't appear that I'll have to worry about the budget cuts that were made to the library.

I can't believe he likened me to the grounds-keeper and called me support staff!

Despite the lack of any actual proof I am still convinced that there is a ghost in the library.

It isn't natural to have a school this old and no ghosts.

It's interesting the things you can find tucked into the back cover of books - like photographs of probably long dead students. This had to have been taken about 1901. I wonder why it ended up here in the back of an old Charms textbook.

I'm starting to believe that the library might be haunted. Books falling off shelves, strange foot-prints in the dust in the restricted section where the house-elves won't clean.

Of course, it could as easily be students sneaking into places they're not allowed but I'd like it if it was a ghost.

A past librarian hopefully. It seems rather tragic that a student would choose to haunt the library and not, say, the Quidditch pitch or the boys showers in Quillory which I understand from some scribbling in the margins of a second edition of Defensive Magical Theory is the place to sneak a look.

It's New Year's Day. The library isn't open. Why would you want to come to the library today anyway?

Can I please remind all of you who currently have books out that they must be returned before the Christmas holidays? You cannot take them home with you.

How many months has it been since the Headmaster was deposed? And I have just removed the last of the books he confiscated from storage. I think that deserves some sort of reward.
