Today's library access will be restricted

[alt_percy]

His Excellency the Lord Protector will spending a few hours at Hogwarts today. There will be a period when student access to the library will be restricted. Madam Pince will be stationed at the library entrance, and she and a few Prefects (I am one of them) may be able to retrieve books from the library's collection which are urgently needed today on a case-by-case basis. This will not, however, include any books from the Restricted Section. All of the Professors have been notified, however, and of course no one will lose points for work that a student was not able to complete due to today's restricted library access.

The students who ordinarily meet in the library for study purposes will need to find other locations today. The Great Hall will be opened for extended hours to accommodate.

His Excellency will not be available for questions in any way. Please do not embarrass his security staff by having the temerity to attempt to interrupt Him or anyone else in his entourage in order request an autograph.

Order Only

[alt_kingsley]

The LP is coming to Hogwarts to use the library? Any idea why, Minerva?

Interesting. If there's any way you can find out what books he requested, Minerva, I'm sure my analysts would love to know.

I assume whatever he was looking for in my parents' library wasn't there.

Wish I knew what it was, though. If it's so dark my own father didn't have it ... well, then it must be nefarious indeed.

What did you do to be chosen for that detail, Weasley?

How many people came with Him?

[alt_percy]

All of the Prefects, of course, expressed their willingness to help. I assume that the ones who were chosen simply had more open class periods this afternoon.

There are a number of people accompanying Him, but of course, due to the fact that His security arrangements may not be discussed, I am not allowed to give you the exact number.

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

Ha. That's telling her.

What d'you suppose she wants to know that for, anyway? Wondering if she could break through security and go lick His shoes?

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

Maybe she was wondering if Bellatrix Lestrange was along, since Patil worships Sandoval and Sandoval worships Mrs Lestrange.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_ron]

Did you see what she said to Sandoval? About wanting to touch books the Protector touched?

Now that's creepy.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

Yeah, I did.

As IF he'd be looking at books anywhere but the restricted section. The most restricted part of the restricted section.
