"Your right, it is a little progressive and unfortunately not everyone was as positive or welcoming to sending us potential students because of that. Yet we all agree that its important for wizards and witches to receive a good education, especially with the magic carried in all of them and the dangers it can cause in untrained hands. We hope to be able to education young witches and wizards the basics of what they need to know and then a little more. For now, the four of us have our knowledge and experience to offer to the students while they are here and despite its current state that includes the vast amount of knowledge to be found in the library as well" Helga replied.
She turned to Maximus, smiling cheerfully as he spoke. She couldn't help but like the way a smile looked on his face, though it didn't seem like a very bright smile. Maybe with some rest and good food she could help to warm up that smile a bit more.
"Yes, I think your brot... I mean Sir Raine the younger had mentioned wanting your sister to attend Hogwarts but there was hesitation from your parents on the matter. Hopefully we can give you enough to see and take back to them that can help ease his mind about letting her come" She said turning to look at the corridor ahead as it opened up to the staircase taking them down to the lower floors. Thankfully this time she had caught herself from her ill manners, the last thing she wanted to do was insult Maximus and potentially ruin the chances of his and Merrick's sister from coming to school.
"I'll be sure to pass on your compliments to Rowena though. It may not have seemed like it but shes very proud of her collect of books and values knowledge in all its forms. She will eventually find the right person to help her set the library to right and then it will be a sight everyone can take in and enjoy while they are here." Helga paused as she took hold of the stair handrail and looked at Maximus, her smile had ease a little warmer and simple as she faced him. She didn't think he would be it going from his appearance but he too seemed to enjoy books and the solitary comfort one could find in its pages. It was something she couldn't quite get but she didn't judge others for it either, everyone had their comfort place and had the right to enjoy it. "I'm sure once its finished you would be welcome to come back and see it completed. Rowena would maybe be in better spirits and company by then, its been a bit stressful for her with its current state and the trouble of finding the right person to help her with it."
"That is, unless you think you would like the position yourself Sir Raine? You seem to have a similar view of books and the library as Rowena. I'm sure looking past this bit of a mistake I made today she could see the qualities and hard work you could bring to the task. Between the two of you I'm sure the library will be a breathtaking and marvelous sight for our students as well as the staff. Just something to think about, you don't need to answer right now" She knew Merrick was concerned not just for his sister but his brother as well, during their chat in the dining hall he had expressed wanting to find something for his brother to do who seemed lost in life after his return from battle. Looking after the library perhaps was the ticket to gaining that.
The task seemed perfect for him with how he had taken in the sight of the books and library as it was, getting to help put it to order maybe was what would help bring the warmth back to his heart. Though she didn't want to jump at asking just yet, the library was technically Rowena's project so it was up to her who filled the position but maybe at least letting him think it over as they walked wouldn't be so bad. Surely her best friend wouldn't hold what happened today against him. They seemed to share a common interest so it would be good fit if he was interested in the position. Then Helga could better cover in spots not taken care of with the library with her cooking to really get his spirits back up again.
