The Lamentable Library Log
Who: The Ghost Of Lemony Snicket ... AND YOU
What: Certainly not any productive studying, sorry if that's what you came to do...
When: Throughout the weekend
Where: Hogwarts' library, of course!
Rating: U for Unsuitable For Anyone, Ever. Also: Unfortunate.
The children's author E.B. White once wrote in a letter to the children of the town of Troy: "A library is a good place to go when you feel bewildered or undecided, for there, in a book, you may have your questions answered. Books are good company, in sad times and happy times, for books are people — people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book".
Unfortunately for the library of Hogwarts, there is one person who is hiding between the stacks of its books, and he has, most assuredly, not managed to stay alive. Anyone who has forgone the weekend trip down to Hogsmeade, or was somehow unable to attend, and finds themselves in the library for any reason or another today, will find themselves not entirely alone.
You may be reading, you may simply be sitting at one of the window seats staring wistfully out and wishing you could be elsewhere ... but somewhere nearby, you may catch the sound of someone weeping.
Or, perhaps, as you're wandering the stacks and attempt to pick a book off the shelf, it refuses to budge, and another book floats out to hover beside you, instead.
Whatever the circumstance, the Library Ghost is with you.

Still, libraries are interesting, and the one here is so very big! He's a little nervous at how easily he's become lost, but that's okay, because look at all the books! Maybe there was a storybook, and magic storybooks have to be interesting, right? Since he's too short to reach anything higher than the first two shelves, that's where he focuses his attention. The book with the glittery gold letters on the spine looks good!
Italy grabs with both hands and tugs, but the book - won't - move!
"Uuuugh! Why aren't you moving, Mister Book? I want to read you!!"

Oh, you don't want to read that one, most of the endings are far, far too depressing.

Italy takes a deep breath. "N-n-n-nice to, t-to meet you..."
