Turn The Page.

[Etano Matautia]

Tan sighed softly as he finished up replacing a few books that some first years had just left on one of the tables. Most of the students respected the library enough to replace their books. But the babies still had time to learn. Tan had no doubt that they would learn. Most did...or they at least faked it well enough for his liking. But today, as Tan turned around to head back to his desk, there was a student approaching, and he recognized young Magnus right away. It was hard not to.

"Magnus...how can I help you?" he asked with a smile.

[Magnus Johansen]

Magnus only felt partially prepared for this impromptu meeting. Of course chatting with Paige had helped prep them for it thankfully, but there was that stupid undercoating of nerves that came from having a crush on someone. Not that they really thought anything would come of said crush, but it was fun to pretend. 

“Hello,” They greeted warmly as they looked up at Mister Matautia. “Headmistress sent me to speak with you about an inquiry I had, If you have the time for me right now, that is.”

[Etano Matautia]

Tan's eyebrows may have arched slightly in surprise. It wasn't often that students were sent to seek him out...but he would never turn a student away. Ever. So as Magnus asked if he had time, Tan offered them a smile. "Of course," he offered, motioning to a nearby table and moving to sit...thankful the library had larger chairs. Once they were situated, Tan fixed his gaze on the Ravenclaw.

"What would you like to talk about?"

[Magnus Johansen]

Oh what to say. Magnus took a seat across from the man and brought a hand up to sweep their hair back behind their shoulders. Mister  Matauia was always so kind, it was a wonder he didn’t have more people inquire about a position helping him in the library just to be around him. Either that or people did ask and they were just denied. Shit. They hoped that wasn’t the case. 

“I had a dream the other night that I became a librarian. It seemed rather peaceful so I was wondering if you needed any help in here? While I try to…. Ponder my dreams in this life?”

[Etano Matautia]

Tan felt his cheeks quirk upwards as he smiled. Dreams of being a librarian. Not many seemed interested in such a career! Sure, some students had wound up taking on summer internships at the massive library in Knockturn Alley...and while that was lovely, he knew they often did it for various scholarship opportunities that Charles often provided. So Magnus displaying such interest warmed his heart.

"I think that sounds like a fantastic idea."

He shot the Raven a grin and a nod.

"I'd be happy to talk to Mistress McGonagall and set it all up...what days and times were you thinking?"

[Magnus Johansen]

Oh. That was way easier than they thought it would be? Magnus masked the surprise at the acceptance from their face and clasped their hands together in their excitement. “Oh good! I’m so glad you said yes.” Magnus said, giving the man another smile. 

“I have a free fourth period. Soo… perhaps then? Monday Tuesday and Wednesday?”
