[L] Searching for a Family

[Helia Ollivander]

"You okay Grace?" she asked worriedly as she hurried over to help ehr friend to her feet, "That must've smarted, nothings broken is it?" she knew she was overreacting a bit, she was a very overly-everything mood today. It was quite unusual.

[Prof Grace Marks]

Grace turned red and greatfully accepted Girty's hand. "Thanks! Yeah! Let's help!" She had completely forgotten about her tricky clause and her homework.

[Helia Ollivander]

"So what are you looking for specifically, Bog?" she asked, wondering if it was a class assignment to find out about a famous wizarding family's history, or if it was for fun, or if it was something he was doing for himself.

[Henry Boggleworth]

Boggleworth smiled at his friends he'd been looking intently at the books but heard Helia's question and answered "erm, well my family itself what they did and who they actually are cause I know nothing about them!" Boggleworth grinned thinking it was strange how he didn't know his family at all really

[Helia Ollivander]

Helia gave a lsightly stunned expression, "You don't know anything about them??" she asked, amazed. "Do you know if Boggleworth is even your real name, because it could be slightly difficult to find books on your family if you don't even know their name," she said, still a bit dazed.

[Henry Boggleworth]

"erm well, I suppose it might not be my name, I've never thought of it!" Boggleworth said feeling a little stupid as he gazed stupidly at the books not knowing where to start!

[Helia Ollivander]

"Well, I suppose we ought to at least start looking for a clan of Boggleworth's, and then if it turns out to be a flop we can always as the librarian for a bit of advice." she said, suggesting that if they couldn't find anything on his family that his Uncle might be a helpful resource.

[Henry Boggleworth]

"yes, but he's not quite the social type is Munchy, as a last resort though!" Boggleworth took a random book and quickly, too quickly flicked through the pages

[Helia Ollivander]

"You're not going to find anything if you aren't reading it, Gully. Besides, random books won't help you." she hurried down the isle and returned with a ladder. She climbed up it and ran her finger across the spines of the books. 'Beckmeins, Biringtons, McBorons...' "Try this one Gully." she dropped a dusty, blue cloth bound book with gold letters across the front that read 'The history of the Boggleworthies.'
"Some last names get shortened as time goes." she said with a shrug as she climbed down the ladder again.

[Henry Boggleworth]

Boggleworth caught the book with a grunt, then opened it gingerly a plume of dust rose from it "seems the Boggleworthies aren't popular then, nobody reads their book," Boggleworth laughed as he opened the first page waiting for Helia to come down

[Helia Ollivander]

She leapt off three steps from the bottom and leaned over his shoulder. "Very few of the family books get read. Most people don't want to know about their families, but such is life." she shrugged, then moved over to a table, "So what's it say?"

[Henry Boggleworth]

Boggleworth read for a moment then exclaimed "It sounds quite like me actaully, a lot of foolish things have hapenned, ha for example she'd be my Great Aunt I'd guess, she won the race around the world on the first type of broom!" Boggleworth laughed imagining an old woman flying crazily around on an ancient broomstick

[Helia Ollivander]

She laughed, "Now that does sound amusing! It say anything about you or your parents or anything?" she asked hopefully. She was getting thouroughly excited. It was like a massive puzzle and there were tons of pieces that could fit together in any number of ways but there was only one picture. And finding out what that was would be dreadfully interesting.

[Henry Boggleworth]

Boggleworth flicked nearer to the end of the book and found a torn page, there was only one letter remaining a 'P' and the rest had been torn out!
Boggleworth was annoyed "drat and double drat, the page has been torn! all that's been left is the letter P, I thought I was so close, darn" Boggleworth threw the book across the room then put his head in is hands, slowly sinking to the floor...

[Helia Ollivander]

"Just because it's not here doesn't mean it doesn't exist! I may have fallen out and been put in one of the books near it!" she said hopefully. She climbed the ladder again and pulled out the histories on either side of the empty space. She came back and sat down again and started thumbing through them. Surely there had to be at least a clue in one of these books! Didn't there?
