"Well, all this is more or less a refresher for myself.  Any notable countercurses or charms or information will not necessarily be specifically useful, but having the information should help to adapt to anything that does come up, which shouldn't be too drastically different from what we're reading up on.  Since I don't know what's going to happen, I have to be prepared for everything.....Hmmm....."  He scratches in thought.  "Okay.  There's a book on some of the secrets of Nacodsaed, hidden rooms, lurking, ancient creatures, dangerous mazes in the deepest dungeons, from a long, long time ago, stuff like that.  I remember Granny told me that book is the best bet for safety if you want to be exploring the dangerous parts of the grounds."  He gets up.  "Come on, I'll show you where it is."<br/><br/>As they walk through the library, he says "I even added some bits on adventures of my own.  So have other students, and Professors, over years and years it's gotten bigger."<br/><br/>They finally found it, hidden in a small, but largely ignored, section on Automobiles.  The books haven't even been updated in at least 20 years.  Wizard's don't care much about Muggle technologies, for the most part.<br/><br/>He pushes some books aside, reaches back into the shelf, and pulls out an old tome, bound in gleaming leather.  For it's age, it looks well maintained, yellowed pages mingle with more recent, white additions, the binding has been replaced and the whole book magically preserved for durability.  "Dragon skin binding."  Weyland notes.  "This book has seen a lot of things."  It is titled the<span class="bbc_u">Perils of Academics</span>.<br/><br/>He opens it.  "Index...." Flips some pages, runs his finger down.  "Okay, only one new addition since mine."  He flips through it and laughs.  "Ha!  So, the plumbing problems two years ago were from an underground enchanted bog that corroded the walls and the pipes  Heh, the basement of Leopord Hall got flooded.  Two first years lost their boots in the muck and the skeleton of a long dead bog creature was found.  Says they disenchanted it, removed it, rebuilt.  End of story.  Interesting..."<br/><br/>"Okay.  I'll take this with me tomorrow, in case this is happening IN the castle.  You can read it later, but you have to respect it, and you never tell anyone you aren't sure you can trust to keep it a secret."  He says this gravely.  "Dantallion will know."  Dantallion nods.<br/><br/>"It's a secret club."  The ghost says.  "I was one of the original students who wrote it."<br/><br/>"Now, enough books.  I think I'm set, I'll go over the charms again in the morning, after a nap.  There's only so much we can do in one night, especially since I have no idea what's going to happen, and rest is important.  We got the bases covered pretty well, I figure."  Weyland puts the book in his satchel and sallies forth, back to the table, packing up all the lists they made.<br/><br/>"Okay, lets go make some potions."  He smiles at Max.
