The Librarian scurried around the library. He was drenched in sweat. His short, grubby human hands grabbed books, and put them in their right places. Damn those student wizards who don't put books in the right shelf. He wiped a hand on his forehead. This didn't help much, but it made him feel better. Dark circles were under his eyes. He had spent another sleepless night contemplating ways to revamp the library. Suddenly, a copy of "Lopenwulf's Guide to Levitation" zoomed in the air, fifty feet above the bookshelf it was supposed to be on. It often did that, usually at the least opportune moment.
He sighed. Grabbing a ladder, he ran towards the book. He placed the ladder against the bookshelves and quickly climbed up it. He grabbed the book, and gently placed back in its spot. He climbed down. The book flew up. Running to his desk, the Librarian grabbed a handful of chain. He turned to the ladder and climbed up. Wiping his brow again, he chained the book to its bookshelf. Smiling to himself, he climbed down. Something hit him in the back, something hard. He looked around, and saw a nervous looking student wizard standing in the doorway. His knees were shaking, his face was pale.
The Librarian raised a hand, and paused. He slowly turned to look at the hand. It was still grubby, but orange hair covered most of it. He put the hand on the top of his head. He had a full head of hair now. He worked his way downwards with his hands, noticing the lack of neck. The lack of neck was made up though, by the arm length. As for the legs, he shrugged the new smallness off. He quite liked this new body. He stretched a hand out to the bookcase and swiftly climbed up it. Yes, this new body was very good. He smiled, revealing an excess of lip, and swung down. The student had left and came back with the Archchancellor. The Librarian waved at them. Both had a look of stunned shock on their face.
"Oh damn." the Archchancellor said, putting a hand to his face.
"Ook," the Librarian replied shrugging. He grinned again.
"I'll change him back," the student wizard said, reaching for his wand. The Librarian put a hand on his, and bared his teeth.
"Ook."
"So you don't want to become a human, you want to stay a monkey?"
"Ook! Eeek, eeek!"
"Oh...you're an ape...sorry. And yes, I'll get some bananas."
