"What is going on here?"

Margaret looked at Leo with a mildly surprised expression on her face.

"What are you talking about?" She asked calmly.

"This!" Leo snapped, and then waved a familiar thick blue book in front of her face and dropped it on her desk.

"What about it?"

"Why is this book in my office AGAIN for the fifth time this week?"

"It's Monday," Margaret pointed out, "The week just started."

"I know." Leo responded darkly.

"I didn't put it in your office Leo, you just had a meeting with Josh, ask him." She advised and returned to her computer.

Leo grumbled darkly, gave her a look, then left.

"Wait, Leo!" she called out.

"What."

"Did you find a present on your desk this morning?"

"I didn't look."

"Ok." She said, then muttered as her boss made his way to yell at Josh, "He shouldn't start with the fifth one, I should tell Donna to tell Josh and who-ever else that I've got the situation under control."

"Hey Sam."

"Hey Margaret. Did I leave a book in Leo's office?"

"Was it thick?"

"Yes…"

"Blue?"

"Yeah."

"A boy on the cover with a lighting shaped scar?"

"Yes! May I have it back?" 

"Does it have Harry Potter in the title?"

"Yes." Sam looked at his hands and avoided her glance.

"Here you go Sam," she said finally, and handed him one of the blue books from the top of a pile underneath her desk.

He grinned and grabbed the book, then checked the back.

"This isn't mine," he told her, "mine has a blue sticker on the back. I think this one is Josh's…"

"Here then, is this one yours?" She sighed and picked up a different book.

"No, this one is in Latin."

"This one?" She handed him yet another copy.

"Yes! Thanks Margaret."

"Leo's kind of pissed, so be careful about leaving the books in his office now. Do you know what's going on with that anyway?"

Sam cringed. "I think everyone's trying to get him to read the 5th book in Latin."

"What?"

"The president is offering a reward to whoever can read the 5th book in Latin. And we've been placing bets on who will read it, and a lot of people say Leo's the only one who could do it, besides the president."

"How will leaving copies of the fifth book in his office tempt Leo to read it in Latin? He hasn't even read the first!"

 "Well…" Sam looked surprised, "I think everyone assumed he already had. That changes things. Anyway, I didn't leave mine on purpose."

"Well, I just gave him the first book, if we're lucky he'll read it."

"Great!" Sam said enthusiastically. "I'm betting on him too. What about you, are you in?"

"Well… It's going to be hard to make him read the books, it's going to be harder to get him to read the books than it was Toby… but…alright, 20 dollars on Leo."

"Ok." Sam took out a little notebook and wrote something down. "Bye Margaret."

"Wait, Sam, what do you think about the book so far?"

"Not bad. I like Tonks. Tonks is hot."

"Oh god."
