A few days later
Walking into the library I freeze seeing Madame Pince step in front of me with a frantic look while checking books.
"Madame Pince is everything okay?" I ask.
"Pages ripped need to check them all" she mutters grabbing a new one.
Reaching out I gently pull her away while sitting the book down "come on I'll help you check them but I have a gift for you" I say softly.
After a bit of a struggle I get her sat down and put the package in front of her "I don't have time for this" she mutters going to get up.
Putting my hands on her shoulder I shake my head "Madame Pince, please just open it then I promise we can check your books and repair them".
She huffs grabbing it and yanking it open before freezing up, after a moment she lifts the book looking inside before hugging it to her chest "I managed to track it down and get it back, I decided you needed an updated edition so I got that as well" I say seeing her grab the second.
Stepping back I move to check the books, smirking I lift my wand pulling everything off to stack up before floating around me allowing me to check each page as they turn.
Once checked they return to their proper shelf before I start again, I chuckle seeing Madame Pince looks nervous at my work "this spell was created by Helena herself for her mother, Rowena would spend days checking the books when one was found damaged so Helena made this to help speed things along" I say smiling slightly.
Finishing another shelf I motion her over "I think you're someone who could appreciate this spell I'll teach you if you want" I offer.
Sometime later
Seeing Madame Pince move three books to a shelf I smile seeing her proud smile "keep working at it and eventually you can complete an entire row" I say.
She nods starting some more as I watch her books at the counter, biting my lip I watch her she's someone who would find mother's spells for books useful and even enjoy them but after sharing it with McGonagall, seeing her horde it and only share it in favoritism I'm doubtful any humans are worthy of learning something that belonged to my family ever again.
"Mother would disagree, knowledge is meant to be shared"
Frowning I look at Helena as she watches Madame Pince smiling "I'd almost believe she was mother when I made that spell" she says floating by me.
"They horde knowledge, mother would never agree with that how could I risk it when she could possibly do the same it's an insult to mothers beliefs" I whisper.
"You are doing the same keeping our families knowledge locked in your mind and in the castle rarely do you share it with anyone"
"I know but after McGonagall I find I doubt anyone's worth in learning founders secrets"
"Perhaps you see the possibility in her, you taught her this spell why not more and make sure she understands that this knowledge is meant to be shared with those who would appreciate it"
Nodding I sigh "fine but when another human tries to horde this knowledge you will never push for me to share again" I say.
