Library Miscreants is the fifth episode of the first season of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It aired on November 26, 2019.

## Synopsis

Everyone meets up for dinner in the Great Hall. Blaine is the first to arrive. He had gone to class reluctantly, but also knew that Defense against the Dark Arts would be a class where he might learn something that would help with their investigation of the strange encounter they had with Raye. Blaine is eager to meet up with the rest of them, hoping that they could be his new friends. He sits at the same table and waits for them to show up, making sure he doesn’t miss them. Blaine picks out salty, pickled, and strong tasting food and also grabs some capers and fish from the pet food area. Rosie arrives next. She sits next to Blaine and immediately starts stuffing her pockets with mash. She strikes up a conversation with Blaine. He tells her about the bean sandwich. Olive and Clem arrive next. They sit with Rosie and Blaine. Olive grabs two jacket potatoes and drowns them in beans. Clem is craving pancakes and finds some and covers them with maple syrup. Masie arrives. They all tell Rosie about Raye. Clem asks them if they remember if Professor Pinescrew seemed surprised or not. They think he looked worried and angry. Masie worries about Alex. Rosie asks what’s wrong with Alex. Olive says that as soon as the professor came, Alex shut down. Rosie thinks they should find the student. Olive thinks they should investigate the area to see if it was enchanted. Blaine suggests asking the Fat Friar to go through the wall to see if there’s something there. Rosie tries to give Blaine pocket mash for having such a good idea, but Blaine declines. Masie wonders if the ghost would help. Rosie suggests bribing the ghost, e.g., help the ghost get a date. Rosie and Clem joke about being ghost match-makers and starting a TV show. Masie asks what a TV show is. Clem tries to show her YouTube, but the connection is so horrible, so it doesn’t load. Clem tries shaking her phone, blowing on it, and holding it high up in the air, but gets nothing. Rosie suggests pretending to be a ghost. Blaine says he wants to be a ghost - not dead, but a ghost so he can walk through walls. Clem jokes about making Blaine a ghost. They decide to investigate the area where they found Raye. Rosie teaches Masie how to make a breakfast taco to bring as food on the go. Blaine and Rosie leave to find the Fat Friar. Blaine and Masie notice that Rosie is leaking mashed potatoes. Masie picks up some mash and gives it to Rosie. She gives Rosie her hair clip as well, to close up the hole in her pocket. Masie joins Rosie and Blaine to look for the Fat Friar. Olive and Clem go to investigate the area where they found Raye. Olive tries Aparecium, but the spell backfires. Meanwhile, the Fat Friar is roaming the Great Hall, trying to decide what food to eat. Rosie skips up to the Fat Friar and offers him a snack to woo him. The Fat Friar chooses the pocket mash. Rosie asks the Fat Friar if he saw anything strange in the halls earlier, like a Slytherin student. The Fat Friar did notice that something was happening earlier, but doesn’t know much. Rosie asks if the Fat Friar could check the wall that the student was banging against earlier. The Fat Friar agrees if he could have more of Rosie’s breakfast tacos. Rosie tells Masie that her dad is a chef. Olive and Clem see the Fat Friar float over and go through the wall. The Fat Friar asks Clem and Olive if they’ve seen any strange Slytherins lately. They say yes. He says that there’s nothing in the wall. Clem asks if he got any weird vibes. He asks what a vibe is. Clem tries to explain it. The Fat Friar still finds nothing. They thank him, and he leaves. The Fat Friar reports back to Rosie, Blaine, and Masie. Rosie asks if the Fat Friar could figure out the name of the Slytherin student. He says he could ask the Bloody Baron. Masie says that the student’s name is Raye Cappernay and that she’s a 4th year. Olive and Clem return to Rosie, Masie, and Blaine and say they didn’t find anything. They decide to go to the hospital wing to see if Raye is still there. Olive suggests that since she’s injured, she could check herself into the hospital wing, and they could visit her, and while they’re visiting, they could investigate. Olive has a magical bruise on her neck from the backfiring of a spell. Rosie grabs Olive’s arm and they all go to the hospital wing. When they arrive at the hospital wing, they see that Professor Pinescrew is having a private conversation with Madam Pomfrey. Raye Cappernay is in one of the beds, and it looks like she’s been tied down. Rosie tries to eavesdrop on Professor Pinescrew and Madam Pomfrey’s conversation by sneaking closer to them. Rosie hears something about Professor Flitwick and Professor Griffis, the Potions teacher - that Professor Flitwick hasn’t done a full look into things yet and that Professor Griffis is trying to determine if it’s any sort of foul potion or something. There’s been no luck so far among the professors. Madam Pomfrey had to tie her up because Raye was trying to walk out of the hospital wing. Headmistress McGonagall has reached out to other witches and wizards in hopes that they might be able to figure it out, but so far it’s a mystery. They’ve put out an owl to Raye’s parents. Professor Pinescrew starts to walk toward the exit, where Olive and Masie are. Blaine had peeled off and waited in the waiting room, being too nervous to break any of the rules. Clem had also waited behind. Professor Pinescrew, Masie, and Olive have a brief conversation before Masie leads Olive to Madam Pomfrey to get her wound treated. Madam Pomfrey correctly identifies Olive’s bruise as a misfired Aguamenti spell. Masie helps Olive onto the hospital bed closest to Raye. Olive remembers reading about some magics that aren’t a direct casting of a spell or potions, like enchantments, items that can be enchanted to do different things. This seems to be what is going on with Raye; it’s probably an effect of a magical item. Olive recognizes that some kind of enchantment has taken control of Raye, as if she’s been charmed. Olive relays this information to Rosie, Masie, and Clem, who has snuck back into the room. Rosie relays the information she overheard. Masie offers to investigate. Olive warns her not to touch anything because then Masie could also get enchanted. Madam Pomfrey returns with water and reminds them that her friends can only visit for a short time. Meanwhile, Masie looks at Raye and notices that Raye is still trying to walk, her face expressionless. Masie can sense some remaining magic; her skin tingles a bit and the hair on her arms and the back of her neck stands up. Masie is familiar with enchanted items from the little enchanted trinkets her mum has, e.g., enchanted to make one more compliant. Masie whispers comforting words to Raye. Masie notices something shiny and thin (hair-like) stuck in Raye’s clothes. Masie tries to cast Wingardium Leviosa on it, but fails to cast it correctly, and she falls and smacks her knees on the stone floor. Madam Pomfrey helps Masie to a hospital bed on the opposite side of Olive. Masie stuffs her wand up her sleeve to hide it. While Madam Pomfrey tends to Masie’s wound, Masie waves wildly to the other three and points to her lapel, where she saw the shiny thing on Raye. Meanwhile, Blaine is waiting outside, reading his Defense against the Dark Arts textbook. Meanwhile, back in the room, Clem tries to sneak over to look at Raye but stubs her toe on the edge of the bed, making it creak across the floor. Madam Pomfrey says that it’s time for visitors to leave. Rosie tries to hide by sliding under the bed, but she accidentally moves it and Madam Pomfrey notices. Madam Pomfrey escorts Rosie and Clem out. Masie tells Olive about the shiny object she saw on Raye. Olive wonders if they could research the object in the library. Masie gives Olive a breakfast taco, but Olive is allergic to eggs. Masie tries to take the eggs out of the breakfast taco, but Olive still can’t eat it.

Rosie and Clem meet back up with Blaine outside of the hospital wing. They catch Blaine up on what happened inside the hospital wing. Rosie suggests going to the library to do some research. Clem tries to use Google on her phone to do some research, but it’s horribly slow. Rosie pulls out a piece of mash-covered parchment paper and writes a note to Madam Pomfrey to tell Masie and Olive that they’re in the library. She puts it on the bench and leaves a crystal on top of it so it doesn’t blow away. Rosie, Clem, and Blaine then go to the library. Blaine runs over to the mystery section and pulls some mystery stories. Rosie notices the head librarian, Madam Pince, who looks like she’s keeping an eye on them with anticipation, as if she’s expecting them to do something. Rosie warns Clem and Blaine about Madam Pince. Rosie asks Blaine which books he got. Blaine got a book about a boy wizard who found a lost dog for his friend and another book about a murder. Rosie looks at Blaine and then whispers to Clem, “He’s cute.” Rosie then asks Blaine to look for books that are more related to Raye’s condition. Rosie offers Blaine some pocket mash, but he declines. Clem asks Rosie if she has any anchovies. She denies it, but she definitely has some in her pockets. She pulls out an anchovy and puts it on a book for Blaine. Blaine quickly eats it and tells her not to put it on the book. Clem walks away to leave the two of them alone. Clem notices a second year Gryffindor student walking in the same way Raye was walking. He looks like he’s looking around and muttering something. Clem walks up to the student and notices that he’s under the same enchantment as Raye. Clem also thinks she sees something that looked like it moved far away, as if something was keeping an eye out. It looks suspicious. Clem goes up to the student and unknowingly starts to fall under the influence of a mysterious figure. Clem hears the student muttering about the history of Hogwarts and he looks like he’s moving toward Madam Pince. Clem stands in front of him and tries to push him out of the way, but he manages to move past her and continues toward Madam Pince. Rosie rushes to help Clem, who tells her that he’s acting just like Raye. Rosie calls out to Madam Pince to warn her, but Madam Pince doesn’t believe her and takes 5 house points from Hufflepuff. Rosie tries to grab the student, who is still muttering about the history of Hogwarts. Madam Pince directs him to the book, *Hogwarts: A History*. The student turns around and heads toward that direction. Rosie rushes to pull out the book and shows it to the student. He takes the book and starts walking away. Clem and Rosie follow him. Madam Pince calls after him, calling him “Mr. Clatteringshaw” and saying that he can’t take any books out of the library. Rosie slams some mashed potatoes on Madam Pince’s desk, intending it to be an apology, but it greatly offends Madam Pince. Rosie runs out of the library, dragging Blaine with her. Madam Pince recognizes Blaine. Clem tries to convince Madam Pince that it’s not Blaine Buttersworth, but Rain Ruttersworth, but Madam Pince doesn’t buy it and takes 5 points from Gryffindor. Blaine returns to apologize. Clem follows Blaine. Rosie follows the student, Sebastian Clatteringshaw, who ducks toward the corner of the library. He stops near the window. Rosie sees something outside the window. Rosie attempts to cast Reducio on the window to make it smaller, but fails and hits herself. Rosie sees something beyond the window move quickly away from the window. Rosie calls out to Clem. Clem runs over. Sebastian drops the book and just stands there. Rosie unknowingly starts to fall under the influence of a mysterious figure. Clem arrives and Rosie tells her what she saw. Clem runs to the window to try to see anything, but she sees nothing. Clem turns around and looks at Sebastian. Rosie picks up the book and asks Blaine to check it out for her in exchange for an anchovy. Blaine agrees if she promises him that she won’t bring food in the library anymore. Rosie promises to leave her cloak outside of the library. Rosie makes a Huffle promise to Blaine. Blaine takes the book to Madam Pince and asks to check it out, but she says that books cannot be checked out of the library, so Blaine immediately returns to Rosie and tells her that books can’t be checked out. Rosie asks Blaine to do more research in the library. Rosie suggests that Clem gets Professor Pinescrew, she goes to Madam Pomfrey, and Blaine stays to research and keep an eye on Sebastian. Rosie grabs Clem’s hand, and they run out.

Back in the hospital wing, Madam Pomfrey has cleared up Olive’s allergy and put salve on her bruise. She also has Masie’s leg wrapped up. Olive asks if Masie has any games they can play to pass the time. Masie suggests a game of two truths and a lie. Olive agrees and asks Masie to go first. Masie says 1) she was worried about Quidditch because her dad works at the ministry and her friends are all in different houses, and she was worried that they would be disappointed; 2) her house is made out of a lot of glass because her mum says that daylight can help your mind, and there are plants. Olive says her house also has plants. Masie says 3) she has a bright blue quill that her mum gave her that’s rare that she brought with her to Hogwarts. Olive guesses that the first one’s a lie because she thinks Masie is confident. Masie says that she does worry a lot, and that the lie was the quill because it’s pink and not blue. Olive says that Masie is one of the coolest people she’s ever met. Olive says she was nervous to come to Hogwarts too because she moved a lot and never got to make friends because her parents had her work with them, so her friends were from reading books and taking care of the animals. Olive says she’s been scared that she’s not going to have any friends at Hogwarts, but Masie showed her that she didn’t have to be worried because Masie forgave her for not being good at making friends and has been nice to her. Masie tells Olive that it will be okay and asks her to tell her about her animals. Olive tells her that her family always lives in the countryside with a lot of open space because her mum is passionate about rescuing magical creatures that have been hurt or mistreated. Olive says her mum would disappear for months at a time and then show up with some new creature, and they would take care of it. Masie says her mum loves animals too, but she didn’t always bring them home. Masie says her mum works at the Ministry in the Department for Regulation of Control of Magical Creatures, and she fought against the mistreatment and misclassification of magical creatures, but after a while, she couldn’t do it anymore. Olive asks if she’s okay. Masie says she got a bit sick. Clem barges into the hospital wing, yelling about the student they saw in the library. Madam Pomfrey rushes out with Clem to the library.

Later, Sebastian has been brought to the hospital wing. Professor Pinescrew, Headmistress McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, and Professor Griffis are all in the hospital wing conversing. Olive and Masie are still in the hospital wing, and Rosie, Clem, and Blaine had helped bring Sebastian to the hospital wing. Headmistress McGonagall thanks Rosie, Clem, and Blaine and excuses them. She rewards 10 points to Hufflepuff and 5 points to Gryffindor. Clem and Rosie tell Headmistress McGonagall everything they saw in the library.

Later, at night, while everyone is sleeping, Olive wakes up and gets out of bed. She starts to hear a music box, and someone whispers to her, “Come to the window.”
