It was a sudden, but not unwelcome change. He'd been interested in the position for a few years now, but the librarian had shown no sign of retiring. However, with the current influx of returning dead people, her mind had changed. Ben couldn't really blame her. The situation wasn't ideal, but he wasn't about to turn down the opportunity, either.

He'd always loved books. Usually he loved books that weren't at all related to school work which he imagined was one of the main reasons he'd been in Hufflepuff and not Ravenclaw, but as he matured he began to warm up to academic books as well. His job at the publishing house had been nice, but not exactly what he wanted. Part of him also thought if he was there at the school to help keep watch on the kids it might make up for some of the things that had happened to him during the war.

For now, though, he was just checking out the library. He wasn't moving in yet as he had to give notice to Obscurus Books, but he wanted to have a look at his room as well. His first stop was the Headmaster's office, and after a brief meeting he was on his way to the library, trying to recall the last time he'd been at Hogwarts. It had been way too long, but he still remembered the way.

When he arrived in the library, a slow smile curved his lips and any doubts he'd been having about the position melted away. This felt right and contently, he began to set about putting the finishing touches on having the library ready for the start of term.
