-was there a witness to this-

*sits up with a start -- her head had fallen forward on a large stack of books*

Ugh... Kate, I'm afraid there'll be a crick in your neck when we go back to normal. My first chance to sleep in six hundred years, and I spend it at a library desk! There's no justice in the world.

*wearily pulls another volume over, skims the index and table of contents... maaay or may not be nodding off again*


*some time later, sits up again sharply, then stands up; Kate's slender fingers tremble as they riffle through pages of notes -- and then Bob roars right above his open journal, unconcerned about the rest of the castle hearing him*


Castiel! Meet me in the Restricted Section, NOW!


[[If you're in Hogwarts, feel free to have happened upon Kate!Bob asleep at the desk. XD The rest of the action takes place in the evening, near (though they don't know it yet) the end of the body-switch event.]]

*yes... focus. focus is good. luckily it's almost over; there's not much more Bob can do without the spell fouling itself and probably destroying the whole room.*

*the unwinding isn't as difficult -- which is fortunate. as it is, when the last of the runes are consumed from around the pentagram, Bob staggers back against the table, gasping in breaths Kate's mortal body does need, trying to focus on whether the spell did what it was supposed to do or was the worst idea ever*

[When it's done Castiel actually does let out a bark of pain and basically falls to his knees. Ghostly pain, not used to this. Had it happen before but-- not used to this. It feels like an icefire is spreading from his gullet to ever nerve ending he once had-- It Castiel could pass out, he'd totally be unconscious.]

*hm. all within predicted parameters. can't be fun, though.*

*also crouches down; it's easier to breathe closer to the floor... of course, the magic did something to the air and it'll take a moment for it to clear*

*watches the ghost's agony -- can't do anything until it's over; it's Bob's turn to be silent and wait*

[It takes only a minute for Castiel to recover, though it feels so much longer, and then he's standing again, passive and chilly.]

Thank you.

[And he's gone. SORRY BOB.]

*HNNNNNNNGH. should have kept that last rune there so the pentagram would have held him for questioning >P*

*sits back in the empty room, voice shaky and muffled -- confounded feeble female body*

..don't mention it.
