| | |  Professor Mao-Macdougal's Office
The back of the door you open looks scarred, as if someone has been shooting spells at it. Indeed, now that you look closer, the scratches actually spell out something. Close the Door.
How bizzare...?!
The words suddenly flame a bright liquid yellow, and the door yanks itself out of your frozen grasp and slams itself shut. The women sitting at the desk barely looks up at the bang. She appears to be writing something slowly, and deliberately, and you wait while the quiet, but somehow menacing scritch-scritch of the quill goes on.
Meanwhile, you take the oppurtunity to look around the room. There are a few pictures lying around the place, soft, swirling, bright splashes of color that could mean anything - a tree, a flower, a cloud, but mostly the wall is plastered with bookshelves, and they in turn, are stuffed with books. A few of them look like they are trying to bite, but can only squirm instead, fastened with black leather bands. Most are more docile, and rather decorative, with smooth spines and delicately drawn words on the covers, in all shades of dark colors.
On top of the bookshelves are perched thin, golden shining things, some bear resemblance to astrolabes, others look a little like windchimes. A few hang from the ceiling, and one particular one is hung over with delicate beads - of crystal or plastic, you can't quite tell. Between them, they catch the light of the room and toss it, glint, glitter, glimmer, glisten, gleam, about, creating provocative shadows and sudden bursts of scintillating light.
But professor doesn't look like the sort of woman who would choose things like these. You look back at her, still writing. She's a lounging sort of creature, with very thick, very black hair that has been pulled back into a bun, though thick waves of it fall forward over her ears. Her skin has a yellow tint, or that might be the lighting. The teak desk she is writing on bears a nameplate. The words shine the same way the scratches on the door did. Prof. Andi Mao-Macdougal Zizhen
She has long sweeping eyelashes, perhaps overmascara-ed, that brush her cheeks. When she finally pushes away the paper, and holds the quill between two of her fingers, like she's smoking (you suspect that she was just drawing lines on parchment, to prolong your discomfort) the quick look Professor Mao-Macdougal gives you is like ash falling off a cigarette.
She is definitely Chinese - or half Chinese, with eyes that are tilted upwards. She looks tall, but that's only because she holds herself tall and somehow manages to look down her nose on you when you're a head taller. Over the summer, Professor Mao-Macdougal has successfully kicked the smoking habit, though it has not noticeably sweetened her temper.
She leans forward on the table, her eyebrows barely going up in a minimal show of interest. "Yes?" Professor Mao-Macdougal says, quietly. "May I... help you?"
And there is something in her tone that threatens: this had better be good or nothing in the world is going to help you, except maybe those nice trained Healers at St. Mungo's.  | |

Jen shot Bucky a dirty look for sending her into the dragon's lair first. The more she thought about it the more accurate she realized that analogy was. Her irritation didn't last long however as Bucky explained their reason for being here.
"Yes ma'am. The turtle just vanished," she said with a small nod. Even though that bit of information was starting to seem rather redundant, Jen still felt badly. Although the thought of AMMZ hexing the responsible party did make her feel slightly better.

"I assure you that I'll look into it," said Andi curtly, pausing in her doorway. "In the meantime, I have to get to the staff room meeting - hopefully more productive than the last one," she muttered sarcastically to herself. "Good day to you, Ms. Hale, Ms. Wilson, Ms. Warbeck."
The sound of the heels of her boots hitting the stone floor as she strode away sounded like bullets slowly, and methodically fired.

Bucky cowered underneath Jen's momentary glare and shrugged her shoulders in a lame apology. AMMZ, whether Bucky would like to admit it or not, had made her feel better. The fact that she seemed to show genuine sympathy freaked her out a bit but she was glad all the same. Whoever had been causing the trouble was going to get hexed into oblivion.
"Let's go get the other Professors then," she said stepping out of the office, knowing that Jen wasn't going to be too far behind.

"KNOCK-KNOCK" Tasha wailed on the door hard enough to bruse a knuckel. She still had to get used to the big heavy doors here at Hogwarts. Tasha eased the door open enough to stick her head through while the rest of her body was still cowering outside the door in case she had to duck in a hurry. "Professor, I was curious about my homework assignment. I didn't know if you had given grades or not. No hurry of course, I just didn't want to miss a grade." Tasha stood patiantly and waited for a response, even if she had to dodge an object in response.

Andi's hands twitched a little on the paperweight as if she really was preventing herself from throwing something. "No, I haven't given grades," she said curtly. "And don't worry, so long as you've been working hard and keeping your nose to the grindstone yadda yadda, all that jazz." She regarded the paperweight sourly. "Though I must say, it's a pleasant surprised to see someone who doesn't seem intent on chasing boys all the blessed time. Anything else?"

"By the way... Thanks for not throwing that." Tasha flashed a quick wink toward the paper weight. "My reflexes aren't that great today." Tasha quickly jerked her head out of the room and shut the door before she pushed her luck with her run away mouth.

Andi looked up at the knock on her door. She had been about to prepare a pot of Chinese tea, and the pause allowed the hot metal to burn against her hand. She set down the small kettle with a curse, holding the reddened finger against her mouth to sooth it down. "Come in," she snapped.

Tabby noticed that the door of the office was slightly open and that a student had just gone in. He waddled as quickly as possible, concidering that he had a baby owl clinging onto each of his feet for dear life, to the door which he pushed open a bit more with his right shoulder. "Look Professor!" He said like a proud father. "Look at Anya's chicks!"

Gondor flew in right behind Tabby and landed on the professors desk. He eyed the woman warily as he seemed to remember Rave muttering something about her being insane. He looked at Tabby and to his children sitting on his head and feet, he didnt want them left with this woman. | |

Andi looked past Thump to the younger boy. Her eyes widened at the sight of the owlets. Or was that eglets? No, that was those little plastic things at the end of shoe-laces. "Good heavens," she said, hurrying over to open the door properly. "How on earth did you get-- no. Nevermind. I don't think I want to know."

The biggest of the three chicks, which was sitting on Tabby's head at the time, noticed his daddy and fell flew over to the table, only just making it and landing on the very edge. Some small hoots could be heard from Tabby's shoes as the owl was in mid flight, cheering on their sibling. "They're Anya's and Gondor's!" Tabby exclaimed excitedly. "We havn't given them names yet and we can't keep all of them so I wondered..." Tabby stopped short as he felt something drip down his forhead. He put his hand up to wipe it away and saw that it was off white and smelly. "Ewwwwww! Don't do that!" he said to the owl that had just flown away. "I'm not your nest!"

Upon reaching the edge he didnt have enough time to stop and slid right of the edge, barley catching himself before he hit the floor. Landing on the table again he walked over to stand next to the little owl and he puffed up proudly and nuzzled the tiny owls neck.

Noticing the new student Thump resigned for a second wearily. It takes enough confidence just to come here and then they barge in like this, how rude he thought angrily but stood and listened to the students story.

She took a tissue paper and picked it up lightly, feeling it's feathers and light bones under her hand. The owlet (not eglet) watched her solemnly. The other, larger owl watched her warily, but the little one didn't seem to mind. "Quite adorable," she said, turning to Tabby. "Do a cleaning charm on your hair. It's good practice at any rate. What are you going to do with all of them?"

He used the only cleaning spell he knew, Scourgify, which made the mess dissappear immediately. Unfortunantly his head now looked like he was in the middle of washing it. "We can't keep them," He replied, ignoring his super squeeky clean hair (plus bubbles) "So we want to give them to people who will look after them." Anya watched AMMZ just as much as Gondor but she was more concerned about the woman not dropping her baby than what the woman was like herself. She lept off of Tabby's shoulder, landed gracefully next to Gondor and snuggled upto him.

"Am I on that list?" asked Andi, raising her eyebrows. She hoped she was. The owl studied her, and she studied it back, noting the fluffy little feathers, the bright, a little savage cold eyes. The weest widdle beak, oh oosa goo' boy den?
Delicately, she ran one finger gently over the feathery head, noting the feel of the skull underneath. The owl was yin-and-yang, strong and vulnerable at the same time. Cute too.

Tabby's face split into a massive grin as the professor seemed to catch on. "I think he likes you." he told her as he heard little noises coming from his head. "Ummm, Professor. Why's my hair popping?"

"Bubbles," said Andi witheringly, clearing the mess away with a wave of her hand, leaving Tabby's hair shining wet. "Well, thank you very much, Tabby. Do you want payment, or anything? If you ask me to raise your grade, I will, of course, say no."

Just as he was about tp panic, Anya landed next to him. He hooted contently as she snuggled up next to him and he nuzzled her head with his. Gondor wished Rave was here, she'd never let this woman have one of his babies, she was almost insane as Rave's sister Lua, and that was saying something. | |

Niky knocked on the professor's door before entering. There was an owl there, which seemed quite pretty in her opnion. She smiled at the professor behind the desk. "Good afternoon Professor Macdougal" she greeted politely. "I was wondering if you needed any help in anything. I wish to get Hufflepuff a few more points" she stated, and smiled at the teacher waiting to see what she could do for her.

Gondor wished Rave was here, she'd never let this woman have one of his babies, she was almost insane as Rave's sister Lua, and that was saying something. Anya watched sadly as the first of her babies was being given away. Unlike Gondor, she wasn't worried about the woman. She trusted Tabby to find them good homes. It didn't make it any easier though. She let out a slow, low hoot which sounded like she was crying and tried to snuggle into Gondor even more.

"Try doing some homework and less flirting about," snapped the Professor, with reflex venom. The student didn't really register with her, not while she was contemplating the little owlet in her hand. Quote: "No I don't want anything," Tabby replied quickly, brushing the damp hair off of his face. "There is something actually," he said a few seconds later. "I want him to be looked after and you need to give him a name." "Well, obviously I'll look after him," said Andi curtly, studying the owl who regarded her with the same steady, not exactly hostile look as the woman herself. "Hm. He looks like a Bartimaeus to me."

Niky bit her lip to keep from answering back. She turned on her heels and stepped out of the office. She always did her homework and she wasn't the type to go around flirting with any guy; not even Hyde. She sighed frustrated, she knew she shouldn't have gone to that office.
