Alessia came through the vanishing cabinet, and wrote another note, went out of her office, waved her wand and affixed the note to the door.



She then re-entered the office, locking both the door and the vanishing cabinet. She transfigured her fluffy into a cot... nothing too fancy, threw some protection runes around it and waited for the ministry official to arrive to witness her taking her potion... and to wait all night outside her door.

She closed her eyes and thought of Pepe... she always thought of him on full moon night... She remembered her first times. It was frightening. But she'd been nine, and he was an adult AND an auror... He was still an auror, wasn't he? Where was that ministry official, she needed to take her potion soon.

Kyle Zander Baise Felt like he had a Connection
with ancient runes...
So with asking questions and alot of help here he was...
The door was open...
He knocked on the Wall...
and he said worried and scared,"Proffesor..
are you here?"

Rafe was told to immediately "seek council" from Professor Lupa by his mother. He was clutching a note that was strictly for her eyes alone, and he had a pretty good feeling what it was about.

This was very nerve-racking to meet her. He was glad though she was able to return to Hogwarts, he finally had someone to talk to that sort of knew what he was going through.

Hmm...someone else is here....

Hopefully he would able to talk to her alone.

Syd walked down the hall with the potion in his hand, shoes creating a little, satisfying echo as he tread across the tile. He looked around at the familiar sights as he wandered, looking at the dark classrooms that were waiting for the school year to start.

He reached the office door and saw a small line outside. Hm. This was certainly not what he had expected. Kids trying to talk to a teacher so early? He came up behind them and peered over their shoulders.

"Ah, you two here to see Professor Lupa?" he asked, his Southern accent probably foreign to them.

Alessia opened the door and pointed to the sign on the wall. "Sweeties, you need to come back when things are not so hectic... "

"Mr. Wordsmith, please... do come in." She said to the ministry worker. "I hope your wife didn't have to do this trip with you..." She said smiling at the man. "Let's get this over with please..."

Gabby knocked on the door and waited for the proffesor to allow her entry. She loved the look of Charms, and couldn't wait to start.

James knocked on the door hoping to find out about the sebject and what they would be learning this year, his inner ravenclaw compeled him to get a head start on all subjects no just this one, although from what he had read he new this would be a amazing subject

"Honey... please, return to your common room, I'll be fine in a few days, and I promise to come find you, but now..." she looked at the ministry official, "I have to conduct some ministry business." Less said and closed the door, with Mr. Wordsmith inside.

"I'll take the potion, in your presence, but please I will require you to stay outside while I... change."

"Actually professor it has to do with a bit with..." Rafe lowered his sunglasses to show his somewhat still beaded eyes, clutching the note in his hand. "But, I understand, I woud be more than happy to return at a time more convenient for you. I mean I understand what your..." Rafe's voice seemed to trail away, he wasn't sure it he sounded like a prude or just rather curious. He was propbably more curious more than anything and was trying to get a glimpse at what her office looked like. Rafe coughed, "I suppose later then."

Syd waited for the kids to depart before walking into the room. He stood in front of the woman's desk and held the bottle in his hand, facing away from her. This wasn't awkward at all.

"Alright, Professor. Just a quick moment and we'll be done here."

"Don't you need to witness me drinking it?" she said holding it to her lips.

"Of course," he said as she took the potion from him. "Hence why I'm still here. Tis my job after all, ain't it?"

"Then why face away?" she asked moving in front of him. She drank the potion and handed him the empty phial. "If you would now... step outside?"

He turned to face her as she drank, watching as the vial was drained. Hands in his pockets he was satisfied with the results and strolled toward the door as he was told. He took the potion vial from her and slipped it into his pocket and smiled.

"Well this has been pleasant enough. See you later Professor," he said to her.

"Yes... this part is pleasant." She said sitting down on the cot. "I'll see you in the morning." She said giving him a nod.

"Right. Now you sleep well, Professor," he said, walking out.

He shut the door behind him and walked back down the hall, whistling softly. It was a serious matter, yes, but he had to make it lighter somehow. Things tended to just get too dark sometimes.

There were no screams or no sound for that matter coming from her office, but the moon was full and one knew she was now a wolf and curling up on the cot, she fell asleep.

-----------

On the last morning she woke up, covered her head and face with a scarf (she looked horrid after the full moon) and opened the door. "Mr. Wordsmith? Thank you for staying here... If this is all, I suppose I will see you next month?" She smiled at him from under the scarf.

Pepe was much too chipper. You just couldn't beat (or knaw) that carefree spirit from some people and Reynard Bontecou was one such person. Sure, he looked a bit ill, but his attitude and smile did a lot to make up for that. He was actually carrying a large bouquet of roses in his hand (red, de-thorned and accented with tiny white daisies) and whistling, glasses slightly askew and robes in their usual, slightly unkempt, state. "Good morning, Professor," he grinned.

"Headmaster..." She said fumbling to cover up her face with the scarf, and dropping it by doing so. Brown hair fell straight on her shoulders. And she looked very worn from the change. She was just about to turn him away, when she noticed the flowers.

Red roses... her favorite.

"Are those... for me?" She asked after picking up the scarf and moving a strand of hair behing her ear.

"Yep," Pepe smiled. The flowers had been a great idea and held them out to her. "I thought maybe they'd get you to stop long enough that I could say hello without getting the brush off... again..."

"Oh..." she took them looking down. "I don't mean to... brush you off." She said looking over to Mr. Wordsmith... this was a tad embarrassing. Suck it up Less... she thought to herself. "Did... did you want to come inside?" She asked him quietly.

"Yes, please. If you don't mind," he said. "It could be for official business, if you want." Maybe that would be the trick to getting in, but he wasn't a Slytherin and wasn't going to lie about why he was there and it really had nothing to do with official business.

...

Well, it obviously wasn't official business...

"I invited you... if I didn't want you to come in, I wouldn't have done so." She said... which wasn't exactly true... it's not that she didn't want him in her office, it's that she just felt so horrible about... infecting him. And then there was that other messy thing... feelings... messy messy.

This was really awkward. Weird. It had been a long time since Pepe had been uncomfortable around women. Oh well. He gave a shrug and stepped into the office, then made himself at home on the ottoman thing.
