SPOILER!!: ProfessorQ

Eh, that'd get done eventually.

The boy's question had him leaning forward with a curious if not suspicious brow raised. He...wanted him...to teach him...to be an animagus?

Er..."This seems more like a question to be brought to Professor Bellaire, wouldn't you agree?" Maddox wasn't aware of the young Slytherin's prior interactions with the sour woman but he wasn't trying to step on toes ~~or ruin anyone's future~~. "As you know, animagus training falls under the discipline of Transfiguration." He continued carefully before allowing himself another bite.

Transfiguration, horrible subject that.

Maddox placed the plate of cookies and brownies on the small coffee table over by the couches before gesturing to the woman to have a seat. "Ah...yeah, they mentioned that." Her being a cat lover. "And I believe I got a front row seat myself." There really wasn't much else to think when a woman had you rubbing against her face while she spoke to you like you were 5.

The man still seemed somewhat distracted, even as he leaned against his desk. It could have been nothing but his nose was acting up even more than it should have. He was almost sure he could smell...well...cat. Odd, yes but it wasn't a scent that greeted him often in his office thanks to the charms put in place but...it wasn't possible. There was no catnip, there were no cats. Maddox found himself rubbing at his nose, wondering if maybe it was going out of sorts. "Really?" He had to try focusing on the conversation. "What do they have to do with Divination?" He had NO idea. The man continued rubbing at his nose for another moment before shrugging. "Don't worry about it. No hard feelings." In truth, he was already over it.

But then he heard a soft scuffle sound coming from her bag. Blue eyes darted to it, locking on as she began some high pitched squealing. Ow. Aha, so he HADN'T been going crazy, not on either account. There was a cat and there was catnip. Immediately Maddox flicked his wand and the cabinet by the cupboard swung open. "If you could be so kind as to store it in there." Sealed to keep all scents inside; he didn't fancy being distracted. "Thank you." Later, they could be enjoyed.

Gregoire figured this question would be asked. Which is why, he came prepared. With the apple of course as well.

"Yes, I knew it was considered Transfiguration, but I'm not entirely sure Professor Bellaire is an Animagus like yourself. I'd much prefer to learn from an Animagus than a Professor who isn't one." Which was entirely true...he'd rather learn from an Animagus. "Also even though she is the Transfiguration Professor, she..." Inserts clever lie "...Knows that Transfiguration isn't my strongest subject. She would think that I'm not ready to become an Animagus." Let that sink in a bit. "But obviously someone like yourself is more than capable of teaching me." The dirty blonde had some buttering up to do.

It also seemed like the Professor had lost something by the looks of his eyes and how the office was somewhat a bit messy. Not like stuff was thrown around in a rage, or swept away by a tornado. More of things didn't look like they belong where they were currently. This was the perfect opportunity to butter up the Professor more. With his best semi-concerned, semi-wondering face, Gregoire asked "Are you missing something Professor?"

There, this should help with the decision.
