First the incident in the kitchens, then the stairs, then someone vandalized my office and..." He sighed, running a hand through his hair. Honestly, he thought those two had it out for him! "...and I'm just a little on edge." Okay, that was a huge understatement!

He half-expected the girl to turn and run away, but he was relieved when she didn't. As he re-entered his office, the black and white cat who'd been perched atop the cat condo jumped down and hid under his desk with a loud hiss. Apparently he wasn't the only one on edge! "Please sit down," the Frenchman said, gesturing toward the leather chairs in front of his desk. He took his seat in the larger chair behind the desk and tilted a glass dish full of chocolates toward his student. "Here, help yourself." Hopefully she wouldn't think he'd poisoned the chocolates after the wand incident!

The more intelligent move would have been to pull her own wand out so she could properly defend herself, but this was just another instance proving that she did not have the innate duelist mentality. Not to mention her reflexes in general still left much to be desired. "It's...okay...professor," she stammered. "If it's any consolation...I do not believe that either of them would have knocked," she added with a nervous laugh. "Have you...considered Ashwagandha, professor? It's one of the most powerful herbs in Ayurvedic healing. Might help with...your present condition. I'm growing some in my dormroom at the moment." Among other things...which she was going to need to figure out what to do with before the end of term. Her Devil's Snare snapling couldn't come home with her, for example.

...........Paige was not so sure that sitting was such a good idea given his familiar's reaction and the seventh year was now thinking about the contents of her bag and whether or not she had anything to make the cat feel better. She didn't suppose that the string from one of her Honeyduke's wrappers would be appealing...

"Thank you," she replied politely as she accepted one, but did not yet pop it into her mouth and eyed it in her hand for a moment before just diving in to what she had come here to discuss. "Professor...it is my ambition that after graduation I become a healer...and I've received my acceptance from Wizarding University into their Healer Studies program so my foot is in the door. I'm...debating between two specific healing practices and one of them is spell damage...so...I was wondering if you could offer any guidance in the practice of...memory charms..."
