Isa had been thinking a lot about Derf lately. He was cute not only in a physical kind of way, but he was so kind and everything he did was just adorable! Derf loved creatures even more than Isa did, and she just loved that about him. Now she just needed to show him that plants weren't scary. She just had to love him. Oh, look at that, she had reached Professor Myers' office. Every visit with Professor Myers was a good one. It was always fun to see what his office was like, and Isa absolutely adored Professor Myers because he was the professor of her favorite subject, herbology, and her amazing head of house. As usual she had brought a plant gift for him, this time a color-changing chrysanthemum. Setting the chrysanthemum down for a moment, Isa knocked on the door before picking the pot up again. Now to wait.
Multiple essays graded, special projects from a few seventh years looked over, and a letter of recommendation written, Paul was, yes, POOPED. He had just sat down to relax with Zelda when he got the signal that someone was knocking on his meeting space door.
"Welp, there goes my break," but he smiled as he walked past his dog, patting her on the head gently.
"I'll be back, my girl." He made his way through the dimly lit room with the light up tiles and opened the door to see Isa!
"Why hello, what a pleasure, m'dear. Come in, come in!" and he stepped aside from the door and gestured at the couches.

No matter what argument was presented, the second year found no justification in the actions of the adults during the OPTIONAL healing seminar. His own feelings aside, namely the BETRAYAL TO HIS LOYAL HUFFLEPUFF HEART OF A PROFESSOR HE ADMIRED AND ASPIRED TO, he couldn't acceot that no effort had been done to even attempt to comfort Abey during his shock.
He had considered going to the Headmistress directly.
He knew how the hierarchy of things worked thanks to mum, but he had strayed from that path to make a STATEMENT by going to visit Professor Dark Lord. SURELY the fact that he was choosing to see this man would be proof enough of how DESPERATE he was, right?
Maybe another day he would have enjoyed the set up here, no doubt pretend he didn't as he had done last term with the trampoline floor, but not today. Today he was ALL business and had even slicked his hair back to look more mature.
And SO it was with heavy heart but the will of an offended hippogriff that he POUNDED knocked on his Head of House's door.
If there was someone Paul COULD expect to see at his door, it was certainly not Derfael. He knew the boy wasn't a big Paul Myers fan. It didn't hurt his feeling; young ones were so...odd at times yes? But he smiled nonetheless.
"Derf. Fancy seeing you here! Come in...this must be important." Because why else would the boy visit him?
He nodded towards one of the couches, and as Paul walked over, the tiles lit up. Multicolored and bright. Paul loved it.
