Cheesy Mac Professor Shackleton pushed aside her lesson plans and slowly closed the textbook that was lying open on her desk. Smiling at Jessica, Macadrian responded, "Good afternoon Jessica. Thank you for coming to visit me. It's always nice to have visitors! Why don't we have a seat by the windows?"
Professor Shackleton pushed her chair out from behind her desk, stood up and headed to the comfortable looking armchairs, gesturing for Jessica to join her. Before taking her seat, Macadrian asked, "Would you like something to drink? I have tea and hot chocolate warming over the fire as we speak. I also had the house elves bring up a tray of assorted cookies so we can share some of those while we catch up."
Macadrian removed her wand from inside her robes and with a quick flick of the wrist, her china cabinet had opened and two white tea cups and saucers flew out and landed on the table between the armchairs. With another flick, the pot with the cocoa and the kettle with the tea zoomed over to Professor Shackleton and hovered in midair. She took her seat in a large armchair apolstered in rich navy fabric and smiled at Jessica. Grabbing a cookie from the tray already sitting on the table between them, Macadrian asked, "So, how was your summer break? Do anything exciting?"
