OOC: Before posting in this thread, you must first post in the Waiting Area for Professor Carlton's Office.

The Office of Alexia Carlton

In its time, this particular office has housed a number of different professors, most, Lexi Carlton would assume, bringing about their very own special flair for decorating, meeting, and greeting. Professor Carlton knows not what it looked like when it first came to be, nor does she ever recall visiting it during the years she attended school here at Hogwarts. She simply strolled into it a few months ago---just after being hired as the newest Charms professor---and...well, took over in her own special way.

Lexi is a pureblooded witch who was born and raised in Sevenoaks, Kent, England. Despite her birthplace and the fact that she attended Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, much of her life, so far, has revolved around living in the United States of America, where she attended a university and worked in the American Ministry of Magic.

Once inside the office, you'll find that it's typical of what a person would expect any office to look like. The professor sits at a large, wooden desk centered along the back wall. A wizarding portrait of the Carlton family of five decorates the wall just behind the desk. If you watch the portrait long enough, a Carlton or two just might grow bored of their pose and walk away. Don't worry, though, they'll be back later, of course!

Little odds and ends throughout the office, such as a miniature model of the Statue of Liberty and a framed portrait of Times Square, reflect Lexi's time away from her home country of Great Britain. A bookcase lining the entire left wall of the office houses Lexi's career-oriented literature, diplomas from Hogwarts and university, and a collection of framed pictures of family and friends. Don't let the professional appearance of the office fool you into thinking Lexi is all about work and no play, though. In between staff meetings and teaching class, the Charms professor enjoys sitting back, relaxing, and thumbing through the latest edition of Witch Weekly. It's typical of Lexi to have a couple of issues squeezed in amongst the literature, diplomas, and pictures situated on the bookcase.

Once you’re invited in, please help yourself to a seat. Professor Carlton is quite happy to see you!
