Like that Lucky Torelli, who'd gotten a fair few people to call him that last year.
"Thank you," he said when the young girl complimented his office. "It's rather stereotypical of me to have an office decorated with stars and crystal orbs, I'm sure, but what can I say? I find them soothing," he said with a chuckle. It always calmed him down when he was stressed to take a look into the orb and see what he could find about the stressful situation.
Although, sometimes it had the opposite effect.
"I'm sorry, I don't believe I caught your name," he added. He looked at the other students who had just entered and smiled. "You may all take a seat as well!" he said, pulling out his wand and quickly duplicating a wooden chair in the corner for the students who hadn't sat down yet. It was getting crowded in here!
A small blush spread across her face. Oh oops the very first Professor she meets and she gets his name wrong. Mia was just about to apologise when he told her that she could indeed call him Professor Nolan. "Right, I'll remember that. Don't call you Professor Dude." She was not sure why she would even do that but it was good to know.
Mia looked around his office again and she smiled, "I don't think it's stereotypical at all. I mean if you can't have your office outside then why not bring outside in." Hmm, did that sound stupid? Most probably. "I have to agree, the crystal balls give it a nice touch. Do you actually see anything in them?" Because she had always wondered whether magical people could actually see into crystal balls. "We have this lady who lives in our commune who has a crystal ball and she says that she can see the future in them. But between you and me I think she's a bit of a fraud. She told old Artie that he was going to win first prize at the county fair for the largest watermelon grown but he didn't." Although she conveniently left out the fact that she had accidentally blown it up when she was supposed to be levitating it.
Oh yes name that would probably help, wouldn't it? "Mia Gibbins." She replied with a smile and sitting up straight in her chair, "Fourth year, Hufflepuff."
