Andi looked at the girl as the door crashed open. The girl gasped out her request. "Oh for-" she muttered, wondering if she had suddenly acquired tags on her door that were visible only to the student eye. 'Psychiatrist' and 'Nurse'. What next? 'Babysitter'? There was nothing visibly wrong with the student so far as Andi could see, but she couldn't take any chances. With a wave of her wand and a muttered incantation, Andi whipped a bubble of pure oxygen around the girl's head, making sure she cast a spell that would clear her windpipes as well. If she was lying - and Gods help her if she was - the spell would shoot through her nostrils and down her throat most painfully and the oxygen would dizzy her. Either way, she ended up in the infimary. |
Tia stood up straighter, leaning against a wall, scowling and coughing. Much as she wanted to be thankful to the Professor, the look on the Professor's face seemed to be - as usual - not-so-overly-happy. She took a deep breath, feeling much better now that she was no longer coughing and wheezing. "Thanks, Professor," she said calmly. "Do you think I should go to the Hospital Wing?" she asked, her tone suggesting that she merely commenting on the day's weather. She could never be her warm self when around Professor Mao-Macdougal. |
"Please do," said Andi, as the girl appeared to recover herself. "I'm sure the nurse would be very concerned and would like to find out what caused the attack. Good day to you." |
Tia suddenly stopped in the act of almost thanking the Professor again. "Nothing caused the attack, Professor," Tia said calmly. "I was merely sitting by the lake when this happened, all of a sudden - Though, of course, I do remember thinking of you not long before I was seized by this - by this ... err ... attack, or whatever this was," she stated, even though she had not been thinking of the Professor when this had happened. It wasn't a bad story to tell the Nurse, though. She slipped out of the office and left the door open behind her. |
Rosalie was the first student out of the classroom when it ended. She headed straight for the Professor's office, and waited in the hall outside for Andi Mao-Macdougal to show. |

She collapsed again, laughing helplessly. |
Spotting another student by the door Thump walked straight passed them and knocked hard on the door,dropping to the ground right in front of it,determined to find out what was going on with AMMZ. |
Rosalie stared at the back of the Ravenclaw's head, wondering when her execution would commence. She leaned back against the wall, waiting to be called into the office. It hadn't been her idea to come, so she wasn't pushing to get inside. While she waited, she inspected the ends of her long auburn ponytail for split ends. |

"I...take it that you feel quite alright then," he mumbled, with an unsure smile. |
Andi was still shaking with mirth, and Opteryx's nervous laughter just added to it, like tickles down the side of her stomach. "N-n-never better," she managed to say, still spluttering. "Oh dear, I don't think I'll be able to stop. Hehe. W-what on earth a-am I going to t-tell Ms. Hale? A-and did you n-n-notice the looks they were giving you?" She collasped into another fit. |
"A few of them looked quite ready to hex me senseless," Professor Opteryx chuckled weakly, sinking into the chair. "They probably still do," he added as an afterthought, looking slightly worried. |
Andi's laughter slowly died down from a roar, to a purr. She still hiccuped with laughter a few times, but had gotten herself under control again, even though her cheeks were still red and her eyes still creased. "Oh lord, that's a years worth of laughter wrinkles, I'll bet," she said, looking at Opteryx. "No worries, I'm sure you can handle a few students yes? It was partially your fault, after all." She snickered again. "Seriously though, I doubt they'd do anything so drastic. You might not take off points, but I would." |

At which point, he realized that there was a knocking and shuffling noise from the other side of the door. "I think someone wants an explaination," he remarked lightly, shifting into a more dignified sitting position. |
"Hm," said Andi, composing herself. She got off the table, and moved behind it, pulling her chair towards it. Andi nodded at Opteryx, "Do stay," she said. "Those be-damned cookies took hours to bake and none of them even took a bite." She smiled her shark's smile. "I can't imagine why." "Come in," she said, towards the door. She supposed she did owe a few explanations to poor Ms. Hale of all people. |
Nodding towards the Slytherin girl who was there first he indicated that he would go,he was sure she wouldnet mind,at least it would postpone her punishment. Walking into the office he spotted the other Professor from class.Had wrapped firmly around crackers nicked from the Great Hall he was very tempted to throw them at him but refrained from doing so on account that AMMZ was right there. Walking up to the desk he asked cautiously "Professor..ar.are you ok" he said with maybe just a slight bit of genuine worry in his voice, noticing her slightly less crazy demeanor. |
"Ah, Mr. Nixon," said Andi coldly, even while her lips twitched. "Assure you that I am perfectly alright, no doubt to your disappointment. The lesson was a one shot experiment," she struggled not to burst out laughing again as the memory assailed her, "and I doubt it will happen again." She raised her eyebrows at Opteryx. "I'm sure some will be disappointed, but others would be... rather relieved." |
When she was told to come in, Rosalie reached up and clutched her silver cross necklace and spoke to no one. "Meet me by Anna's painting. I'll be there in a moment." Before walking through the door. "You wanted to see me ma'am." She said barely one step through the door, brown eyes fixed on the opposite wall, just above Professor Mao-Macdougal's head. |
Hearing her cold tone Thump felt like a dunce for even caring. "If i was dissapointed i would not have came Professor" said Thump in a disgusted voice "And i can Assure YOU that I hated that lesson,the spells were informative and will be usefull but your attitude was rediculous and not condusive of a proper learning enviornment. And I if not anyone else wil lbe looking forward to your return in your normal personality. Is he responsible for that lesson" said Thump equally disgusted nodding to the other Professor,he was tempted even more to throw the crackers if only to vent his anger. |
While the boy spoke she thought a silent hear, hear, though remained silent, and stiff as stone. Her thumb traced the single emerald embedded in her cross necklace, which she was still clutching. Her right hand crossed over her stomach, and was holding onto the elbow of her left arm. |

He was sincere, even though this wasn't his office, his subject nor his student, in contrast to Andi's usual cold front and manner of dealing with her students. |
Andi couldn't help a slight smirk in Opteryx's direction. "He... did give me the idea," she said. "But then again, you could say there were many factors in my little... joke. One of which was the... lecture you were so kind to give me. And, what can I say? I do apologize for emotional and mental trauma caused in that lesson." She bit her lower lip again, trying not to laugh. At Opteryx's statement, Andi sighed and shook her head. The man would be nice, no matter what. It was painfully easy to like him and Matthias Wenlock, if she sometimes wondered if they ever came down from Planet Happy. She nodded towards Rosalie, "I must say your behaviour was flattering, Ms. Hale," she said with a slight smile that came to her more naturally than the big grin she had sported. "I'd give points to Slytherin but of course, that's out of the question." |
Quote:
"I am sorry I spoke out in class the way I did. It was dissrespectful, and it was far from my place to object in such a way. I acted like a child, and I appologize for it." Was all she said, before falling slient, still refusing to make eyecontact with anyone. |
"Oh no," said Andi mildly, with a slight shrug. "I found it flattering that you should like my... old self that much. Heh. I find it rather more reassuring if my students can speak up if they find something reasonable has gone wrong. So, no worries." |
Glaring at the teacher,Thump relaxed a little it,it was hard to be mad at someone who spoke so nicely to you,though he was not fully consoled and still wanted to smack him with a handfull of crackers. "Well Professor though im sure most people would agree that Professor MM is rather hard on her students,I know personally of students who appreciate and think this attitude pushes them to work hard,even if they still go around think that she hates them" he said shooting the teacher a quick glance "but the behavior in class today was far to out of hand.We went from having a simple problem and the teacher squashing it to laughter and playtime all around,involving kids daydreaming and callous behavior from certain students,putting dirty shoes on the table,the normal AMMZ would not allow it,and personally i think that allowing things like that to go on only excites other kids to do the same. Our regualr classes,at the very least,teach us how to behave." |
"Well were I did like your old self quite well, I disapprove highly of your new self. I hold no respect for people who alter their personality for the approval of another." She scolded herself mentally. "Sorry ma'am. It is not my place to criticize you. You are my educator, not my sibling or friend, and I should treat you so. I sincerely apologize." Pursing her lips into a thin line, she raised her face slightly her eyes fixing on a higher point. |
