Emily walked into the classroom and looked around. just as I pictured it she said in her head. then went over to the teacher and said, " hello my name is Emily Aqua, I am very glad to be here today."

Andi's face shut down. It became as communicative as a rock. A corpse would have had more expression. "I think," she said slowly, and carefuly, "that you have been working too hard. And that you need some rest and perhaps a nice person to take your mind off things. Also, perhaps a good whap across the head to put you in a deep sleep. Much better than anasthetics, I assure you. I'm sure you can find someone to oblige if these dreams continue."

"That's very nice, get out of here and knock on the door," snapped Andi. "If I allowed every Hermione, Veronica and Gwenevere," she had a whole set of names for males as well - Algernon, Abercombie, Langsfield, "then I wouldn't even bother with that block-of-wood-and-hinges, would I?"

"But you don't understand!," Tag blurted out. "I know it was real!" He began to babble. "I know it was real. . . I was there, I saw it. . . I saw you there too. . . " Tag shot up out of his chair, a crazed look in his eye, and bolted for the door.
He was wringing his hands as he exited, still muttering to himself, and throwing looks over his shoulder. "I know it happened, it's all right here in my head. She knows what I'm talking about. She's hiding something. . . she's messing with all of us. . . "

Andi stared after the boy, for once, shocked right out of her composure, eyes wide. "Good heavens," she murmured to herself. "He's... well, let's be kind. He's distracted. I'll put out word to the nurse." Andi shook her head, clucking her tongue slightly. Maybe she should have given him that hard ding across the ear, poor kid.

The Charms professor turned. Andi had been perusing her book-shelf. It was interesting to note that when her hand brushed against a book, the shiny leather and neat appearance faded to become a more realistic, much thumbed copy of Meas Un Maida (Monsters and More Monsters). "Come in," she said, stepping away sharply from her bookshelf. Instantly, the books closed over in their shining shell.

Andi looked at the girl, her eyebrows raising. "A love potion?" she repeated dubiously, giving the girl an up-and-down glance. Oh, well. Poor girl could hardly expect to attract anyone honestly - but that didn't mean Andi had to aid and abet her. "I'm sorry," Andi said, with a shrug. "I can't do that. You'll find that good food and a short skirt make up for any lack in looks. Is that all? Good day to you."

Andi looked after the rude girl in a mild shock. Good heavens, what was this with storming in and out? She had only been trying to help. Andi tossed her head, noting with satisfaction, the gleam of onyx on her hair (she wasn't quite as unhappy with her looks as some would surmise). Then she turned back to her books with only the slightest play of a smirk about her mouth.

Jenni knocked on the door, and waited for a reply.

Andi sighed, and walked towards the door, pulling it open. "Yes?" she said, looking down at the Slytherin girl. "How may I help you?"

"I was...er...wondering Professor if you could help me with some extra studying I'm doing?" Jenni said, politely.

Andi raised an eyebrow at the girl. "Certainly," she said. "But I presume there are study groups for this sort of thing. And obviously, I won't be able to help you if what you want is illegal or anything."

Andi looked up at the sight of Professor Opteryx. He was a runed man*. It is quite possible that Andi needed sleep, some chocolate and much, much less of students running in and out of her office. She dismissed the Slytherin with a wave of her hand.

"Yes, Opteryx?" she said with a raised eyebrow. "What can I do you for?"

*Rune = ruined.

Jenni chuckled slightly. "No I don't think it's illegal. I would like to learn how to do the protean charm."

Andi shook her head. "Sorry," she said. "I don't think that at this age you have the capacity to do a complicated spell like that. Maybe when you're older. Alrightthankyougoodbye."

She charmed the door shut.

Andi gave Opteryx a smile that was nothing more than an upturned grimace and some teeth. "No, what makes you say that?" she asked, sarcastically as she drew out some tea and poured it. She indicated with an eyebrow, mutely asking if Opteryx wanted any.

Andi closed her eyes momentarily. "Don't remind me," she muttered. "That miserable, lying, two-faced little lizard of a Lee Andrez - and then that bloody Gryffindor who hexed me and tried to blame it on Nikolai Vannacutt. I swear to God, if Andrei Vannacutt ever got wind of these happenings..." She shuddered, not entirely theatrically and sipped at her tea.

"Oh well," she added nastily. "I managed to sell that extra hair off and add a little something to my saving-up-for-an-Iron-Maiden-and-Some-Thumbscrews fund."

"...You know, it might help to try and...do things a little differently. Sometimes students only behave nastier if they know that they'll get into trouble for it, if only to give you a headache," Opteryx suggested cautiously from behind his teacup.

Andi's eyes snapped open as she glared at the man who was in danger of burning his nose with the cup. "Oh? So you're saying it's my fault, is it?" she snapped dangerously and not completely reasonably either.

Amanda walked in."Professer if your not busy I have a quest-oh.I'll come back later"she said embarresed and left.
