07-06-2006, 12:56 AM
| | |  Professor Mao-Macdougal's Office
The back of the door you open looks scarred, as if someone has been shooting spells at it. Indeed, now that you look closer, the scratches actually spell out something. Close the Door.
How bizzare...?!
The words suddenly flame a bright liquid yellow, and the door yanks itself out of your frozen grasp and slams itself shut. The women sitting at the desk barely looks up at the bang. She appears to be writing something slowly, and deliberately, and you wait while the quiet, but somehow menacing scritch-scritch of the quill goes on.
Meanwhile, you take the oppurtunity to look around the room. There are a few pictures lying around the place, soft, swirling, bright splashes of color that could mean anything - a tree, a flower, a cloud, but mostly the wall is plastered with bookshelves, and they in turn, are stuffed with books. A few of them look like they are trying to bite, but can only squirm instead, fastened with black leather bands. Most are more docile, and rather decorative, with smooth spines and delicately drawn words on the covers, in all shades of dark colors.
On top of the bookshelves are perched thin, golden shining things, some bear resemblance to astrolabes, others look a little like windchimes. A few hang from the ceiling, and one particular one is hung over with delicate beads - of crystal or plastic, you can't quite tell. Between them, they catch the light of the room and toss it, glint, glitter, glimmer, glisten, gleam, about, creating provocative shadows and sudden bursts of scintillating light.
But professor doesn't look like the sort of woman who would choose things like these. You look back at her, still writing. She's a lounging sort of creature, with very thick, very black hair that has been pulled back into a bun, though thick waves of it fall forward over her ears. Her skin has a yellow tint, or that might be the lighting. The teak desk she is writing on bears a nameplate. The words shine the same way the scratches on the door did. Prof. Andi Mao-Macdougal Zizhen
She has long sweeping eyelashes, perhaps overmascara-ed, that brush her cheeks. When she finally pushes away the paper, and holds the quill between two of her fingers, like she's smoking (you suspect that she was just drawing lines on parchment, to prolong your discomfort) the quick look Professor Mao-Macdougal gives you is like ash falling off a cigarette.
She is definitely Chinese - or half Chinese, with eyes that are tilted upwards. She looks tall, but that's only because she holds herself tall and somehow manages to look down her nose on you when you're a head taller. Over the summer, Professor Mao-Macdougal has successfully kicked the smoking habit, though it has not noticeably sweetened her temper.
She leans forward on the table, her eyebrows barely going up in a minimal show of interest. "Yes?" Professor Mao-Macdougal says, quietly. "May I... help you?"
And there is something in her tone that threatens: this had better be good or nothing in the world is going to help you, except maybe those nice trained Healers at St. Mungo's.  | |

Lee accepted the letter from the Professor and looked down at it. It looked so easy to open and it was so altogether tempting. While such thoughts buzzed through Lee's head, Professor Mao-MacDougal was rambling on about Andrei and Nik and stuff he didn't really care about, he just wanted to open the letter. His attention did snap back to the Professor though, when she gave her warning of what would happen if he DID open the letter. Was she a legilimens? Lee was even more scared now. "Yes... good day to you ma'am. See you in class," Lee headed out of the door and shut it behind him,"... maybe."

Francesca was walking though the halls when she remembered she needed to talk to AMMZ about what Andrei said to her at the start of term. That should get a rise out of her if anything. Of course if what Nik said is true, she'd write Andrei about it and then I'd have to go throw up somewhere. She came up to the door and knocked gently. AMMZ seemed like the type who didn't like students disturbing her for stupid things but she considered this very important right now.

Andi looked up from sorting her ribbons in surprised irritation. Was there to be no peace today? Quickly, she glanced in the mirror, annoyed to see her face was still flushed after the prefect's assumptions. Her and Andrei Vannacutt! Forsooth!
"Come in," she snapped, her eyes flashing, adding under her breath, "And this better be good..."

Francesca walked into AMMZ's office running her fingers through her hair. That was becoming a nasty little habit for her which must be stopped right away otherwise she would not have any hair left. "Professor I need to talk to you about something Andrei Vannacutt said to me before I got onto the train for this term. Since you sort of know him, I decided to come to you about this." I swear she had better not write to him about this after I leave.

Andrei Vannacutt! Again! Andi's eyes were glinting like little sparks of fire by now, she half rose from her chair, and settled on the edge of her table instead, beginning to obsessively, compulsively sort the ribbons, letting her fingers feel the silk and the slightly purr of the spells on them. "You do realise, that since Vannacutt is not a consort, nor even a friend to me, it's rather silly to come to me about this and do something about it?" she said, a trifle sarcastically. "What pompous platitudes did he come up with this time?"

Seeing that AMMZ wasn't exactly happy about the mention of Nik's git of a father, she took a step back just in case the woman decided to take rage out on her. Not friends? Okay that's not what Nik said so I don't know if you're hiding something or what. "Good then you won't be writing to him about what I say in here. He told me that he didn't want me interfering with Nik this term or in any future terms. Then he goes and says that I'm a bad influence on him!"

Andi sighed, letting a few of the ribbons drop from her hands. She gave Francesca a Look. "He told you that you were a bad influence on Nik?" Andi's eyes were beginning to flash again. "Really? What a -" she caught herself in time. "And what do you want me to do about it if you don't want me to write and tell him to bugger off, hm?" She looked at the ribbons in her hand, and her face suddenly began to take on the same hue, "I'm seeing him at Hogsmeade, perhaps this weekend," she said hurriedly. "You don't want me to talk to him for you?"

"You're seeing him at Hogsmeade this weekend? Um I think it would be best if I didn't talk to him since I called him a git after he told me to stay away from Nik. You can bring it up if you want. I don't think I can talk to the elder Vannacutt without expecting a hex from him." Fran said trailing off when she said git and her voice getting back to normal after that. It would be better for AMMZ to talk to him than it would for Fran to because Andrei probably wouldn't listen to a child anyway.

"Hmmmph," said Andi quietly, a dark look on her face. Sharply, she stuffed the ribbons back into her box and shook her head irritably. "I'll be sure to speak to him about it when I see the idiot. Now get out of here before I take fifty points off Slytherin for irritating me and get fired by the headmistress for being unfair."
She flung herself back into her chair, looking like she was preparing a long, nasty sulk.

"Fine then." She sniffed and walked out of her office mentally kicking herself in the head. She knew that it was a bad idea to talk to her about that stupid git called Andrei Vannacutt. That didn't exactly go well. Woman looked like she wanted to throw daggers at me actually. Whatever. She started to wander around the school thinking of various things.

Alicia stepped in and looked around carefully "Hello, my names Alicia, Cranberry and i'm a first year Hufflepuff, and i would just like to say that I am very very excited to be doing charms!! They are among my favourite sunjects" she smiled warmly and her voice was level with a hiss of cold as Alicia tried to be level with Professor Mao-Macdougal.

He closed his eyes for a moment and a grin spread across his face. He thought hard and understood what she meant and turned around. He waved and gave a brief smile to Lee and walked out of the office.

Nicole knocked on the door, and then slowly walked into the room. She let out a big sigh and began to speak. "Hello, proffesor. My name is Nicole, and I'm a first year in Gryffindor. I am looking forward to taking charms. It seems like a very interesting and important class." Nicole hoped to be get on good side. After what she had heard about the proffesor, she had carefully chosen her words. She was very, very nervous.

"How very nice for you," said Andi boredly, playing with her quill. "Cranberry, what a very nice color." The rest of her words sounded like she had been forced to memorize them, they trotted out as wooden as dolls, "I - do - hope - you - will - have - a - nice - year - at - Hogwarts. Alrighthankyougoodbye."
She paused and then snapped at the girl, "And next time, knock before entering." Quote:

Andi nodded at the Gryffindor, somewhat appeased that she had knocked at least. "If you can learn what I can teach Ms. Smith, then perhaps you could say that Charms is indeed a very important class. Though any idiot can wave their wand about and say a few words," added Andi under her breath. "Alrightthankyougoodbye." It was such a quick, useful phrase. Andi was beginning to find herself addicted to it.

Nik trudged into the Professor's office behind her. There was a scowl fixed on his face and his heart was beating a mile a minute at the punishment he was sure to receive. All because of Lee and his big fat mouth. The office was teeming with students, so he just hung back and waited for AMMZ to clear them all out before dealing with whatever it was she wanted to deal with him. | |

Tia stared at the door for a second before raising an apprehensive eyebrow. She wasn't exactly sure what to expect from the Professor herself, if the door reflected her personality. She muttered something inexplicable under her breath and, one eybrow stil lraised, leaned forward to knock at the heavily scarred door. | |

There were several new students in the room when Nikolai entered. Swiftly, Andi proceeded to get rid of them... Quote:

OOC: Do not RP for me.
"Your first class will be when I choose it to be, thankyougoodbye," snapped Andi. She was rather sick of people introducing themselves to her especially when she mostly had no interest whatsoever in them. Very few caught her interest or showed any talent.
After ushering them away, and ignoring the knock on her door, Andi settled back into her chair and eyed the boy before her. Quote: Nik trudged into the Professor's office behind her.

"What exactly is going on, Nikolai?" she said, comparatively mild. Less like a rabid crocodile than a rabid shark. "I do not enjoy rumors being spread about me and your incorrigible father."

He was sick of this whole situation and he had half a mind to poison his father for ever writing to AMMZ in the first place. | |

"That bloody -- I mean Mr. Andrez informed me that you said your father and I were... getting it on," she said, giving the last few words a poison drip of disdain. "Let me assure you that this is most certainly untrue. Your father cannot abide me," there was a slightly pang there, "and I most certainly detest him. And frankly, I don't think he's bringing you up well at all. You get into fights, you bully others - and that old goat is even trying to deter Ms. Clairmont from being your friend as a bad influence. Hah!"

Nik winced at her use of that disgusting phrase, "I assure you, Professor, I never uttered those words. Nor do I want to. The very thought of-" he broke off and shuddered. "I really do not care what my father is doing and whom he is doing it with. As for bringing me up...HAH! I doubt he ever thought about it."
He pointedly ignored what AMMZ said about his friendship with Franchesca, as that was a rather confusing area right now and he didnt wish to dwell on it overmuch. | |

Andi snapped her fingers. "Precisely! Even without trying, Vannacutt manages to make a mess." Her voice was utterly lacking in sentiment, sounding rather more like a jeweler checking a coal that could be a diamond, when she added, "You've got talent, Nikolai, but you're irresponsible, undisciplined and you use your looks to get out of things. Say what you will about Andrei Vannacutt," and she ought to know since she was the one saying most of it, "he is talented and disciplined." Even though he's as responsible as a rabbit and uses his good looks like a pretty girl at a dance.
