| Term 16: June - September 2007 Term Sixteen: Baby Cries |
06-01-2007, 04:41 PM
| | Professor Blaylock-Erikson's Office Up the winding staircase to the top of the North Tower lies the office of the Divination Professor. A trap door in the ceiling bears a silver plaque with the words: Professor Natasha Blaylock-Erikson
Divination Another sign is tacked under the plaque. It reads "Away on leave, be back in one week." OOC: My character will be away from Hogwarts during the first week of term, so this thread will be closed til she returns. |

| Nabs!Ama | | The Happy Hufflepuff Natasha Blaylock-Erikson (she still couldn't get over the double barreled last name) made it up to her office early that morning with very little difficulty. Despite the fact that she had a baby in her arms and was levitating her trunk behind her. She wasn't supposed to be back for another week, but she couldn't stand being in that cottage in Scotland with just Damian, a nurse and her grandmother to keep her company.
So she was back at Hogwarts early, without anyone knowing. She intended to surprise everyone, even her husband. Oh, he'd probably throw a fit at her returning alone, but even that thought couldn't dampen her happiness at being back at the castle.
She cooed to the sleeping bundle in her arms, "Welcome to mummy's haven, Damian." |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Tahir Kovac Khatri First Year | Ama!Nabs IS NAMED MINHO & Is SO Black Panther Right Now Unable to stand the solitude any longer Celestina pressed her lips firmly together and climbed the stairs leading towards the tower. Then she climbed the ridiculous ladder that would lead her to Professor Blaylock's office. Bucky was just thankful that she had good strong legs underneath her.
Not bothering to knock she threw the trap door open and hung to the edge of the opening, bottom half still dangling precariously on the ladder.
"Blay," she muttered between pants. "I swear. You. No Healthy!"
She didn't mean Blaylock wasn't healthy. What she had meant that climbing those stairs after having a baby was definitely not healthy. |

| Nabs!Ama | | The Happy Hufflepuff Natasha turned her head at the sound of her trap door being pushed open, hoping to see her husband, but it wasn't. It was just Bucky, not that Bucky wasn't special to her, but still...she hadn't seen Armand in a week!
She took in the girl's words, and the way she was gasping for breath and her eyes crinkled up with laughter. "Oh no, Bucky, I believe you are the unhealthy one among us." |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Tahir Kovac Khatri First Year | Ama!Nabs IS NAMED MINHO & Is SO Black Panther Right Now Celestina looked up at Blaylock from where she hung, still trying to get a hold of a normal breathing pattern. Snorting she pulled herself the rest of the way, thankful that it was all females and she didn't have to worry if her skirt rode up a bit too high in her efforts to make it completely into the office.
"I'm not unhealthy!" She protested and patted her chest. "Your office is just ridiculously away from normal civilization!" |

| Nabs!Ama | | The Happy Hufflepuff Natasha sighed and settled onto her favourite sofa, cuddling the babe to her chest, "Yes, it is that...but I quite like it." She looked around at the circular office, with it's stone walls and antique wooden furniture. The books she'd added to the collection still covered the bookshelves, and her various Divination tools were propped up here and there.
She turned back to Bucky and beckoned her to sit beside her, "Don't you think it's just like the stuff out of the muggle romance novels?" |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Tahir Kovac Khatri First Year | Ama!Nabs IS NAMED MINHO & Is SO Black Panther Right Now Celestina eyed the baby with worry. The thing looked so tiny in comparison to the woman holding it. Bucky wondered if she was born that small and weird looking. Sitting down beside Blaylock, eyes still worrying over the babe she wrinkled her nose.
"The room?" Bucky questioned and frowned. "I suppose. It looks like a place where the old step mother would lock up her beautiful step daughter only because she was jealous of her beauty and bubbly personality."
Bucky raised a single red brow and cleared her throat.
"What's his name again?" |

| Nabs!Ama | | The Happy Hufflepuff Natasha laughed at the dead giveaway that Bucky read romance novels, but didn't comment on it. Instead, she moved the blanket a teeny bit so that the student could better see the bundle in her arms.
"His name is Damian Blaylock-Erikson...don't you think he's just the most beautiful baby boy in the entire world?" She cooed down at the baby, who had just opened his eyes from a short nap, "Oh yesh he is...yesh he is."
She blushed as she realized what she'd done and cleared her throat slightly before turning back to the student. |

| Help us we're a bunch of letters stuck in this box !! The trapdoor to Blaylock's tower office rattled loudly, bumping up in a split-second just long enough to catch a glimpse of a curly brown head that had just rammed it. There was an 'Ow!' and some choice words too muffled to distinguish. After a momentary pause, the trapdoor flung open all the way with a great slam, this time with the use of a hand. Tag, slightly pop-eyed, climbed through the hole in the floor. "Someone's going to kill themselves on that thing one of these days!," he declared loudly, rubbing his temple. "I mean honestly! Don't your cards ever tell you 'move into a nice ground-floor office with real chairs and a view of the lawn and quick access to the kitchens'?"

| Nabs!Ama | | The Happy Hufflepuff Grateful for the distraction, Natasha laughed at the new comer and beckoned him in even as Damian protested at the loud noise. She rocked the baby for a moment before turning back to the student.
"Tagren, honestly, must you be so loud?" she attempted to adopt a stern expression, but it was really difficult to do when she was so fond of the young man. "And if you must know...I thought I saw something in the crystal ball warning me to stay far way from clumsy boys with a mop of brown curls." |

| Help us we're a bunch of letters stuck in this box !! Tag turned around, as if expected such a person to be standing behind him. "Then you'd better be extra careful," he said innocently, putting both hands behind his back and rocking on his heels. He'd actually come looking for Bucky. He'd been entirely consumed by Quidditch the last week and was starting to forget what she looked like. He was wary, however, that at the moment she was positioned right next to what looked suspiciously like a baby. Tag inched closer, craning his neck. Yep. Bad news in a blankie. "Are you still going to teach Divination, now that you have that?" he asked, pointing at the bundle in Natasha's arms.

| Nabs!Ama | | The Happy Hufflepuff Natasha grinned at him and once again held Damian in a way that displayed him beautifully, "Yes, I will still be teaching...There will be a nurse of sorts to watch Damian while I'm working. And Damian is a boy, Tag...not a that."
She was quite wary of the young boy as he inched closer. She remembered all too well the incidents of last term when Tagren had innocently come too close. Anything could happen, and she was just glad there was no sign of a liver or dragon dung around. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Tahir Kovac Khatri First Year | Ama!Nabs IS NAMED MINHO & Is SO Black Panther Right Now Celestina was glad she didn't have to answer Blaylock's question because she was about to protest. She hadn't actually seen a cuter baby in real life but whilst watching muggle television, Bucky was certain she saw a few babies that were just a tad cuter.
Celestina was also glad that the distraction had turned out to be Tag.
"Oh, so it's not true!" She exclaimed, brows raised. "You are alive. Rumor had it that you had been bludgeoned to death by a bludger and that the team had buried you near the lake in hopes they weren't assigned a new tyrant--I mean Quidditch Captain."
Bucky chuckled entirely amused by Tag's obvious discomfort around babies and stood up abruptly, not wanting her klutzy boyfriend near the fragile infant.
"A boy. Much like you minus the uh--" Bucky stopped herself to glance down at his arms and gestured casually at them. "Muscles and the uh--tallness. And other things I'm sure." |

| Help us we're a bunch of letters stuck in this box !! "The team hasn't been formed yet," Tag informed Bucky sardonically, hands on hips. "They can't kill me for sure until they know they're under my tyranthood." Despite his teasing, Tag felt a pang of guilt. He'd been holed up since the first day of term, studying strategy guides and forming a new top-secret playbook. Even Kemma thought his studying had gotten slightly obsessive. . . and she was a nerd. In fact, he'd only seen Bucky in passing in the hallways. Despite his enthusiasm for the sport, Tag was beginning to feel like a boyfriend-failure.
Tag's tone grew apologetic and he shoved his hands in his pockets. "Aw, tryouts are next week. . . maybe things will calm down a little after they're over. Leastwise, I won't be getting mobbed in the common room by first-years who all want to be seeker. I think one of them wiped his nose on me yesterday." He looked over at Damian, knowing babies were capable of much worse than snot explosions.
"So. . . uh. . . Professor Blaylock. . . Erikson? Blaylock-Erikson?" Professor Blaylock-Erikson! How on earth do they expect us to get that all out in one breath? "So, it's a boy. He looks just like. . ." A monkey, Tag wanted to say. But he'd said that about his sister's last baby, and she'd hit him with her broomstick. "He looks like Professor Erikson." There! That was comparable. If anything, Tag learned from his mistakes. People always wanted to hear that their babies looked just like them, even if by principle, babies didn't even look human.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Tahir Kovac Khatri First Year | Ama!Nabs IS NAMED MINHO & Is SO Black Panther Right Now Celestina rolled her eyes even though her lips wore and amused smile. Bucky cared about Professor Blaylock--Correction, Blaylock-Erikson just as much as the next student, possibly more but right now she needed to steal her boyfriend away before Quidditch made him disappear for another week.
"Yes, yes," said Bucky clapping her hands together and beamed at the Professor and her baby. "Completely adorable. And scary all at once. Just like Manly Man Erikson."
Wrinkling her nose at Tag, she made a face and quickly replaced it with a smile. "Do you know how much I missed you? A lot. Now get your butt down that ladder." Turning him around she pushed Tag down the hole and hoped he didn't miss a step on the way down.
"Later, Professor!" Bucky chirped and headed down the ladder in hopes she hadn't just killed the Ravenclaw Quidditch Captain. |

| Nabs!Ama | | The Happy Hufflepuff Natasha watched Bucky drag the Ravenclaw Quidditch Captain out of her office with an amused expression. She hoped the boy didn't roll down the stairs from her office, as she recalled that he was quite the clumsy one.
She stood up, holding Damian close to her as she made her way to the back rooms. She had to put Damian to sleep and then prepare the room for her Tarot Reading party. Hopefully there would be at least 5 people who turned up... |

Amanda walked in the Divination Room. "Professer, I had a feeling you were free, so can I talk to you?"

| Marco walked up to the divination professor's office. He had missed the tarot card reading and really needed some advice from the cards. He kindly knocked on her trap door and waited. He knew she was probably with Erikson or that new kid of theirs.

Carolyn saw that a bunch of people had come to talk to the professor, so she sat down, outside the door and waited for it to clear out of people.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Sloane W. Fordyce First Year | Cheesy Mac Kennedy was wandering along the seventh-floor corridor after exiting her common room when she happened to walk by the divination tower. Realizing she hadn't yet gotten a chance to speak properly with Professor Blaylock-Erikson, Kennedy began walking up the stairs. When she reached the top, she saw a short line beginning to form. She thought about going back down the stairs and coming back another time, but then realized she didn't want to have to climb those stairs any more than she already did. So Kennedy waited at the top of the staircase, hoping that the people before her wouldn't be inside terribly long. She was anxious to talk to Professor Blaylock-Erikson, especially to congratulate her on her new baby. Kennedy leaned against the wall and waited for the professor to be free.

Jacqueline approached the top of the stairs gazing at the long line awaiting the office. "Man I new I should have came here earlier" she whispered to herself. she leaned on the wall and opened her 100 magical plants and fungi.

| Nabs!Ama | | The Happy Hufflepuff Natasha looked up from her lesson plans at the sound of people waiting outside. She tapped her wand on the parchment and watched as it rolled itself up tight and then sent it to the highest shelf on the bookcase behind her.
She flicked her wand and the trapdoor rose at the same time a silver step ladder descended.
"Enter." she called to all of them. Looks like a pot of tea is just what I need right now. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Sloane W. Fordyce First Year | Cheesy Mac Kennedy heard Professor Blaylock-Erikson's voice from inside her office, calling someone in. Did she want us all to enter? Or just the first person in line? Not quite sure if she should be entering through the trapdoor, Kennedy decided to give it a shot and if Professor Blaylock-Erikson wanted to speak to them individually, she would simply head back down. When she entered the office, Kennedy saw Professor B-E and smiled. A summer away from Hogwarts seemed to change a lot, and the fact that Professor Blaylock-Erikson was a new mommy, was definitely a big change. Kennedy felt a greater fondness toward her divination professor, perhaps because her own mother had just delivered a new child over the summer as well, and Kennedy felt that connection between the two women. Kennedy greeted Professor B-E with a grin, "Hello, Professor. How was your holiday? Probably busy with a new baby, huh?"

| Nabs!Ama | | The Happy Hufflepuff Natasha smiled warmly at the young Ravenclaw and beckoned for the child to join her on the sofa. The student's question made her laugh as she began pouring cups of tea, "Yes, of course, quite busy...nobody ever talks about how busy you get with new babies..." And new husbands. She grinned at the girl, "Now, Kennedy, what brings you all the way up here? Come to see if you could get a head start this term?" she winked, knowing too well of this particular girl's ambition. |
