| | |  Professor Armand Erikson's Office
The Herbology office had been strangely redecorated. Stepping in there are sounds of Mozart and Beethoven, for those who would recognize it. Most often playing is Moonlight Sonata. The walls are lined with black velvet, draped in blue and silver cloth. The atmosphere is dark and humid with exotic plants all around, small suns hanging over each one in different intensities. Some are rare, and some don't look familiar at all. At the back of the office is an oak desk with dark varnish and a black marble top. The chairs are dark oak with plush blue velvet and silver trim.
Behind the desk sits Professor Erikson, smiling softly and inviting you in. He's fairly pale for someone who works outdoor often (though fairly normal for the average person), with contrasting long black hair. Some of it falls into his face, but the rest is pulled back in a low ponytail. His soft blue eyes are accepting of the questions you have. As you have a seat he lowers the music volume.

Cassandra pulled her head away from his hand. "I will do my best, professor, to get along with people I usually do not." Her head was still hung... "But if this means Xana," Cassandra said with a sigh, "that will not happen. Completely out of the question. I will NOT speak to her. She feels she is right all the time and I just cannot handle her." She looked up, her eyed glistening, and added "Sorry."

He sighed. "What is it with you and Xana? You were doing well enough before, and now it seems you are at odds once more. I will admit that she can be... frustrating, from time to time. And you are both stubborn, so I imagine that clashes happen. Despite her" stubborn pushiness where it doesn't belong "shortcomings, what problems do you keep having with her?"

"She thinks she's better that me, at everything, she doesn't know what she is talking about half the time, she instigates me, and she called me, Me! a Hufflepuff..." Cassandra seemed that pained her more and more. "ME Professor! No, I've tried being courteous, but that didn't work, and now... she's hostile to me."

"Why didn't you attempt to have this dispute of yours mediated, Cassandra?" He groaned, shaking his head. "You two do seem to manage approximate circles of friends, which means that there is something compatible to the two of you. And while I can't say I've been particularly pleased with her in recent days, it's very likely for the same reasons I become frustrated with you at times. The only difference right now is that your stubbornness is only affecting your life. Hers could end-- disrupt mine. I'm sure you could find other similarities as well and get along if you both actually tried."

She said with a growl, "Call me stubborn, call me rude, call me inept, but I will not try to become friends with her. I don't care if she's my long lost twin sister, she's graduating this year. Do you know what it's like to be second to her in everything?" Her hand squeezed Alex's again.

Ah ha! Armand raised a brow. "Everything? I'll admit that you've fallen second in points, but you don't take the same classes as her. Am I correct?"

Alex squeezed her hand in return. And the truth will set you free!!!

She said closing her eyes again, "I don't take muggle studies or flying." She told him, "other than that... I trail behind her... at everything." You gave me your prize roses... but Xana was the only one, whom you gave with the key to your office. She hid her thoughts well...

"You don't trail behind at everything." He sighed. "Okay, aside from the points, give me some examples. Where are you trailing behind?" Goodness, it's like an embellished sibling rivalry, he thought to Alex.

Goodness, it's like an embellished sibling rivalry, he thought to Alex. Ya I know. Welcome to my life. Any wonder why after 5 years of this I needed a break? Alex thought back.

"Forget it," she said thinking of both Alex and Erikson. She couldn't very well put this into words... She had you in the palm of her hand, and still Alex wants to be around her...

"I'm not just going to forget it, Cassandra. I--" There was a familiar feeling and like hard barriers Erikson's mind was completely shut off from Alex. His features became emotionless, though there was some anxiety to his movements, as though there was something that demanded his attention. He made his way around to his desk, pulling out a small key and unlocking the bottom-most drawer. He pulled out what seemed to be a hand-bound leather tome, shuffling through the pages until he came to some blank ones. Something was being written there in elegant handwriting, which was nearly exactly like Armand's. Quote:
How do things go wrong so quickly? I'm back. We should meet.
Armand pulled a quill of his own, writing back. It looked quite like he was writing to himself. "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I will have to cut this short. Something urgent has come to my attention. Don't think that I'm going to let this one go, however."

"Oh?" she said venom in her voice, "I seem to rank second a lot." She told him... standing up and walking to the door. If that was Xana she was going to see red. "We can discuss this all you want professor... I'm not changing my mind." She turned to Alex. "That was for the both of you, by the way."

Some where quite, and safe. I'm to weary to be cautious right now.
Armand paled. "It... it may not be..." He could already feel the tightness in his chest. Some of the complete worry and despair leaked past his shield, but even that small trickle was enough to bombard Alex. Quote:
Our usual in Hogsmeade then. Can you make it there?
"And Cassandra, yes, you are second here. But this is one person that everyone... everyone will always be second to in my eyes. Because he is the most important to me. Because it is he who keeps me here, and keeps me sane. What little sanity I have left." He took down the wards as he continued to wait for the response. Quote:
Yes. I'll be waiting.
Quote:
I will be there soon.

Armand managed to shut down his walls tighter, though it produced a completely blank demeanor. <Forgive--> He stopped, reminding himself he needed to speak English. "Forgive me, Alex. I was not ready for my own response. I hate to rush you, but I do not believe my friend is well. If you are doing alright now, I must ask you to leave so I can be on my way. And pray that I get there in good time."

Alex stood shakely to his feet. "It's ok...Been a while since i had to shield against that kind of onslaught." he took a shakey breath. "Cassandra I am going to need your help. i can barely see through the headache I have right now."

Cassandra glared at the professor. He wasn't going to see if Alex needed help? Had she been wrong about him?
"I'm here Alex, you may lean on me if you need," she said, "The professor needs to run to his friend's aid... the quicker we leave his office the better, luv." She told him plainly. Let Erikson think what he must.
