"I'm going to go around in rags and beseech the authorities to take pity on me," Shel grinned in response.

Shel grinned at Professor Clark's words - he could expect something bigger and better every time! - but the grin quickly faded away as he realized how serious the situation was. And how not good, too. Uh uh.

He took back his wand, a frown lingering on his countenance for half a second before he shook it off. "Thank you for your concern and help, sir," he said respectfully. At least the wand was whole again. "I'm sure it won't kill anyone, now. It might give them a broken leg or two, but I'm pretty certain it won't kill anyone."

What an optimistic view of it all, eh? Well, that was Sheldon Ambrose for you, my dear man (or woman).

"Come in!" Fabian croaked at the resounding knock.

"Oh that's fine, Just as long Nurse Numel doesn't run out on skelegrow potion we can always rearrange them back" Fabian grinned back at Shel. "Though do try and direct it towards.. umhm", he was a teacher, and in no means should he be saying this to students, less a lone his house students. He glanced up at Cooper's portrait on the wall and smiled, "people more deserving if you catch my drift" he gave the boys a wink and glanced silently towards the door.

Shel grinned. "Yes, sir, the job will carried out - err, I mean I'll be sure to take care my wand does nothing it shouldn't do. Thanks for your time again."

He made his way towards the door, making a cheerful exit. His wand might not be in top-notch condition, but at least his mood was fine. And, sometimes, that was all that mattered.

Seeing that everything had been taken care of, Cale followed his friend out the door. "Thanks for your help, Professor," he said with a grin.

Wait, he mused thoughtful. Nurse Numel was the nurse at Hogwarts. Surprisingly he never went to seek the new nursing unit at Cooper school, that worried him slightly, what if this new person doesn't give him the same treatment Nurse numel did for his back? Oh spite! He must do something about it.. he stood up as the boys decided to leave.

"Your very welcome boys! Come for lemonade soon!"

He waited for a bit longer, wondering where the person who knocked for audience disappeared to. But since none showed up, he hesitantly peaked down at his watch, "my weekend started" he smiled and headed for his desk.

After scribbling 'You'll find me in Hogsemade' on a parchment, Fabian stuck it on his door. Locked his office, and left for his quarters to change.

"Hello professor." Ray said after he knocked on the door and entered. "Can I have a moment of your time?" Ray asked.

Jason knocks on the door."Professor Clark, may I talk to you?" Jason sort of crying as he asked.

Ignatius hadn't visited an office since the beginning of the year. And that was Armand's. Now who was this Fabian Clark? Marco had said he was good. Maybe he would feel the same thing. But Marco had said he taught CoMC. Ancient Runes did seem a better class. Less mud.

Carefully he knocked three times on the Professor's door, hoping the Professor was a nice one.

Fabain whistled his way down the first floor corridor, there was something very different about him upon closer inspection. He's more .. cheerful than usual.

"Ahh!" he croaked upon noticing the three boys, "we need a Ravenclaw and we have a full house!" he mused and unlocked his office door and took the Hogsmeade sign off. "What can i do for you boys, please make yourself more comfortable".

Ignatius heard a whistling, that most definitely wasn't coming from inside the room. He turned around. He saw where the whistling was coming from, and whom. "You...I met you in Diagon Alley. You were with three other guys, one of which I met at the platform." He sized the man up. Probably a bit bigger than his usual associates.

"Ignatius Potter," he said, following the man into his office. He stayed standing rather than sitting down.

Fabian's right brow shot up in query, he clearly didn't remember the boy though he was rather familiar. He wasn't even sure if remembering him at the moment was a good idea. He liked the mood he was in, "pleasure to meet you Ignatius, would you like some lemonade?"

"Pleasure to meet you too Professor Clark," Iggy smiled, "I am fine thank you Sir. I had a drink a short while ago. I had a glass of chilled water. Rather refreshing. Lemonade isn't quite to my taste."

"Suit yourself, your about to miss the most tasteful lemonade ever in creation!" he said dryly as he poured himself some lemonade then drank from it. "What can I do for you Ignatius?"

"The most tasteful in existence? That I do not believe. Since the carbonated aspect of lemonade does not give it a boost. Were I to drink lemonade I would have to say that it has to be without the bubbles. According to muggle scientists the carbonation may be a cause of cancerous cells," Iggy shrugged.

"Marco said that you should be one of those I visit. You, a Professor Vindictus and Armand. So I have one down, and now another." He rested on his heels, "So how do you find the study of runes and runology?"

Fabian continued to drink out of his glass as his free hand came to rest on his hip, he remembered the kid now. He was the lippy kid he encountered in the Weasley's shop. "Beg to differ" he exclaimed, "the fact that your listening to muggles for advice puts different aspects on things lad" with a smile he brought his glass up for a cheer. "Ahh Marg-" he corrcected himself, "Marco, how's the boy doing? Where is he now?

"You do not believe in what the muggles say?" Iggy questioned, "There is your problem. They have much to say. And for one to merge with their community, one must listen to what they have to say." He eyed the Professor, "Last I heard from him, he was fine. Working. He plays for the Magpies now. Unless he moved since I have been here, and the owl ban has been on. My father would have told me had that happened though."

Jason kmoocks on Professor Clark's door.

"Come in" Fabian murmured dropping the book he was reading thoroughly with a thud on his desk.

" I have a question and like a favor from you if possibe" Jason tells Professor Clark.

"Ah Jason" Fabian smiled and motioned for the Gryffindor to take a seat. "A question i'll be more than glad to answer... a favor, if i can. Now what do you have on your mind Mr. Weasley".

My question is and even though I am Gryffindor, why did not Cale( Lissy LongBottom) or Anna ( MuggleBornWitch3) not lose any points or get detention for talking back to a professor who happens to be a a ministry professor- Thonton.? Jason asks. I think that is worse than casting a spell which happened to me and you know the rest." Jason told him. Also Irial ( NightShadows) went to the girls side and did not get punished" Jason said. "Others get suspended and I am completely baffled." Jason continued. "So again how come no loss of points or detention from him, either" Jason told Professor Clark. " I just feel picked on by the teachers and no one else gets in trouble in Gryffindor but me" Jason said.
"The favor I have to ask is being the Quidditch captain next season "Jason told the professor. " I know I can make the team more competetive than it was this year" Jason told the Professor. " I watched the practices and I seem to think the captain is too rough on them and I would encourage the team" Jason told him. " I have to ask you because I was not on the team this year and I know it was due to the actions of last term in the RavenClaw game" Jason told Professor Clark. ( Computer screwed up) I ended up almost hitting the seeker, the captain and was thrown off the team last year." Jason keps talking. "This not making the team was hard to take because I went from sub to starter and we did win the Quidditch cup when I played as a starter at beater" Jason told him. " I know that Anna is not the best seeker, she is better at keeper and Tori( MarfaMarfa) is a better seeker, so their may be others out of position, too" Jason tells him. "The captain also got sick and instead of leaving practice to another player, it was canceled" Jason kept talking. " I would have made practice or gave it up to someone who could run practice for me" Jason continued. " I know that I am a better player than most on the Quidditch team and I believe we could have won our game" Jason told Professor Clark " I believe unless I am madr captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, my playing days are over for good. " Can you please help me on both accounts?" Jason asks Professor Clark.
"Thank you for your time" Jason tells the professor.

Fabian's brows shot up in alarm as Jason started informing him of everything in one breath. Maybe it wasn't one breath, but it seemed as so to him. "Well" he murmured rubbing his temple after a moment of silence. "I want to thank you for your attentiveness to the Quidditch team, but i can't make any promises to who will get the position next year. Or the year after that. At this point it is unknown to me, but I can promise you to give your request consideration, and don't take my answer as a 'yes'. Rest assured there will be other candidates to be compared with".


He ruffled his hair, then leaned forward on his desk. "Jason, no one is picking on you. I'm sure it's so. Unless your referring to ministry teachers then I do caution you to stay away from them, they are rather eccentric" he trailed of with a frown. "I can't say why Thornton haven't dealt with those students appropriately, and I'm not Thornton to give you an answer on that. But knowing Thorton I'm glad the students got away with it in the first place" he shuddered mentally.

"Is that all what is bothering you?"

Bob knew that Fabian was the old CoMC professor. He was popping by to actually ask him something when he heard his name. Bob didn't bother to knock, he just stormed into the room, puffing loudly. "Oi Fabian. I wanted to talk to you. But I just heard my name." Bob's eyes turned to see the Gryffindor Student standing there and turned back to Fabian. "So why would my name come up in discussion with a filthy little Gryffindor?

Thanks, that is all I need to hear Professor Clark" Jason told him.

"Very go-" he got cutoff in mid speech by the office door swinging open.

"Speak of the devil" Fabian swallowed in whispers and ruffled his hair, that was definitely a surprise. An unwelcome one at that. He cleared his throat, delaying response. "Now now, don't take it all out on the kid. I'm sure there's plenty out there appealing to your appetite. We were saying how wonderful you are" he lied shamelessly, that or deal with an angry Thorton for calling him and every other ministry person eccentric. He was really attached to his office's belongings.


"So what did you want to talk about?" he heaved heavily.
