| | Professor Macadrian A. Shackleton's Office
Inside Professor Macadrian Shackleton's office is a large, heavy mahogany desk, behind which stands a tall purple suede armchair. A soft green quilt rests over the back of it. On the desk sit photo frames with numerous moving pictures of her loved ones, crystal vases filled with purple roses and orange lilies (Professor Shackleton's favorites), numerous small white candles in glass votive holders, an ink well and a peacock feather quill, a fresh blank piece of parchment, and plenty of books on the subject of Arithmancy. These belongings are all very much the same from previous years at Hogwarts; however, there are also an array of sugar quills, candy wrappers, chocolate frogs, and an ornately carved medium-sized wooden chest with a heavy lock upon it that looks inpenetrable.
The wall behind her desk consists entirely of shelves filled with books, most of which relate to Arithmancy, although there is an entire section for books on other school subjects, particularly Ancient Runes, Divination, and Astronomy, and some new books on topics not taught in the school, such as healing and medicinal potions.
By the large windows, bedecked with beautifully-ornate gold curtains, stands a mahogany coffee-table covered in even more Wizarding magazines than in previous terms. Where an array of armchairs used to be, now sits a squashy chaise lounger and a small, comfortable looking couch, over which is draped several thick quilts. Next to the chaise is a wooden cabinet with wooden doors, containing mugs, glasses, and small plates for entertaining company, such as students or other staff members, as well as an assortment of sugary snacks. In the fireplace across the room is a fresh pot of hot cocoa warming above the fire and another pot simmering a different liquid...
Numbers no longer float around the room as they did in previous terms. The office has a different feeling to it than before... not a bad feeling, just different. A bit less light and free, a bit more serious and careful.
Of course, you do not see any of the office's contents until you knock on Professor Shackleton's door and she greets you to come in... |

Macadrian laughed an unhappy laugh, "Bad is an understatement, for sure. He left my office to go see Angela in the library. I'd say that at least qualifies as 'horrible.'" Macadrian swallowed to force the lump in her throat back down.
Upon hearing that a student was waiting in the hallway, she grew concerned. "Oh dear. I'm in no fit state to see a student! My face is all splotchy and it is so obvious I've been crying. Oh goodness." Macadrian paced her office a bit, trying to think of how to handle the situation. With a resigned sigh, Macadrian decided, "Well, just send the student in. I can't neglect my job because my personal life is in shambles. But do me a favor? Try to keep their eyes on you and not lingering on me until my face isn't quite so puffy?"

"Don't you have some eye-drops and makeup in your desk? Spend a few minutes fixing yourself up and help yourself to a few chocolates, too," Max said and gave her a brotherly hug. "When you feel ready, that's when I'll let Dominic in to see you."

Hogwarts RPG Name: Sloane W. Fordyce First Year | Cheesy Mac "Oh, right, I forgot those were in there. I can't even think straight right now!" Hurrying to her desk, Macadrian flung open the top left drawer and began rummaging, "Make-up, make-up, make-up. Where is the make-up? Aha!" She tossed the compact on top of the desktop and continued in her search, "Eye drops. Where are the eye drops? I can't find the eye drops. Stupid eyedrops. Where the hell-oooooo eye drops! I found 'em."
Macadrian popped open her compact and began powdering her face, trying to cover the redness around her eyes and lips with powder. It wasn't a perfect solution, but it certainly helped. Dropping two eye drops in each eye, Macadrian watched as the redness ebbed away and her eyes returned to their normal bright white coloring. She turned to Max for his opinion, "How do I look? Convincing enough to speak with a student?"

"Um, dim the lights near your desk so that there is some shadow," Max suggested and walked towards the door. "And take three deep breaths. I'll stay in the room while you talk to Dominic, just in case...."
He winked and lifted the spell on the door. Opening the door, he called out to the waiting Hufflepuff student. "Dominic, please come in and have a seat. Professor Shackleton is ready to see you now," he said in a calm voice and took a seat inside the office near the door.

| YesJess! | Captain Goggles | Mama Badger | Eva's Soul Sister | An OG™ | It's all in the Numbers In half a mind to walk away and just forget about the whole 'see the head of house' thing, Dominic was muttering under his breath about the injustice of it all. Honestly; stupid flying professor... thinks he can just walk right in before him...
But just as he had made the decision to walk way, the door opened again and the Flying Professor said she's ready to see him. Joy! What did YOU do to make her ready? I was here first... I could have gotten her ready just as well...
Taking a deep breath, the fourth year flipped around and shuffled into the room, which was quite dim. "Um ... hi Professor." Well now, what was he supposed to say now? 'I smacked a boy in the head with acorns. Can I go now?'

Macadrian had just settled herself into her chair and popped down a piece of chocolate when Max invited the student into her office. Macadrian greeted him, "Ah, Dominic. What brings you to see me?" Nosy about what happened since class ended? Need help with the homework? Or maybe you didn't heed my advice and have gotten yourself into trouble? "Staying out of trouble, I hope? Please, have a seat." Macadrian gestured to the chairs assembled before her desk. She wasn't going to move this conversation to the couches until she knew if it was a good kind of meeting, or a bad kind of meeting.

| YesJess! | Captain Goggles | Mama Badger | Eva's Soul Sister | An OG™ | It's all in the Numbers The look on the Professor's face was quite worrisome. But not in the kind of way where she was reprimanding him; not at all really. Dominic sighed quietly, wringing his hands. How was he supposed to broach the subject? Obviously the letter never made it to her, which meant he was too soon.
Nodding, the fourth year bided his time in speaking by walking over towards the chair indicated and sitting down. "I suppose you haven't received the parchment yet from the Healer Intern?" Wait to see what she says first...

Nodding, the fourth year bided his time in speaking by walking over towards the chair indicated and sitting down. "I suppose you haven't received the parchment yet from the Healer Intern?" Wait to see what she says first... Macadrian observed the young man's behavior - the wringing of the hands, the sighing, and the unwillingness to come right out with why he was there - and concluded that this certainly was not going to be a particularly cheerful meeting. But then again, what in her life was truly cheerful anymore? Not much, it seemed.
No sooner than the boy had mentioned the letter from the Healer Intern did a owl come whizzing through the door and land on her desk, holding out its leg and the small piece of parchment attached to it. Macadrian untied the parchment and unfolded it upon her desk, scratching the owl on the head at the same time, before it flew away into the halls. The note read: Quote:
To the Hufflepuff Head of House,
Mr. Denton has exhibited poor signs of being a good student. He's pelted your prefect with Acorns in the eye causing said prefect to need a visit in the hospital wing. I expect the child be punished, and as he is in your house, YOU shall do it.
Sincerely
Cassandra C. Trelawney
Healer Intern
Macadrian didn't know what made her more angry, the fact that a student in her house assaulted a fellow badger, and a prefect no less, or the presumptuousness of the Healer Intern to assume that she would do the punishing of this boy! After all, Cassandra went from being her pupil last year to attempting to boss her around this year? Not gonna happen little lady.
Macadrian handed the parchment to Max and requested, "Look at this. Can you believe the nerve?"

Macadrian handed the parchment to Max and requested, "Look at this. Can you believe the nerve?" Max graciously took the note and began reading it. His blue eyes widened and he folded the note, giving it back to Macadrian. "I can't believe that a member of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team would actually assault another member of their House. Disgraceful. Since you are the head of Hufflepuff House, the punishment is yours to decide, Professor Shackleton," he said in a calm and rational voice. "However, I feel that an additional punishment of assisting Healer Intern Prefect Trelawney is also needed."

| YesJess! | Captain Goggles | Mama Badger | Eva's Soul Sister | An OG™ | It's all in the Numbers Dominic looked from one Professor to the next, wondering what they were going to say to him. The owl that flew in, the fourth year was sure belonged to the Healer intern. He frowned when the Arithmancy Professor just ignored him and showed it to the Flying professor, as though asking for help for what to do. Honestly; would they not even let him plead his case? It wasn't like it was necessarily on purpose, but rather for the purposes of HOMEWORK. "So?" he asked, as though waiting for his death sentence. Clearly his view didn't matter.

Macadrian accepted the letter back and directed her attention, and more specifically a piercing stare, toward Dominic, "Mr. Denton, I'd like for you to explain to me your side of the story. And I want the truth. Because if I even so much as suspect that you're lying, you'll be doing triple detentions, and I will take points from Hufflepuff, as much as I hate to do it."

Oh for the mother of Merlin! Why did she have to stare at him like that!? Gulping as quietly as possible, the fourth year looked down at the hands in his lap. The last thing he could stand to do right now was peer back into those hard blue-green eyes. That would just make things more difficult to say what needed to be said. "Um... well..." Dominic began softly. Where was he supposed to start again? Ah well, the beginning was probably best... "I was out by the Acorn tree, about to start doing my charms homework, right? And then Seth came along and suggested we do it together... levitate each others' wands. But I still wanted to do acorns, as I planned anyway, since that was probably easier.. Seth went first."
The Hufflepuff sighed quietly, sneaking a glance up to check her expression first. "He missed my wand though and levitated ME into the air, but didn't stop there... He spun me around all dizzy like, until finally when he put me down, I threw up. And well, that brings me to my turn..." "Levitating some acorns up without any problems, it was then that I got the best of me and well, sort of smacked him in the face with them. I hadn't meant to cause him a black eye, but just a little playful fun as he had with me..." Dominic finished, chewing slowly on his inner cheek.

| PHILOMATH ❅ not one atom, but two ♪ ♪ made of starstuff ❅ def main(): A snowy white owl suddenly flew through the window. The beautiful creaure circled the room twice, looking at everyone before landing gracefully on the professor's desk. He looked at her with his handsome amber eyes and tried to convey his owner's message, She's sorry. Please forgive her, she's not herself right now. There is something about his eyes that is almost human...
Apparently satisfied, he held out his leg, indicating that she should take the letter. Quote: Dear Professor Shackleton
In my last homework I said some things that were not meant to be said to anybody, but for some reason I trusted you enough to write them down. I just wanted to say that I'm sorry and I really regret whining about my troubles to you. Please, do not think I'm mad, I have a reason for my behavior.
Thank you for your time and patience, and I apologise again for dumping my problems onto you.
Your student,
Rachel D. Rider

As the corners of Macadrian's lips quivered, she bit onto her front lip to prevent herself from laughing at the boy's description of events. The mental image of the boy spinning around in midair was just too much to handle and the idea of watching acorns bounce off someone's face was quite entertaining. Fighting back her smile, Macadrian inquired, "So, if you were not the only one involved, why is our prefect not here too? He did, afterall, make you sick. It seems to me that both of you should be punished or neither should be."
Macadrian thought over what type of punishment she could give these boys that would make them work together and sort out their differences. She explained, "While I'm rather tempted to send you to the hospital ward to help clean out bedpans without magic, I'm going to instead request that you contact our lovely prefect with whom this incident occurred, and inform him that you two, together, need to request from the house elves in the kitchen if you can use the kitchen to bake cookies for me. Several dozen cookies. At least two dozen chocolate chip, one dozen peanut butter, two dozen sugar cookies..."
Macadrian then turned to Max and asked, "What kind of cookies would you like? I'll include a couple dozen in their punishment." Quote:

Apparently satisfied, he held out his leg, indicating that she should take the letter. Macadrian was distracted from her conversation with Dominic and Max by another owl, this one flying through her window. Something about this owl was very intense, almost as if he had a deeper connection with humans than most owls. As Macadrian accepted the letter from the snowy owl, she reached into the bottom drawer in her desk and retrieved an owl treat. Before feeding it to bird, she thought, I wonder how much sugar is in one of these...
As she read the student's note, Macadrian smiled in understanding. She knew what it was like to say things that she may not have meant to let escape, nor wanted anyone to hear. But in the heat of the moment, sometimes things just came out. Picking up her quill, Professor Shackleton replied: Quote:
Dear Ms. Rider,
There is no need to apologize for anything included in your homework. The purpose of Arithmancy is to discover ourselves and our environment in the deepest and most complete spiritual sense. The fact that your homework served as an outlet to express some overwhelming emotions you may have been feeling at the time, means that you've connected with the numbers and they hold true for you. I have no intention of discussing the content of your homework with anyone else, and if you ever need someone to speak with, feel free to stop by my office.
Best wishes,
Professor Shackleton

Dominic chewed his inner cheek nervously as he waited to see what his sentence would be. Though before the Professor gave any hint of what his punishment would be - she mentioned about the prefect. Oh no! Seth was going to kill him; he gave the guy a black eye AND got him in trouble... Whoops! "Well Professor, he was in the hospital wing being tended to by the nurse intern ... and whining of a black eye." The big baby.
Cleaning out the bedpans might not have been a bad idea; at least then he could work alone and at his own speed. Though wait... what!?! Contact Seth and ... work in the kitchens!? For Merlin's sake, they were teenage boys - NOT house elves! They'd be there for hours making over five dozen cookies!! This woman was seriously insane amongst other things the way she always seemed to need food.
Gulp! "I..." he started to say, sighing helplessly, the fourth year turned to the Flying Professor waiting to see what kind of cookies he'd request. Quote:

How will they know? Geez; what kind of question was that? Did the Professor not trust them or something? It wasn't like they'd hire someone to do that work, but it did sound quite enticing as an after thought. "Of course Professors." was all the hufflepuff said, waiting to see if there was anything else they needed.

"But how will we know that they baked the cookies?" Macadrian nodded and replied, "I know they're your favorite, but there was always a chance you would have wanted some other kind too. Two dozen double chocolate chip coming up." Macadrian began making a list for the boys to work on because the number of cookies was getting extensive.
In response to Max's question, Macadrian decided, "I'll write a letter to the house elves in the kitchen, requesting them to allow the boys access so that they can complete this pseudo-detention. And I'll ask them to watch over the boys to make sure they work together to make the cookies themselves, and also that they don't think about poisoning us by adding unhealthy ingredients." Quote:

2 dozen chocolate chip
1 dozen peanut butter
2 dozen sugar cookies
2 dozen double chocolate chip
1 dozen oatmeal
1 dozen white chocolate macademia nut
1 dozen ginger snaps
She explained, "I'd like each of these types of cookies baked with precision and attention to detail, and especially teamwork. There are plenty recipe books in the kitchens if you're unsure how to make these. And no funny business. The house elves will be watching to ensure you don't try to poison your head of house." Macadrian smiled and winked. "On you go. Better get to it soon."

Lucas walked up to Professor's Shackleton's office with a brown bag in his hand. She had been sick during the last class and he had something for her. He went up the the office door and knocked lightly.

| YesJess! | Captain Goggles | Mama Badger | Eva's Soul Sister | An OG™ | It's all in the Numbers Dominic listened as Professor Shackleton spoke to the Flying Professor first, telling him two dozen of his kind! Oh Merlin, that had to be at least eight dozen by now!! Sighing quietly at the thought of having to work with Seth on this, he hoped the Professor wouldn't add much more. Oh sweet... access to the kitchen; well perhaps this wouldn't be such a bad punishment after all...
Poison them? Wow; someone's overprotective...
Finally, at what seemed like ages, the Professor turned her attention back to him and handed him a list. Not seven, not eight, but TEN DOZEN cookies!! Oh his head of house was definitely out of her mind, or just ate a lot. What could she possibly want with so many cookies?!
Dominic nodded when she explained the rules of backing the cookies. "Of course Professor," he replied, the mischievous glint gone from his eyes when she said not to try and poison his head of house. Bummer! That foiled ALL his plans. "Thank you and see you soon. Bye."
Folding the list carefully, he slipped it into his pocket and nodded towards both Professors, before exiting the office. Now to find that Prefect... Joy!

As Macadrian reentered her office, she dropped her belongings on the floor by the door and immediately headed to the couch. Despite the fact that the only physical activity she'd done all day was walking up and down the aisles of her classroom a few times during her lesson, Macadrian's legs were cramping and her body ached with fatigue. Sluggishly dragging her feet from the floor onto the arm of the couch, Macadrian laid her head back on a pillow and sighed. How long will I feel this crummy before it goes away? I want my energy back.
Closing her eyes, Macadrian rested in silence upon her couch, wishing very much she had those chocolate chip cookies she should have received by now, and even more so, that she would have had the energy to eat them if they were there.

Vindictus was right behind her. "What was that stunt you were pulling in there? Those kids are being too analytical - saying rubbish about personal issues and such," he griped and walked over to a hidden cabinet in the wall and pulled out a chocolate bar. "And why am I always the one who has to watch you?" He handed her the chocolate bar and sat down on a chair across from the couch.

Macadrian sighed, not even bothering to open her eyes, "Max, it was not a stunt. The students are intelligent and were merely speculating about what the numbers might mean. If anything, you made yourself look guilty at the worse, and oversensitive at best, by reacting that way. Honestly, if you'd replied calmly to explain how you have happy marriage instead of hollering like a child, they might have been more inclined to believe you and seek an alternative explanation. Besides, when things refer to family - it doesn't always mean immediate. You do have extended family, remember? Maybe that was what they were trying to get at. But either way, I really don't have the energy for this discussion. I have a headache developing."
Macadrian felt his presence standing near her and opened her eyes to accept the chocolate bar from his hand. "Thank you. I needed this, but I have to admit, I'm getting a bit tired of the constant eating of chocolate. I think I may need to get in touch with someone at Mungo's because I don't know how much more of this I can take." Macadrian unwrapped the chocolate and bit off half the bar in one chomp.
With her mouth full, Macadrian added in response to his question, "And no one is forcing you to 'watch me'. You took that upon yourself when Fabian seemed to vanish from sight. Must be instinctual... or force of habit." Macadrian smiled weakly at her vague attempt at a joke.

"Don't get me started on Fabian," Max warned and sighed. "After I see that you're feeling better, I'm going to find him and knock some sense into him." He watched her nibble on the chocolate bar. "Immediate family, extended family - it's all the same. You should know that. Besides, watching you isn't that bad." He smiled warmly. "Perhaps we can try something besides chocolate - lemondrops, butterscotch, pound cake, cheesecake, and maybe a carrot cake. You know I could ask Janelle to bake you one - she told me how much you liked her recipe."

Macadrian chuckled and retorted, "After you knock some sense into him, send him to me so I can knock the stupid out of him. No, I kid." Macadrian finished off the other half of the candy bar with a large gulp before adding jokingly with a roll of the eyes, "Oh, not that bad? I'm glad my company isn't too horrible to handle."
As Max rattled off a list of food, Macadrian's stomach growled savagely. "Oh man, they all sound delicious. Especially the cheesecake. Please please have Janey make me a carrot cake. And pumpkin cheesecake. And maybe some pound cake. Oh, but that's a lot of food and I'd hate to make her busy with that when she has Ethan to take care of. I could just contact the house elves..."

"As a matter of fact, I spoke to her this morning," Max grinned. "She was asking about you and said that she was going to make you a care package of all your favorites. So I guess you're not gonna need this anymore." He reached over and swiped an elaborately embroidered bag off the coffee table, and watched a few gumdrops fall to the carpet.
