| Term 21: January-April 2009 Term Twenty-one: The Ghosts (Sept 2067 - June 2068) |
12-20-2008, 04:39 PM
| | Professor Antonio Dumont's Office
Come up to the door of Professor Dumont’s office and knock, the professor is usually in and is happy to talk to you about whatever you may have in mind, especially if it involves muggle studies.
As you walk through the door of Professor Dumont’s office, you are struck by the fact that at least part of this room appears not to be that magical at all, but looking rather like an office you might see on muggle television (had you ever had the chance to see muggle television, that is!) The main feature of the room is a very large wood desk with a nice comfortable chair behind it, a purple, cushiony chair. There are a couple chairs in front of the desk, which appears as though it may be oak, both these chairs are a dark green velvet, padded, and appear very comfortable as well. The rug on the floor is a forest green color, imprinted with a variety of flowers in many different colors, it is very relaxing and lovely, one of the prettiest rugs you could ever find. Professor Dumont inherited this rug from his family, it is an heirloom.
On the right hand wall you notice many photos calling to mind muggle entertainers. There are photos of various muggle rock bands from the ‘60’s and ‘70’s including the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Who, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin (it turns out that Professor Dumont loves this type of music). There are pictures of Elvis Presley as well, along with such muggle icons as Marilyn Monroe and James Dean, Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Perry Como, and many others.
On.the wall immediately behind the desk are some photos that are obviously personal. There are pictures of a very old castle with high pirouetting towers, this is Castle Dumont, Antonio’s family home. You gather that it is located somewhere in France, and you would be correct. You will also find many of the pictures that move and talk, wizarding pictures, there is a man and a woman in their 50’s, Professor Dumont’s parents. There is a new picture added this year, one which has a special place right over the Professor's desk. This picture is of a very pretty little girl, no more than 2 years old, with curly dark hair and a somewhat familiar look about her. You would be guessing correctly if you guessed that this is a picture of Professor Dumont's daughter, Antonia Michelle, who he has just become reunited with during the term break. But that's a whole other story, one you may or may not be lucky enough to hear (probably not!)
Along the left wall there is a long table which goes the length of the room. On this table are many muggle items to look at and perhaps even play with, including computers, video monitors that might even pick up muggle television (who knows?), video game systems, cell phones, iPods, skateboards, yoyos, Playdough, Legos, various board games, and a huge variety of books on all subjects. Your eyes fall on this table longingly, perhaps you might have the chance to play with some of these items yourself if you are very good some time, you never know! |

"Well, no, I would never want to do that!", Antonio laughed. "I was just disappointed when I found out about your being in detention again, because you have so much more potential than that. It's like you are doing things which are beneath you, and it's disappointing to see that. That's all. So, yes, Sakura was correct in that. And, as far as something being seriously wrong, I suppose you could say that. You see, the curse says that no Moiser boy can graduate from school unless the parts of the letter are found and the curse is broken. That's why so much misfortune has fallen on your family, and why John is now keeping the letter together. My job is just to help you wiht the search in any way I can."

Reese walked up to Professor Dumont's door and gently knocked 3 times.She stepped back as she waited to walk in. She has been meaning to come by and talk to the Professor. She has met most of the new Professors and now it was time to say hello to some of the ones she had last year. Specially the muggle studies Professor.Muggle studies was one of her favorite subjects.

Jack shook his head, something he'd been resisting to do for ages, he smiled when his focus came back straight away "What do you mean, beneath me?" he asked "I can't graduate from school?" he asked closing his eyes, he was resisting the very strong urge to throw something, he'd always been the one who didn't cry, John cried while Jack threw things, two twins, same fate, different ways to get there, Jack shook his head again "Misfortune?" he asked curiously. Jack turned his head at the sound of someone at the door and laid down "Go on, we can talk when you are ready" he mumbled.

"We will," Antonio promised, then went and answered the door. "Hello there," he greeted a girl who stood outside, a girl wearing Slytherin robes. "I'm Professor Dumont, would you like to come inside?"
Antonio wasn't sure how he should deal with explaining things to Jack, he knew that he sometimes had bouts of temper and he didn't want to stir any of those emotions up again. Yet, Jack needed to know what had gone on before, he had a right to. It was just a question of breaking the news to him the right way.

Jack nodded "Ok" he stared at Dumont's back while keeping quiet, Jack knew Dumont had something important to say, but he didn't know how to say it, Jack closed his eyes and half drifted off to sleep where he was sat.

Antonio knew that it was safe for Jack to rest now, that he probably needed sleep, he had been running all over the school and who knows how long it had been since he had actually had a good night's sleep? He produced a pillow and a light blanket and proceeded to make Jack more comfortable.

Reese heard the Professors voice and opened the door to his office.She walked inside his office and closed the door behind her and then turned around.When she saw another students was in here she said,"Oh,I'm sorry.I didn't know you...were busy.I can just come back,Professor."She smiled when the Professor introduced himself."It's nice to meet you,Professor Dumont.I'm Reese Northway."

Jack opened an eye and smiled "Dont worry about me" He told the girl "Thanks" he addressed Dumont before he fell asleep, he was so tired, he didn't know why, cause he'd not been told what he'd done that day, but, it felt good to sleep for a while. He pulled the blanket over his head to keep the noise and light out.

"No, no, it's perfectly fine," Antonio said. "It's very nice to meet you, Reese. That's a very nice name, and I'm always happy to meet new students. Jack here has just had a bit of a rough time lately, it's been a while since he's slept, and I guess he's just had the need to crash for a little bit. It's been a bit of a strange term so far, what with the ghosts returning and everything. But I'm sure you already know about that?"

Reese smiled at the Professor when he complimented on her name."Thanks,"she said."Aw.Well,he needs his sleep." She looked back over at Jack then back to the Professor. "Oh,yes.I know about those ghosts.I sort of got... attacked by Peeves a few days ago." Gah.How she HATED Peeves now. It took her hours to get those dungbomb smell off over her.

"You did?", Antonio asked, not really that surprised. "I've had my share of problems with Peeves, as well. Let's just say that he paid a rather unpleasant visit here to my office with an inkwell." He sighed, he still had not been able to figure out a way to erase the ink Peeves had used on the nameplate on his door, and he was unable to remove the nameplate to replace it with another one. It was a bit of an embarassment.

She never want to smell a dungbomb ever again."Inkwell?Oh...gosh.I'm sorry to hear that he messed up your stuff."

"Oh, don't worry, it's no big deal. I'm sorry he threw dungbombs at you," Antonio said. "Peeves has no class." He laughed, the things Peeves did were pretty unbelievable, even for a ghost.

Piper slowly walked down the corridor toward Professor Dumont's office, she had been.. okay well she had sorta been stalking him.. slightly. She had just seen him come down the hall way. That was all. Nothing odd or anything like that.
She knocked on the door, and then opened it. " Professor Dumont? Are you back?" She asked softly, as she sighed as she saw two other people in there. Dear Merlin!! What did she have to do to get to talk to him by herself? She asked herself, resisting the urge to flail about. Oh well, at least looked like he might have some time, one boy was asleep on the couch.
She wondered briefly why she was going through all this trouble, Oh yeah.. she had the hugest crush on him.. She sighed a bit and looked up at Professor Dumont, it would all be worth it.. just being able to talk to him.

Jack was starting to get restless, he moaned quietly in his sleep as he dreamt about John, Liam and Jose, he started to kick a little bit and twist his head with a worried look on his face, this was not a good dream, not at all, he didn't like it, not one bit, tears flowed down his face, but he wasn't aware of it, he was still dreaming that awful dream, would anyone try to wake him?

Sakura who had remained unobserved up until that point deduced that she needed to do something and fast. Jack was not the person to cry, therefore whatever was making him do so was obviously an awful apparition appearing in his dream. Walking over to him she shook him gently at first, however when that seemed to have not effect she shook him harder and began to whisper in his ear. Hoping that even if she could not wake him she could at least change what he was dreaming about.

Antonio heard another knock on the door and opened it. This time it was Piper, who had come back to visit again. "Well, hello!, Piper," he said, gesturing that it was okay for her to come into the room. "Sorry for all the confusion that's been going on this term, things have been in a little bit of an uproar but everything is calmed down now. This is Jack, Sakura and Reese." He gestured to the three people who were in his office, though Jack was still sleeping. It was obvious that he needed his sleep, and hopefully he would be feeling better when he awoke. "How have you been?," he asked. "I got your note and was looking forward to speaking with you again."

Jack woke up "NO!" he gasped, he was shaking, tears were falling down his face, Jack tried to stop them, but he couldn't, he buried his face in the blanket so no-one saw he was crying "Sorry" he muttered loudly in case he'd scared anyone.

Antonio saw Jack experiencing some sort of violent dream, then suddenly come to. Everything happened so quickly that he didn't have time to react. "What happened?", he asked. "Are you okay?"

"All of you are going to be okay," Antonio promised Jack. "We are going to make sure of that. I am going to help you boys find that missing piece of the letter and put it together so that the Moiser curse will be broken." Now Antonio understood what Jack was having a nightmare about. He was determined to help in any way he could.
Antonio said, "Excuse me one moment." He opened the door and saw that Barry was there, a person he remembered very well from their quest a few terms back against the evil Claxtons. "Barry, how have you been?", he greeted his friend warmly and held the door open for him to enter.

"Anyway sir, do you have somthing that I could put a lock onto and practice unlocking it? Something unusual" he asked, always thinking about homework
