| | |  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 I don't have to see her right now anyway." Sakura gave him a shy grin before looking down at her necklace again she so loved it. Perfect so Perfect.

"I guess so. After we're finished here. If she starts something fight back. I don't want you hurt again. And believe me she definitely wishes you harm. She may be openly hostile or she may not be but she doesn't like you. Although she loves John." He smiled at her again. Guh. She really had to stop turning to mush.

Jack nodded "Ok, but I don't know many spells" he told her "I will make sure you are safe first though" Jack promised

Umm then I guess you'll just have to rely on your reflexes because Ruby knows many spells that are considered Dark Arts and she doesn't hesitate to use them. I should know." Sakura muttered the last part, she still couldn't believe that Ruby had used the Dark Arts on her.

Jack trailed off angrily "used a spell on you" Jack growled, his face became screwed up, his eyes narrowed and his hand balled into a fist.

Besides I can hold my own against Ruby. I know the countercurses to most of the spells she knows. I also know the spells she knows. However she may know some that I don't know." Gently she took his hand in her own and unclenched his fist.

Jack shook his head "That's not the point" he told her, allowing her to unclench his fist he sighed and tapped his fingers on the sofa "I don't think I can ignore what she did to you" Jack frowned

"What do you think she did to me? It may not be the point but it is the truth." Sakura threaded her fingers through Jacks and smiled enchantingly at him. She hoped that nothing would go wrong but if Ruby was still hellbent on revenge it probably wouldn't go well.

"I know what she did, she cast a spell on you 'langlock' which sticks your tongue to the roof of your mouth" Jack face was contorted with rage, when he looked down at her enchanting smile, he softened up "Ok, I can wait for when you are ready" he promised.

"She did and it was wrong, very wrong. But I am safe and sound and I'm with you." She moved closer as if to prove her point, before whispering a thank-you and turning her glance to the other occupants of the room.

Antonio looked at Jack and Sakura, focusing his attention back and forth between the two. "The first thing we have to think about is safety. I don't want anything happening to any of you students, though I understand why you are all involved. We just have to move carefully with this, not blow it, and everything should be fine." He was feeling a tiny bit strange since his visit to the mirrror, but he couldn't explain why.

"That's what I'm worried about. We have absolutely no idea of what may happen, therefore we can hardly be prepared for the worst, since we don't know what the worst is. However I have absolutely no intention of going looking for danger." Sighing slightly she settled into a more comfortable position.

"Excellent. That's what I was hoping to hear," Antonio told Sakura. "Rushing into danger is the last thing we want to do." He looked at Jack as he said this. "We can win as long as we are careful, but I do emphasize the word careful. This guy has had a lot of experience in hurting people and he's not someone to take lightly by any means." Antonio had a fear that Jack was going to try and rush into this thing without thinking about the consequences, and he was grateful that Sakura was with him to stop him from doing something crazy, his brother John was pretty levelheaded as well. He could only do so much, Sakura and John were with him a lot more than he was, so he was happy for that.

Jack sighed "I am not looking for danger, danger looks for me" Jack sighed "And I can handle pain, I've handled it all my life" Jack admitted.

"I don't doubt that he is. From what you and Barry said earlier. That man makes my blood run cold." Sakura shivered slightly as she said that, adding emphasis to her words.
"Of course you don't look for danger but you are a little impulsive at times. That's all."

"Well said," Antonio agreed. "Once you learn to control that impulsiveness, you are going to realize the true greatness inside yourself. And yes, I'm fine," Antonio said. "Thank you for asking."

Jack blinked hard "I don't have true greatness in me" he shook his head "Sure, anytime" he mumbled

"Yes impulsive. You jumped into the Lake and nearly drowned because you didn't think about your actions first. God you nearly died in front of me and there was nothing I could do since I can't swim that well. Professor Dumont saved you but barely. It tore John apart to not know if you were going to wake up or not. It tore me apart too." Sakura said looking down at her hands.

Jack stopped with a glance at the people around the room "so stupid sometimes" Jack covered his tracks.

Aloud she said, "Your not stupid, just impulsive, you thought that Liam's part of the letter was in the lake. Even though we had used summoning spells and nothing happened you were convinced it was at the bottom of that lake. Suffice it to say it wasn't there."

That does not make you stupid." In a more airy tone she said, "Besides I would never go out with someone stupid. What would that do to my image?" She even stuck her nose up in the air.
