| | |  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! | |

"I believe it was," Antonio said. "Unless I'm missing something. John, isn't this the letter you were looking for?"

Barry stepped into the office and took a seat "So whats new?" he asked seeing Jhon and Jack run in and out of the room.

Jack walked back into the room with Sak, he was half carrying her, again, he let her get into a sitting position on the sofa before he sat down, he hid his face again though, he didn't want others to think he'd been crying

Antonio breathed a sigh of relief. "Remember, Jack, you can always come and talk to me, you, John, Sakura, and all of you, in fact." He looked around the room. "Barry, apparently John has pieced together the missing parts of the letter, but I'm not sure if we are any closer to solving this mystery than we were before."

Jack shut his mouth and leant on his hand, someone didn't like him, he couldn't pinpoint who it was, but someone in this room soooo didn't like him, Jack narrowed his eyes at everyone except Dumont and Sak, he knew they were fine, there hadn't been any bad feelings in the corridor, Jack's eyes lingered on Barry, ahah, got him, Barry didn't like Jack, he was a Jake lover... but Jack decided to say nothing.

Barry looked up as others entered "That wonderful! Well the part about the letter being found anyway, so is the curse broken?" he asked delighted they were one step closer to beating Claxton, if Jack had to help he wasn`t going to stop him, but then he saw Jack looking at him and he raised his eye brows "Is something wrong Jack?" he asked.

Antonio saw Jack look over at Barry suspiciously. He did get a sense that Barry was uncomfortable with Jack, but he hoped that would change in time. He knew it was only because of the way Jack had been acting, and really hoped he would straighten up soon. Once he did that, Antonio had a feeling he would make a lot of friends.
Antonio looked at Barry. "No, the curse isn't broken. It says we need to find the person responsible to break the curse, and that we will know what to do once that happens. That's the hard part." He sighed.

Jack smirked at Dumont "I don't think so" he replied in answer to his thoughts

"I thought we said it was Claxton? If it is then we will know what to do when we capture him, its not so hard" exclaimed Barry, he was fustrated you couldn`t say he was going to get his mother back and then say wait a second Quote:

Jack smirked at Dumont "I don't think so" he replied in answer to his thoughts "Indeed" said Barry to Jack returning the smile, maybe Jack just had two sides? Or maybe it was the curse? "You don`t think what" Barry said in response to what Jack said.

"I have no doubt it's Claxton, but the problem is that we have no idea where he is," Antonio said. "Or do we?" He looked at Barry, wondering if he had any news at all about Claxton's whereabouts.

It could be someone that knows Claxton well and so imitated him to give us the wrong idea." Sakura said in a quiet raspy voice. She'd cried so much earlier and you could see the tear tracks on her face. What she left unsaid was that she wasn't so certain that someone in the room wasn't betraying them.

"Indeed" said Barry to Jack returning the smile, maybe Jack just had two sides? Or maybe it was the curse? "You don`t think what" Barry said in response to what Jack said. Jack's face fell "Well, he seems to think that as soon as the curse is broken, things will straighten out overnight, it wont though, I mean, we have to kill a man and then go back to the way we were" Jack shook his head Quote:

Jack jumped when Sak started to talk, he turned to her "Sak... I'm..." Jack looked around the room before moving to hug her so he could get to her ear "Sorry" he whispered to her Sakura was stiff as a board when he hugged her. She had been truly frightened out in the corridor. However she slowly began to relax into his embrace and smiled at him when he apologised to her. She even moved to place her head on his shoulder, as if to say, it's okay, I forgive you, without letting everyone in the room know just what happened in the corridor and just how scared she'd actually been.

"So do I. It was frightening. But you didn't hurt anyone." She whispered.

"Maybe because you make it so hard to hate you. I don't know. Probably because normally when you're with me you act differently. You always seem to look after me. That plus you don't want to hurt me. If you did then maybe I wouldn't forgive you." She shrugged, as she didn't really know why she forgave him so easily all the time.

"Yet I'm not worried. I was at the time, I admit that because lying would do nothing. However I am not scared of you now. I admire you, the willpower it must take to deny the curse. Your strong and you wont hurt me." Sakura made sure to emphasis wont.

"You should, believe me." She smiled, wondering if a change of topic was in order.

"Why?" Jack asked "I'm not special" he shrugged "So, what do you want to talk about? Something like... where have we got to with the curse?" Jack asked

"You are special. To me, you are the most special person ever. I'm not sure. Maybe we could talk about something else." Sakura stuck her tongue out in a cute way.
