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!

Jack smiled and played with her hair "I will do anything for you" he muttered to her "I wont leave you, ever" he told her with a small smile "I promise" he said sincerely "Now, we have to hope John wakes up soon." Jack sighed.

Saiai · 02-20-2009, 08:58 AM

"Why does John need to wake up soon?" Sakura asked slightly confused. Obviously she had missed something while she was sleeping.

"To put me at ease" Jack told her "The professor knows what John and I saw, I told him, and I explained that I'm not leaving John, not for a second, why do you think I didn't go to see Jose, warn him?" Jack took a deep breath "I don't want to tell you, cause it will scare you, so, please, believe me" Jack smiled a little sadly.

Saiai · 02-20-2009, 09:15 AM

"If you say so." Sakura said a little uncertainly. "For Ruby's sake too I suppose."

Becky · 02-20-2009, 09:37 AM

Jack smiled sadly "I do, it's for all us, we can't carry on if I don't stay with John tonight" Jack told her "Try to sleep, you need more, I told you I'd be here when you wake up, and I'm saying it again, not that I need to, I will be here when you wake up" Jack promised

Saiai · 02-20-2009, 09:47 AM

"But I don't want to sleep." Sakura said petulantly while pouting up at him. She didn't want to miss anything, she always seemed to though when she fell asleep.

Becky · 02-20-2009, 10:01 AM

Jack raised his eyebrows "You wont miss anything, I will fill you in, like I just did, by telling you I told the professor about the vision, you wouldn't have heard what the vision was, even if you were awake" Jack told her "It'll be fine, you wont miss anything big"

Saiai · 02-20-2009, 10:03 AM

"I don't want to sleep. I don't I don't I don't." If she had been standing she probably would have stomped her foot. As it was she had her hands on her hips and was looking for all the world like a little child.

Jack laughed at her "You're doing it, and it's cute" he smiled "C'mon, I'll give you a hug if you go to sleep" Jack told her "And when you wake up, if it's the morning, we can go outside and talk for a while" Jack blinked lazily while holding out his arms for Sak to hug him and lie down.

Saiai · 02-20-2009, 10:22 AM

Sakura launched herself into his arms, she loved hugs. She even ignored the cute comment. Nuzzling his robes slightly she settled in his arms and put a thumb in her mouth, realising what she did she quickly removed it from her mouth and hoped that no-one else had noticed. "You ish warm." She mumbled sleepily. "Talk? About fun stuff?" She asked, she liked fun stuff. She also wouldn't mind being sung a lullaby. She liiiikkkkked lullabies.

Jack laughed silently at her "I am, we can talk about whatever you want to" he smiled "Oh, no, I don't sing with company around" he told her "Maybe another day, when we're on our own" he told her quietly.

Saiai · 02-20-2009, 10:36 AM

"No singing?" Sakura asked and pouted. But mummy and daddy would always sing her a lullaby, every night before she went to bed they would tuck her in and sing her a lullaby. Sakura blinked sleepily and shook her head slightly. That wasn't now though. They'd stopped doing that when she was three and it was discovered she was anemic. She really did revert back when she was tired. Oh well at least he was holding her. She started to drift off, hoping that nobody would talk, at least not until morning.

Jack shook his head "Nope, not today" he smiled as she fell asleep, he liked it when she slept, she was cute.

Saiai · 02-20-2009, 11:03 AM

Sakura's thumb gradually made it's way into her mouth as she slept. She buried herself further into Jack shivering slightly in her sleep. She was dreaming of a little girl, but she couldn't see her features very well. But she could tell that there was happiness.

Becky · 02-20-2009, 11:12 AM

Jack smiled and grabbed a blanket from his bag, then he covered Sak with it, taking care to cover her mouth so no-one would see her thumb in her mouth, Jack smiled as he saw what she was dreaming about.

She turned her bright brown eyes back to the professor as he asked about her. "Oh I've been really good sir. I made the Quidditch team. I'm the seeker for Slytherin so I am really excited about that." She told him with a smile.

She nodded at Professor Dumont. "Yes sir. I love Coke. I'm not really a Pepsi fan. We spend more time in the muggle world that we do in the magical world sometimes." She told him. Her family loved the muggle world. They house contained just as many muggle things as magical ones.

"You made seeker?", Antonio asked. "Wow, that's pretty impressive. You must be really fast, and really good, then. When I played I was a beater, so you know I wasn't that fast." He laughed. "And I agree with you. I far prefer the taste of Coke over Pepsi any day." He could see that Paris was familiar with muggle things more so than most magical children were, which was good. "I bet you recognize a lot of the items I have here, a lot of the toys and things," he said. "Am I right? Perhaps you might be able to assist me with some of these things in the classroom some time, you never know."

Antonio looked over and saw that Sakura was not sleeping, with Jack watching over her. That was good, both of them needed their rest.

Jack smiled as he saw Dumont look over, Jack stroked her hair and gave John another worried glance before sighing slightly.

Antonio looked over and saw that Sakura was not sleeping, with Jack watching over her. That was good, both of them needed their rest.

Her chest swelled up with pride as he seemed impressed over her making the Quidditch team. "Yes sir I did. Oh I am very fast. Though I am faster on my feet Anna chased me all over the 7th floor trying to hex me and she couldn't keep up with me." She told him proudly. "You play as well?" That was good to know. He might enjoy a few tickets to a game sometime, she thought to herself. "Well sir I hope that you come out to our first game and see how fast I am." She smiled.

She would be so nervous if she knew he was there, but she wanted him to see her play. "Oh of course. I know a lot of things you talk about in your class, but I love learning more about muggles. My family has a slight obsession with muggles things especially their fashion and DVDs." She told him. They had a family movie night every Saturday night. It was always fun. "Oh Professor it would be such an honor to help you with your lessons." She said excitedly. Her heart started to beat faster at the thought of standing up there in front of her peers right beside Professor Dumont. Her eyes took on a faraway look as the thought of how sweet that truly would be.

Slytherin Fox · 02-25-2009, 06:56 PM

"Well, I used to play many years ago," Antonio said, remembering the joy of flying down the pitch on his broom while aiming a bludger towards the opposing side. He loved the feel of being on a broom, and remembered what it was like to this day, it was a thrill like no other. "Perhaps I shall come and root for you in your game," he told Paris.

Antonio smiled. "There may come a time when I will need some people to help me with something, and I shall keep you in mind when that time arises," he promised. He looked over at Jack, he had promised him that there would be something for him to do to help out, as well. He certainly needed enough help with that final exam he was planning, and he would be able to use both Paris and Jack in some way, he was certain. "The muggles are truly fascinating, aren't they?", he asked. "My family kept me away from all things of a muggle nature, but then I found out about them from some kids here at Hogwarts when I started going, of all things. I became fascinated with them as a result, and really got immersed in their culture to the point that I lived amongst and worked as a muggle. Can you beat that?" He laughed. The students all probably thought he was nuts, a pureblood who enjoyed muggle things.

milloy112 · 02-25-2009, 07:14 PM

"Sir i was acctually wondering if you need any hel" Ross said as he followed him into his office

Slytherin Fox · 02-25-2009, 07:18 PM

"Well, I don't need any at the moment, but I think I may be needing some volunteers for an assignment I have coming up in just a little while," Antonio smiled. "Would you like to help out with that? I am going to be needing about half a dozen people and I don't want to turn anyone away, but I'll let you know more about that later. Can't say too much at this time., but it'll be exciting - and fun!"

milloy112 · 02-25-2009, 07:19 PM

"Definatly!" Ross said as he went to scratch his head.

Slytherin Fox · 02-25-2009, 07:25 PM

"Excellent!", said Antonio. "I shall be calling on you later, then, to assist me with this very special project, and thank you for volunteering in advance."

Jack looked at the ceiling, a smirk on his face, he was doing his best not to laugh

Jack let out a small laugh as Dumont said he'd go to a match, he was walking into something which would make Paris happy, but it was bad, Jack had to sort it out, maybe when she left "Sure professor, as long as it is nothing... unexpected" Jack frowned "You know what I get like when I get surprises" his face turned from a frown into a smile.

Slytherin Fox · 02-26-2009, 05:48 PM

"Yeah, I do," Antonio said. "Well, surprises can be good, or they can be bad. It all depends on the circumstances, I suppose. But I'll try to keep that in mind."
