| | |  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! | |

"Hope to see you in class, Jake," Antonio said, just as Jack came running up. "How are you feeling, Jack?", he asked.

He waited for an answer. Cadence stood next to John as he knocked on the Professor's door, not saying anything, just waiting. She hoped Saku wasn't in there. She knew Saku really didn't like her.

Antonio opened the door, admitting John and Cadence. "Good, I'm glad the two of you are here," he said. "Jack is here as well, maybe we can start to plan out our next step of where we want to look for that missing piece of the letter."

She had missed something. Missing piece of the letter? She said, turning to John and waiting for someone to answer her.

He just ran straight toward Professor Dumont and give him a big hug and wouldn't let go." He then look at Professor Dumont Crossly. "Oh why, oh why didn't you tell me?" He hoped the Professor understood what he ment. He then turned to Jack and smiled to him. "I'm great now."

Antonio said, "Well, you were there, for a little while at least," figuring he was referring to the incident that had happened this morning.

John didn't want to let the Professor go just yet so he continued to hug him. "But, but." What could he say about the things he had seen. He hated being able to see into the future. "But you could have.." He stopped he didn't want the others getting scared.

Cadence turned to Jack, looking utterly bewildered. Hi Jack! I'm Cadence!

John, what's he talking about? Cadence had absolutely no idea what was going on. John seeing things, missing part of a letter? She didn't like being confused, it was one of those things she could stand and she began to feel very anxious as she looked back and forth between John and Jack.

"It's hard to explain" Jack told Cadence, he still gave John a searching look, it was not his day today.

That's wicked! I bet it's really scary sometimes though... She had heard about people with abilities like these before, but she had never thought she'd ever meet anyone like this. Thanks for clearing that up!

Jack was trying to conentrate. John and the Professor didn't seem to want to discuss what John had seen. She stood there nervously, surveying Professor Dumont's office and wondering when someone would tell her about the missing letter.

Jack looked at John and frowned, he tilted his head to the side, John wasn't going to tell him so Jack was going to find out "You saw..." Jack gasped "Me and him" Jack pointed at Dumont "In the lake" Jack sighed "Drowning" he added on reluctantly "Look, I'm fine" Jack nodded "Whoa" he leant on the wall to keep himself up, this dizzy thing had to be fixed!

Cadence's eyes widened as she heard Jack say what John had seen. She took an instinctive step forward as she saw the dizziness in his eyes before he felt it and leaned against the wall. Umm... maybe, maybe you should sit down Jack?
