"Do you say that in order to impress me? 'Oh dear, it's Galileo's ancestor' big whoopdee do. Who cares? What have YOU done? NOTHING! You are of no import in Astronomy, and if you were you would not be here. Given that there is No Recorded of grandchildren, any thing you may or may not use to prove your case would be deemed faked and you, and quite possibly your full family, would be sent to Azkaban. Another 5 points from Ravenclaw for telling ridiculous lies.

"You, however, did not answer, are you stupid, or do you just feel you have a right to intrude upon others? Oh wait, that's right, you have this right because you are, you claim, related to Galileo, another 5 points from Ravenclaw for your superior attitude.

"Now, what do you BOTH have to say for yourselves?"

"I am sorry professor!" She bowed her head and she was related to Galileo and she had proof at home.

"But Professor",said Scarlett,"She really is related to Galileo.All ravenclaws know it.She could prove it only if you give her a little bit of time.We are really sorry Professor.Actually it's our old habit to visit the tower.Our common rooms are well distinguished.We didn't remember it was the Slytherin irls side.Or we would never have been there to slash our house points professor.e are so sorry.We feel so guilty to have behaved in such a stupid manner and reduce our valuable house points.We are really very sorry professor.But please do think about our cause."

"Thank you for listening to what I just said. Are you certain that you belong in Ravenclaw, because you are not holding up your house's reputation. As I just said, there are NO records of grandchildren, in fact his children were born out of wedlock and were illegitimate, and thus unable to marry. Since he was a muggle, children, his records are long-ago lost and there is no way to prove his lineage. I don't care what you say, what she says, and, as I've already stated, any papers 'proving' such a fact would be faked. Not only would they be up on Muggle charges on faking birth certificates, but also up on Magical Charges, and quite possibly thrown into Azkaban, if not killed. Another 5 points from Ravenclaw. Are we going to do this all day ladies?"

He stared at each of them over his desk, and sighed, "I'm tired of this, and of both of you. Unfortunately, we'll be seeing more of each other. Detention. Both of you. I will owl you with the details of your detention. Leave, now."

Victoria walked out of the office and towards the owlery detention check in.

Scarlett said a sorry to the professor,and walked out of his office with a heavy heart.

Lucy walked up to the Astronomy Tower and knocked on Professor Forrester's office door. She had had a lovely idea! And art club was what she thought the school needed. So who better to ask than her head of house? She waited patiently outside the office excited.

"Come on in," Forrester called to the person knocking at his chamber door.

Lucy heard Professor Forrester let her in, and she opened the door stepping into the office. "Hello Professor. I hope you are having a good day." She said. "I came here because I was thinking that we could maybe have an art club. You know for those who love to draw or paint." She said jumping straight to the point. "I think it would be fun, but of course I need to ask permission don't I."

Forrester nodded, "Yes, you do. I will approach the rest of the staff to see if anyone would be interested in heading it up. I have no real art ability, so I think it would be a bad idea for me to do so."

ooc: this is an IC as well as OOC issue, as we'll need to see about forums/threads, and what will and will not be allowed, etc. I will take it to the rest of the staff, so please be patient with this. I do think it's a great idea, however

Lucy nodded her head in agreement. "Thank you Professor. I appreciate it very much." She said smiling. "Good bye." She turned towards the door, ready to leave. "Thank you again." She said opening the door and leaving the office.

ooc: no problem, im patient!

He hadn't salvaged many of his belongings, but those that he had were levitating behind him as Ethan tapped on the door and entered what would be his new... shared office. At least he was sharing with a Slytherin, that made all the difference of course.

Forrester approached his office. He frowned when he saw the door ajar and was ready to scold whatever student had entered the office without his approval. He turned the corner and saw....Truebridge. Oh. Right. Damn flood.

He nodded, " 'ello Truebridge. The accommodations suit you, I hope?"

"It's lucky we've kept an alternating schedule of sorts, I expected that I'd be in your hair far more than I had been." Ethan looked around at his repacked boxes with a slight frown. "Now I have to get everything back down there and unfortunately due to students attempting to rescue some of my valuable papers, they have been more damaged than they would have been had they been left at the mercy of the waters."

Truebridge sat down on one of the boxes and asked after a moment, "Would you happen you know if Kazimeriz has returned to the dungeons yet?" Ethan had no intention of getting near the old man if he was still cosied up on the 5th floor. If he'd returned to the dungeons, Ethan could continue to avoid him.

Abby walks to Professor Forrester's office. She has heard Professor Truebridge was sharing it for the time being. Abby levitates her book bag in front of her. It contains what she had been able to salvage from the Gallery. Since she hasn't had the time to go through it- not to mention she felt funny going through someone else's stuff to begin with- Abby isn't sure if anything survived the flood or not. She did the best she could applying inpenetrable charms on what she could. Abby sees the door ajar. She knocks on it as best she could. It's still a professor's office even if the door is not closed.

"No, I don't old boy. With the odd hours I tend to keep...I'm surprised I know what's going on half the time anyway." It was then that he saw something out of the corner of his eye...


"Yes, Abby? Did you need one of us?"
