The first thing you notice when you step into the office is all the interesting do-hickeys. A lot of them are similar to the ones that had been in place when Cassandra Rae was headmistress but, there were a number of new ones as well. The most notable aspect of the space was the seemingly disorganized nature of it. Books, parchment, quills, ink, instruments, cauldrons, phials, and all number of items littered the shelves and any other flat surface available. You couldn't see the top of the desk and it was surprising that the seats were even available. Aside from the chairs (or at least most of them), the only thing not covered in various bits and pieces is the elegant baby grand piano stuffed in a corner of the crowded room.

The headmaster is a tall, relatively young, wizard with unkempt robes and dirty plastic glasses. He looks more like the auror he'd been than the headmaster he's become, a big brother rather than an authority figure. Though it is common knowledge that the headmaster was attacked by a werewolf the previous term, the change in his appearance may come as a bit of a shock to those who knew him. Though still as carefree as ever and his face untouched, he looks to be on the verge of illness and his hands are a bit scarred. Nevertheless, he smiles as you walk in (assuming you got past the gargoyle, that is

).

If anyone worked out about the stones, would they think to look in this same general area twice?

"Diffindo," the boy uttered, aiming at the seams at the side of the cushion, opposite the end where Lou had put her stones. If he did this right, Bontecou or whoever sat here would not feel it upon sitting. Jake tucked the stone into the side and traced his wand over the rip, smiling in satisfaction before glancing at the other kids still here, and sitting down in the Headmaster's chair, an evil grin on his face.

"Four," he stated, pulling the last stone out of his pocket, a black one, and holding it up to the light, staring at it.

"Yeah, yeah," LouAnn mumbled, giving him a half-sarcastic tone, as well. At this point, she was just ready to rid herself of the two remaining stones and make a run for it. She watched with wide eyes as Jake placed a stone into the seams of the chair. Perhaps she should have hidden her last one a little better, but ahhh well, what's done was done.

She took a deep breath and let it very slowly as she searched for yet another place to hide one of her last two stones. A plant...she needed another plant...and this time, one that she wouldn't kill before leaving. She'd practically murdered one of the headmaster's plants during her earliest visit. A simple house plant stood tall and proud in one of the corners of the room. As LouAnn headed over to it, she pulled a stone from her bag. It was only then that she realized how light the bag had gotten. It was once so...full. Yet now it was so...empty. Hmm...yeah.

She jammed the stone deep into the soil of the plant then smoothed the dirt so it wouldn't be so obvious someone had tampered with it. "Four...with one left to go. I'm sort of...glad, you know. Not just because I'm accomplishing what I was supposed to do either. I'm just glad to have this in the past," she admitted.

Twisting his mouth around a bit, Jake looked down at his knees. He had his last stone to go and he really didn't want to get rid of it. He liked it... he killed people because of it.

Bearing in mind this is crazy Jake talking.

All he needed to do was put this last one up where he had planned, and he'd be done. He wouldn't even BE crazy Jake. This kid would just be... normal. Ish.

Shrugging his shoulders, Jake stood up and without a word grabbed another chair and pulled it over to some shelves that were up on the walls. Why he hadn't thought of this earlier, Jake had no idea. Gripping the last stone tight in his sweaty hand, Jake pushed it within the jumble of things on the shelf, out of sight.

As soon as he'd done it, the boy blinked and looked around to LouAnn feeling confused but saying nothing. This was the start of going back. The second he was to set foot out of that door, he'd be normal again. Jake remained up on the chair and watched LouAnn, his mind cloudy.

This was it. The moment she'd been waiting for since she realized she could no longer keep up with the exhaustion and fatigue the stones had brought with them. It was time for her to plant her final stone. She pulled the soul rune out the drawstring bag and held it up so as to get the best possible look at it. In a weird way, she wanted to keep it...to hold on to it and keep it safe forever and ever. On the other hand, though, she knew she had to let it go. It, along with the six others, was never meant to stay with her for long anyway.

She lowered the stone and glanced over at Jake, a mixture of emotions present on her face. She needed to get out of this office. It was suddenly full of conflicting emotions, and LouAnn felt as if she may suffocate soon if she didn't get some fresh air. Her eyes fell on the vase that actually held one of her other runes, and she dashed towards it and tossed the stone inside. She listened to the sound of it making its way down to the bottom. "I have to get out of here," she said. "I'm done...it's over for me." Without even looking back, LouAnn turned and ran from the office.

Felixir · 11-22-2009, 07:01 PM

Seeing LouAnn flee from the room, Jake stood totally still on the chair for a moment, frowning as he tried to clear his head. As the door shut, Jake's gaze lingered on every hiding place he and LouAnn had put the stones, before he jumped down from the chair and, leaving it where it was, left after her.

I'll gladly take responsibility if it comes to it. Now... we should go."

Satine began to shake as she saw the new decorum of the Headmaster's office and even Coperincus' words didn't comfort her....he had finally said outloud what she had feared...the word expulsion....she was startled as Jake and LouAnn ran out of the office past her. She felt completely paralyzed and couldn't move. Inside a war waged on...she knew this was wrong but something kept her standing there...what was wrong with her....

She glanced at Copernicus and yelled, "What have you go us into?" she yelled at him as she shook....it was her last ounce of the real Satine reaching out but it was soon overwhelmed and she collapsed to the floor into tears...the struggle inside was officially done and once again the hatred of werewolves from somewhere else had won....

She glanced up through the tears feeling lost and out of control....she softly whispered, "Yes, maybe we should leave...." looking for guidance and someone to help her stand up and walk out of the office....

Copernicus scooped Satine up and patted her shoulder. "She's overwrought from all the hard work being put in," he explained to Nataly. "Let's get out of here and we can figure out how to post our pictures and things later."

He led the way down the stairs to the gargoyle, and the office was empty once again.

Mell · 11-23-2009, 05:12 AM

Marcus gave the Gargoyle's the password and he gestured for the two Ravenclaw's to head up the spiral staircase in front of him and Iliana. His wand was out but he held it discretely by his side. And Cope's/Ethan's wand sat firmly inside his robes.

Once at the top of the staircase he moved around the two youngsters and knocked on the Headmaster's door. He looked at Copernicus out of the corner of his eye, with a grim expression. He sincerely hoped the boy wasn't going to start any trouble, Marcus didn't think he could go through that again.

Cassirin · 11-24-2009, 02:01 AM

Copernicus raised his eyebrows at Lawson in a cheerful manner. Sort of like... 'hey, this is great fun we're having right now, yes?' As soon as the door opened, he led Celandine into the office, twirled her once so her arm crossed her body, and sat down in the nearest chair. Celandine was pulled neatly into his lap.

"I lost my wand," he told her, showing her the empty holster.

Celandine just let herself be twirled and moved and whatever, though she did make herself comfortable and rested her head on Cope's shoulder.

"Me too." Celandine held up her own empty holster, though she knew Professor Morgan had her wand and Professor Lawson had Copes/Professor Truebridge's wand.

"You tell me if you feel not yourself okay?" She eyed their stuck together hands and then glanced around the office once with a slightly puzzled expression on her face.

Liisa · 11-24-2009, 04:13 AM

Watching the Ravenclaws as they marched right on into the office, Iliana gave Marcus a puzzled look and then quickly followed them inside. She didn't want Cela out of her sight for even 5 seconds. 'Oh Merlin! This just gets weirder and weirder,' she thought.

She did not sit down. This was hardly a social call.

Marcus returned Iliana's puzzled look and then shrugged as he followed them inside the office. Merlin, he hoped that the Headmaster didn't mind them just barging into his office.

"Ahem" he cleared his throat as he looked at Celandine sitting on Copernicus' lap. And jerked his head as if to say 'GET UP.' He turned his head to look at Iliana, his lips twitching and he had to cover his mouth with his hand, so as to not burst into laughter.

Cassirin · 11-24-2009, 10:54 PM

"I feel fine," Copernicus informed Celandine, even as he stood them both up and untwisted her. If they had to be attached and couldn't share a seat, then only one of them was sitting down. He gestured for Cel to take the seat.

"Professor, what are we..." Hmm. Being in here suddenly felt very familiar. "We took the pictures from his desk. And the letter."

Celandine shook her head and gently pushed Cope back into the seat, for her part, she sat on the floor with her back to his feet so that her hand rested close to her chest, his stretched across his lap and though they were stuck together they were still both relatively comfortable. She eyed professor Lawson as if to ask if it was okay like this.

Mell · 11-25-2009, 10:15 AM

Watching the two play musical chairs for a few minutes, Lawson looked at Copernicus trying to keep the smirk off his face and it took him a moment to register what the lad had said. "What pictures and letter are you talking about Mr Kettleburn?" he asked, as his eyes fell on Celandine's questioning look and he nodded his head in approval.

Cassirin · 11-25-2009, 09:04 PM

Copernicus shook his head to clear the cobwebs. What had he just been saying? Honestly, he was turning senile.

"What, Professor? I... was I saying something? Sorry. I just... slipped my mind."

Biochemkris · 11-26-2009, 12:59 AM

When he got to the top of the stairs he caught sight of Lawson and a couple students. Pepe cleared his throat. "Sorry for the delay. I've been busy at the Ministry today and tonight isn't really a good night for..." he paused and waved a hand in their direction as Stryker was sure to walk in now.

momentai · 11-26-2009, 01:05 AM

Chad kept his wand in his hand, just in case something happened. Pretty soon, they made it to the top of his staircase without incident and Bontecou disappeared into the office. He could hear the sounds of Pepe speaking to...someone, and seemed to walk in just as he was kind of introduced. "Bonjour," Chad said quietly, nodding his head towards the other Professors in the room.

Biochemkris · 11-26-2009, 01:21 AM

ooc: Sorry for just kicking everyone out, but I need this room.

"If you could see me tomorrow morning that would be best. Or, if it is an urgent matter, take it to Kazimeriz," Pepe said and waited for everyone to file out of the room before he turned to Stryker, holding out his hand for the odious concoction. "Okay, let's do this thing."

momentai · 11-26-2009, 01:28 AM

Chad waited until all the other people in the room left, before reaching into his pocket and pulling out the vial. "Here you go," and with a grim smile, Chad handed it over.

Biochemkris · 11-26-2009, 01:45 AM

"Cheers," Pepe smiled, lifted the vial in toast to Chad and then downed it. He made a disgusted face and then handed the vial back. "Thanks. I appreciate you taking these nights to sit around bored outside my office."

momentai · 11-26-2009, 01:57 AM

Chad shrugged again, pocketing the empty vial into his pocket. "I have found ways to amuse myself. Plus, it's a change from sitting around an office all day." Grinning and realizing that there was no danger, Chad pocketed his wand as well and stood back a little, waiting for Pepe's transformation to take place.

Biochemkris · 11-26-2009, 02:04 AM

Pepe pulled the screen to shield himself a bit for the transformation and then looked out the window. When the full moon was framed in the window, the painful transformation began. When it was over, he trotted from behind the screen and gave Stryker a wolfy grin, his tongue lolling out to the side.

**The Narrator** · 11-26-2009, 02:07 AM

Suddenly, a great pressure seemed to press in on the room. A moment later, the werewolf disappeared and the pressure eased.

momentai · 11-26-2009, 02:38 AM

As soon as Pepe returned from around the screen in his wolf form, Chad returned his grin and took a few steps forwards, reaching out to give the wolfie a scratch behind the ear. But then the room...it seemed to feel weird, as if there was pressure being added. Frowning, Chad closed his eyes and shook his head a little. Then, the pressure seemed to lift as quickly as it came and Chad reopened his eyes.

The wolf wasn't there.

Chad quickly spun around looking at EVERYTHING to see if Pepe had found himself to be in a playful mood of hide and seek. But...nothing. "...Bontecou," he called tentatively. No response. "Bontecou!" Still nothing. Oh mannn...Reagan was NOT going to like this.

Mumbling some things in French, Chad shook his head. He couldn't understand...how could this happen?? Wait! The door was open! Could..he have bolted while Chad was distracted? No...he wasn't like that. He had to somewhere! And Chad would find him, one way or another.

With that, Chad turned on his heel and quickly bolted out of the room. Perhaps the staff in this school could be of some assistance...well, they at least had to be notified.

harrypottterbroadway · 11-30-2009, 02:38 AM

Keeley nervously walked into the headmaster's office, and the first thing she noticed was the-stuff. It was covered in it! If only she weren't so nervous, she would be gaping at the beautiful piano. She couldn't see the headmaster anywhere, so she just sat down on an empty chair, hoping that maybe, just maybe, she could stay at Hogwarts this summer.
