| | The Office of Professor Valon Kazimeriz, esq. Please do not post here until the Professor has invited you in. Please use the office doorway thread to knock and gain admittance to the Professor's office.
The warm interior of Professor Kazimeriz's office is simply lit with a candlelight chandelier. While it is well organized and fastidiously tidy, the floor to ceiling mahogany shelves are overflowing with thick, ancient books and curiosities that the professor has collected during nearly a century of travels. The walls are decorated with tribal masks and other oddities as well as moving photographs of distant lands and distant people. Several photos are of the professor himself, posing with various wizards, witches, hobgoblins, werewolves, vampires and other magical beings.
At the center of the office is a large mahogany desk with a deeply cushioned leather chair behind it. On the desk are a few artifacts, including a glass-encased hand of glory. There is also a quill, blotter and a photograph of a much younger Professor Kazimeriz with a woman and small child.
At the back of the room there is a large, locked, wood and glass enclosed curio cabinet which contains a variety of objects. Each object has a note card describing the object and the curse placed on it. To the right of the cabinet, there is a brass bell dangling from a wrought iron hook. In this area, there is also a fastidious workspace featuring a triple-locked glass cabinet housing potions ingredients. On the counter you will find an array of potions-making equipment: phials, alembics, stills,and of course several cauldrons in various states of steaming and brewing. The bookshelves are jammed with many ancient texts: An anonymous treatise on the Philosophers' stone, An hundred aphorisms containing the whole body of magic from Ms. Sloane 1321, Basil Valentine's Triumphal Chariot of Antimony, Advanced Potion-Making by Libatius Borage, Moste Potente Potions, Magical Drafts and Potions by Arsenius Jigger, Compleat Potions by Horace Slughorn, and many others.
Comfortable, overstuffed chairs and sofas are positioned within the office near the fireplace sitting area and across from the professor's desk. The smell of tea and warm sugar cookies lingers in the air, mingling with the scent of the burning pine log in the fireplace and the occasional wafting scent of whatever happens to be brewing at the moment.
When you are invited in, please make yourself comfortable. |

Kazimeriz listened to the girl's tale in silence, concentrating deeply on what she was saying. Two deaths. "The other boy in your dream. Who was he?" he asked the weeping girl softly. He reached over to her, offering her a clean, crisp white linen handkerchief, intricately embroidered with the initials VRK and ornate scroll patterns in one corner.

LouAnn's sobs had faded into silent tears by the time Professor Kazimeriz handed her a handkerchief. She took a few minutes to dry her eyes and pull herself together before answering his question. "He was only in the nightmares I had of Kyle's situation. He was there with me, and Kyle was calling out to him in the same way he was calling out to me," she said. "I didn't see Jake in the nightmares I had of Abby, though."
"There's something else you should know, though. I've been blacking out a lot since around the beginning of this school year. In all my fifteen years, I've never once had that problem before now," she explained. She glanced off to the side for a moment while she tried to remember the very first time it happened. She'd just made it back to the castle after spending half the day in Hogsmeade with Jake Upstead.
"Jake and I had spent the day in Hogsmeade. We'd just returned to the castle, and I'd been on the way to the Common Room. Then suddenly, it was far later on in the evening when I came to and wondered where the day had gone. It seemed as if a block of time had passed, and I was never even aware of it." She sighed deeply before continuing again. "That was the first time I became aware that time was passing without my knowledge. It was sort of like I started missing large chunks of my day. I'd be in class or on the grounds and then...then an hour later I'd be somewhere else without ever realizing when or how I left the area I was in before," she said.

Kazimeriz listened intently as the girl continued to explain. "Jacob Upstead. As I suspected." he nodded. "So you share these dreams in common. And you black out completely, remembering nothing at all?" he repeated, looking to her for confirmation. "What... What does it feel like, when you return to consciousness? Do you have physical aftereffects, any kind of physical sensation at all? Pain, discomfort? Perhaps a touch of nausea? And what happens just before these blackouts, if you remember? Any particular sensations- smells, something you touch or hear? Tell me... tell me everything. Please." He looked at her, his expression eager, almost hungry... the way a scientist might analyze a particularly fascinating test subject in a lab.

He looked at her, his expression eager, almost hungry... the way a scientist might analyze a particularly fascinating test subject in a lab. "Yes, Jake Up--- share these dreams in common? You mean, Jake is having the same nightmares I am?" she asked. This was news to her, but at the same time, she couldn't believe she didn't think to ask Jake about the nightmares sooner. She nodded in reply to Professor Kazimeriz's next question. "Yes, I black out completely, meaning I don't remember anything that happened during the lost time. I'm not even sure what triggers this, as it's happened in different places and at different times."
"When I'm about to blackout, I'm usually aware of what's happening for a split second. It's like I feel as if I'm slowly losing myself, then...well, I snap out of it a while later. When it ends, I have this feeling like I've been asleep for a while and something suddenly wakes me up," she explained. "Other than that and the lost time, there's no other side effects."
BAM. pause
BAM. BAM. pause
BAM. BAM. BAM. pause.
Just as she finished answering, a series of knocks sounded on the door, and she instinctively turned towards the sound. Oh...Team Kazi had arrived! She knew it was them, because they'd agreed for Tibi to do a specific pattern of knocks, and that's exactly what she'd heard. This also meant the water balloon filled with...hee hee...Swelling Solution was now hanging at the top of the office door, so LouAnn had to make sure it was Professor Kazimeriz who opened that door.

Destiny almost jumped out of her seat when she heard the knocks and someone calling for help. Weird though, the knock didn't sound like urgent, I need help right now type of knocks. And if it was that important they should've just walked in.
She turned to Evelyn and then to Professor Kazi wondering what was going on in the hallway.

She turned to Evelyn and then to Professor Kazi wondering what was going on in the hallway. Kazimeriz was listening intently as LouAnn explained the symptoms and the experience... when his attention was shattered by somebody pounding on his door. He glanced down at the orb on his desk... Apparently several students had congregated, and seemed busy-- he could not see what they were doing, quite, it was out of the range of the orb. No one appeared to be dead or dying, though. Well, not yet, anyway.
He sighed slightly. "Not meaning to interrupt your story, Miss Purple, but it appears that my office is busier than Kings' Cross today. I hope you do not mind if I take a moment to deal with these particularly impatient guests." He turned to the orb, speaking clearly. "You may enter. But I warn you now- I am in conference, and you interrupt at your own risk. Do not cross my threshold if this is not a true emergency or by Merlin you will regret it."
He turned back to LouAnn. "This should not take more than a moment, I would think. In the meantime, please, have a warm sugar cookie. It will calm you." He gestured to the silver platter overflowing with large, soft sugar-dusted treats.

| Super Slytherin Buddy | | ⅓ She-Snake Trio | | a normal girl with normal knees Evelyn glanced at Destiny when the girl jumped, holding back a laugh. Well it was insanely funny to watch people jump when scared, but seeing the look on her friend's face, it was almost like she knew what Destiny was thinking. Something was up...as usual. Those knocks did not match the sound of the supposed boy's voice. Frowning and furrowing her eyebrows together, she turned in her seat to stair at the door waiting to see who would come in, and watching the Professor out of the corner of her eye.

He gestured to the silver platter overflowing with large, soft sugar-dusted treats. LouAnn could tell that Professor Kazimeriz's attention was strongly diverted by the pounding on his office door. Even LouAnn, who knew who was behind that door, couldn't concentrate on anything but the sudden noise. "No, no. It's fine, sir. I understand that this is a very popular place," she said. "I don't mind at all." Besides, she was ready for a small break in her own story anyway. She was getting far too nervous for her own good.
But wait...what? Kazimeriz wasn't going to get up and actually go to the door? But...but...but...no! This was definitely not working out the way they'd planned! A warm sugar cookie, though? Hmm...a warm sugar cookie did seem nice. "Oh, thank you, sir. I'd love one," she said, reaching forward and happily accepting one. She broke it in two and handed one side to Masterson.

He wasn't expecting it to scare him so much, but it definitely was enough to make his heart race! And then LouAnn was holding up half a sugar cookie to him. "Thank you," he smiled, accepting it from her and giving her shoulder another squeeze. He took a bite out of it and sighed.

Kazimeriz's attention was drawn back to the spyglass orb on his desk. Apparently the students in the hall were engaged in some sort of muggle-style shenanigans, beating up on the first year Ravenclaw... Pryce, as he recalled. "Please excuse us, Miss Purple... Ladies..." he nodded to include the other students in the room. "Mr. Masterson, there appear to be some students beating up on a first year in my corridor. If you would please help me sort them out, I would appreciate it."
Taking his cane in one hand and Upstead's borrowed wand in the other, he rose, pausing to allow Masterson to join him.

Taking his cane in one hand and Upstead's borrowed wand in the other, he rose, pausing to allow Masterson to join him. Oh, whew! Good thinking, Tibi, Cam, and Torin! LouAnn had no clue who in Merlin's name had thought to fake a fight, but it was heck of an awesome idea! It even sounded like Professor Kazimeriz was going to actually get up and see to this issue, too! Ohhh, LouAnn just loved it when things ended up working out in the long run!
Only, the question now was...how was she going to get herself out into the corridor to assist them in packaging Kazimeriz and shipping him to Australia? Mr. Masterson would surely notice if she scooted on out the door, wand in hand. LouAnn sighed as she sat and thought about this. Maybe she could pass it off as simply following the professor outside in a heroic effort to help.
...but wait! Whaaaat? He was suggesting that Mr. Masterson come along? But...but... LouAnn's wide eyes flickered over towards Mr. Masterson, and she shook her head a few times. He just couldn't follow Professor Kazimeriz! He'd fall victim to the Swelling Solution and be sent to Oz, too! "Wait!" LouAnn whispered to Mr. Masterson. "I'll go!" Yes, yes... she knew when to stop before getting showered with Swelling Solution. She quietly stood and walked behind the professor. Any minute now...

And of course, it was more his arm muscles that were needed. Humph. Frankly, he was sick of pulling kids off one another for their stupidity. Plus, he didn't have a wand like Kazimeriz. So. That answered that one.
He opened his mouth to say "do it yourself", but found LouAnn cutting him off before he could say a word. "Wait...what? No, you can't LouAnn," he called, following behind and reaching out to pull her back. "You don't know what those stupid children could do at any moment."

No, you can't LouAnn," he called, following behind and reaching out to pull her back. "You don't know what those stupid children could do at any moment." He wasn't just going to simply sit back and obey like a good little family member, though, was he? Of course not! If she protested much more, though, it'd probably be seen as borderline disrespect, so she thought to quieten down while she was still ahead. She paced back and forth a few steps then turned around and looked at Mr. Masterson once again.
"It's okay, I've got this," she said, scurrying after Professor Kazimeriz, so she could hopefully get to him well before Mr. Masterson did. It was sooo not her intentions to swell and package a family member then ship him off to Australia. "You know...after those nightmares I've been having, it'd sure make me feel better to help someone in need..." There ya go, LouAnn. Play on his sympathetic side.

Geez, how could he argue with reasoning like that? And family, no less! "I just...really think you should stay over there...in the chair...you know?"

Kazimeriz paused, eyeing Masterson and the Purple girl with suspicion. "Why on earth would you find it appropriate to allow a child to assist in a disciplinary function, Mr. Masterson? Come, now. There is a child in need, and as there are several students; I may need your assistance in restraining them. " He looked at him impatiently, not wanting to divulge that should it come down to show of strength, he simply did not wish to risk casting on the students with Upstead's unpredictable wand. It could go very badly. "Please."

Destiny looked up at Kazimeriz, then to LouAnn, then to Masterson. She did this a couple of times.
Was was LouAnn trying to be the hero all of a sudden? Maybe she is trying to get out of being punished by getting on Kazi's good side. Destiny didn't know, but she knew a student was in 'trouble' and these men were too busy arguing over who was going to answer the door. Getting a little bit of courage Destiny spoke up 'If no one is going to actually open the door why don't one of you use a wand to open it?' She even held out her own for one of them to use. 'Then you know, you could like sneak attack them.' That sounded so much better in her head.

| Super Slytherin Buddy | | ⅓ She-Snake Trio | | a normal girl with normal knees Hmmm, Destiny's idea seemed pretty good at the moment. Who knows what was on the other side of the door... Creepy evil things, that's what! Maybe not, but one could never be too cautious. "Sneak attack?" she raised an eyebrow at Destiny, trying to look serious but a smile threatened to show at any moment. "Niiiice way of wording that." Completely amusing.
Turning in her seat to have complete view of the door, she waited slightly anxiously for someone, anyone, to open it. The whole 'LouAnn stopping the Groundskeeper' deal was a little annoying to Evelyn, but it did catch her attention somewhat. Obviously Mr. Masterson was the better person to be sending outside with Professor Kazi. And yet, she wants to go instead of him. 'That...doesn't seem...right? This whole school is weird...'

Mr. Masterson was willing to simply step aside just so she could justify her nightmares by assisting with some fight out in the corridor? Wow, she really should feel bad for not telling him the complete and total truth. Maybe one day she could sit down and tell the complete story. You know, when she was forty-six-years-old or something like that. "It's okay. I won't go too far," she promised. Quote:

LouAnn stopped abruptly and just watched what little progress had been made. No matter what she did at this point, Professor Kazimeriz would simply just continue to do as he'd planned. It seemed sort of pointless to protest any longer. She could only hope that Tibi, Torin, and Cam would have some brilliant idea just waiting to be implemented on the other side of that door.
LouAnn turned to the Slytherin girls, who were suggested that a wand be used for a surprise attack. "That's a good idea, but what if the students are locked in a nasty duel and the innocent ends up getting hit...with the spell, I mean," she said. She hoped, at this point, that Professor Kazimeriz would just continue on and open the door as he'd planned. Surely Copernicus wouldn't wait on their mission to get underway much longer.

Was was LouAnn trying to be the hero all of a sudden? Maybe she is trying to get out of being punished by getting on Kazi's good side. Destiny didn't know, but she knew a student was in 'trouble' and these men were too busy arguing over who was going to answer the door. Getting a little bit of courage Destiny spoke up 'If no one is going to actually open the door why don't one of you use a wand to open it?' She even held out her own for one of them to use. 'Then you know, you could like sneak attack them.' That sounded so much better in her head. Quote:

Wow, she really should feel bad for not telling him the complete and total truth. Maybe one day she could sit down and tell the complete story. You know, when she was forty-six-years-old or something like that. "It's okay. I won't go too far," she promised.

Kazimeriz snarled impatiently at Masterson. "There is no time for this; a student is in trouble and as masters of this school, it is our duty to assist." With that, he shuffled over to the door and opened it. If he cast and it went wrong, it would be on Masterson's head.
ooc: continuing in the corridor.

"She's a young woman, she can make her own decisions!" And he was so not going to let her go through with this! "You know what, FINE. I'll help if it'll make you happy..." Constantine started to head towards the door, angry at this Kazi man for trying to boss him around. So angry, that he ended up stumbling and running right into Kazimeriz, pushing him through the doorway.

| Super Slytherin Buddy | | ⅓ She-Snake Trio | | a normal girl with normal knees Evelyn watched everything play out, and saw Mr. Masterson slightly push Professor Kazi out the door, on accident of course. Though it was funny enough to make her laugh. Covering her mouth, she stood up and moved slightly closer to the door to see what was happening. It looked like Tibi was getting beat up by some headless thing, which was weird. Turning to Destiny to see if she wanted a look at what was happening, Evelyn moved her attention back to the 'action'. Woo! Not really...

Destiny sat there with her mouth hanging open and her wand still held out. She stood up and kneeled on the chair so she could get a better view. Was that Tibi? Was he getting beat up by a headless person? What was going on!?
Destiny had to duck her head down so her laughs couldn't be heard. Mr. Masterson tripped over, well nothing, and landed right into Professor Kazimeriz. And nowwww, she couldn't see anything. The two men were blocking the doorway! She decided to get up and stand next to Evelyn. Now she could see everything!

Other. students.
Uhoh.
"Don't... don't let them hurt me..." he stammered, realizing that he had to continue his act of being bullied just a little longer.

Pretty soon, Constantine found himself with a child in his arms, tackling him to the floor. You know, there was really only one child that he would ever carry...and this fool was not that one! "Gett offf," Constantine said, pushing the little one off of him and getting up. Oh, he was going to have a word with Kazimeriz for his little snarl show...as soon as he put the rest of the fools in headlocks and took them down to the detention dungeons. With that, he started for the door again.

With that, he started for the door again. Sniffling for real -- that had HURT -- Tibi panicked as Masterson strode toward the door.
"NOOOO," he cry!whined, sprinting for the door himself and placing himself firmly in front of it. "They'll get me if you open the door!"
Tibi's chest rose and fell rapidly, his heart racing, but for reasons entirely other than the ones he was saying. "I'm sorry I jumped on you. But Kazi can do it! Please stay with me!"
Tibi blinked, letting a few tears fall, and stuck out his bottom lip. "I'm scared."
And he was NOT moving from in front of that door.
