| | The Silver Ladder
Just outside of the Divination office, a worn, but still shining ladder of silver hangs down from a door plastered with the professors likeness onto a landing. If you are here to see the Professor and the office is occupied or he is out, you may make yourself comfortable here until you enter the office OOC: Please post here before posting in the office. |

After making a pretty firm decision as a result of arguing with himself for a while, Jake had made his way up to the astronomy tower, no longer bothered by the stairs (yet) as he had been in his first year when he had to run up here at Kaz's bidding. Glancing up at the trap-door, Jake stood still with his hands behind his back and waitied for a chance to talk to the professor, not knowing if he was busy or even there yet.

Kapoor was carrying a floppy copy of the Prophet when he headed up the landing to go back towards his office. He pulled a small twig of something out of his pocket, then shoved it back in when he saw a member of the Hufflepuff clan, whose name he blanked out on for the moment. 'Hey you?'
The professor smiled and greeted the boy with his usual and somewhat dizzy warmth. "Hello, there? Come for a reading?" 'Or possibly extra studying?', he pondered inwardly and dismissively. Hardly anyone came for extra study anymore.

Blinking at the man who approached, Jake was annoyed that he didn't recognise him straight away. That's what you get for not going to the class, right? Not that he was about to admit that.
"Hey," Jake nodded, glancing at the prophet as the man mentioned 'a reading' and totally misinterpreting the word. "Errr... no. I had a couple of questions for ya, about the subject. I've never really... been too good at Di-di... divnnahh-.... erm, it."

I've never really... been too good at Di-di... divnnahh-.... erm, it." " Oh, excellent!". Kapoor always got excited at the prospect of imparting additional knowledge. " Go right up." He said, giving his wand a fluid gesture towards the trap door, which knocked it right open for Jake.
ooc: go ahead and post in the office. |

| because is her last term and I always do this =) Eagle Eye [⅓ Badger Trio] Felon & Kafka ♥ Gilderoy Lockhart <3 [TEAM 947!]
Probably because it was absolutely normal for her to pop in the Divination Tower each year...or because she had nothing to do at the moment....or because she was slightly confused about the 'dream' journal she kept last year...
...whatever the reason, the outcome was the same: she headed over towards that silver ladder she was so familiar and...knocked.

| even though he's just left the office... he really hasn't. know what im saying? xD Lovely™ | Captain Hurted | Ariana's Bane | Resident Antagonist | Unparalleled Delight
So... following Professor Truebridge's advice, and after a while of battling with himself over it, Jake had ascended the stairs of Hogwarts to the Divination Tower... riiiiiiiiight up at the top. He didn't break a sweat, he wasn't breathing too harshly, he was just... there. Dreeeeeeeeeeams... dreams dreams dreeeeeams...
So, Jake had visibly lost weight, which was quite hard to do with him being so small already. His once tight-fitting clothes hung off his frame, being too large.
Saying nothing, Jake rubbed his dark-rimmed eyes and stood still, examining the Silver Ladder and waiting for Kapoor to be done.

Lets stay on the landing, if you don't mind." Kapoor chimed from the top of the silver ladder. He shut the trap door behind him and habitually reached for his no longer present wand before shrugging off the matter of locking the trapdoor now behind him. " How are you, m'boy? Keeping up with your studies, I hope.".
The older wizard forfeited the last step and dismounted the silver ladder with a minute hop instead.

The older wizard forfeited the last step and dismounted the silver ladder with a minute hop instead. "Sir..." Jake replied, looking up at Kapoor and breathing a huge sigh of relief as the man descended the silver ladder, his gaze lingering worriedly on the trap door, before he glanced back towards the way he'd just come from. Biting his lip, Jake decided to just jump straight into what he wanted to say. "Studies... Mhmm... Ssssir, Truebridge ttttold me t-to see yyyou... About a duhhh-dream..." Jake trailed off, looking at Kapoor. "A kkkind of... Int-int-interpretashun?"

" Yes, of course. Here." He said, moving aside to let Jake access the silver ladder. " Calm yourself, Mr. Upstead. You'll recall the details of your dream when you're not excited. Why don't you take a seat on the ladder rungs and tell me about it?". Kapoor himself leaned against the nearby wall and prepped to listen.

He moved over and took a seat on the rungs as he took a few deep breaths. The way Kapoor was being with him made Jake feel more comfortable enough to tell all the details.
"Okay, so... I'm like, in the secret passageway with LouAnn Purple, and we know what we're doing... And it's dark... And wwwwe c-c-come across th-this boy and... And..." Jake broke off, having been gettig increasingly upset with the story, even though it lacked in detail. "Wwwwe t-t-taunted him and kuh-killed him. And I enjoyed it."
Taking a few deep breaths, Jake hid his head in his hands. "Wwwwhat would th-that muhhhh-mean... if a bbbody was actually found... and I dreamt it... before ffffinding out?"

Kapoor couldn't have guessed more wrongly at how Jakes story would end. When he mentioned himself and LouAnn Purple, Kapoor began to panic. They...They weren't kissing in the dark were they? Noooor!
It turned out they weren't.
It was actually worse. And Kapoors mind blanked out momentarily. The severity of the confession causing him to freeze, blood and mind. When he was able to bring himself back into the moment he gave his beard a thoughtful and slow stroke or two as he considered the possible meanings for such a dream.
Kapoor reached around his robes. Various pockets being turned out until at last the elusive handkerchief was located and dispensed to Jake. " There, there, Jake. It was only a dream. And despite the things that Divination tells us about what our dreams mean, sometimes dreams are only just that. Dreams. And nothing more." Kapoor said in an effort to comfort Jake. Likely, the boy was feeling the stress of having lost two of his housemates this term. " The waste of our daily mental expenditure."

Taking the handkerchief from Kapoor, Jake's breath hitched as he carefully wiped the tears away, giving the man a sad smile. "Kazi... Didn't ttttake it this well. I think he thinks it's real... Called LouAnn to talk to him... We got called off when Lawson..." Jake's eyes filled with tears again when he remembered the disjointed memory from that night. "I remember you there outside the office... I rrrrrrrran away fffrom Kaz... I haven't gone back to talk to him."
The reassurance from Kapoor meant that Jake felt more comfortable in talking about the rest. "Anyone who was at the deathday party heard Myrtle telling the world that I murdered someone," Jake sniffed, his voice breaking up in his upset. "I just... dunno what to do."

The reassurance from Kapoor meant that Jake felt more comfortable in talking about the rest. "Anyone who was at the deathday party heard Myrtle telling the world that I murdered someone," Jake sniffed, his voice breaking up in his upset. "I just... dunno what to do." Jake was going a bit too fast for Kapoor, who was still under the impression that this all was just a dream...with very vivid details.
" Well, I suppose I could see where he got confused. You seem to remember a lot of details from it and many of those details have also occurred in real life." He almost sympathized with Kazimeriz's paranoid caution.
" You seem also to be greatly affected by all this, too. Clearly, this must've been a very vivid dream." He said, unable to hide a certain semi-unconvinced tone as he uttered the word 'dream'. " Tell me, Jake. Did this dream seem so real to you that you told others only to have it all be misconstrued?" He asked, trying to piece the fragmented, unsequential bits of the story together.

Kapoor was sounding doubtful.
Not good. BACKTRAAAAAAAAAACK!
"I..." Jake bit on his lip, fiddling with the handkerchief and jiggling his foot up and down, breathing quickening in his anxiety. "I told Mmmmyrtle... she wanted to know whhyyy I h-hadn't suhhh-seen her and I t-told her ab-about how I blacked out alot-" Had he told Kapoor about that? Oops. "And she mmmmmentioned a secret chamber f-from ages ago... and th-this girl who k-killed roosters. And... I told her ab-about the dream, be-be-because she's mmmmy friend. I jjjust told HER, but she told ev-everyone. And then I told Kazi... and they t-t-twisted it..."
Realising he had said way way wayyyyyy too much, and he stood abruptly, tears spilling out of his eyes some more. "Juhhh-juh-just a d-d-dream... I should..." he held the handkerchief out to the man, his eyes wild and still producing more tears. "I'm ssssorry. I sh-should go. Wasting y-your t-t-time..."
Yes, Jake. Enough of the insane rambling.

Yes, Jake. Enough of the insane rambling. A girl who killed roosters? Myrtle, Merlin bless her, was either trying to spook Jake or had no idea how such a fact could've sounded when relayed to another party. Sigh.
" Jake, stay where you're at. There's no need to leave just yet and you're most certainly not wasting my time." Kapoor at least wasn't going to let him leave this upset.
" They twisted it? How do you mean, Jake?" That was at least the other essential part of this puzzle.

"Jake, stay where you're at. There's no need to leave just yet and you're most certainly not wasting my time." Kapoor at least wasn't going to let him leave this upset.
"They twisted it? How do you mean, Jake?" That was at least the other essential part of this puzzle. Taking in great gasps of air which counted as breaths at the moment, Jake looked desperately towards the way out, then back at Kapoor, before running a hand through his hair. This was beginning to get dangerous... he couldn't tell someone what was happening without becoming terrified that he was about to be shipped off to Azkaban or St. Mungo's.
"It was j-j-just a duhh-dream!" the young boy finally sobbed, using his shirt sleeve to dry his face, oddly feeling the throbbing in his foot from earlier when he'd kicked the dustbins. "I tuhh-tuh-told them... And j-just because I knew what the k-k-kid looked like... and wh-where... They're th-thinking I did it. I c-c-can't have... I..." Jake looked around desperately, wanting to throw or at least hit something. In the end he settled with pounding both fists hard against the stone wall beside him, resting his forehead on it at the same time as he grit his teeth. "I wuh-wouldn't have m-m-meant it. I'm n-n-not a kuhh-killer, sir. I can't be! I'm not like... that..."
Cue more tears.

This was breaking Kapoors heart. The old man had a more or less life-long soft spot for what was often misunderstood. And poor Jake. There he was. Sitting on the rungs of silver orb sobbing himself sick for being exactly that. Misunderstood.
" Nooo, of course you're not, m'boy. You couldn't be. No one would believe it if you told them Jake Upstead did any such thing." He wouldn't. Though, that may not have been saying much. " Jake? Does Headmaster Bontecou know about any of this?". And, where was Bontecou these days? Kapoor tried to recall which phase of the moon they were presently in.

Does Headmaster Bontecou know about any of this?". And, where was Bontecou these days? Kapoor tried to recall which phase of the moon they were presently in. Grabbing at the collar of his shirt to brush away the tears on his face, Jake gasped in some more air and avoided looking straight at Kapoor, feeling sick to his stomach about all of this. Taking a few more shuddering breaths, Jake worked hard to calm himself down. This simple visit had caused him upset... he ought to have know he couldn't talk about this without breaking down. But now Kapoor was making him feel better again, about this whole thing. He didn't seem as... freaked out as Jake had originally thought.
"I d-d-don't thhink..." he stuttered, trying hard to keep his eyes free of tears. "I don't wwwwant him to kn-know... They'll sssssend me to that h-h-hospital ag-ag-again..."
It was hard to know what he wanted anymore. Sometimes he'd give anything to go to the hospital again, other times it scared him out of his wits. "I d-d-don' wanna get in t-tttt-trouble..." he insisted. "Don't wanna tuhh-tell him."

"I d-d-don' wanna get in t-tttt-trouble..." he insisted. "Don't wanna tuhh-tell him." 'Again?' Kapoor repeated in his mind. This was the first he'd heard of Jake having been in the hospital. Though it made sense. If just verbally repeating these episodes caused him this much distress, of course going through it all was only going to see more dramatic results.
" What if we tell him not to do that? To wait and see what this all means before alerting your parents, Jake?" He said making a suggestion that he thought was less threatening.

"What if we tell him not to do that? To wait and see what this all means before alerting your parents, Jake?" He said making a suggestion that he thought was less threatening. "I..." Jake bit down on his lip and looked through watery eyes at Kapoor, hiccoughing every once in a while. "I... D-d-don't wwwwant to be thuh-there to tell hhhhim," the boy tried to explain, wiping at his eyes again. "Whhat if hhhhe ssssends me awwway like..." Jake had been about to mention the previous year, but bit down on his tongue before he let anything slip. Didn't want to sound crazy, did he? "Luh-Lupa wwwwas gonna ttttell him to sssend me there. Ssshhe..."
Again, Jake trailed off, grinding a palm to the side of his head. "Iiiii don't want... Sent aw-away... Do we hhhhave to say an-anything? It wwwere a dream..."
A freakishly real feeling dream.

A freakishly real feeling dream.
" Ohp. Phuh. Professor Lupa." Kapoor waved his hand. " She was probably just trying to suggest what she thought best, but, she needn't be there. And, I happen to know that Headmaster Bontecou greatly values his students well-being. If you ask him to remain discreet, I can't imagine that he would override your feelings, Jake." He reminded the young lad.
" We don't have to say anything as this was all a dream. But, as it is causing you so much ...distress, you may want to say something. Even if nothing is to be done about it, it still helps to talk about it and you may gain the understanding of the man in charge. But..." He began with a sigh. " If you really, truly have no wish to speak with the Headmaster yourself, I've been meaning to pay him a visit and if you would like, I could go to him and speak on your behalf."

"I gggguess she was... I ddddon't remember it anymore..." the boy mumbled, speaking more to himself with that last part. He looked up into Kapoor's face... That man was such an unlikely saviour. Jake had only spoken to him a few times in his Hogwarts life, and there he was... The man Jake was crying to about everything.
He felt... Safe.
"I think," Jake started slowly, nodding his head as he did so. "I ttthink hhhe should kn-know... But..." he bit his lip, feeling like he was causing a burden fir the man. "Ccccould you duh-do that? I dun thhhink I c-can dddeal with being there."
Well, that was one reason.

Well, that was one reason. " Of course I can, Jake. And I will." He felt his left pocket again, just to check if he had an extra handkercheif, but no dice. He'd given Jake the last one. " Alright. Well, then that's settled. I shall go and speak to Headmaster Bontecou on your behalf when next I meet with him. Go ahead and keep the kercheif, Jake. You can return it to me at the end of term feast. Chocolate frog?" He said pulling out and offering what he did find in his left pocket. Kapoor was a master of anti-candy melting charms and the special edition caramel centered amphibious treats were a testimony to that.
" Do try and cheer up, Jake. I know that's a lot harder than it sounds, but if it helps, might I suggest keeping a dream journal? It may help you to make sense of it all." He had suggested as much to students who'd come to him with less graphic dreams, so it only made sense that he'd recommend the same for a situation like this.
