Around the corner from the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom is a nook that could almost be easily missed, in which sits a quaint little waiting area for all those who wish to visit Professor Romanos. There are a variety of dark reddish-brown leather chairs for those to sit comfortably on, surrounding a low, rich colored mahogany table that has been conveniently stacked with a few magazines for enjoyment while waiting. Underneath sits a soft carpet that matches the rest of the décor, giving the area a rustic and inviting place to be in. If one wishes to visit the professor, all they have to do is knock. Keep in mind though, there may be others already in the office and if that's the case, feel free to make yourself comfortable. Fall asleep if you must. The Professor doesn't mind; just as long as you aren't missing any lessons.
ooc: Please post here first by having your character knocking on the door. When you are invited into the office, I will reply here quoting you. Feel free to chat with friends if you so wish, though keep in mind that being too rambunctious may cause your visit there to turn down a different road with the Professor.
August thought he had seen the chair that was assigned to the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor filled from where he sat at the Feast. He hadn't gone to any DADA lessons last term and had soon realized the Professor had sort of gone...missing. She had seemed like a nice woman and the Gryffindor surely hoped nothing bad had happened to her; Headmaster Tate would tell them that sort of thing right?
Anyways, Auggie was here to talk to the new Professor and express some of his concerns about the subject. He also came bearing a gift which he held tightly by his side. Walking up to the door he knocked quickly and then tentativly took a seat on the edge of a comfy looking chair.

How long had she been in her office?
Looking over her shoulder to the door, a slight frown appeared on her face as she set Erma down on one of the chairs. Visitors already? Quite frankly, she half expected it to be one of the staff members. Alas though, after opening the door and peering out into the open waiting area, to her surprise, it was a student.
"Hello." she said with a smile, stepping out from the doorway a little, somewhat concerned. "Is there something you need help vith?"

Alyssa stepped up to the door of the new Defense Against The Dark Arts Studies Professor, Professor Romanos. She looked around in the waiting area before knocking on the door. This Professor definitely had good style and taste, judging from the elegant leather chairs that she had placed there. Alyssa was looking forward to attending her classes. She had been disappointed that DADA lessons were suspended last term and was excited when she heard that the Headmaster had found a replacement Professor. Alyssa hoped to be an Auror like her Dad and she knew that she had to excel in her studies especially in Defense Against the Dark Arts in order to even be considered for Auror training.
So here she was ready to greet her new Professor. Making sure that she had her gift in her jacket pocket, Alyssa reached up and knocked on the office door.

August hadn't perched on the chair but for a few seconds before the door was propped open and a dark haried woman stepped out, looking at him. Her face was a tad bit suprised but that was to be expected, he had shown up to her office pretty early on the first day back to the Castle.
"Hello Professor, I'm August Goldstein and I was just coming by to welcome you and talk to you about your class this term." he said quickly and nervously. The woman wasn't scary or anything, he just hadn't ever met her before. "Oh and these are for you!" he said holding out one of the packages of Jumping Gummy Bears he had bought at Sugerplum's while he was in Diagon Alley.

KNOCK!! KNOCK!!
Honestly, she wasn't expecting any visitors at all. At least not so early. There had already been a young lad to visit her. Who else decided to make the trip?
Opening the door a little, Medea peered out, gaze landing on a young girl. Did it label her as the new person too much since she still half expected the person to be of staff? "Hello." she greeted with a smile, opening the door a little more. "Is there something you needed help vith?"

Oh?
She had no idea what about her class he was going to talk about, though it was amusing to hear to say the least. Merlin, was he going to educate her about it? What was even more amusing was the gift. "Oh!" Even more surprising. "Sweets. Thank you very much. You shouldn't haff."
Kinda felt awkward for taking a gift from a student, but if she learned anything from the feast, it was that they did like giving them. "Please. Come in." she said, moving aside to let the boy into her office.

Alyssa smiled up at the Professor. "Good morning, Professor. My name's Alyssa Potter. I tried to welcome you to our school earlier at the feast, but wasn't able to do that properly because Professor Vindictus told me to return to my House table. Would it be okay if I came in. I have a question that I was hoping you could help me with."

"Oh but I wanted to." he said nodding slowly as he watched her take the Gummy Bears. He wasn't usually giving gifts to Professors but she was new and she needed to be welcomed. Yeah, that was always nice.
Not really registering the confusion the Professor had been experiencing August just smiled and entered through the door she held open for him.

It had been a while since there had been a proper Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for Kurumi as well. Her first two terms had been taught by none other than the Headmaster himself and were some of her first memories of classes at Hogwarts. Then there had been that ridiculous assignment by the man her father called a Walrus that was anything BUT helpful, and then their professor last term had gone missing completely. Kurumi was beginning to think that the woman she had seen at the staff table was a figment of her imagination and had to check things out for herself to see if they were really true.
Of course, she did have some actual questions to ask as well, but mostly she wanted to make sure the woman was real and not a ghost or...something else...
Walking up to the door and seeing that no one else was around, Kurumi knocked on it twice and then took a seat while she waited.

Aw yes, she remembered this girl. Had a polite greeting before that man shooed her away. "Oh, of course." she nodded, stepping out the way and opening the door a little more so the girl was able to walk in. "Come on in."
ooc: Go ahead and post in the office

Glancing back to the waiting area after August entered her office, she stared for a split second before closing the door behind the both of them.

It seemed like she only had a few minutes to herself before there was another knock on the door. Merlin forbid she actually planned any of her lessons out. Oh...
Oh she saw what the students were trying to do now.
NOT expecting it to be a staff member this time, Medea opened the door, a knowing smile on her face as her gaze settled on the girl. "Hello." she greeted, her heavy accent still showing considerably, already slightly moving out of the way so the student was able to walk into her office if she so pleased. "Vould you like to come in?"

Kurumi sort of froze when the professor peeked out from her office and addressed her, but not because she found the woman intimidating or frightening. No, there was nothing wrong with HER...but her speech sent a cold chill down the Gryffindor's spine. It was...similar to the way that THAT man spoke. Really though, Kurumi couldn't say anything since she too had a small hint of an accent due to her upbringing in Japan. Eyes wide, but expression neutral, Kurumi nodded her head like one of those bobble head toys on the dashboard to a car.
"Kurumi Hollingberry, professor," she said, perhaps a little too formally. "I...was hoping to discus a few things with you regarding Defense Against the Dark Arts." And to see if you really existed or not.

The young Professor headed down the corridor leaving a clicking noise echoing down the halls from her heels. She was so excited to meet another of the new professors. You could say she was the unofficial welcoming crew...well were you a crew if there was just one...she smiled at her useless thought and approached the door.
Finally, reaching the door, she lets out a little breath that she hadn't realized she was holding...only just now realizing that she was worried about dropping the Muggle candy basket thus making her hold her breath...this thought made her laugh...
Seeing the comfy looking chairs over her shoulder, she knocked twice and then placed the basket on the coffee table and plopped down waiting patiently for the professor to come say hello.

Taking a note of the girl's name, she wasn't all that surprised about the reason the girl was here in the first place. Everyone else who'd visited needed to talk about the subject. Just who in Merlin's beard taught this class last year? "Of course. Please, do come in Miss Hollingberry." Unless she wanted to discuss it out here in the waiting area.

Running a hand through her hair as she heard another knock on her office door, Medea eyed it for a moment, contemplating whether or not she should pretend she wasn't here. These students were persistent with their greetings and questions, and her classes had barely even begun.
Nevertheless, she stood up and walked over to open her door. "Yes?" she asked before becoming aware just who was out here. Now that she was expecting a student, it was a surprise to see that it was indeed one of the staff members here at school. "Oh, Professor! I erm..." Oops. "Hello."
Stepping out of her office a little, she smiled. This job was already messing with her.

Gemma stood up and smiled at the new face...a little bit more timidly that usual...she was afraid she hadn't interrupted something..."Hello, I just wanted to stop by and Welcome you to Hogwarts..." she said holding up the basket of goodies, "I hope I'm not interrupting anything..." she said glancing at the other students in the area. Gemma really should be working on lessons herself but she couldn't pass up the opportunity to welcome people...she knew it was important because it took her two whole years to feel welcome because she had never felt welcome her first year of teaching...she tilted her head slightly to the right and continued, "Do you mind if I put this in your office?"

Goodness, more sweet treats. She was going to have a sugar high for weeks now. "Oh, no, not interrupting at all." she said, shaking her head a little as she too glanced towards the students. Even if the students were amusing to be around, an adult presence was more than welcome at the moment. "Please, do come in."

It seemed not seconds before she had closed the door did another knock appear. Or it could've been minutes. Hours even. It was easier to lose track of time in this castle than she had been expecting. Making her way over to the door, she opened it up, gaze settling on the young girl who seemed more shy than anything at the moment. 'Course that made Medea smile. "Hello. Is there something you needed help vith?"

Well...
That was nice the girl was interested.
Leaning a little on the doorframe, Medea crossed her arms a little, though not in a stand-offish way. "Vell, you can keep an eye on the class noticeboard or your house noticeboard to see when lessons are." she said softly, smiling a little. "And then you can show up for the class. Simple as that. I do believe there is a lesson coming up very soon that you can attend."

Hearing the knocks, Medea put down whatever she was doing, which really wasn't anything important to begin with, and made her way over to the door. "Hello." she greeted once she opened it, spying the young lad sitting down. "Is there something I can help you vith?"

Once he reached the first floor, William set down the cruppy squirming under his arm and patted his head gently. He squatted down in an attempt to be closer to eye level with the dog, then got out his lecture finger.
"Now Jack, you lookie here," William started, giving the adorable animal a stern look. "No messes, all right? Just do your job and you'll get a nice, meaty reward at the end of the day. All right boy?" He waited for a bark of confirmation from the dog and then patted his head again, tucking a large bundle of loose catnip under his collar then. He waited for the dog to walk off before heading around the corner to wait behind a tapestry.
Jack gave out a little sneeze, not liking the tickle of the leaves on his skin, but he trotted off anyway. His little forked tail wagged back and forth as he approached the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, then, after checking to see the coast was mostly clear, the cruppy wandered up and started sniffing around.
Oh yep yep yep, his master had been right. This place stunk of CAT. Eww. Jack even had to put his tongue back in his mouth lest he accidentally taste some feline. Yucky yuck yuck. The crup growled to himself and made his way over to the professor's door, giving it a little scratch with his paw before he sat down to wait.

She was juuuuuust finishing up a few things, a few important things, when she heard that scratch on her door. She would have totally brushed it off as someone running by or whatever the case could have been...if it wasn't for Erma trying to stick her paw under the door.
Eh.
Putting down the charcoal piece, wiping her hands on a cloth as she walked over, Medea opened the door, simultaneously nudging her cat out of the way and expecting there to be a person out there. Nope. No person.
Aw, so he did go out every now and then. Medea shrugged her shoulders, but nodded anyhow. "I'd try everything once." Well, almost everything. She had her limits as surely did everyone else.
Looking up to him, she eyed the hand for only a moment before she grinned. It'd be nice to have a proper guide to explore the castle without the danger of becoming lost. "I have nothing else to do right now." She took his hand and stood up, grabbing her folder of papers and quill with the other. "If ve can stop by my office first though."
Really didn't want to be walking around with these the whole time.
"Everything?" Oliver asked with a raised eyebrow and a chuckle. He was liking her more and more as each minute passed.
With her hand still in his, he walked up to the first floor and down the corridor until they were outside her office. "Here we are." he said with a flourish. He would just wait outside for her although he might take a little peek when she went inside.

"Everything." she nodded, glancing at him out of the corner of her eyes. "Alright. Almost everything."
Grinning, she let go of his hand and flicked her wand out of it's holster to lift the locking charm on her door. "One second..." Using her foot to block any kitties from running out of her office, she quickly set her things down in the drawer of her desk, before hopping any friendly hellos from the cats to get back to her door. They were going to be the death of her, she knew it.
She shut the door behind her, ignoring the two pairs of fluffy paws sticking out from under the door trying to swat at her boots. "Alrighty. Where to?"

Oliver chuckled at her change in answer. "I think there's always something that a person won't do. Like I will never work with animals. I don't mind them, just at a distance." He shrugged his shoulders. "I blame William and Waylon." Especially William. Always shoving magical creatures in his face or in his bed. Stupid things like that.
When Medea went into her office, Oliver leaned up against the wall and got comfortable. A woman would tell you that they were only going to be a second but they always took longer than that.
But she was in fact very quick and he did notice the paws sticking out under the door but chose not to comment. "I was thinking the Whomping Willow. If that's okay with you?"
