This particular room has served as an office to a number of different professors over the years. Some of which include revered professors such as Septima Vector, Bree Geltz, Kali O'hara, Lesley Modulo Fox, Matthias Pythagoras Wenlock, Onyx Xavier Frost, and of course, Macadrian Ashling Shackleton-Clark. With each new Professor that has made this office homey, Josephina is sure they each brought their own particular flair to its decorations to accommodate their tastes. Just as Josephina did when she first entered upon this room just several years ago now.

The walls have been painted a light blue-gray color and there are a handful of paintings hung around the room, giving off a rather comfortable aura. One of the paintings is a rendition repainted by Josephina, herself, of a canal near her hometown in Perugia, Italy. There is a framed miniature Italian flag, as well as a third painting of of the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa.

As with typical office decorum, there is a large, polished wooden desk, that once belonged to each of her predecessors. There are a few neat stacks of papers and worksheets on the desk. There are also a few framed photographs sitting on her desk; one of Josephina posed with her two sisters, one of her parents, Nicole and Marcus, sitting on their couch. There's also a photograph of a baby girl, about toddler-aged, who will crawl around in the photo and maybe even disappear completely if you watch long enough, but have no fear, she'll be back! And an even more recent photograph, which you might recognize as your Herbology Professor with your Arithmancy one, taken on their recent trip to Italy. Behind the large wooden desk sits a black executive style chair. Directly on the other side of the desk - where visitors may sit - are two smaller black chairs, but still just as comfortable.

There's a bookcase on the left side, which contains various titles that Josephina collected over the years. Some these include, but are not limited to, The Complete Book of Numerology, New Theory of Numerology, Numerology and Gramatica, A Look Into The Future, and Olde and Forgotten Bewitchments and Charmes. There are also muggle classic books by Charles Dickens and Jane Austen, for which are a few of Fina's guilty pleasures.

Though the door is nearly always open, proper etiquette dictates knocking and addressing your identity before entering. Especially as Professor Hadley likely has her back to the door where she is playing with her puppy named Baisley or her kitten received from recent graduate, Lorelai Bristol, in which she conveniently named Bristol. Just entering without permission is rude and punishable with either point deduction and/or detention for being disrespectful.

OOC: No, there is no waiting area, but please do not clog up this thread with useless chatter of 'waiting to enter'. Have your character knock and then wait for Professor Hadley to respond to either enter or to come back later.

There are plenty of places around the school that allow for chat with your friends; Professor Hadley's office is NOT the place for it and doing as such will be cause for appropriate discipline actions.

Any questions or concerns or appointment requests, please PM me.

The door is AJAR!

Alyssa needed to speak with her Head of House. Now that she was facing detention, she neede advice from her, both as Head of House, and Professor of Arithmancy, on how she was going make up for all the classes that she would be missing, while she was serving detention.

So feeling really ashamed of herself, Alyssa still made sure that her shoes were clean before she reluctantly knocked on the door.

KNOCK! KNOCK! and waited for the Professor to reply.

Thank you for taking the time to see me and if you do ever need any help with anything please let me know." Minerva turned to head out of the office.

Minerva was going to tryout for quidditch? Well that was . . . surprising. "Thank you and good luck," Fina corrected, but as the second year turned to leave, she added something else. "And Miss Wheatborn? Actually there is something you can do. You're not a new Hufflepuff anymore, thus as a returning Badger, my request is to help the new ones in whatever way you can. Set an example." That was all.

NO?

"Bu-bu-but." He pouted. Then to his surprise Messer heard his Head of House laughing. She was joking? She WAS joking. "I thought you're serious there, Professor." he sighed in relief.

Perhaps she shouldn't joke or make puns. But the next one, she couldn't resist. "Not at all. Since my name is Hadley, not Sirius." Ahem.

But anyway. "Is there anything else I can help you with today, Messer?"

He grinned pulling out a box of chocolates. He had charmed them to be extra sweet and chewy. I thought I'd give you these.

ooc. they aren't

...with Oakey's luck he probably charmed them to be Spicy with out knowing it.

Word spreads fast at Hogwarts; she smiled when he mentioned the head of house thing. "That is true. Last term was my first term as the Hufflepuff House Head."

More gifts? Students today were way more thoughtful than when she attending Hogwarts; giving gifts to Professors? Pfft. As if. Nonetheless though she smiled gratefully, "Thank you, dear. Very thoughtful of you." Even if she rarely consumed chocolates during the school term. She was sure the students would appreciate such treats in her first lesson....

"Well.." he dropped his hands from their folded position, better to dramatize with.." I was moping to myself and a bigger boy started chewing me about about not wanting to be in the yellow houses and then a crazy girl walked up to me and started yelling, then she left. Then this morning, I went to the duck pond and I was trying to catch the ducks when a girl in my year started yelling at me, then she hugged me..three times! Even though I told her to leave me alone..then..." He frowned." She said I was cute.." Hmph.

What was this? The headboy lied to him?! This woman could not resort him? He threw an I'm going to get you look at the boy then turned back to professor Hadley.

"So then who does?" His shoulders slumped in disappointment then he nodded but said nothing to what the professor said. He supposed he would have to either end up liking this house or find some other way to fix this.

Josephina turned back to the ~~unhappy~~ First year and nearly frowned when he called Hufflepuff a sissy house. But then corrected himself to almost; which was slightly better, albeit not much. Sigh.

Defiance. She noticed that about the boy. Stubborn too. Cute? "Girls are funny people sometimes." She would know. "But you know, if it gets to be a problematic habit, you could always come find me.... If it bothers you that much." She would just tell them to knock it off. Unless somehow the boy surmised some Lion courage and was able to tell them himself, but she doubted that would happen for at least a year or two.

Who does?

"Er.. No one.." she said quietly, her eyes flicking to Treyen; what had he told him? "Like I said, the sorting hat has its reasons for sorting someone as such. And though occasionally it will make mistakes, it's actually quite reliable." That's why it's been used for so many thousands of sortings.

New timeline.... i think

KNOCK! KNOCK! and waited for the Professor to reply.

Having had her office clear out from the initial start of term rush, Josephina had settled into preparations for her first lesson. When two knocks subsequently interrupted her train of thought.

"Come in." She said, compiling her notes together into a neat stack. Was it another Hufflepuff? Had there been some sort of issue? She should have gone to the Common Room already.

Bazinga · 01-10-2012, 04:47 PM

Minerva gave a small smile. "I will try the best that I can Professor. I want to be a top badger again this year even if this term as started not so great. Have a great day Professor."

Alyssa entered the office. She felt so ashamed but she had to let know the Professor what was happening. Chances are already she knew, but Alyssa felt that she should still let her know. "Thank you for taking the time to speak with me, Professor. I know that you are busy preparing for our first lesson, so I won't take up too much of your time." Alyssa stopped to take a deep breath. She told herself that she wasn't going to cry in front of the Professor, so she forced herself to hold back her tears.

"I know that you most likely have heard that I've been given detention. I want to apologize for letting both the House and you down. I know that you were relying on me to help with the House Points. I don't know how many classes I will be missing, but I promise that I will still continue to do the Homework. I so wanted to be a Golden Badger this year, but somehow I don't think that I'll be on the list this term." Alyssa sighed thinking about that. That was one of the things she regretted the most. That she would miss her chance to be on the list let alone the top student again. Her parents had been so proud when she learnt that she had been the top student in the Hufflepuff house but she shuddered to think what they were going to say once they found out about her detention. "Anyway, that is all I have to say. Again I'm sorry for disappointing you and the House. I will be reporting for detention right now."

Alyssa looked up at the Professor knowing that she would be seeing reproof and disappointment on her face.

Laura know that she had to get this over with or the Crazy Charms Lady would take off more points, well at least she wasn't going to be here so she could tell the Professor all about what had happened, she was a bit scared of Professor Hadley but well the soon she told her the quicker it would be over, knocking on the door she waited to be let in.

Minerva walked with Laura to Hadley's office. She liked visiting Professor Hadley she just wished it wasn't for this reason, but it was showing that she was taking the Professor's advice in helping the first years. She looked at Laura who looked so scared. "Laura, Professor Hadley is nice stop worrying so much. As long as you work hard and earn points back you will be fine."

Sophie was just behind them and listened as Minerva told Laura that Professor Hadley was nice. She liked that. She was eager to meet their Head of House!

Alyssa looked up at the Professor knowing that she would be seeing reproof and disappointment on her face.

Josephina swallowed as one of her third years entered the office. There was something in the girl's face that told her that this meeting wasn't just for fun like her last one. She nodded when Alyssa mentioned not taking too much of her time and waited for what the meeting was about.

Oh. No, she hadn't yet, but she presumed she was going to hear about it sooner or later. And there was something in the girl's earnest tone that made her feel comforted by the fact that Alyssa had thought to come to her first. "Miss Potter... Alyssa..." she said, perching up straighter in her seat. "You're a Hufflepuff, first and foremost. And maybe you made a mistake. We all do. But I don't want you to let this little slip-up think you've let me down. Sure I'm displeased. But I think your fellow Hufflepuffs probably are just as displeased with the way hourglasses look now." The girl didn't lose points, did she? "There's still time, is what I'm trying to say. So as you go report for your detention, I want you to remember that. You're a Hufflepuff. You work hard. What you do, you do it for others. You're loyal to a fault. And don't ever forget that."

She sighed again, willing herself to not scold the girl. She was already in detention. "But when you get out of detention, I do request something. That you come back here and tell me not only what you did wrong, but what you've learned from your mistakes. Because mistakes are nothing, if you haven't learned from them."

Josephina heard another knock. At this rate, she was never going to finish her lesson plans. Perhaps just ad-libbing it would be best. She was good at that on most days.

"Come in," she called to whoever awaited on the other side of her door, unaware that it was not one, but two Hufflepuffs.

Bazinga · 01-11-2012, 02:38 AM

Minerva walked in with Laura she decided to speak to the professor first. "Hello Professor. I hope you are doing well." she smiled. "Professor I have come with my new friend Laura she is a first year in our house and was needing to speak with you about something that happened in charms. I have been trying to help her out so I have only come with her for support." Minerva wanted to support Laura and be a good role model just like Professor Hadley had asked her to be, plus she really did like Laura even if she had frustrated her in class. "Professor this is Sophie another first year she just wanted to meet you." Minerva smiled at the two girls hoping with her talking first they wouldn't be so nervous.

Thank you for your time Professor Hadley. He smiled I do hope you enjoy those chocolates He politely let himself out of her office past a couple of other students.

But even though there were no Snakes in her office right now, she bit her tongue to refrain from speaking ill of her colleague. Instead, she just shook her head, ignoring Treyen's obviously dazed state of mind.

Hey! Professor Lafay was NOT crazy, okay, Hadley?

Of course, he didn't comment. This was probably the first time he'd heard her laugh, and it was kind of nice. Which made him forget what she'd been laughing about...and what he'd been thinking as well.

Yeah, awesome Prefect, no?

"Yeah well it's rude to not tell me stuff and allow crazy girls to beat me up!" He tilted his head up to eye the headboy with a mean look. Well even if his look didn't come out very mean, it was the intent that mattered...right?

What was this? The headboy lied to him?! This woman could not resort him? He threw an I'm going to get you look at the boy then turned back to professor Hadley.

Whaaaaat? Someone was imitating him! The nerves of this kid!

And he chuckled. Girls couldn't hurt him. Plus, he seemed like the kind of boy that was able to hurt more girls than he intended, why? Because he was incredibly and brutally honest. He was bound to make more than a few girls cry.

So, Treyen folded his arms across his chest as well. What was he supposed to tell him, now? Hogwarts stuff was something you learned through the years, no one could tell you everything about it on one night.

And, after Tye had been talking to Fina, he noticed the look that the first year had given him and...smirked.

There it is! He wasn't getting sorted. Awww, Treyen's bad. No harm done, just hopes and dreams crushed, no big deal.

"Well, my job here is done." CLEARLY. "I'll see you around, Professor Hadley." Wink. Yeah, Tye could stay with her.

And with that...the Head Boy was out.

Did..Did..Did his Head of House just threw a joke?!

Arya didn't mention that Mummy Badger can joke too. All this time he thought that all Professors were uptight and boring. He officially LOVE his Head of House!

Messer tried so hard not to laugh because that would be rude, right? "No, Professor. That would be all." he said. "Thank you so much for your time, Mam. Good day." he stood up and made his way toward the door.

Alyssa walked up to the door of Professor Hadley's office. Who would have thought she would be visiting her office so many times this term. Well the Professor had requested that she come and see her after she had served her detention, and so Alyssa was here as requested. She made sure that her shoes were clean before she raised her hand and knocked on the door.

KNOCK! KNOCK!!

Josephina nodded in appreciation once more, as Oakey excused himself from the office. Perhaps it was her imagination, but he seemed slightly disappointed she hadn't tried a chocolate right then and there. Though, didn't he know? It was quite rude to begin devouring a gift at the moment it was given.

That was what she told herself anyway.

Before she could comment or argue against it - he had only come here to escort a first year - he was out. Pity.

"You're welcome, dear," she said, already quite liking the nature of this first year. And like the others initially visiting her office, he was gone as well. Now she could finally get back to preparations.

Oh. Minerva had taken her words to heart! Well that was a bit surprising, but also comforting in the same, as she hadn't expected the girl to have done so with such eager intensity. "Thank you, Minerva." She said appreciatively, as she turned toward the two first years the girl had brought with her.

Aw. She was so ickle and adorable and Josephina just wanted to hug her! But that would have been highly unprofessional. So instead, she just inserted a warm smile. "Pleasure to meet you as well, Sophie! Are you getting acclimated to everything okay?" Not that she needed to ask; the girl had befriended Minerva Wheatborn, afterall. Not to mention she totally had two of the best prefects in her house. But it was customary to have asked.

And the other girl presented herself to Fina, in which Josephina, taking in the girl's expression, was sure this wasn't just a friendly visit. Oh wait, something rang a bell; something happened in Charms. Oh no! What had Althea done? She knew there was something up with the woman since she first appeared at the feast just over a year ago. But now... she was certain of it. Althea was torturing her Hufflepuffs.

"Have you now?" she asked kindly, sensing fear in the first year's voice. "And what, may I ask, has required your presence here by Professor Schirmer?"

KNOCK! KNOCK!!

Another knock. Just as Josephina finished the last couple notes on her lesson plans.

Looking up from her parchment, she raised a curious glance before calling out her all to customary - this term anyway - "Come in, please." And then compiled her notes into a neat stack off to the side on her desk.

Laura looked at the Professor and sighed. "I answered a Question and lost 5 points." Okay so she had given a funny answer but still the mean woman didn't have to take points, "And then........" Laura stopped suddenly before continuing. "I thought she could use a hug and so I gave her one." It was going to be the last time Laura helped anyone. "She took 10 points off me for that." Okay so Laura had told the Professor now seriously did she have to tell her what the answer to the Question was.

Alyssa entered Professor Hadley when she was granted permission to enter. "Uh, good evening, Professor. I just wanted to let you know that I have served my detention. You asked me to return to see you once I was done to let you know what had happened and what lessons I've learned from my detention.

What happened was that I was in the Hospital Wing and I didn't immediately do what the Healer wanted me to do, which was to go get the younger students. It wasn't that I wasn't deliberately intending on disobeying her. I just wanted to protect the younger ones and keep them out of trouble but I know that it wasn't my decision to make. I disrespected the Healer, even though it was not my intent.

While I was serving detention, I learned that no matter how much I disagreed with what the Professors or any of the school staff tell me to do, I still have to carry it out. To not do so shows disrespect and is rude. One more thing, I was reminded that I should count to ten and think before opening my mouth to speak.

I again am sorry for causing all this trouble and dishonoring the House and you have my word that this will not happen again." Alyssa finished telling her Head of House.

Not to mention she totally had two of the best prefects in her house. But it was customary to have asked.

Sophie was really glad that her Head of House was so nice! She hadn't disliked any of the Professors, but not all of them were the nice-type, she noticed. But the woman was a Hufflepuff, so it was obvious she would be super cool!
"Yes, ma'am! Everything's so great and people are so nice and friendly!" Sophie was still smiling when she answered. She knew Hogwarts would be awesome, but she never expected to have so much fun while learning. "I'm really looking forward to your lessons, Professor!"

At last, Sophie looked at Laura, waiting to hear what she would tell Professor Hadley. She was smiling at her friend, hoping this would give her the support she needed. Sophie knew Laura didn't mean any of it, but truly hoped the girl would learn to stop making other Professors angry and losing house points. Maybe she just needed a friend around to tell her when to stop. Sophie would be glad to be this friend, if Laura wanted.

Ah, but he was coming again, for the second time this year, and he even knocked! Treyen knocked this time, because his business was a complete different one than the first time he'd...stepped inside Hadley's office without permission.

And so, the Head Boy waited until Hadley decided it was safe for him to enter her office. Hopefully some time soon. Or, well, he had no preference, though, if he had to wait, then he'll wait. He didn't have Tye this time around, so he was free to relax a lot more.

Also, Treyen came with a small gift for her. Not that it mattered much.

FireboltAvis88 · 01-18-2012, 07:46 PM

Alyssa figured that while she was here, that she might as well, give the Professor the photo frame that she had made as part of her Transfiguration Lesson Homework assignment. She hoped that the Professor would like it. It wasn't really made of gold or anything, unless the charm actually changed the paper into real gold if you colored the picture in gold, and that would be awesome, but Alyssa hoped that the Professor would like the color. So she brought it out of her bag and presented it with two hands to the Professor.

"Professor, I also wanted to give you this photo frame that I made as part of our Transfiguration Homework Assignment. We're supposed to give it to someone, and I decided that I would give it to you. I hope that you will be able to use it." Alyssa smiled handing it over to her.

Harvey knocked on Professor Hadley's door and waited for her to answer.. this was the first time that he had ever come to this professor's office.

Davvy_Wavvy · 01-23-2012, 11:40 AM

Once again Tyler found himself back here but not to get resorted, he was kind of over that for now. He had a complaint to make on the evil Charms professor. Surely she wasn't allowed to take points when he did nothing wrong. So he was here to get Sunshine lady to melt the ice queen. Because thats what they both were..total opposites.

He knocked on the door and waited, rocking on his heels a bit while he did so.

Wait .... WHAT? "You lost points for answering a question?" Fina stared incredulously at the first year, frowning. "Did you forget your manners or something in raising your hand?" Like, WHY would Althea do such a thing? That was just plain insulting. Clearly the woman had it in for her house. And she thought it was Hecate who she had to worry about. Oh, but Laura wasn't finished. "Oh. Well the hug thing. That I could understand. You were in the middle of a lesson and that's just plain rude to embrace your professors, particularly during a lesson. But the losing points for answering a question; I need to know more." Because clearly Laura was leaving something out.

Turning from Laura to look at the other first year in her office, she smiled. It was clear to her why Sophie was sorted as a Hufflepuff; she had this radiance emanating from her that just seemed contagious. Not to mention a certain way about her.... a sort of brilliance, but not just in book smarts. Just overall. "That's awesome to hear! I'm glad."

Oh. Alyssa had returned. Smiling warmly at the third year, as she launched into her full out explanation of what occurred during her detention, she listened and waited for her to finish.

"Not just that though, dear. It's about respecting authority. While you're in school, your professors are your authority. Even once you graduate and get a job someplace, your boss will be your authority. How do you think the Headmaster would feel if I told him I wasn't going to do something because I disagreed?" She said as an example, but didn't wait for a response.

"Probably not very content with me." And she'd probably be out a job. "But yes, counting to ten and reminding yourself that it's okay to do somethings asked of you, even if you don't agree, is definitely a good measure. Now, if it's something that would be hazardous to your health - which I highly doubt any professor of this institution would ask you do something of that nature, then that on the other hand, would be the exception where you might want to question their request."

"But I'm glad you had a good learning experience and I do expect to hear nothing more about this in the future."

But then, Alyssa added something else, besides her visit about her detention. Watching as the third year reached into her bag and presented her with the gift, she smiled gratefully. "Oh. Oh... It's lovely, yes! Thank you, Alyssa! That was very thoughtful of you." Considering how she loved traveling and taking photos, she most definitely would find a use for the frame.

Another knock. Merlin, it was only November. "Come in," she said simply, setting her quill down as she waited for the visitor to present themselves.

Another knock. "Come in," she said, vaguely wondering in the back of her mind which Hufflepuff it was requiring her assistance and words of wisdom this time.

Just as she was about ready to get settled into marking participation for her first lesson, another knock interrupted her. To which she looked up, setting her quill back down and said simply - and rather routinely it seemed - "come in."

A silvery mist in the shape of a gazelle came through the semi-open door and stopped in front of the desk, Professor Romanos' unmistakable accent ringing through the room.
