The office of Professor William Walter Williamson rests out on the grounds, not too far away from where the hut of former Groundskeeper, hero, and legendary Care of Magical Creatures Professor Rubeus Hagrid was once located.
WWW's office looks nothing like Hagrid's hut, however. Outside the hut are a few fancy-looking green and silver painted wooden benches, worn by the weather but comfortable to rest up upon anyway. Once you are admitted within the office (it's small, so William can only see a few students at a time), you will notice that the office is surprisingly bright, with both modern and classical influences.
The back wall, which is really a green shelving unit, contains several brass lamps and numerous books, mostly old textbooks on creatures and wizarding communications from WWW's university days. There are also a variety of photos, several of which contain current Hogwarts professors... although they look quite a bit younger there. A few awards and certificates rest in fancy frames as well as a complete collection of Chocolate Frog cards.
There is a plush couch on the right side of the office for students to sit upon and a few wooden chairs in front of Professor Williamson's desk for visitor's too. Interestingly enough, the desk seems to emit an occasional bark or growl, and you have to wonder... are the rumors true? Did the professor really hollow out his desk and turn it into a doghouse for his cruppy Jack?
Have a seat, take a load off your feet, ask what questions you will, and see if your new professor can help you out.

And she had an ulterior motive for coming, did she? Williamson steepled his fingers together and blinked across the desk at Alyssa. Hmm... "Well Alyssa, I hate to say no, but I'm going to have to. I've noticed some different... things going on outside the Sanctuary and I'm rather concerned about the hippogriffs, threstrals, and other animals that roam near or in the forest, to be honest. Tell you what we'll do: after our next Care of Magical Creatures lesson, I'll take you and whoever else wants to go out to see the hippogriffs you all worked with last term, as long as we can find them. How's that sound?"
He smiled pleasantly, hoping she'd accept this deal. There was just no way he was letting a student go into or even near the forest alone now, not with that thestral that had been hanging out near the gate and all.
"Oh that sound like a great idea, Professor. Thank you for allowing us to do that. I understand your concerns. The creatures outside the sanctuary have been acting strange. Did you know that a Bowtruckle has been spotted in the Topiary Garden? Have they been known to show themselves to the students before?" Alyssa asked the Professor.
Following the Professors invite, she stepped into the bright office, surprised by the fact that although it was out in the middle of the Hogwarts Grounds, it looked nothing like the wilderness that could sometimes be felt outside. It just looked like part of the castle, an extention of some sort. It was furnished nicely and was warm in contrast to the biting breeze that had seemed to begun in the coming weeks of winter. Taking a quick glance around Kendra could see piles of book on creatures she had never heard off pearched precariously on shelves. She wished she could walk over to them, but there was no time.
But now back to busisness. She slowly walked over to the wooden chair opposite the Professors desk, sitting down on the edge of it. She had never been inside a teachers office before, so wasn't too sure how to act, even though she knew that this was not the time to be nervous.
The first thing she did was almost scream as the desk seemed to growl at her, what on earth? She hadn't seen the animal belonging to the growl, so had no clue what was happening. She froze, waiting until the professor came in.

Whew, she took that well. Good. Williamson started nodding at first, but then quickly shook his head at mention of a wandering bowtruckle.
"No," he mused, leaning across his desk toward Alyssa, "no, I hadn't heard about that, but I'm sure that's nothing." Bowtruckles probably found the topiaries interesting too. "Did Way--- er, Groundskeeper Murdoch do anything about it?"

Williamson hadn't realized that he'd forgotten about Jack temporarily. Apparently, the crup had retreated back into his desk doghouse and was now growling at the Ravenclaw and her rat. William gave his desk a sharp kick, nothing that would harm Jack but would hopefully get him to be quiet, and smiled politely across at the girl.
"So, your rat has changed colors. Is that normal for it?" He gestured for her to set the pet on his desk for an examination.

Kendra looked at the Professor a bit strangely when he kicked his desk and it stopped growling, although didn't ask a question about it. Maybe there was something living in it? She had heard that the Professor had some sort of a pet, but for the life of her she couldn't remember what it was. She remembered seeing a sign saying that something didn't like muggle borns, but still no species name came to mind.
'Nope, at least he hasn't changed colours in the space of time I've owned him.' Kendra replied, gently lifting the orange rat up from her lap and placing him on the surface of the desk, hoping he wouldn't bite. 'I just found him like that this morning when I woke up, I'm not too sure what could of caused it.'

Hmm that didn't sound too.... bowtruckle like, but then again, there was bound to be one odd apple in every barrel.
"Nah, don't worry about it." Willy waved his hand dismissively. "I'll speak to Murdoch later. Thanks for stopping by though, Alysssa." He gave her a nod and then turned his attention to the other occupants of his office, eying Ed for a moment.
Hmm, he was still sitting there quietly. All right. He'd just hurry up with these next few kids though.

"Did you buy him from a magical creatures pet store?" William asked curiously, gently reaching a hand out to stroke the rat. He was soft, his fur felt normal, and he didn't appear to be doing anything odd, so.......
Maybe it was just a spell. "Do you think that perhaps one of your roommates was testing her charms out last night?" He smiled and patted the rat again, drawing his wand out from his wrist holster.

'Yea, I bought him before I came here, from the shop in Diagon Alley.' She tried to recall the name of it, but past remembering how amazed she had been when she had stepped inside, not many other details came to her. And she had definatly been in the normal rats section, she had seen plenty of people buying a rat from the area here she had got hers and they all seemed ok.
'Possibly.' She thought back to the night before, thinking that maybe this was possible. But she would've noticed, wouldn't she? 'The rat.' Wow, that sounded great. 'He was eating a strange colour jelly bean whilst he was sitting on my trunk last night. You see, that seems to be all he eats, ever since I got him, do you think that could be the cause of it?'

"The Magical Menagerie?" William supplied helpfully. He picked up the rat in one hand and sort of dangled it there, holding it by its midsection. Not it, he, William noted.
A strange color jellybean, eh? "I doubt it was the beans," Will laughed. "They were just Bertie Bott's beans, right? No... Weasley's Wizard Wheezes product?" He didn't recall their stock having any sort of candy that changed people's color back when HE had worked there....

Yes that was the shop name. Kendra nodded when he said that, adding the thoughts to that name. She watched as he held the rat up, watching it.
She thought about the packaging. Nope, it was definatly Bertie Botts, she hadn't been into Weasley's Wizard Wheezes when she was in Diagon Alley, there had been no time after buying her wand. 'They should be Bertie Botts.' She told him, 'Maybe it was a spell afterall and I just didn't see? Could you give it a try anyways Sir? Try to reverse it?' She asked, it would be worth a shot after all.

"Oh sure, it's no problem at all." Williamson nodded and whipped out his wand, still holding the rat gently so it wouldn't get away before he had a chance to cast on it.
"Multicorfors naturalis!" he murmured aloud, mostly for the girl's benefit so that she would be able to reverse the spell next time on her own. The rat squeaked but reverted to its original, dull color.
"There ya go!" Williamson smiled at her. "You could always just use 'finite incantatem' instead, to stop a spell still at work on your pet or you." He held the rat out across the desk to give back to his owner.

Whilst William reigned in his office like a king, Edvard sat silent on the sofa and quietly waited for the endless row of student’s to weed out of the hut. The student’s all had different reasons to see Williamson. When the rat was returned to its owner Edvard cleared his throat to make use of the time in between student crowds. Still with a slightly haunted look about him Edvard asked "William have you been reading the Aparecium lately?"
Throwing his crumbled edition of the paper on his colleague’s desk the Astronomy Professor continued hotly "They’ve got it all backwards!! I’m as far from a ‘player’ as you can get and I don’t have a romantic relationship with Josephina. What they are implying is just....."
But it affected him none the less and he was upset and a not little self conscious as he had spent many a night up till now trying to figure out why they had used that word to describe his actions which he himself thought were harmless. "I just don’t understand William." Edvard concluded before eyeing his shoes.

"I just don’t understand William." Edvard concluded before eyeing his shoes.
Once the students had mostly cleared out of his office, William turned to Ed and picked up the crumpled paper now on his desk. Hmm. What was this? "Aparecium?" Will echoed Eddie, reading the headline that did indeed say that. "Never heard of it." Now he had, though. His brows furrowed together as he started reading the article, which apparently linked Eddie to both Althea AND Josephina.
"Well," he said as he finished, tossing it down on his desk, "this is clearly nothing more than a rubbish gossip rag, you've got that right. I mean, you're definitely not ah," he glanced at the paper again, "'brewing' romance with Josephina, right? And...." he eyed it again, "AND with Thea? I find that hard to believe."
William let out a loud guffaw at the idea. Thea and Ed? Nawwwww. That was just silly. She was way too hot-tempered for him. Willy ran a hand through his hair as he continued chuckling, almost not noticing as Aparecium suddenly let out a little sizzle and changed to a new article.
"Wait, wait a minute, what is THIS?" Williamson snatched the paper right off his desk and held it close to his face, gasping unexpectedly as HE was apparently the title character of the latest gossip! "Have you seen THIS ONE?!" he squeaked, his voice going up an octave accidentally. "COMPLETE AND TOTAL RUBBISH!"
William tossed the paper back to Ed with a snarl, standing up from his desk and pacing around the room. "I mean, we, we, we MIGHT have danced, but but but I'm no player!" He wasn't even DATING anyone at the moment. "WHO WRITES THIS.....STUFF?!!"

"Didn’t Hogwarts have a gossip paper when you went here William?" Edvard was surprised that the ex-hogwarts graduate hadn’t heard of the paper. William if anyone seemed to be informed about things or was that just an image he tried give off? It seemed like the aparecium was an installation like all the portraits or the magical ceiling in the Great Hall.
He watched the COMC professor as he read the article about himself and Josephina and their supposed ‘brewing of romance’. It was silly. If anyone was brewing anything it was the children who kept eavesdropping on their professors.
"Certainly not, I’m not 'brewing' anything I don’t even know how they reached that absurd assumption. I’m good friends with both Althea and Josephina." Edvard of course left out some important secrets parts but that was only natural since he didn’t know William very well.
He was not at all pleased that William had a good hearty laugh at his expense for the idea of him with Althea. Why did everyone discard that idea besides him as impossible? Shrugging Edvard flailed a bit as William squeaked in a too loud voice. Rubbing his ears he took the paper as he watched his colleague pace around the room.
Scanning the article Edvard commented "I see they’ve made a colourful piece about you too." Folding it up he threw the paper onto his colleagues desk. "I take it you and Cecilia are just good friends then?" He enquired.

"Not that I recall," William frowned. "If it did, well, it'd just have to be passed down from student to student. It's not an official, school-sanctioned thing like the Quill or the Yearbook." Was it?!! If there was a staff member behind these hijinks... Tate was going to have one very outraged professor on his hands.
Ed was just friends with them both, right, just like how Willy was ONLY friends with Cece. "Right, right," he nodded. "But if... you know, if we're both 'just friends' with these women..." he sneaked a glance at Edvard from the corner of his eye, "then where did Aparecium and its writers get the idea that we're anything MORE? I mean, JUST BECAUSE Cece and I DID dance in a tavern full of students on a crowded Hogsmeade weekend... doesn't mean anything...."
Will coughed. "What about you though, Ed?" He settled back into his chair and started folding the paper up into small sections with great detail. "Surely there's got to be SOME truth to your article....?"
He was just asking. As a friend and a colleague, after all.

"If you say so," Edvard shrugged. "I never attended Hogwarts so I don’t really know which papers are officially school sanctioned or not. The aparecium seem to be the hottest thing amongst the student’s regardless if we approve or not." A paper like the aparecium needed to be run by someone if not a professor then by one of the Head student’s but he wasn’t really concerned about that. He was concerned with what they wrote about him.
Yes just Friends. He wanted to be more than just friends with one of the two ladies in question, but he wasn’t about to admit that. Edvard wasn’t certain that William had casted a muffilato spell on his hut like he had promised. If he told his colleague a secret of the juicier kind then the Astronomy Professor was dead certain that it would appear in the morning’s edition of the gossip rag.
Being sucked into William’s way of thinking Edvard said without thinking much about it. "On the Kingscross platform at the beginning of term I smacked into a bench and scratched up my face pretty bad as I landed on the ground. Althea showed up like a savior and patched my face up on the train since I couldn’t look like a train wreck at the opening feast." It would have frightened the student’s and not to mention rendered him curious looks from his colleagues.
Then there was Josephina…Hmm. Edvard coughed, then continued."I met Josephina in the library several weeks ago in a stressed state. I was trying to ease her mind when we stumbled upon two student’s who acted inappropriately and gave them detention. As payback I guess they sent in the less than flattering article about me being a Casanova." Totally logical explanation right?
*hugs* I'm just glad you didn't forget me totally! :D

You didn't have to go to Hogwarts to figure this one out, is what William wanted to say. Instead he just shook his head. "No, it's definitely not school- or professor-approved by anyone I know." So. That was that.
"Ohhh so she got close to your face and some student probably saw and thought you two were snogging... that explains that." Will nodded. See, he knew Ed was no player - especially not around Althea. Ha. Good luck to him with THAT. "Glad she fixed you up though, mate."
He nodded again at the story about Josephina. "That totally makes sense. See, both of those happened around students so it would make sense for them to SEE things, INFER things about those things, and then start GOSSIPING about them all." Yep. His not-a-date with Cece had been in a public place too.
William let out a little reassuring chuckle to himself. "Good to know we're not being STALKED or anything. Heh."

"Think it be different if it was professor approved? We can’t really control what they write in it anyway since that would be prevention of the freedom of speech." Edvard posed a statement curious to hear Williams view. Intelligent conversation he liked.
Snogging?? "Er, right that’s probably it. I found Kurumi Hollingberry outside the compartment when I heard a noise. She said she was searching for a mouse I guess she was actually eavesdropping and fed a few lies to the gossip paper." It was a little upsetting to come to that revelation. Edvard was fond of the Gryffindor Prefect.
Nodding, he touched his face absent mindedly where the scratches had been. "So am I. It would have been pretty horrible to sit through a feast with people staring at your face."
"So what you are saying is that if we as staff don’t want to end up in the gossip column we shouldn’t talk in public areas or at least in areas which student’s don’t frequent. If we do that how can we keep keep an eye on them which is our jobs?" Er was Edvard getting the right idea? How were they supposed to keep themselves away from students and why should they have to? Student’s shouldn’t be so suspicious and reading more into things that what was going on.

Snogging?? "Er, right that’s probably it. I found Kurumi Hollingberry outside the compartment when I heard a noise. She said she was searching for a mouse I guess she was actually eavesdropping and fed a few lies to the gossip paper." It was a little upsetting to come to that revelation. Edvard was fond of the Gryffindor Prefect.
Nodding, he touched his face absent mindedly where the scratches had been. "So am I. It would have been pretty horrible to sit through a feast with people staring at your face."
"So what you are saying is that if we as staff don’t want to end up in the gossip column we shouldn’t talk in public areas or at least in areas which student’s don’t frequent. If we do that how can we keep keep an eye on them which is our jobs?" Er was Edvard getting the right idea? How were they supposed to keep themselves away from students and why should they have to? Student’s shouldn’t be so suspicious and reading more into things that what was going on.
"Sure we can," William shrugged. "Students don't really have rights, when you think about it. Ever heard of that Dolores Umbridge lady? I bet she never had to put up with something like Aparecium..." No, she just had to deal with a small army of students. No biggie.
Kurumi was behind this?! William let out a little gasp and shook his head disapprovingly. "I can't believe a Prefect would feed lies to a little magazine like this." He slapped his hand on the Aparecium paper loudly. "You know what we should do?" Will leaned toward Edvard a bit, an odd glint lighting up his dark eyes. "We should RETALIATE."
That's EXACTLY what they should do. Professor power, hello! "No, we can talk all we want," William clarified. "In fact, the more we do, the better. We'll just FEED stories to this aparecium thing. Create drama. Stir the pot. Turn the tables on these Aparecium writers and make up stories about the STUDENTS. If the focus stays on THEM and not on US... then we'll have hijacked the whole purpose of their paper and they'll all lose the joy they got out of reading it!"
He let out a somewhat maniacal cackle and slouched down in his desk chair, rubbing his hands together evilly. He had no idea if Ed had understood any of that crazy rambling, but he felt somewhat better after saying it. Heh.

At first, William thought Selena had said, 'Clarke keeps licking lint,' and he wondered what the girl was doing with an excess of lint. Maybe the house elves were not doing a good job of taking care of laundry these days, who knew. Hmm hmm.
Ooh, PB&J! "Lemme see sammich!" the professor changed the subject abruptly, looking all around Selena rather like a hungry crup. "I was just about to have lunch, so you have perfect timing." Also, he didn't know what time she was talking about making him mad, so that was whatever.
He took a step back into the hut, motioning for her to follow, and cast a glance over his shoulder at the pup crup. "I doubt he's broken," he chuckled, reaching a hand out to take the dog. "But I'll look at him anyway. Just be warned, I do have a crup living in my desk too." So hopefully they would get along for the duration of the visit.
See... sammich? RIGHT. And she had perfect timing. So... whatever right? And he didn't seem to remember dragging her out of the Forbidden Forest soooo...
Selena stepped into the little hut and looked around the place. Hey look, it wasn't like a dungeon like she thought it'd be like. Wasn't that surprise? Selena passed the little cruppy to the professor and then pulled out a peanut butter and jelly bean sammich out of her bag. "Here you go professor!" Selena said beaming.
There was a crup living in his desk?! . . . how did a crup fit into a desk? Was he locked in a drawer or something? That was horrible. "What your crup's name?" Selena asked, quite tempted to open a drawer and look for the crup in the desk. Or was he... built into the desk?! A wood crup?!

Willy started petting the cruppy once he was in his arms, trying to refrain from giggling at the way the dog started licking him. "Thanks," he said happily, sitting back down in his seat and stuffing half the sandwich in his mouth with one hand.
Speaking of Jack.... "His name is Jackson Patches Williamson," he informed the girl proudly, giving the desk a little nudge with his foot. It started barking and a gentle little clawing/scratching sound could be heard from within. "The desk is a hollowed-out doghouse of sorts," he added by way of explanation. "I'm sure he'll smell Clarke and come wiggling out of there in a minute."
So, back to Clarke. Willy finished nomming the rest of his sandwich and rested the puppy in his lap, swiveling slightly to tap his trusty teapot behind him. The thing started boiling slowly and he swiveled back to Selena. "So tell me more about this Clarke-Kent thing." As far as he was concerned, it didn't really sound like a problem at all....
"Is Kent with you?"

The professor was weird. Plus. He could stuff half a sammich in his mouth. Which was just weird. Selena was probably an EXPERT in that field too. "You're welcome professor. Any weird flavor jelly beans in there?" Selena asked, still eying the professor. Because, y'know, who knew? What if he choked? Selena would just grab Clarke and run for it. Yup.
Totally made sense in her head. Unlike his desk. "Can I call him Jackie?" Selena asked, looking at the desk. Nope. It was probably a crup made of wood. It was all MAGIC. WAIT. Wiggling? Did that mean he was a WORM?! Wait a moment. Did... CLARKE wiggle?! Were crups part worm?! Naaah. They would've said something about it, right? She started to pet the purple pygmy puff on her head. Because she was cool. And so was Kent. "SOOOOO. I had Kent. Then one day, I bought Clarke. I knew they were going to be best friends and all that. Because they're COOL. So then I put them together for a moment. And then... Clarke was licking Kent. And Clarke keeps licking Kent. It's weird. And gross like Kent's snot eating problem."
That about summed it up. Selena continued to pet the pygmy puff on her head. "Kent's right hereeee!!" Selena said, pointing at the pygmy puff on her head. And eying the VERY weird professor. Who finished the sammich already... nice.

William slowed his chewing of the last of the sammich still in his mouth, giving Selena a bit of a gaping stare. "Jelly beans? You mean there's.... jelly beans in there?" He chewed more slowly now and swallowed awkwardly. Come to think of it, yeah..... there had been some kind of salty, boogery thing in there. Must've been a bad Bott bean. Derp.
"You may NOT call Jack 'Jackie,'" he shook his head, opening his desk drawer at the sound of a bark. Jack the crup popped out then, his tongue lolling out of his mouth lazily and his eyes looking all around for the source of the other cruppy. OH THERE HE WAS THERE WAS THE OTHER CRUPPY OTHER CRUPPY RIGHT THERE WOOF WOOF WOOOFF!
Why hadn't William noticed the puff on her head earlier? Duh, the girl was never seen without it. "Well that's not unusual, not really," he shrugged, realizing she was just not used to how much crups licked things. Speaking of, her crup was already trying to get out of his hands and over to his crup on the desk.
"Crups will try to eat most anything, you know, so the licking at first could have been his way of tasting Kent and testing him out." He shrugged and set her smaller crup on the desk next to his. "Really though, it's nothing to be concerned about. It's just his way of greeting Kent and marking him as his bud, his pygmy puff friend of sorts."

Selena nodded her head slowly. "It's a peanut butter and jelly bean sammich," Selena said in a matter of fact tone of voice. Maybe the professor should start figuring out what he was eating before he ate it? Because Lafay could EASILY poison him that way... right? Would LAFAY DO THAT?!?!?!?
She couldn't call him Jackie?! Why not? Wasn't that the name of a ninja or something?! The professor must not like ninjas. Obviously. "HAI JACK!" Selena exclaimed waving at the crup... who was looking at... Clarke? HEY. Selena had totally addressed the crup FIRST. And so.. the crup wasn't made of wood. Weird.
Clarke squirmed in the guy's arms. Couldn't the man tell he wanted to LICK the fuzzy thing? It was fu- oh look there was a crup. He let out a bark, eyes now off of the pygmy puff. And mind off of the guy holding him. PUT HIM DOWN.
Selena blinked at the professor. Not... unusual? It was pretty darn unusual. "So... Clarke was trying to eat... Kent?" Selena said slowly. HER CRUPPY WAS A PYGMY PUFF KILLER?!?!?! THe professor was obviously lying about the second part because he had JUST said that Clarke was TASTING Kent. They were supposed to be BEST FRIENDS. Clarke was so obviously BROKEN. Why hadn't the person selling the crups told Selena that the one she had ATE pygmy puffs?!?!?!

"I thought you'd just said peanut butter and jelly...." William swallowed awkwardly as the last of the sandwich slid down his esophagus. "No matter, it was kind of you to bring it anyway." So yeah.... thaaaaaaaanks.....
Jack heard his name and turned his drooling head toward her, giving her a happy!cruppy grin before looking back at the other crup. He started sniffing around the dog as soon as she was on the desk too, giving him a full-on inspection more or less. Sizin' up the competition, oh yeahhhhh.
"You're down, you're down, sheesh!" Willy chuckled at the pups and grabbed his whistling teapot off the shelf. "Care for a cuppa?" he inquired of Selena, not waiting for an answer before he poured her a cup of hot water anyway, passing the plain hot water across the desk to her. "There you go. Enjoy the tea."
WAS Clarke trying to eat Kent? "He might've been. I mean, to a crup, everything is edible, and a giant ball of fluff? Why Kent probably looks like cotton candy to him." He grinned at the girl. "I'm sure he's over it by now though. Does he still lick the puff on a semi-regular basis?"
