As you wander down the Hallways you notice a new door along the Eastern wall. Was it there last term? Quite possibly....as you approach the door you see a notice attached which reads:

Attention All Students!

This is the Staff Room. Under no circumstance should a student pass through this door. Any student caught on the other side will be sent to detention immediately, no questions asked! Continous violations could result in suspention!

Being a curious student you try the door knob....locked! Well, better not try again or risk detention....

Why was she in here? Really? It was like, any time she came into the staff room suddenly everyone showed up and at least ONE person was bound to be completely annoying.

Still it was quiet for now and she could always make her excuses and leave after all.

Althea made herself a pot of tea and then set herself up comfortably in a cushy chair, the tea service on the table next to her and all the other squishy chairs unoccupied.

Cup of tea and some light reading? Sounded perfect to her.

After the feast with all the wierdness that went on upon on the dias Edvard found himself re-treating back to the staff room to get some peace and quiet.

He wanted to drink some tea and read the evening prophet before going to bed. Edvard had luckily his lessons in the morning already planned so he could enjoy some time for himself.

Heading into the staff room he knew immediatly that he wasn't alone. A tea pot was boiling and someone was sitting in one of the cushy chairs. Going closer he saw that it was Althea. Coughing to not startle her he said "Good evening, Althea..I hope you didn't get pranked during dinner?"

HER? Pranked? Those boys would NOT dare! Althea looked up at Eddie and shook her head. "That would have been a mistake." Althea did not tend to take pranks as funny.

Her nostrils flared a little as she let out a huffy little breath at the very thought.

"They were a few years below me, when I was a student here." So, you know, she knew them at least a bit. Dub fairly well, she supposed. Olly... well he was a Gryffindor who was nice enough and just seemed to stare and drool. Like a slightly simple, and yet adorable and loyal puppy dog. The kind that crashed into things if you got it too excited and let it off a leash.

Still. An improvement from Dash, yes? Yes.

Less attitude at least.

She gave Eddie a smile. "Are you going to sit down?"

She gave Eddie a smile. "Are you going to sit down?"

Altheas tone of voice was confirmation enough. She had not been a subject of the pranking that had gone on earlier in the night. "I’m glad. I’m sorry on the healer’s behalf though, fainting at the feast is not the first impression you want to make to the students." Edvard commented.

"By they you mean William and Oliver?" Edvard asked unsure exactly who of the new staffers Althea was referring to there were 5 new colleagues to get to know and more importantly get along with.

Shaking his head a little Edvard nodded and sat down next to Althea pouring himself some tea. "Tea isn’t so bad now that I’ve come to drink it a lot."

To be honest, Althea had barely noticed what had been going on down the other end of the table.

"Yes, of course. The trouble-makers." She sounded both disapproving and mildly fond of them with those words. "I remember the Groundskeeper too.... vaguely." As in, less importantly in the world of Althea. And she supposed she remembered the Healer... maybe. She hadn't caught the woman's name so she couldn't be sure. "The Defense professor... she looked familiar to me, but I don't think its from Hogwarts." Althea mused a little on that but then shrugged. If it was important, it would come to her.

"Did you do much over the summer?"

"Did you do much over the summer?"

Edvard had only taken notice about what had happened on the other end of the table since the commotion there had drawn his attention to it.

It had been also been at a time when he been worried about drinking anything from his cup in fear of being pranked as well. Would he have to sit on pins and needles every night next to William? Hopefully not.

"I gather that they were frequent visitors in the detention hall?" This was probably why Headmaster Tate had given them both a stern warning at the feast. Shrugging Edvard commented "All of the new staff are unfamiliar to me. I hope the Defense professor doesn't up and leave in the middle of term like her predecessor did."

Thinking back to his summer Edvard reminisced "After restoring the observatory I went on vacation with my folks and extended family to the Canary Islands, 2 weeks of sun and sand. Then i helped my sister to move into her new house. The last few weeks before term I spent in Diagon Alley stocking up for the new year."

"What did you do over the summer?"

"What did you do over the summer?"

"I don't really KNOW." Althea answered, not quite the withering, impatient tone she'd use with others, since Eddie was her friend. "It isn't like I spent all that much time tracking them." Seriously. "I graduated several years before they did." And really, most older students did not pay attention in detail to what the younger ones did.

"It wasn't even the middle of the term." Really. She wondered what that said about Tate's hiring practices? Well he was just lucky to have her wasn't he? "I'm glad I don't have to take that class any more." Once had been enough.

And Eddie, she supposed.

Althea listened as he recounted his summer.

"That sounds nice. I myself spent some time with family... my sister just got married." So that had taken up a great majority of the summer of course.

Droo · 01-09-2012, 12:15 PM

Tea...

She needed tea...

It seemed like a good idea to use her teapot for a draught of living death potion when all her cauldrons were being used... but now it was simmering and she couldn't very well brew a cup of calming tea in it. She was going to have to get some tea from the staff room...

... people were there.

She ignored them at first, and made her way with her teacup (and saucer) to the teapot brewing water. She poured the bubbling water over her own mix of herbs in her cup and closed her eyes, taking in the scent as it steeped in front of her. She took a sip.

Mmmmm.... Better.

She opened her eyes and looked at the other two professors. "Schirmer, Roslund."

Ok, formalities were over... she'd greeted them... now back to the tea. She sipped again.

Kaos.Doodles · 01-10-2012, 04:06 AM

Dash had been passing by the staff room when a strange smell entered his nose. It wasn't exactly a bad smell. Just strange. Eying the room to the door he pushed his way through.

He didn't expect anyone to actually be in the room though.

"Eddie, Hecate." And since he was in a nice mood. "Althea." Everyone enjoying themselves? He wasn't really going to ask because he could care less.

"I was passing by the room when I smelt something...." The smell was actually stronger in here. Again not bad just...different. Was that normal?

Yikes! Had he struck a sore spot? Deciding to drop the subject all together he focused on DADA which Althea had run gallantly according to the school grapevine. "I bet running charms class is enough since it’s a quite popular amongst the student’s, yes? But you did wonderful teaching DADA I’ve heard. The student’s liked your class on spirit guardians at least those who I’ve spoken to."

"Weddings are nice." he commented "Was it a classic white church wedding?” Edvard enquired. Althea must have done something else too besides organizing a wedding. Remembering the eggs from last year he asked "Will your charm student’s be caring for eggs this term too?"

Ok, formalities were over... she'd greeted them... now back to the tea. She sipped again.

The staff room door opened and closed with a small thub and some moments later they were joined by Hecate Lafay the potions mistress. Edvard still wasn’t quite comfortable around her. Flashing her a welcoming smile he greeted her politely in return "Lafay."

As the dark haired potions madam sat down to drink her tea Edvard asked "Did you have a nice summer holiday Hecate?" taking up his own cup he started to sip on his still hot tea.

Just after Hecate arrived Dash filed in too. Flashing him a smile he said "Dash."

"Going to join us for some tea and conversation?” Edvard asked his friend knowing too well that Althea and Dash didn’t mesh well together. At Dash’s comment about a smell he asking raising a brow curiously "What kind of smell a pungent odour or something delicious?" Sniffing the air he couldn't smell anything.

"Professor Lafay." Althea returned the greeting in the exact same tone. She wasn't one to bother someone who clearly preferred to be left alone, and Althea herself much preferred not to be bothered most of the time so she understood.

Besides, she didn't know the Potions Mistress particularly well.

"Well it is an elective subject, they have to subject themselves to my lessons until 5th year." Althea answered, but she did smile just slightly at mention of her efforts with the Defense class. You did what you had to do of course, and Althea did what she could.

Sigh.

Weddings.

"Beach wedding." She answered shortly. But the next question was easier. "No, we'll be doing something different this year." Althea liked to mix things up a bit.

"If you'll excuse me, I have a few things to take care of." Althea extracted herself gracefully. It wasn't the quiet sanctuary it had been a few minutes ago.

She gave Eddie a quick smile, and Lafay a polite, nod, then left the room.

"Is it my tea?" She said offering him the cup to smell. "I make a blend of catnip, gurdyroot and a sprig of chocolate mint plant... which I find gives it an amazing flavor." She took out a plastic baggie from her pocket. "Would you like some?"

She smirked like the cat who swallowed the canary. "I did. I did indeed." She wasn't going to give much more than that... her fiancee had been made Minister of Magic, and they set a date... but she felt as if it would be gloating if she shared that bit of information.

The woman had left. Alright...

... Was her tea really pungent? Or was there something else?

"Something...distinctive." That was the best way he could describe the smell. As for the man's other question? Dash didn't see the need to participate in awkward small talk with Althea and Eddie. "And no thank you."

Making walking over to Hecate he took one sniff of the outstretched cup and nod. "Yes." That was the smell that had floated under the door. He shot a glance at Eddie. Weird man for not smelling it.

"Interesting blend..." He was not one to turn down a unique type of tea so..."I would, If that's alright with you?"

Looking at Hecate he got the image of a cat who have just scored some milk when she spoke. She seemed so smug. Shaking his head Edvard asked his colleagues "Did you two see the daily prophet about Hogwarts turning 1000years? I didn't know that the school has been here for so long.." Maybe he should borrow a history of hogwarts book to read up on the school.

Dash's arrivial queued Althea's leaving which Edvard felt slightly sad about it. They disliked each other so much that they couldn't even stay too long in the same room. The distinctive smell that Dash had picked up on turned out to be coming from Hecate's mug of tea.

Catching his friend's glance he said out loud to the unanswered question. "I have become allergic. Maybe the soap the elves use to clean my classroom with or something, it has made my nose all stuffy. I'm glad if can smell what i eat at dinner." Maybe he should go see Cece for a potion or an ointment to cure his stuffed nose?

She summoned a mug from the cupboard and placed some of her blend in the mug. She poured the hot water on the herbs and closed her eyes to the scent of the water heating the tea. "Here you are, Dash." She said handing him the mug. She felt a little awkward making another man tea. But it was platonic and Alexander would understand.

"Allergic?" Allergies were just a hindrance. "Tell the elves to stop using that soap."

She then realized that she may have been intruding on the professor... "I'm sorry Edvard... did I interrupt you and Althea?"

Dash just stared at the other man for a while. "Edvard..." He knew the man hadn't gone to school at Hogwarts but brushing up on the castles history would have been a good idea. "Please....never let me hear how ignorant you are about the history of this castle." It was pathetic, and to mention it to someone who taught history was just stupid.

"Maybe you're being poisoned." Willy and Olly were the obvious suspects.

Taking the cup from her with a thankful nod. "Thank you." Dash disliked things being done for him, but they were Hecate's herbs after all. Taking a small sip of the interesting blend, a small smile crept on his face. "I like it, I might have to buy this off of you." Yes. It had an original taste, even if it did oddly contain catnip.

"So how was your summer?"

BanaBatGirl · 01-14-2012, 09:15 PM

The Staff Room: the one place of this castle Willy had yet to explore. He had found every awesome nook and cranny in the castle when he was a student, naturally, and still had all the secret passages committed to memory.

The staff room, however, was sure to be a real treat. He'd never been allowed in as a mere student, obviously!

Opening the door to the room slowly, William poked first his head in and then, upon seeing his coworkers, slid the rest of himself in. Didn't want to look like a ~~creeper~~ ~~weirdo~~ sneak after all.

"Hello hello," he greeted Dash, Hecate, and Ed with a polite smile. Willy tucked his hands in his pockets and awkwardly rocked to and fro on his feet a bit, just taking in the look of the room for a minute or so.

Well.

........

This room was BORING.

Hecate nearly snorted in her tea.

Nearly.

"Dash..." she reprimanded trying not to look at Edvard. "And you may purchase the blend from me if you wish." It was certainly not the first thing she'd sold... but most of the rest was more expensive.. and a lot was shady, not to mention illegal.

Hecate looked at the boy and then turned to Dash, ignoring his greeting. "Who is he? Was he one of the horrid ones at the staff table?"

She then realized that she may have been intruding on the professor... "I'm sorry Edvard... did I interrupt you and Althea?"

As if to prove his point, Edvard sneezed loudly "Atchooooooo!" the tea in his cup almost spluttered over the brim of the cup. Slightly red eyed he looked over at Hecate "I might have to do something to that effect soon or at least get some medicine from Cece. My allergies usually get worse not better."

Taking up a handkerchief he dried his nose as Hecate wondered if she had been intruding on him and Althea’s private moment. His ears got a bit red as Edvard mumbled "Oh no, not at all. Althea just had some stuff she wanted to get done before the term gets busy." Atchoo! He couldn’t and wouldn’t say that Althea left because she couldn’t be in the same room very long as Dash.

"Please....never let me hear how ignorant you are about the history of this castle." It was pathetic, and to mention it to someone who taught history was just stupid.

"Maybe you're being poisoned." Willy and Olly were the obvious suspects.

Attttchoo!

Sneezing he hiccupped "Sorry Dash. I just don’t have the same advantage as you have. But if it soothes your mind I am reading up on Hogwarts." He had gone back to borrow a book about the school after that day when he had sent two student’s to detention.

Edvard’s face got as white as a ghost as Dash mentioned the possibility of him being poisoned. Wide eyed he asked "Do youuu really think I could be poisoned?" Cough, why would anyone want to poison him?

Atchooo!

Looking up from his handkerchief Edvard in time for William’s arrival he managed a sniveled "Hello William. How is the sanctury project going? Sorry i haven't been down there yet." Going back to his tea he heard Hecate’s far from pleasant comment but remained neutral. Dash could handle that without him.

Well.

........

This room was BORING.

Dash looked over his shoulder as the door to the staff room opened. Oh. William. Did he really have to great him? Dash thought for a moment before raising his hand in a lazy hello.

Hecate looked at the boy and then turned to Dash, ignoring his greeting. "Who is he? Was he one of the horrid ones at the staff table?"

"Hecate?"Dash looked at her in mock confusion before taking another sip of his tea. In his mind he had done nothing wrong. "I might just have to...though I rather wait to see if you would give me it for free." Free sounded much better.

Well the potions mistress certainly hit the nail on the head. "Correct. William Williamson." The man who clearly never learned how to grow up. "I believe he was the one who infected my drink." He had doubts of it being Olly because Dash hadn't been that mean to that one at school.

Althea had stuff to do? Dash simply took another sip of his tea at Eddie's words. Sure. They could go with that. Much better than the truth in his opinion.

"Come to my office later." He nodded. "I'll lend you something easy to read that will really fill you in." He was only being kind about it because if Eddie said something that idiotic again about the History of the castle he'd have to officially denounce their friendship.

"Oh, yeah, most definitely." He shifted to sit up straight in the chair. "Just ask William over there. Oliver too." There were good at those things. "Weren't you two the reason why Cecilia, fainted during the feast?" It was a hunch, but he could bet it was a good one.

William returned Dash's nod and slipped into a pouffy seat across from Ed, stretching out his long legs as he slid down in the chair a bit.

He ignored both Hecate (who was pretending to not know him) and Dash (who was blaming him for everything). Hmmph. Good for them, buddying up like that. There was no one better for Dash to befriend, really, other than the one professor perhaps more hated than him.

Willy scooted his chair back a bit from Ed as he proceeded to SNEEZE and SNEEZE and then SNEEZE SOME MORE. "Merlin, man!" he fished his handkerchief out of his back pocket and passed it over to him, in case he needed another. "Are you sure you haven't been infected by chizpurfles?!" He'd heard of people who were allergic to them. Maybe Ed was like that.

Anyway. "The Creatures Sanctuary is coming along nicely!" he changed the subject loudly. "I just added a lobalug to the pond in the back. Borrowed it from the merpeople in our lake. Gonna invite the students down to observe it. Thinking of harvesting its valuable ink too."

His eyes flicked to Hecate briefly before he turned allllll the way around in his seat to stare at Dash. "I would NEVER poison Cece. That was 150% Oliver."

Then he calmly turned back around and crossed one leg over the other loosely. "So, anyway, Ed, you should definitely come down and see the creatures. I'll let you ride an abraxan."

Hecate blinked and he showered her with his sneeze but she nodded understanding he didn't want to speak to Althea. "Allergies are something to fix permanently, it's merely a hindrance. And I agree with Dash... someone's probably poisoned you..." But then he sneezed again and she said "you know, you wouldn't spread your germs if you held something in front of your face."

"You have your complementary tea in your hands. I don't get the ingredients for free... you can pay cost if you want more than the occasional cup." She said to Dash. Free... right...

"Williamson..." She said raising an eyebrow. "Right..."

She looked over to the man.

... "Let me know when you are finished with the lobalug... I'm running low on my supply." She said and smirked. She really didn't care who poisoned who. She wouldn't be poisoned. She was too cautious for that.

The1HBIC · 01-16-2012, 03:53 AM

Cece needed to get away from the hospital wing and her office. She needed to find a place students wouldn't be able to find her, therefore meaning they wouldn't be able to bother her either. What better place was there to go other than the staff room? There was no better place.

NO students allowed in.

Entering the room that she herself as a child had not been allowed to enter she found that it was occupied. Looking around she seen... Well hello there William.

Right, she should probably stop ~~staring at~~ focusing only on one person in the room. "Hello everyone. Hope I'm not interrupting anything here."

Smiling at his mate Edvard nooded "I'd like that. Just not a book with two many numbers. Remembering dates has never been a strong point of mine." Dash would fix his lapse in Hogwarts education in no time. The man was a walking encyclopedia after all. Remembering Dash's son all of a sudden he asked "Did Kyoh like the owl you had bought for him?"

Taking the offered handekerchief from William he blew his nose before asking a little ackhance "How do you know if you have been infected by a chizpurfle?" The possibility Edvard reasoned was slim to none that he had been infected by one but one could never be too careful.

Beaming at William he asked a little surprised "The merpeople allowed you to borrow a lobalug? I thought they were vicious and unfriendly to all land walkers. If you get any ink over I could use a small bottle." Lately he had been writing quite a lot of letters.

Edvard watched William defend himself to Dash and Hecate as he involuntarily sneezed again. Getting excited at the prospect of riding a horse he said "I will come down as soon as i've lived through my first week of classes. Abraxans are okay with men right and not as picky as unicorns?" It couldn't hurt to be sure. He didn't want to end up going down there for nothing.

Raising the handkerchief to shield/protect his nose Edvard asked "Is this better Hecate? I don't suppose you know of a potion that cures allergies?" If she did then that would solve a lot of his current issues.

"Hello Cecelia!" Edvard greeted from behind his handkerchief "Has the hospital had any peculiar visitors lately?" Please tell me i'm not the only one with acute allergies in the castle.
