| | of Headmistress Truebridge 
If permitted to enter the highly exclusive and incredibly pink palace of Headmistress Anastasia Reina (née Bunbury) Truebridge, please take a moment to allow your eyes to adjust. The current occupant of the Head chambers has distinct fashion tastes unlike any of her predecessors. And yes, she does re-do her office every three few years.
The large, thick black desk, which is easily the largest item in the room, rests on a fairly new, geometrically patterned pink and black carpet. In front of the desk are two nearly new black and pink, modernly styled guest chairs; behind it is what can only be described as a veritable throne. This, obviously, is where the Headmistress sits when she is in the office. If you're here to speak with her, you might as well have a seat in one of the guest chairs. You aren't welcome elsewhere in this office.
As you take your seat and look around, you'll notice that the room is lush with healthy green plants in black pots; new black curtains which are usually pulled back from the spacious windows; books and magazines scattered on matching black wooden end tables; and lots and lots of framed personal photos. Most of the photo occupants (the ones that you can see, anyway) are the Headmistress' husband, a former professor himself, and a baby photo of her now six-year-old son, who is certain to grow up to be a genius. The largest photo, which sits facing the Headmistress' throne and the large window behind it, is of the three Truebridges from before they left Egypt.
The other frames on the walls of the room include portraits of former headmasters; a glass-encased man's cane; and a framed scrap of paper from one of Hogwarts' own student publications. In the back corner of the room, near the door that leads to the rest of the Headmistress' chambers, is a collection of very rare brooms locked up inside a black wood corner cabinet. In front of the cabinet sits a large pink wicker basket, usually containing a very pampered, very fat ginger cat. This is Gingersnapple.
Gingersnapple is most protective of his master's chambers, so if you truly wish to speak the Headmistress in her office, be aware that you are doing so at your own risk. Please note: This room is an animal-free zone... with the obvious exception of Gingersnapple. OOC: You absolutely may not enter this office unless given the password or given IC/OOC access by the Headmistress. If you RP yourself here without following instructions, your post will be deleted.

A silvery roadrunner burst through the wall to the Headmistress' office and began scurrying around in figure eights, weaving between the legs of the Hogwarts staff that were present. It's glow not as vibrant as usual, the roadrunner's feet left the floor as it swirled upwards around the Charms professor's body and then jumped atop the Headmistress' desk.
"Professor Botros has taken students to look for runic inscriptions about the castle," came the Astronomy professor's voice, ethereal in tone, from the roadrunner. "Further research by students has cause us to believe that there is an extremely high probability of chort, 99.99% based on the grim look Medea gave, involvement to these wintery conditions and request your presence in the library at your fastest convenience."
The roadrunner then gave two gleeful hops and dissipated into thin air.

| Fuller is ALWAYS grumpy with Cece Super Slytherin Buddy - ⅓ She-Snake Trio || EVIL Healer
Was Fuller a complete and total idiot or what? Of course they shouldn't just come out and ask her like that. Did the fool not know how to be sly and cunning? How had he ever made it as a Slytherin? "Only a moron like you would come out and question her like that."
Oh look, and now there was Javy holding his hand. Seriously, could those two not be anywhere together without having to touch the other? At least he had enough common sense to know they shouldn't just jump right to truth serums. "Yes, exactly what I was getting at." That there are better ways to find out what someone is up to before going all Umbridge on them and pouring a truth serum down their throat.
WHAT?!
Was Truebridge really dismissing Cece like that? What was even the point in having her sit down and join this little meeting if she was just going to be told to leave? And Cassie was being told to go too. "I don't know why you even bothered bringing me into this conversation and wasting my time if you didn't want to hear my opinions." She then stood to leave. What a complete waste of her time this had been. "Yes, come on by any time you want," she told Professor Morgan as she followed the woman out the door. As for those idiots in the room, they could just stay away from her and continue being the little puppets they had become for the headmistress.

Hogwarts RPG Name: TBD Gryffindor Hogwarts RPG Name: Zara H. Bunbury-Foster Slytherin Fifth Year | Fact: Cece's full name is Cecelia Sassafrass Tillstorm. Professor Pink | Mrs. Bruce Wayne | I'm on a Goat | Glitterpuff | Dumbledore's Defense Squad | BHB Annie didn't actually feel bad for dismissing the women in this office, but considering their two personalities... of course Cassie was bright and cheerful and helpful, that was the exact polar opposite of the kind of person she wanted to spy on Lolita Domingo. Then there was Cece, who had opinions stronger in flavor than well-aged cheese, and issues keeping her cheese opinions to herself. So she could stay holed up in the hospital wing for all this redhead cared.
Back to the boys. The Headmistress scooted forward a tiny bit in her seat, and opened her mouth to speak when a sudden, silvery roadrunner appeared. Oh ho ho. Flamsteed. Even his patronuses were flamboyant. Well, best get this over with.
"I see the students have reached the same conclusions as us," she mused to her helpful staff in the office. "Well, as you all seem to be thinking the same way as I am, I think we should investigate Lolita. Dig up some concrete evidence that places her in the forest near the chorts, if that's what they are. Maybe someone could sneak into her office and look for correspondence. Someone else, if they happened to say, slip her a drink that makes her feel open to talking, could do that." She gave a seemingly harmless shrug at the three of them. "Just remember to be sneaky with whatever you do, and ONLY report back to me. No one else. We don't know who we can trust now." Especially anyone who didn't perfectly speak the Queen's English!
As for her, "I am going to go down to this research meeting and then make an attempt to contact the Ministry. Someone needs to remove these chorts." And obviously it couldn't be the people stranded in the castle! "Any questions?" She stood up and rolled up her scroll full of notes from this meeting.

| ¼ of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pls Cosgrach was relieved when Cece was out. Seriously, it was hard to understand which side that woman was on, or whether she was a true Slytherin to begin with. It seemed as if she came on earth to yell at everyone.
Whatever.
Cosgrach was uncharacteristically silent when it came to such important matters and he only nodded and muttered "None." It was simple enough: catch her red-handed. He got up, ready to leave if Piers and Javy didn't have anything else to add. |

The Cabin fever was quite high in the room from the tension that was directed to and from the Healer with the others. His hand squeezed Piers a little, though the look he gave him coupled with it had it come off as more of a warning rather than pure affection. Not now.. He expected his face to be read before Piers could think of another retort for Cece. He knew better than to anger the one who was treating his friend. Javy could not wait for things to settle down again with everyone once this was all over.
Eventually Cassie and Cece were dismissed and he knew what was coming up now... Okay, maybe not that patronus from Airey (cause who ever knew when to expect his presence, heh). But yes, it was time to get the Chorts out of here and find out their suspect's intentions. Javy looked from Annie to Piers and then at Cosgrach. They could privately disperse the jobs left to them after, yes? "No questions, here."

| Sardines ♥ BHB ♥ Dallie ♥ Grumpy ♥ MY SUN AND STARS ♥ i love julia Piers felt his hand being squeezed and he read Javy's look quite clearly. He was telling him to back off Cece. Luckily, the woman left so he didn't have anything left to say to her. His attention turned back to the Headmistress as she made it clear that she was FAR more Slytherin than Cece was. Hah.
So, they were to become spies, were they? Piers would do that. For Leo and for the rest of the students' safety. Questions? "No. Let's get started." Piers stood as well as it seemed they were dismissed now. It was time to get started. |

Annie would have liked to talk to Cosgrach more..... but she had a Patronus to answer.
"Thank you all for coming," she said softly instead, being the first to exit from her office. She would trust them to sort things out between them... and to not do anything to her office if she left first. Javy, Piers and Cosgrach? They were all right in her book.

Hogwarts RPG Name: TBD Gryffindor Hogwarts RPG Name: Zara H. Bunbury-Foster Slytherin Fifth Year | ~~~~ lil bit later ~~~~ contacting the Ministry ~~~~ Professor Pink | Mrs. Bruce Wayne | I'm on a Goat | Glitterpuff | Dumbledore's Defense Squad | BHB Right, let's see if the floo works today.
Annie marched determinedly back into her office and straight over to the fireplace. Nothing had been touched, really, and the fire was still well-stoked. Thanks, Hogwarts elves. She grabbed a pinch of powder from the pot atop her mantle and tossed it in the flames.
Now for the part she didn't like... the part she really, really didn't like. The redhead kneeled down by the fire and took a deep breath, submitting just her head into the now-green fire.
"The Ministry of Magic," she spoke clearly into the fireplace, "Office of the Head of Environmental Regulation and Protection, please."
Once the connection went through ---- AMAZINGLY! ---- the Headmistress proceeded to converse....
