Thank you.

Professor Bentley is a very busy woman, but if you're lucky enough to secure an appointment with her one of the first things you will notice when you enter her office is the aroma. The air is filled with the sweet scent of peppermint tea and flowers. Oh no, you won’t find trowels, dragon dung or dirt in this room, everything is presented in a neat and orderly fashion. The office is decorated in earthy brown tones with hints of pink, green and yellow making the room feel very homey. In summer a light breeze will be drifting through an open window, whereas in the cooler months a fire will be roaring in the open grate fireplace. Behind Professor Bentley’s desk on wall by the window is a large cork board. On this board you will see a collection of photographs of family and friends as well as the occasional note about classes or homework. Photographs include her very dashing husband Aron Ashburry-Hawthorne and their son Derfael, as well as colleagues and former students. Also among these, is a photograph of her handsome, white pomeranian, Caltex. So feel free to come in and take a seat on one of the plush and comfy stools- mind of course you have permission to enter. Don't worry too much about the small bundle of fluff that flits in and out of the room, or lounges at your feet, Caltex doesn't bite. Just be sure your laces are tied, otherwise you might find you wont have any left by the time you leave.

And be careful as you enter... the potted Fanged Geraniums by the door like to play occasionally.

In an effort to escape the incessant cold of the outdoors, Professor Bentley has claimed an unused room on the seventh floor. In this room you will find her office – though it is only a shadow of her proper office, this temporary location still contains her desk and signature stools and cork board. The rest of the room, though it's unfurnished and not at all decorated, is quite clean.

As always, potted fanged geraniums will greet you when you enter the door, and in addition to this there are a number of other potted beauties around and about.

OOC: You are encouraged to request an appointment with Professor Bentley via owl (PM) OR alternatively, take your chances and post knocking.
