| | |  The Tower Patch
 At the top of the north tower some ways down from the Astronomy classroom is a large rooftop garden that has been expanded in memory of the late Marion Burbage, substitute professor of Astronomy. Lush green hedges and flower beds line the perimeter of the area and a large fountain greets you towards the opposite end. Located to the left of the fountain is a stone plaque engraved with words from the Headmistress herself which reads :
Rest in peace old friend, beloved wife, renowned stargazer, and special professor. Always in our hearts.
Beside this plaque lays another plaque placed in memory of another professor who gave their life while in service to Hogwarts. The plaque reads :
In Memory of E.M. Forrester, a brilliant space scientist, educator, and Slytherin Head of House. He will be missed.
Wooden benches and tables are scattered throughout the patch for students and professor alike to lounge, reflect on social events, complete homework tasks, and just generally hang out.
OOC: for more information on the events that took place in this thread, please read Term 32 of Hogwarts, a History & What in Merlin's Beard Term 32. For information on Professor Forrester please read here.

It was starting to get colder outside, but not enough to stop all the students from traipsing around the grounds, making the place too crowded for Dora to consider using it for studying purposes. But the tower patch had multiple appeals. It was closer to her common room, so less of a walk, it had significantly less students since half the population would have to walk seven floors and then some just to get up here, and it still had a sense of the outdoors that she was missing with all her time spent in the common room.
So it was here she chose to do her studying.
The seventh year was sitting on a patch of grass with her jarvey curled up in her lap sleeping. A wide variety of books surrounded her, and her eyes were glued to one in particular as she blocked out the world around her.

Kyroh was lost. He hadn't meant to get lost but he was. For some reason he thought he had astronomy today! Which he hadn't. But now that he was up here Kyroh couldn't remember how to get back down to the common room. Usually he just followed the group of other Ravenclaws but they weren't here now.
He made a few turns and then blinked, utterly confused because....he was outside? Why was he outside? Upstairs had an outside?
Kyroh slowly walked around unsure if he was even suppose to be here and who to ask for help. He was just about to turn back when he spotted that girl-lady! His Prefect! Running over he plopped down across from her and her giant stack of books and her-"You have a ferret on you." Woah.

Dora had gone to this school long enough for people to know not to mess with her when they saw her engrossed in her studies, or not to mess with her in general. And if they did need to speak with her, they knew not to come running over or flopping around. This was what most everyone knew.
This first year here, he wasn't most everyone.
She almost started but calmed almost immediately after, irritation evident on her face when she saw it was one in her house. Her jarvey wasn't so silent about his irritation at being woken up by his sudden arrival, and spewed out a string of curses at the boy before calming to Dora's touch. "Jarvey. He's a jarvey. And you're disrupting us." Why were first years so loud and kinetic? She certainly hadn't been that boisterous.

The ferret was SWEARING.
Which made Kyrohs eyes grow because: 1. Ferret's didn't talk, but most importantly 2. It was saying some PRETTY BAD words.
His large eyes flickered back to the Prefect. A Jarvey? "I've read about those!" Which made more sense as to why it was talking. "You should maybe teach him some better words. Like nicer ones!"
Kyroh would have given examples but....he was disrupting them apparently. Oops. "I'll be quieter!" The first year said rather loudly, before pressing his finger to his lips.

Dora raised an eyebrow at him, eyeing the boy over her glasses. He was being loud, did he know? "I would but nicer words never seem to get the point across." And foul language was fun. So much fun in fact, that she'd made a hobby out of teaching him swear words in all the languages she knew.
It was a wonder she was still allowed to have him in the school.
"You say you'll be quieter, but I've yet to see that possible." She eyed him speculatively. "What are you doing up here anyway? Do you need something?" Maybe if she helped him, he'd go away faster.

Kyroh eyed the fer-Jarvey. Yes. It was much bigger than a ferret now that he looked closely at it, though he wasn't even sure what size a normal ferret grew into. It could have just been fat after all. "But nicer words don't get your in trouble, because swear words are bad. " Kyroh wasn't allowed to say them. Not that he had tried or anything, but his older cousins had always gotten in troubled for swearing so he didn't do it because getting in trouble was not Kyroh's cup of tea. What if the Jarvey got in trouble!?
Quiet. Yes. Kyroh was ready to lower his voice and everything! He had just forgotten. "I don't even know where we are." Kyroh said in a whisper, cleaning closer just in case she couldn't hear him because of how awesomely quiet he was being! "I got lost 'cause I thought there was an extra Astronomy class but there isn't one."
As for did he need something? Did she mean....like food? Kyroh wasn't hungry or anything. "I don't really need anything Miss Prefect." He was fine up here really. Until he needed to use the loo or something.

"Nice words can get you in trouble if you use them the right ways." Just because they were labeled nice didn't necessarily make them so. It just made them acceptable to use in public settings. Dora just so happened not to bother with with teaching those words to Biter. And even if she did he wouldn't listen anyway.
The whole getting lost thing wasn't surprising at all considering how this one was new to the castle, and the wanting to attend an extra lesson wasn't surprising either because Ravenclaw. The annoying kind who only cared about getting good grades, but it was too early to tell if he'd stay that way. She sure didn't. "This is the tower patch. In memory of astronomy professors killed in the school." And sometimes a great escape from the student population, except for right now.
Why was he leaning in? She wasn't deaf.
"Miss Dora." She corrected. "I prefer not to use the term prefect. Who are you?"

His brows came together, slightly confused by the Prefects words. "But if they get you in trouble how's that using them in the right ways?" That was using them in all the wrong ways. "I don't war to get in trouble...." What if HE was using nice words in the right ways? He could get in trouble at any minute now!
Kyroh's eyes grew at the new information. A Tower patch sure but uh-"A Professor was killed?" Maybe he would have known that if he read Hogwarts A History but nope. It was boring.
"Okay Miss Dora." She WAS a prefect though. But if she didn't want to be called that, Kyroh was okay with that. It was like him and the Professors calling him MR. "I'm Kyroh Scabior." The boy said sticking out his hand. He even said his name quietly and everything, which was rare.

And at that, Dora actually smiled knowingly. "I said they can get you into trouble. I've not really had an issue with trouble though." She shrugged. "Wordplay. If you use 'nice' words the right way, they can be just as bad as swear words without always seeming so." It wasn't really something she could explain, but he would get it eventually. He was in Ravenclaw after all, and they enjoyed a good deal of wordplay.
"One by another wizard, and the other by a plant." She returned her eyes to her book, flipping the page casually as if it was no big deal that professors died in the school. It was more a big deal just to make it out of this school alive. "Not to worry though, students haven't died here in years." And even when they were dying off it was a bunch of Puffers.
She wasn't going to extend the invitation to this one about the whole friendship thing solely because the last one had seemed to take it as a challenge and she didn't need a bunch of first years trying to be her friend. "Scabior?" She mused, eyes returning to him. "Like the professor?"

Were the words really that bad if they were nice words and didn't seem bad? Kyroh wasn't sure. But it sounded pretty cool to have the ability to do that. Wordplay. Huh. "Can you teach me how?" Not so he could get away with making nice words mean. Just so he knew when other people were doing it, or if he was doing it without even knowing.
A wizard had been in Hogwarts and killed a Professor? A PLANT had killed a Professor!?!? "How did the wizard get in the castle? And did Professor Bentley not like that Professor?" He knew the woman had said she didn't feed the plants bad students YET but...he didn't know she fed the plants bad Professors! He felt a little better knowing that no students died recently but...technically he was still part-professor and all.
Miss Dora was busy reading her book. Annnd she didn't see his hand. Kyroh let his hand drop slowly, a bit put out by the fact that she hadn't shaken it. Sure she was looking at her book and everything but still.
Kyroh nodded his head. "Exactly like it. 'Cept he's not a professor anymore." Which was pretty obvious because he didn't work here anymore. But just incase she though that he worked somewhere else or something. "He's just my papa." A small smile appeared on his lips.

| Opps. I missed the handshake thing, but Dora wouldn't have anyway so no harm. <3 Browncoat l Extra Syrup l Kita's Strong Confident Other Half l Lemon Patch
"Not really. But if you listen closely, you'll begin to recognize it when it's happening around you." It happened a lot in this school too.
Her eyes flicked back up at him when he started with more questions. He asked a lot of those, did he know? "All of this is in Hogwarts, A History you know. It wouldn't hurt to crack that open and read it." Because despite whatever he wanted to believe, she wasn't all that helpful and had no intentions of answering all his questions in detail. "Bentley's not that malicious." Just so he knew. As fun as that rumor would be to start, she didn't think it all that believable.
And also she had no interest in filling the kid's head with fears.
Didn't see, didn't want to shake. They were both the same thing. Not only was she surrounded by first years, she was surrounded by ones that were well mannered and it was weird.
"Still a professor, just not teaching anymore." She corrected, eyes staying on him as she studied his features and tried to recall an old class memory. "You were in one of the lessons." Fact, not a question. It was way back when she had attended as many as she could. Though he was obviously older now. "Want to help me study?"

First Maddie said that she observed people. And now Miss Dora said he had to listen closely. It seemed like Ravenclaws liked paying attention. And Kyroh could do that! He could pay attention too! "I'm going to listen really close from now on." He PROMISED!
"I've opened it before." The boy stated. "Three times by myself. But I fell asleep all three times." The book was boring. Really boring. "It's kinda weird they should just put all the cool stuff at the front." Like THIS WAS THE MOST RECENT DEATH. And if someone wanted to learn more about it they could flip to a certain page with the death in context. But Kyroh was no writer so what did he know?
.....He knew what made him not sleep. That was all.
"But what if she just forgot to feed the plants or something? Like on purpose?"Hmmm? It could have happened. Did Miss Dora KNOW?
Was he still a professor if he wasn't teaching? Huh. Kyroh just shrugged, because alright if she said so. "I was! I taught and everything!" It had been fun. There had been a cool spinning chair.
Help her study? Kyroh's eyes grew. No one had ever asked him to help them study before! "Okay." The boy whispered in slight awe before crawling over beside her. He pushed a few books out of his way just so he could sit down RIGHT there. RIGHT beside her. So he could help his prefect study and everything!
....Kyroh just hoped the Jarvey didn't bite.

Well that was good she supposed. Since he was clearly sticking around, and she wasn't one to repeat herself.
"They like to have some order to the book." She responded with a raised eyebrow. He didn't much sound like a reader, but she supposed she couldn't compare him to herself since she had always been one for history anyway. "Try starting from the back. I sometimes find that history books are more easier to read when the information is recent." Look at her, being helpful and whatever. She should be getting PAID for this prefecting job. Or at least get more privileges. "And chat up the school ghosts and portraits. They tend to know some things as well."
Forgot to feed the plants? Bently? She shook her head. "No. I don't think so. This plant was just highly dangerous, and Bently loves her plants." That wasn't to say that she put it completely past the professor to be above killing, just that she thought it highly unlikely.
"Yea.... you were." You know.... there and stuff.
Neither Dora nor her jarvey much appreciated the closeness. Him hissing and cursing, and her giving Kyroh LOOKS.
.... Sigh. Whatever. Whatever. She did this to herself. "I need some help practicing spells. Stuff that I know I can do on Biter." She gave the annoyed jarvey a gentle stroke. "But never tried on humans. You up for it?"

Originally Posted by Mell  He was about as good at this as Airey was. He had no idea why he was even speaking to the Professor about it. He had two uncles and an aunt that he could talk to and they would most definitely be better than the Astronomy Professor.
But when he thought about it, Michael realised that he wanted the opinion of someone who wasn't apart of the Toussaint clan. At least this way it would be objective.
If he managed to get an answer out Airey that was.
"Well like I said, Zahra and I have grown up together. We're best friends." He paused for a moment. "But over the past six months or so we've become...more than friends." Surely the man would know what he meant by that. Surely he didn't have to go into detail. "Anyway ever since we have gotten closer, our parents are trying to separate us." And it was really rather frustrating. Okay. He gave up. There was no way he was going to be able to turn this all into some sort of astronomy analogy without making himself entirely distracted and therefore missing just about everything the young Gryffindor was saying.......so he was just going to man up and work through his squirmy insides.
And yes. More than friends. Obviously. That was what the term girlfriend meant after all so there were no qualms with that statement. Unless he meant girl friend, with a space, and not girlfriend with no space. But that thought was quickly dismissed as Airey just trying not to focus on the real 'issue' at hand.
Oh, doing the opposite of what your parents want you to do? Well, Airey was quite the expert in that. Although not when it came to girls. Never with girls. Which was now an entirely different thought that had him distracted. Medea meeting his family - which hadn't happened yet for obvious reasons.
"Ooooooooh sweet solstice," he whispered, more to himself than in response to what Mr. Toussaint had just shared. Blue eyes refocusing on the young man he took a deep breath and finally spoke. "I'm no love expert," he began. In case THAT fact wasn't obvious. Thank Merlin they were alone right now in the Tower Patch because....just yeah. "So forgive me for looking at this through a scientist's lens, but is this irrational behavior based on anything factual or just pure emotion? I often found that when my parents disapproved of something I did growing up, it was more them clinging to their slightly dated attitudes and opinions because it helps them feel safe in an evolving world." He paused to observe Mr. Toussaint's appearance for a moment. "From an entirely outsider's perspective, you appear to be happy, healthy, and perhaps even a bit more enthusiastic than previous terms." All good things, obviously.
There was another theory rolling around inside his brain, but he would propose that one after receiving some more information.

"But never tried on humans. You up for it?" "They could have order if they went with my way." Kyroh insisted. Maybe? Some order? Or maybe none at all. Why was order even needed? As long as dates and stuff where there, it was all good! Though Miss Dora did make sense about starting from the back. "I'll try that next time."And if he fell asleep again then no more Hogwarts, A History for him.
Talking to the ghosts and portraits? Really? Kyroh's eyes lit up. "I can talk to them and I won't be bugging them!?" Yeah!? He didn't know that! He had always thought the people in the portraits were busy doing their own thing.
Hmmmmmm. "I think i'll still keep my distance from any flesh eating plants." And he had JUST started thinking that they were pretty alright. But he didn't want to get eaten, even if Bentley did feed the plants.
The Jarvey was making noises again. And swearing. Kyroh hesitated and almost brought his hands up to his ears so he could block out the bad curse words. He wasn't suppose to hear those. Looking up at Miss Dora, Kyroh almost scooted away because she was giving him strange looks. "....Do you want a hug?" was that what was wrong?
She.....was going to try spells on him? Kyroh blinked. "You're not going to set me on fire right?"

Order was needed in so many things, and books was one of them. She nodded her head. He needed to read that book, it was full of useful information.
Dora shook her head, brushing aside a few stray hairs from her face. "No, most of them enjoy a good conversation and if they don't just keep bugging them until you get what information you need." That's what she had done when she had been his age. "That's the smart thing to do." Until the plant came looking for him, but she didn't say that. Again, not interested in scaring any first years today. Not intentionally at least.
Did she.... No. No she did not want a hug. "I'm fine." No need for hugs. She didn't bother fixing her face. Nor did she bother with silencing Biter, though he managed that on his own by climbing up on her shoulders, hiding beneath her long hair. "No, I won't set you on fire." She paused. "Or do anything that's not irreversible."

Dora shook her head, brushing aside a few stray hairs from her face. "No, most of them enjoy a good conversation and if they don't just keep bugging them until you get what information you need." That's what she had done when she had been his age.
"That's the smart thing to do." Until the plant came looking for him, but she didn't say that. Again, not interested in scaring any first years today. Not intentionally at least.
Did she.... No. No she did not want a hug. "I'm fine." No need for hugs. She didn't bother fixing her face. Nor did she bother with silencing Biter, though he managed that on his own by climbing up on her shoulders, hiding beneath her long hair.
"No, I won't set you on fire." She paused. "Or do anything that's not irreversible." "No one reads the book anyways." Kyroh retorted. Except for Miss Dora apparently. And his dad but he was an adult, and he taught at Hogwarts so that meant he HAD to read it right?
Well, now Kyroh knew who he would go talk to AFTER! Some portraits! Yeah! There was one with a fat lady on the seventh floor so maybe that would be a good one to talk too? She looked interesting. And if not there was always more.
Smart thing to do? Did that mean he was smart? YEAH! HIS PREFECT THOUGHT HE WAS SMART! "It is right? It's cause I'm smart and I don't wanna die!" Kyroh puffed out his chest. All proud like. Until she spoke again.
No hug? Not even one? She was still looking at him though. Weird Kyroh's shoulders shrank a bit. Not even a small hug? The Jarvey seemed to quiet down though, and so that had to be good right?
Okay well now that he knew he wasn't going to be in any danger. "Can you make me FLY?!" The boy asked excitedly. Was that a spell she had to practice? Making people fly!?

"Just because you don't read the book doesn't mean no one does." She wasn't the first to read the book in it's entirety, and she certainly wasn't going to be the last.
A hint of amusement was in her eyes at his excitement. She didn't get why he was so excited and proud all of a sudden, and could only assume it was the whole being smart and living thing.
Not even one. The fact that he was still sitting so close should be a reward on it's own. Dora watched his sudden mode change with distant curiosity, saying nothing. If he wanted a hug or closeness, he could find one of the other females in their house much more willing to share those things. "Technically, yes I can." She paused thoughtfully. "I can do that spell first if you want. Noverbal practice." She didn't actually need to practice it, but if it gained her his trust then she'd have a go at it.

Kyroh nodded though because he wanted to show Miss Dora that he WAS listening to Her. .....He just thought she was wrong. "We should take a survey then to see who's right!"
She knew how to make him fly?! Woah. His eyes grew. That wasn't even something he thought you could do with magic! "OKAY!" He yelled happily jumping up! He was SO excited and all for it, until a thought entered his brain. "....Will it hurt?"

What do I get out of it?" Besides the satisfaction of being right, because that wouldn't be enough.
..... So much for studying. Dora banished her books back to her dorm with a wave of her wand, and shifted to look at him better without jostling Biter too much. A quiet jarvey was a good jarvey right now. "No, it won't hurt. I've had it done to me before, it's pretty fun."
Her wand trained on him, she waited patiently. "Are you ready?"

Her wand trained on him, she waited patiently. "Are you ready?" A HUG she would get a HUG! Or...at least that's what Kyroh would offer if she were someone who liked hugs. He didn't even know she had to get something out of it! "Er...I can do stuff for you. Stuff that you can't or don't want to do." He'd be like Kyroh the House Elf or something! He'd be a good one too! "What would I get?"
Kyroh jumped back, and his eyes grew because WHAT. The books. Just GONE! "Woah. How...." The first year mumbled, looking oddly like a deer caught in headlights.
How did she even DO that?
As long as it didn't hurt? Kyroh puffed out his chest once more. "I'm READY!"

And yes. More than friends. Obviously. That was what the term girlfriend meant after all so there were no qualms with that statement. Unless he meant girl friend, with a space, and not girlfriend with no space. But that thought was quickly dismissed as Airey just trying not to focus on the real 'issue' at hand.
Oh, doing the opposite of what your parents want you to do? Well, Airey was quite the expert in that. Although not when it came to girls. Never with girls. Which was now an entirely different thought that had him distracted. Medea meeting his family - which hadn't happened yet for obvious reasons.
"Ooooooooh sweet solstice," he whispered, more to himself than in response to what Mr. Toussaint had just shared. Blue eyes refocusing on the young man he took a deep breath and finally spoke. "I'm no love expert," he began. In case THAT fact wasn't obvious. Thank Merlin they were alone right now in the Tower Patch because....just yeah. "So forgive me for looking at this through a scientist's lens, but is this irrational behavior based on anything factual or just pure emotion? I often found that when my parents disapproved of something I did growing up, it was more them clinging to their slightly dated attitudes and opinions because it helps them feel safe in an evolving world." He paused to observe Mr. Toussaint's appearance for a moment. "From an entirely outsider's perspective, you appear to be happy, healthy, and perhaps even a bit more enthusiastic than previous terms." All good things, obviously.
There was another theory rolling around inside his brain, but he would propose that one after receiving some more information.
For a moment there Michael thought that the Professor was not going to respond to what he had just told the man. He was starting to feel even more uncomfortable with this conversation. He was just thinking about telling Airey not to worry about it when he finally spoke.
And to be honest, Michael had absolutely no idea what the Professor was asking. He didn't want to appear stupid either by asking him to repeat the question. He rocked back on his heels and rubbed the back of his neck with his hand. "My dad wants me to do good at school and you know have a good career and all that, so he sees Zahra as a distraction." He paused for a moment and dropped his hand by his side. "Mum....well she...had me when she was only seventeen and while I don't think she regrets it." That's what she kept telling him anyway. "I think she's worried that...you know..." He didn't have to elaborate, did he?
The compliment made Michael chuckle a little. "Well we did promise our parents that we would be good so that we could see each other over the summer."

There wasn't so much that Dora couldn't do as there were things she didn't want to do, so she supposed that could be his payment since there didn't seem to be much else the first year could offer. "Okay, sure." She tilted her head to the side considerately. "Whatever you want." He could pick now or later.
Simple magic around the younger ones, Dora was now finding out, was very impressive. That or they were easily impressed. "I just sent everything back to my room." Easy spell, for her at least.
Now that she had his permission, she gave a lazy swish and flick of her wand, raising him up a few inches off the ground by his clothing.
She would wait for his excitement to die down before taking him higher.

The compliment made Michael chuckle a little. "Well we did promise our parents that we would be good so that we could see each other over the summer." Airey had forgotten to breathe, again, as he listened to the Gryffindor explain things a bit further. And, while it all did not directly answer his question, he was able to conclude that the concerns were purely an emotional response and not something that had been logically thought through.
And then Mr. Toussaint went and said................THAT.
Just when he thought things could not get any more awkward they did and there was really only one thing that the astronomer did when it felt like he was going spontaneously combust. And it was perhaps one of the most socially unacceptable ways to deal with things. There had only been one other such instance on record to date and that had been when Calista Elwood had kissed him in the middle of the dance floor.
Saying nothing, the wide-eyed-mouth-partially-hanging-open professor lied down on the ledge of the fountain with his face down against the pavement and his arms held tightly against his sides.
Planking. It was a thing. It was happening right now.
Just gonna be one with the fountain and try to stop thinking about THINGS.

She would wait for his excitement to die down before taking him higher. Whatever he wanted could mean a lot of things. A whole lot of things. Kyroh tapped his finger to his chin. He should probably start making a list of whatever he wanted!
But....how...everything? He still looked at her. Eyes wide and everything. Because Kyroh was still trying to figure out how she could send everything back to her room just like that.
One second he was on the ground. The next he felt a tugging on his robes and then suddenly his feet weren't touching anything. NOTHING. His feet were hovering just above the ground. "COOL I'M LIKE A GHOST NOW!"
