As you enter the room, the first thing you see in the middle of the room is a hand-made Turkish carpet and nothing else. To the immediate right of the door stands a coat hanger for four coats a time, and you are expected to hang your coat there before fully entering the room. Professor's desk and two chairs in front of it are located at the right end with three pictures hanging from the wall, and his bookcase and 'emergency potions' shelves with a representational potion brewing set are located at the left end of the room. The walls are painted light blue.
The desk and visitors' set look expensive, and they indeed are. They are from genuine mahogany, all cut from the same wood. There is usually a big pile of papers hastily arranged at the farther side of the desk, and you will always see a potion phial and a book on the more organised side. Behind it is his office chair, and in front of it are two comfortable looking armchairs with a coffee table between them. You'll find a bowl of sweets that is filled with cheering up potion that will last for approximately three hours. Go on, take a cherry, apple, orange or lemon flavoured. Be careful not to take the last lemon though, because they are his favourite.
To the right side of the wall behind the desk hangs a picture depicting a Mardin, Midyat house with smiling kids sometimes singing a song and sometimes playing a game. To the left is a painting depicting Afghanistan with an old wizard at the centre of it. He is brewing a mysterious potion and will be more than happy to speak to you in Persian, but he just smiles upon asking about what he is doing. He was a respected wizard of Afghanistan, and Professor Culloden paid a fortune for the painting, so act accordingly. Beneath them in the middle hangs a picture of Borneo rainforests with birds and insects. If you are lucky, you will be treated with a birds lullaby and if you are unlucky, the insects will drill your brains with their buzzing sound.
The middle is only occupied by a handmade Turkish rug. While you may step on it, you will land yourself in detention faster than you can say 'potion' if those shoes are muddy or wet.
At the other end of the room is a bookcase full of books about potions, both muggle and magical plants and animals. Don't be surprised if you see your professor's name on 3-4 of them. Depending on how much he likes you, he may lend them to you.
On the shelves next to the bookcase stands his golden, representational potions brewing set and a few phials full of different potions. Along with the carpet and pictures, the set is his most prized possession.
If you can find him in his office, you are 'okay' to pay a visit.

[QUOTE=StarShine;11796063] Imagine if Adi really did that though... Cosgrach didn't answer for a moment. The idea was too brilliant to comment on further, so he just laughed at the kitchens remark. "That's why I took on the job," he said and winked - not really, but he DID think about that.
Hehe. Cosgrach waved his free hand as if to say Don't worry, I know."No, Victoria is the prettier of us," he said, "but thank you. I might bring her here sometime." Once he made sure acromantulas really were gone and there was nothing after his precious baby.
HEHEHE. When he was famous, eh? Why not? "That, I will," he said, "and I expect some credit for it. After all, we spent 6 years here." SIX YEARS. Ugh. It was an eternity.
Time for the snack now. Cosgrach took a bite, then another, then...
FHSŞKAŞJSL WHAT WAS THIS FPAKŞDŞ HE WASN'T HIMSELF HE WAS A-
"TWEET."
HE WAS A CANARY! DID HE FLAIL? OR NOT? WHAT SHOULD HE DOOOO?
ADI UR DEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDD.
Hehe. Adi really could be himself around Culloden so he let out a snort. "Sureee. We both know you wanted to come over to the Hufflepuff side. You got tired of being a Slythern.'' OHHH! Would he actually bring his baby here?! For some reason, the seventh year got even more bouncy. "Really? I would like to see her if you do!'' He liked kids a lot. Mhmmm. It would explain why he had so many 'younger sisters' here at Hogwarts and why he loved to spend the holidays coaching the younger members at his cricket club.
Six years? "Has it been that much time already? I'm just glad you stuck around for those years. Don't think I would have learnt as much as I did.'' Sure, his one year of Lafay had been great but she was SO serious that Adi didn't think he would have enjoyed potions as much.
Great Majestic Hippogriffs... it was happening! Culloden took a bite and then...
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
There was now a CANARY occupying his seat. Laughing heartily, Adi snagged the camera which had been expertly concealed in his robes. SNAP, SNAP, SNAP!"Don't worry, Professor. You'll be back to human in three minutes.'' Until then... enjoy being a canary. A big, HufflepuffYELLOW canary! ''Want to test those wings, Professor?"

Olly may or may not have been a tiny bit nervous walking into professor Culloden's office. It was mostly for Ellery though. He didn't like seeing anything bad happening to his siblings, like them getting in trouble, even if it was her fault and she totally deserved it. He'd heard her and just nodded in response. Fine, she could do what she wanted. He was going to sit back and let her do the talking.
He made his way into the office and sat. He didn't want to be there. Olly was withdrawing his statement about being the one to do it because everyone knew it had been a blatant lie. Could he just get out of there? He didn't want them both to get in trouble. He certainly didn't want to lose points for something he didn't do. Something he didn't even condone Ellery doing, even though he hadn't really made any move to stop her.
They all agreed that it was Ellery's fault, so could he just leave? Please?
Timmy slid into the office, eyes gazing around. She had never been in here. She usually sent Brian while the blonde wandered off and couldn't meet up with her friend later. Well, at least it looked cozy in here and all. Shifting her weight on either foot, Timmy only tried to think about what her detention would be like. Maybe it was writing lines until her fingers fell off and she'd have to use them in her next potions class.
Maybe something like that.

Ellery was taking deep breaths, then swallowed multiple times because her mouth was dry. And she was a little bored, and a little hyperactive, and a little distracted. And she didn't know why she was here. A prank? When the Head Girl made him STEAK and then mouthed off TO HIS FACE?! IT SCREAMED INJUSTICE.
Well. While she was here, maybe she'd get to that point. Though she figured criticizing the Head Girl would NOT go over well.

Riley was being uncharacteristically quiet for once, half hidden behind Reagan.
She KNEW they weren't in serious trouble because, well, she just knew, okay? Why would they be? Working together was hardly a crime, was it? She sat down when Professor Culloden requested them to and looked up at him with 'I-AM-INNOCENT-PLS-ADORE-ME' eyes, firmly in the belief that she'd done NOTHING wrong. And he didn't want the chocolate? His loss.
After Rea had explained her bit of the story -- if you could call it that -- Riley opened her mouth. "I didn't realise we weren't supposed to work together? I mean, I suppose I didn't really see anyone else workin' with someone but I needed the help. And I know that you coulda helped me but I didn't think of that at the time, y'see? I'm very NEW to all this magic stuff and Rea here helped me with the spells which I think was very, very nice of her."
And, as an afterthought, but whispered. "I also have a list of questions because I'm very interested in learning more about all of this and I didn't wanna bombard you in class."
She offered the professor a small grin, trying not to wiggle too much in her seat.
Hehe. Adi really could be himself around Culloden so he let out a snort. "Sureee. We both know you wanted to come over to the Hufflepuff side. You got tired of being a Slythern.'' OHHH!

Cosgrach nodded at Adi. He would introduce him to his daughter if he brought her here...

Cosgrach DID flap those wings and tried to reach the boy. He WAS getting a taste of those wings, yes he was! So, ATTAAAAAACK.
Also, he would pay for this.

Nah, Cosgrach didn't think those traditional detentions worked at all, so he pointed at the chairs and said "Please, take a seat." He certainly took his own, and looked at her briefly before saying quite calmly: "What else would you like to call me, Miss Kyle?" Let's hear it.

Olly? The boy? Cosgrach looked at him, and said "Alright. You can leave if you want." Or stay. He didn't mind either case.
Turning to the girl, he asked quite calmly, almost in a friendly tone: "Why did you write that on the blackboard?" Y'know, he was simply curious.

Not everyone was her. The older Ravenclaw understood this.
"Riley asked me to help her...and then if I simply wanted to work together. I felt this worked better for the both of us as I didn't plan to brew the potion at all."...Well, he'd asked and Rea didn't see anything wrong with her emotions and feelings on the matter. Simply put, she didn't approve of the ingredients. So, with Riley's help, she'd been able to participate without directly interacting with them.
Cosgrach listened to both of them and frowned a little in confusion. "No no, you are allowed," he said, "I just wish you asked me first. Whether it's okay for two people to work on one single cauldron." THAT was the main reason they were there. He would have agreed anyway, but that wasn't the point.
"Why didn't you plan to brew it?" he asked to the older girl. That was odd. If she didn't plan to brew it, why come to the class in the first place? Also, the questions? He would reassure the younger girl later on that.

Dante said getting up.
This Term would be the term of No Explosions.
All sorted out, then?!
GREAT.
Cosgrach grinned at the boy. "See ya later then." Like, pretty soon.

Ellery didn't wait for Olly to decide to leave or not, she just peered at the professor from under her eyelashes. She needed to think about how she was going to answer this.
Was she going to act innocent, "I didn't know it was against the rules?" or was she going to go along the route of "it didn't actually end up hurting anyone, plus, the prefects didn't do anything about it" OR was she going to stand up and simply say that she thought it would be funny?
The answer: all three.
"I mean, it wasn't stated in the rules ever that students aren't allowed to be funny and creative…I guess I did it coz I thought it'd be funny…I didn't intend anyone to get hurt, and no one did…plus, I guess I thought if push came to shove, a prefect or someone would stop it if it got too out of hand."
Timmy sat down, not looking at the professor for reasons. She bit her lip and felt it tremble from the struggle of not laughing. Did she want to call him anything else? Weirdo might have been one of them. Culloden was loud and cranky, then he was calm and collective. Who does that so quickly? 'Do not snort' Timmy kept repeating to herself in her head. Laughing would just make everything worse for her. But she felt the laughter almost escape her.
FOR THE LOVE THAT IS ALL HOLY IN MERLIN'S NAME, DO. NOT. LAUGH.
Instead, Timmy sniffled a bit and shook her head. "No, sir."

He missed his old life where he made a face all day, hated everyone and made them fear him. MUCH EASIER.
"I think Abraham made a mistake too," he said, eyes still on her, "but his mistake was you. You're the cheekiest head girl ever. Or do you hate only me?" No no, he didn't mean any of this, but it still was a LEGIT question. Was she honestly like this around only him and Piers?

...But then Culloden was being TOTALLY mean to her instead. PFFFFFFFFT. "Ruuuuude," she chimed, appearing outwardly unfazed by the man's (playful?) attempt to bring her down, and crossed her arms smugly over her chest. "He didn't make any mistakes, contrary to what everyone seems to be so inclined to believe." Kind of a touchy subject for Sophie Brown deep down, but she was trying really, really hard to not let on to her buried hurt over any accusation that she didn't deserve the badge. She avoided Zander's gaze, though, because she was certain he would see the hurt behind her facade if she dared to look at him, especially since he already knew she was sensitive over the badge from her bout with Evie. He was good at noticing the subtleties when something was wrong, and Culloden never had been. So she kept her gaze locked on the potions master.
"'N I don't hate you." It was weird that he'd even say that, though. "M'only cheeky with you, though. Well, 'n sometimes Flammy, when he's in a good mood. He's less fun to joke 'round with, though, 'cause he gets super uncomfortable and super uneasy really fast. He doesn't have as good of a sense of humor as you, which is why you're usually my target." See? So it was a thing of admiration, really. He should've been flattered. "'N now that both Quiggles 'n Javy are gone, too, you're the only one left with a sense of humor, so you're probably gonna be bothered by me more than anyone." Besides Dakest, who was quickly growing on Sophie Brown. Dakest was actually almost just as fun to tease as Culloden was, maybe even more.
Zander was almost up and out of his chair until Culloden turned and made him sit back down. And he was SO CLOSE too. Darn. If it weren't for Cosgroach Culloden and that meddling Sophie Brown too. Sigh. So he sat, though not by choice. He really didn't see the point of being here anyways. Of course he was sure that Sophie Brown had some sort of purpose in coming for this office visit. But why the heck had she made him join in? Y'know, the saddest part is that this happened quite a lot. And yet Zander STILL always went along with it. Of course not without protest, but he always let Sophie win in the end because how do you say no to her? It's not even fair. His weakness, clearly.
So he sat.
Of course he had understood that her comment actually meant a lot more than she was letting on, but Sophie wasn't even trying to meet his eyes... But he still kept his gaze towards her, a little concerned. But this whole exchange was way beyond him right now.
So he just sat and let them do their thing.

But at least he could know where it went wrong, and correct it next time, yeah?
Cosgrach opened the door himself, and smiled at the boy. "Hello." Bellaire. He must be related to Sophia. "Come inside." He stepped aside to let him in.
Blaise barely managed a smile due to all the nerves right now. Serious nerve. Did you get in trouble when you didn't get potions right? Was he gonna lose marks off his homework because it wasn't HIS potion that he used and wrote an essay about? Would he have to brew it AGAIN? Oh Merlin he barely managed it the first time--and he had help then!! Slowly, the Gryffindor entered the room, allowing his quick quotes quill and notepad to float along before him.
"Good day, Professor." 'Cause Blaise had manners, yup, and that might end up saving him in case the Professor got as mean and cranky as he did during that first class...which probably meant he needed to make his smile wider and cuter but right now it was REALLY HARD.
"I didn't mean to mess up the Potion. I was just trying to keep up with everybody and I kept falling behind then I finallycaught upanddidn'twanna endupbehindagainandI'mnotcutoutfordetentionProfess or." His wand didn't work right. If something went wrong down there, he would have no means of helping himself--could they see the dungeons though? Even once? It'd make for a brilliant story.

Even when Professor Culloden frowned a little, Reagan's face remained open and lovely. It had been simple miscommunication. She'd not realized that she'd needed to ask, as she'd never been in this situation before. So, that's all that had been. Rea hadn't meant to offend the man. "While I can understand and appreciate that most potions do contain animal parts, not all of them do. So, I'd hoped that today would be lucky for me." Meaning the potion of focus would be a non!animal-ingredient one. Wishful thinking, maybe...but Reagan was an optimistic girl. To a fault, to be honest.
Before the Professor would respond, the older Ravenclaw explained further; gentle smile still in place. "Organic potion-making is a passion of mine. I hope to find herbal alternatives for many of the concoctions on the market today. So, while I may not agree with the ingredients list, there could be important techniques to be learned."

Cosgrach grinned at her then. Of course Botros didn't make a mistake. If anything, she was one of the best this school had ever had. So he waved his hand dismissively. "Everyone already knows you're the best." He meant it too, it was quite obvious on his face.
And he WAS flattered. For once, he had no rival and no one to be compared to, no chance to be called 'old'; as far as he knew at least so he grinned at her cheekily back. "Finally," he said, "I'm the only one, eh?" Being the only one left sounded weird, but he didn't dwell on that much. Instead, he pointed at Zander with his head and said "Why did you bring the poor guy here?"

Was she lying? Not really…
Now that the boy was given a chance - to stay nor go out - Cosgrach could focus on the girl, and he inclined his head to the side a little while his intent brown eyes were on her. Hmm... well.
"You and I have different sense of humour," he said, but he didn't look too bothered by it. "I believe ya. That your intentions weren't bad." And the outcome wasn't bad either. Still... "No harm done, then. You can leave if you don't have anything else to say." That had been his intention: to see whether she lied or were innocent. Good to know she was the latter.
Still, he would watch her closely. Just in case.

"Why did you have such an outburst in the class, then?" That... was more than plain old 'Gryffindor courage'.

Oh Merlin he barely managed it the first time--and he had help then!! Slowly, the Gryffindor entered the room, allowing his quick quotes quill and notepad to float along before him.
"Good day, Professor." 'Cause Blaise had manners, yup, and that might end up saving him in case the Professor got as mean and cranky as he did during that first class...which probably meant he needed to make his smile wider and cuter but right now it was REALLY HARD.
"I didn't mean to mess up the Potion. I was just trying to keep up with everybody and I kept falling behind then I finallycaught upanddidn'twanna endupbehindagainandI'mnotcutoutfordetentionProfess or." His wand didn't work right. If something went wrong down there, he would have no means of helping himself--could they see the dungeons though? Even once? It'd make for a brilliant story.
"Hello, Mr. Bellaire," Cosgrach greeted the boy and - okay. Okay. Wow. Okay. The kid had a long breath, got that.
He grinned at the boy to hopefully show that it was ALRIGHT.
"I don't... give detention to students who brew wrong," he said hesitantly - the boy mentioned 'detention' somewhere there, right? "I know you didn't mean to mess it up. No one wants that. It's your first ever potion, so you have the right to make mistakes." Yes? Good. "We can go over your mistakes if you want." Or not.
Timmy gave a small shrug. Did she really need a reason as to why she had the outburst? Kids do things because they want to when they're parents weren't around. "Guess I didn't mean to say to too loud, but it happened," Plus, the new rules were ridiculous and made her never want to go to another potions class again.

I don't bend easy, budge or break;
Trust me, you don't want it with the female Scarface;
She honoured her name, she did! And it showed on his face. He enjoyed this so very much . . .
Anything else? He thought about it - oh, duh, the most obvious thing.
"You can come to me at any moment when you have a question. Well, except during sleeping time but yeah. I don't mind." On the contrary, that was his job."And, ask Leo for some good theory books. My favourite is Potions For All - as the name suggests, it addresses everyone and is easy, but any book in the library is good."
Did SHE have any questions?
Okay so those had to have been the best batch of cinnamon rolls that she had ever made. That was delicious! She could almost take another one, but she didn't. They were for Culloden see she was totally nice like that and would share.
Plus if she could trade food for potioneering tricks she would totally do that. Now if it would only work on better grades. She's probably try that too.
"Thanks for the help. At least I've got plenty of time to study too so that helps.' She really appreciated the advice. She would have to go to the library. How many times had she been in the library in the five years that she had been here? This was going to be fun. That was all, she thought. Well she kind of wanted to causally bring up Bart because she really liked talking about him. She decided against that.
"So I guess I should let you enjoy the rest of your cinnamon rolls." She stood up not wanting to overstay her visit. She was sure he was terribly busy. He always seems like a busy man.

T H R E E MINUTES!?
Cosgrach DID flap those wings and tried to reach the boy. He WAS getting a taste of those wings, yes he was! So, ATTAAAAAACK.
Also, he would pay for this.
Click, click, click! went the camera as it snapped some more pictures of Professor Birdman Adi was enjoying himself. Like REALLY enjoying himself, yo! But he also noted something. His modified Canary Cream seemed to work for just about anyone. Weight, age and stuff like that didn't seem to matter. Of course he had only tested this on two persons so far but he liked the results still.
But then...
ATTACK OF PROFESSOR BIRDMAN!
Great Hiippogriffs! Adi had not been expecting that! The canary zoomed right at him, catching Adi with its wings on the right side of the head. "Oi! Professor! Calm down!'' His hands were protectively over his head as he tried to dodge the bird. "If you turn back to human while you're airbourne, you'll crash to the ground.'' Was it wrong that Adi found that thought amusing? Hehe. Anyway, hopefully that would be enough to stop the attack if Culloden realised what he had said.
Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

WHATEVER HE WANTED.
He didn't? What? No detention???
That big breath the little boy had been holding, he let it out immediately and took several others just to regulate it. He had a right to not get the Potion right the first time? Was that a rule? Could he go explain that to the other Professors for him too?????? They liked setting class assignments and assuming First Years knew stuff but if no one else, he was walking testament to the fact that this was not so. Couple that with the fact his wand hated him and suddenly this Professor had made his day. One less class to fear or dread until he got on his wand's good side--wherever that might be.
"Thank Merlin!" NOW his smile could genuinely grow. "And I'll do better next time, honest."
Oh, they were gonna go over what he did wrong too? Yeah...he figured....Blaise spared a glance at his floating quill and notepad. He'd told the thing to stop taking notes if it ever came to this part but...the Professor wasn't mad at him....and he didn't THINK he was going to be mean about it so maybe it was okay. The boy gave a small nod. "I'd like if we did."

Professor Culloden frowned a little, Reagan's face remained open and lovely. It had been simple miscommunication. She'd not realized that she'd needed to ask, as she'd never been in this situation before. So, that's all that had been. Rea hadn't meant to offend the man.*"While I can understand and appreciate that most potions do contain animal parts, not all of them do. So, I'd hoped that today would be lucky for me."*Meaning the potion of focus would be a non!animal-ingredient one. Wishful thinking, maybe...but Reagan was an optimistic girl. To a fault, to be honest.
Before the Professor would respond, the older Ravenclaw explained further; gentle smile still in place.*"Organic potion-making is a passion of mine. I hope to find herbal alternatives for many of the concoctions on the market today. So, while I may not agree with the ingredients list, there could be important techniques to be learned."
Animal stuff again. Well, at least his students were good kids? Yeah? He didn't really understand the point, anşmals weren't really harmed, but he had no problem with it either to object.
"I look forward to your endevours." The older girl's. Whose surname he couldn't remember right now. He didn't comment on her ideas, though, because he didn't know what to say. However, he really wondered if she could substitute the ingredients, even though he didn't believe it could be done.
"You can ask me any question, any time." Yeah? Well, obviously except the nights but the younger girl looked bright enough to understand that. Hehe. "If it's at a time that interrupts the class, I will say so anyway."
Now that all was settled... "I trust you will ask me first next time." He smiled. They looked like good girls. "Good luck to you." He meant it, to the older girl. Everything was possible in science and magic. "If that's all, you can leave." It was late, after all.

Well, Cosgrach hoped the boy didn't hate him anymore if he did in the first place. Or fear. Or anything negative.
So he smiled when the kid did and shrugged. "As long as your mistakes aren't intentional, don't fret it." No actually he should pay attention, but Cosgrach didn't want him to dislike the subject or fear it. The mistakes he did wouldn't cause a huge disaster anyway. Or so he hoped...
His mistakes, then. Cosgrach leaned forward and cleared his throat, as this part was important. "You didn't pay attention to the water," he said, "and the fire. You can be careless in easy potions-like adding 710 mL instead of 700, but this one requires your full attention. Transfiguration is tough job. So, amount of water, the size of fire..." He opened a drawer and brought out a paper. It was the notes he took while examining their potions. "Apparently you added the leeches too late... which is important in every potion, because of how the ingredients interact with each other esprcially when heated. The boomslang skin was off too..." He paused. "Always check the ingredients by yourself. Always. Because it's your potion." He smiled. "Of course, this is your first ever potion. So it's natural. You did rather well, actually. I expected more mistakes from first years."
A little bit of encouragement didn't hurt.

You know what? Cosgrach didn't care. He didn't care what this girl thought of him. She was just another spoilt kid thinking she had every right because she was the student. Bet they owned a house elf and all.
"Then keep your thoughts to yourself next time," he said, tired; and didn't even look at her when he said "You can leave."

"Oh, thank you!" He WOULD enjoy them, very much. "They're delicious." In case she didn't know already. "Take care."
Another roll on its wayyyy.

ADIIIIII!!!
Cosgrach didn't mean to harm the boy of course and kept brushing his wings on his face. They were having fun, so his wings didn't really come down hard, so he didn't heed to the advice. Flop-flop-flo--
Okay his time was uuup-
He quickly landed and the transfiguration began backwards... but he wasn't saying a word before he was fully back.

"Mistakes are never intentional Professor, or they wouldn't be mistakes." The boy offered helpfully, hoping it would speak to his own mistakes. Blaise was averse to failure in all forms. Mistakes counted as failures and therefore were not something he ran into if he could help it.
As the Professor continued talking, the boy was reminded of earlier when he didn't want to know said mistakes that--unfortunately--his quill had started scribbling down of it's own free will. That......................was a LOT for a potion he could have sworn he'd aced. A ridiculous amount in truth. He'd never be able to tell his Dad about that; he'd probably wonder how he made so many simple errors that SOUNDED like they could have easily been avoided if he was more careful which was something his father always tried preaching to him.
The 11 year old needed to sit down and so he did without having been invited by the Professor to do so. His weak little heart couldn't take it. SO MUCH wrong in the space of one hour when he'd actually been trying so hard.
It wasn't til the Professor told him he did better than expected that his gaze shot to the man again? "Really?" There was hope! "How many other First Years botched up their potions?" There was probably plenty! HE did better than expected.
Happy feeling back.

He quickly landed and the transfiguration began backwards... but he wasn't saying a word before he was fully back.
This HAD been fun though, so Adi was safe.
ANGRY BIRD ATTAAAAACKING!
Hehe.
Realising that Professor Canary/ Birdman wasn't actually causing any harm to his extremely handsome features, Adi removed his hands cautiously. Still had to watch out for those claws though. Yup. A scratch on this face? NO WAY! Not even the tiniest bit.
Oh, oh, oh! Culloden was changing back! Cue the Puffer taking more pictures and holding onto it REALLY tightly in case the man decided to Summon it. Hehe. Adi was taking no risks here. He eyed Culloden as innocently as he could after watching the transformation with great fascination.
"How are you feeling, Professor?" He was desperately trying not to laugh here. "You're my second victi- I mean test subject for this. You should be proud of my little accomplishment.'' Culloden WAS proud, right? After all, it was thanks to the man who had taught him about careful research and so forth.
Zander was almost up and out of his chair until Culloden turned and made him sit back down. And he was SO CLOSE too. Darn. If it weren't for Cosgroach Culloden and that meddling Sophie Brown too. Sigh. So he sat, though not by choice. He really didn't see the point of being here anyways. Of course he was sure that Sophie Brown had some sort of purpose in coming for this office visit. But why the heck had she made him join in? Y'know, the saddest part is that this happened quite a lot. And yet Zander STILL always went along with it. Of course not without protest, but he always let Sophie win in the end because how do you say no to her? It's not even fair. His weakness, clearly.
So he sat.
Of course he had understood that her comment actually meant a lot more than she was letting on, but Sophie wasn't even trying to meet his eyes... But he still kept his gaze towards her, a little concerned. But this whole exchange was way beyond him right now.
So he just sat and let them do their thing.

And he WAS flattered. For once, he had no rival and no one to be compared to, no chance to be called 'old'; as far as he knew at least so he grinned at her cheekily back. "Finally," he said, "I'm the only one, eh?" Being the only one left sounded weird, but he didn't dwell on that much. Instead, he pointed at Zander with his head and said "Why did you bring the poor guy here?"
Everyone already knew she was the best? "That's a lie." Well, he probably didn't THINK he was lying, but he was wrong. But... she didn't want to talk about that right now because it wasn't the time nor the place, especially when she wanted this whole visit to be about Zander, so she pressed on, "But it's fine." No big deal. Especially if Culloden thought everything was fine between Soph and all of her peers, she'd let him keep going along and thinking that.
Easier that way. It wasn't anything she couldn't handle anyway.
She smiled a little at the man's relief at being her "last" remaining favorite fatherly professor - which really wasn't true, as she had Dakest, but he was more like her goofy big brother than her dad - and followed Culloden's pointing to Zander, giving the Gryffindor a smile.
"I wanted to come visit you 'n I dragged him along 'cause... the more the merrier, right?" She shrugged. "Thought you'd like the company. S'not every day your favorite students become Head Girl and Head Boy together. Thought you'd be proud." She shot a cheeky grin over at Zander - FAVORITE STUDENT, see? There was no way Culloden was gonna deny that. She'd set him up for all the best compliments that way.

Happy feeling back.
Actually... Cosgrach thought about what he said, and he grinned in the end. "I suppose you're right!" About the mistakes. Then, they would be sabotage or something. Certainly not mistakes! The kids were clever sometimes.
Yep. Really. Cosgrach nodded. "Like... all? I think?.. Yeah. All of the first years made mistakes." He paused... yep. All. Even if not all, only one of them or so got it aaaaall right, so honestly, Blaise was fine.
"You related to Professor Bellaire?"

"And I am proud of you." Now, this was serious talk. "Your potion talent is something else. This is just a sign of it." He smiled and sat on the other armchair.
"What are you gonna do with the pictures?" Burn them, yes?

So he turned his gaze over to her to give her a 'yeah why' sort of look. She never really gave him a proper answer anyways. Soooo... What was she gonna make up this time, huuuuuh?
.... Favorite students? Uh. Yeah. Sure. Only if favorite students means 'your favorite Gryffindor to torture', then yeah. Zander was totally Culloden's favorite student. 'Giving her a 'WHUT' sort of look, he turned back over to Culloden. So uh, they could leave now right? "Um." He mussed his hair. "Just so you know, Sir... This was all Sophie's idea." Incase he couldn't already tell.

"What are you gonna do with the pictures?" Burn them, yes?
Adi laughed as feathers fell away from Culloden. It was GREAT to see that the man could be such a great sport about it. Then again, Adi DID know from since his third year that Culloden was a fan of pranks. Mhmmm. The seventh year would never forget how he had helped with pranking Benny with the Babbling Beverage. But hearing that Culloden had always wanted a student to prank him had taken him aback, even with the sarcastic tone. "Really? I'm glad I able to grant your wish.'' Hehe. Fairy God Student Adi
"Thanks, Professor! It's mostly thanks to you, you know. You're the best Potions Professor a student could ask for.'' Really, Adi was super lucky Culloden decided to teach at Hogwarts when he did. Oh, and he was rather proud of himself, too. It was going to his head a bit. Culloden was right. If he could do such things at seventeen, imagine what his future would be like.
"I'm going to keep these for the memories. One's for you too, Professor.'' Since Adi had gotten one of those cameras that instantly provided the picture once it was taken, he got now tapped the center of one of the pictures to cast a silent ''Alacer!'' There! The picture now showed Culloden going from human to canary. Hurhur. "So you can always remember me by when you need a good laugh.'' Adi handed over the picture.
Everyone already knew she was the best? "That's a lie." Well, he probably didn't THINK he was lying, but he was wrong.

'Giving her a 'WHUT' sort of look, he turned back over to Culloden. So uh, they could leave now right? "Um." He mussed his hair. "Just so you know, Sir... This was all Sophie's idea." Incase he couldn't already tell.
Well, SHE was WRONG. It wasn't a LIE, it was the TRUTH. He opened his mouth to say so, but she ended the discussion and what else could he say, really?
Ugh.
He raised his eyebrows at her explanation, and turned to watch Zander with an amused expression. "I can see it was all her idea," he said as he examined the boy from head to toe again - he was in love with her, wasn't he? - and shrugged as if she had just discovered his secret, evil plans all along.
"I suppose you are right. It's not every day my favourite students become Head Boy 'n' Girl, as it's not today either."
........he was SO FUNNY, wasn't he!?

But hearing that Culloden had always wanted a student to prank him had taken him aback, even with the sarcastic tone. "Really? I'm glad I able to grant your wish.'' Hehe. Fairy God Student Adi
"Thanks, Professor! It's mostly thanks to you, you know. You're the best Potions Professor a student could ask for.'' Really, Adi was super lucky Culloden decided to teach at Hogwarts when he did. Oh, and he was rather proud of himself, too. It was going to his head a bit. Culloden was right. If he could do such things at seventeen, imagine what his future would be like.
"I'm going to keep these for the memories. One's for you too, Professor.'' Since Adi had gotten one of those cameras that instantly provided the picture once it was taken, he got now tapped the center of one of the pictures to cast a silent ''Alacer!'' There! The picture now showed Culloden going from human to canary. Hurhur. "So you can always remember me by when you need a good laugh.'' Adi handed over the picture.
PFFFT. Cosgrach rolled his eyes at the boy, but he was also grinning. His wish, yeeeeeeah. He would have poked the guy, had they not been sitting so apart. "I hope I get to grant your wish too," he said. Actually... he had to talk to Benny about it. About time Benny got revenge for that Babbly Beverage, and Cosgrach would avenge THIS.
...with pictures.
N'awwwwwwww Adi was being nice, so Cosgrach smiled at him. "Thank you. I try my best." This was one of the rare moments when Cosgrach Culloden was being modest - he only did that when he believed the compliment was genuine. Adi was a great boy. The man looked forward to his development.
"WHAT!?" UGH. Haha, no, actually, he KNEW Adi wasn't going to burn them. And... he supposed, he was cool with that. Adi was graduating anyway. He took the picture, squinted at it for a loooong moment and smiled in the end. "On only one condition," he said, "you won't show these pictures to the younger generation until they graduate too. I want them to come up with their own courage to carry out their own pranks." Fair enough, right?
Y'know, now that he was awkwardly just sitting down and observing everything, it wasn't nearly as uncomfortable. Only kidding. It was almost even worse this way. He didn't want to sit around and be quiet. But he also didn't want to sit around and have a chat. It was strange .This whole thing was strange. But he was truly curious as to what Sophie would have to say for her reasoning. Why DID she bring the poor guy here, huh?
So he turned his gaze over to her to give her a 'yeah why' sort of look. She never really gave him a proper answer anyways. Soooo... What was she gonna make up this time, huuuuuh?

Well DUH it was her idea. Soph grinned sideways over at Zander when he said that, thinking he was funny, then started to smirk when Culloden began to confirm what she'd just said--
Until he went and RUINED IT, and her mouth DROPPED.
"Woooooooow," she crossed her arms, playfully unimpressed. "You literally just said I'm the best, then you go and CRUSH MY HOPES AND DREAMS. You're a dream-crusher, professor. The worst. Broke my heart." She reached over to take Zander's hand, wanting to hold it as she went to stand up with him. "C'mon, Zanderpander. We don't need to take this bullying from him."
