The area outside of Professor Myers' office is quite warm, comfy, and welcoming. Knock on his door, have a seat, and wait for him to let you inside. You might indulge in the different Herbology magazines he keeps scattered around the place, or admire his eccentric taste in furniture as you wait.
Everything smells nice, fresh, and natural. Professor Myers will let you in as soon as he can.
OOC: Please post your character in here FIRST. Have your character knock on the door and wait for Professor Myers to tell you to come in. <3
This didn't seem like a child being overdramatic--and yes, Brady was a bit overdramatic sometimes--but Brady seemed genuinely distraught right now. Very very distraught.
"She...is driving you....m'boy...." he spoke in a soothing tone. "The hag is gone...she went into the forest and we've not found her..." had the hag come BACK? Paul was hoping NO because that was a whole other can of WORMS that could go awry this term! "How is she driving you insane?"

"YOU PEOPLE HAVEN'T FOUND HER YET?!!!"
Bradson had thought that the Ministry of Magic had found the hag but they hadn't? "Nooooo, no, no!" Now his freaking out went up a few notches. The first year began to breathe heavily. "Oh my god!" Why did the world had him right now?
"I haven't been able to sleep a full night since she COOKED me!"

Paul raised an eyebrow. "No, we haven't. But she has not come back into the grounds since she left. So..." he made a slight face at Brady. Was...he okay? Like..seriously, did he need to get checked out?
"M'boy...she didn't succeed in COOKING you but..." maybe he needed some therapy...Merlin...that would have messed a young Paul up as well! He looked worried. He wasn't qualified to be a good therapist to the boy...maybe he'd contact his parents?
"All right...all right. Well. Let's take a seat in one of my chairs--" he gestured. "They aren't charmed or anything...perfectly safe," as he had been asked many times before.

"YOU HAVEN'T!" He yelled out again, he didn't mean to yell but he was freaking out, the first year was looking all around to make sure the hag wasn't near him. "This crazy lady is taking over my life. I can't eat, I drink, I can't sleep!" Brady took in a long breath and let it out slowly, he was trying to calm himself down and he just couldn't do that. "Just because she hasn't come back doesn't mean that she isn't around. She could be walking around this castle at any moment now and try to kill me!" He didn't want to be killed, he was too young to be killed.
"Yeah well she succeeded in biting my ear and burning me." How could they hire that woman? "Who even hired the hag? I WANT TO SPEAK TO THAT PERSON!" The staff was nuts here! He was pretty sure that Professor Paul and Professor Primeaux were the only sane professors at this school.
"I don't want to sit!" Brady said stomping his foot on the floor.

"Listen, Brady..we have enchantments up to protect her from getting back in, okay? She can't...come in here and hurt people or scare people anymore. You are completely safe..." he didn't know how else to explain it to the boy.
Um.
About the hiring...
"Well, we're still trying to figure all that out..." he said softly. A ripple of discomfort broke through him, though, and he just crinkled his nose slightly. "Then DON'T sit but please relax..." he glanced at the door to his office. "I can make us some tea...we can talk it out...it's all...going to be okay. You can pet my dog." It was a major stress reliever.

"I am NOT trusting magic this time! Someone let her be a professor and put ME AND OTHERS IN THE WAY OF DANGER!" He was starting to think that one of the professors wanted the student body dead.
Ugh. This day. This week. This month and this year was just out to kill him.
"Well I need to be informed or you all can talk to my grandmother and that won't be really pretty." Brady was sure that his grandmother would start another world war and he knew that it wasn't going to be pretty when she finds out more about this hag. The first year badger began to pace around the room again, his blue-green eyes glanced back over to Professor Paul when he was mentioned a dog. "You can have dogs at Hogwarts?"

Poor Brady. "M'boy...we have it all taken care of." Maybe not as much as they would have liked....but you know. He had to appear calm in front of young Brady.
His grandmother...hmm. "Informed when? When the hag stuff is figured out?" he asked, because he wasn't sure what else Brady would need to be informed about...
But he smiled. "Well..I am...I'm a professor..so I can have a dog. He is able to stay in my office and whatnot." Because mostly...dogs would be terribly hard to keep in the dorms, right?

Following after him, Esme kept letting her eyes wander over to the tables on the ceiling. At least no one would get into trouble for this because Professor Myers was smart enough to know that no student was capable of something of this level. Well, maybe some of the really advanced ones but that was besides the point.
The Hag threatened to curse her twin sister? That was horrible. Carl nodded at the older girl, trying to reassure her that everything would be okay, which was obviously not true. The study tables seemed to be the first step of something even worse. At least the twin was not actually cursed, right?
He stayed silent on the way to Professor Myers's office. Except when he tripped over a tree root at the Grounds. Other than that, he was silent, which was something because he was usually annoyingly talkative. The Hufflepuff quickly found the seating area with the weirdly cool furniture. After a glance at the girl, he knocked on the door and waited.
Maybe they should have brought some evidence from the Common Room. But ... what?

He heard the knock on the door and when he opened it and saw Esme and Carl looking FRIGHTENED as all holy HECK, he quickly said, "What's wrong? is everything okay? is someone hurt?!" because that's the last thing he needed right now. His stress levels were so high lately! "You two look like you've...encountered a ghost or something. Not that that's scary---we're used to ghost here at Hogwarts--but Merlin, you know what I mean!" He couldn't think of another saying right now!

If Esme was so sure that Professor Myers wouldn't blame them for what had happened in the common room, why was she feeling stressed? Glancing around the waiting area, she tried to shake sense into herself. It was all the Hag's fault for making her paranoid. There was no way it could be anyone else though she supposed that Peeves was a pretty strong contender...
And there he was. Clearly rather stressed and high-strung. Nothing she could fault him with because it seemed that every one's stress levels were running high lately. "Well... the desks and chairs of the Hufflepuff study area are attached to the ceiling and we aren't sure who did it." Despite her feelings, Esme knew that there wasn't enough evidence to claim without a doubt that it had been the Hag.
As it was she was trying to stay cool and collected.

Fortunately, they did not have to wait long. Carl forced a smile onto his face as Professor Myers opened the door. He seemed stressed out, which came as a surprise to the First Year. He had always thought of his Head of House as a carefree sort of person. Though to be honest, recent events were enough to make even the most optimistic guy worried.
He stayed silent as Esme explained the situation, noticing that she did not mention their theory about the Hag. "And nobody is hurt, Professor." He added. If the older girl thought they should not make any accusations, she was probably right.
Paul's eyes grew to the size of DINNER PLATES practically, and he simply stared at the two...okay. Merlin. SO many weird things going on! He didn't like it, not one BIT.
"Okay...and...they're just...stuck there?" he didn't see WHY a student would do that...or HOW? Seemed a bit intense for just a small prank...hmm. "Uh...well..." he shuffled into his office to grab his wand. "Let us...go see then...I'm glad no one is hurt but Merlin! Is it just me or..." he squinted down at his two Hufflepuffs. "But are...funny things happening this term?"

Professor Myer's expression mirrored exactly how Esme felt on the inside.
He also knew that none of the Hufflepuffs had taken part in the prank. Beyond the fact that they were not the biggest jokesters by nature, there was the fact that this magic was beyond the skill level of most students. Must be difficult to manage levitating furniture to a ceiling and making it stick. Or at least it seemed that way to her. It was a little hard for Esme to know since she was only a Third Year and such things were beyond her skill level.
Nodding at what the Professor said, she was glad that she wasn't the only one that had noticed all of the weird pranks that kept happening. And then there was the doll who had vanished as suddenly as it had appeared... Where had it gone? Was it connected to the Hag and taken off with her when she headed off into the forest? Of course she had a feeling that the old bat hadn't stayed in the woods and had headed back to Hogwarts in secret. She wouldn't have put it past her and it WAS interesting to note that all this stuff happened after she had arrived at Hogwarts.
Seemed to be too much of a coincidence to her.
With a shake of her head, Esme followed after him and towards the common room.

Carl might have grinned at Professor Myers' expression, if the situation was not this serious. He nodded, yes the tables were just stuck there. Some more waiting happened as the Professor went into his office to get his wand. This was becoming even more scary ... was he going to perform complex magic and solve the problem? "It's not just you, sir." He was glad that the staff was also aware of the strange things happening.
Gripping the wand in his pocket, he followed the two back to the scene. He was going to keep an eye out for anything strange on the ceiling on the way.
Summer vacation was just around the corner and yes Hugo was EXCITED to go back home and go out without thinking about OWLs, homework or school in general.
But right now he was paying another visit to one of his favorite professors, to not say his favorite professor. Ahem. The Slytherin knocked on the door and sat down, he was already used to the extravagant furniture. He expected Myers' dog to be outside but apparently not, so he grabbed a magazine and waited.
He need a deep conversation with Myers or at least a few words of encouragement.
