The Waiting Area Outside of Professor Ichihara's Office
If you are eager to see Professor Ichihara, whether you might have a question about Transfiguration, want to discuss the finer points of baseball, have a small gift to bestow on the Professor (she would really rather you didn't) or are simply a colleague eager for a chat, it is highly suggested and encouraged that you take a seat and wait in one of the white, comfy chairs provided. If you attempt to wander into the magically locked office unannounced you'll not only be unsuccessful, but you'll also be stuck with lobster claws for hands which will not be fun.
Knock First.
Professor Ichihara will see to you when she can and no sooner. Reading material is provided (copies of Transfiguration Now, Witch Weekly, and the Daily Prophet are all there), along with some little goldpuzzlers to occupy your mind as you sit.
OOC:Please post your character knocking here first, when the Professor is ready and prepared to let you in I will post here letting you know and then you can mosey on down to the office. You're more than welcome to RP with peeps here, but please try to keep it to a minimum. Thanks!
.... Haddie was such a different creature now. Nana could see the difference quite clearly, the energy was there, but it was subdued now, likely because of her own presence, but it was a welcome change and Nana Ichihara was just a tiny bit impressed. a tiny bit. "It was a pleasure to loan them to you, miss Denaker." she replied, taking the books and glancing over their care-worn appearance. She watched the young girl, dark eyes widening just a little as silence fell for much longer than she expected, still, she said nothing, simply waited patiently for the young girl to hopefully express what she seemed to be having trouble with.
She considered miss Denaker for a moment before offering the books back to her. "Take them, keep them. I think they would have a warmer home with you." She simply said. "Consider it part of your summer reading." She would be getting a new set for next term anyway, and this was just as good as donating them. Completely within her professional bounds.
"I will be returning next term, Miss Denaker," Was that the Ravenclaw's worry? Nana assumed so, but something about Miss Denaker's... not her words, but her actions was leading her to believe otherwise. "I expect you in my class next term, miss Denaker. It would be much too quiet without you." She said, a lightly amused smile slipping across her face.
Yes, she had made a joke. No, the world was not ending.
It took her a second to realize what was happening, and take the books. And another second to break out of her stunned silence. "Really?" It was a dumb question. Professor Ichihara wasn't the sort to do things willy-nilly, so if she was giving her the books, it meant she was, indeed, sure of it. It still was a completely unexpected surprise. "Um, thank you! Thank you so much!" You can be sure she was going to read them plenty over the summer. The books might have been loaned to Haddie in attempt to illustrate the not-so-glamorous reality, and in doing so, possibly dissuade her. It did illustrate the reality, but that hadn't made her any less enthralled by it.
Haddie was still staring at the books, excited and still a bit stunned, when the Transfiguration Professor assured her she would be returning and that she expected to see her in class next term. The joke pulled Haddie's attention away from her new books and... wait, was the girl blushing? Yes, she was. Clear as day, a rosy tint crept into her cheeks and deepened. She tried to hold back her smile long enough to reply. "I've been told I have a big mouth," she agreed. Most recently by Rachel. Hadley nodded. "I hope I'm in your class next term too." There was that word again, hope. As if it wasn't certain. Mainly because it wasn't certain. In fact her father was adamant that she wouldn't, and Haddie only had the summer to convince him otherwise. "Thanks again, Professor." She should probably get back to studying, but if she was in any hurry to do so, it didn't show. To be honest, she was happy for the small break, and wasn't in that much of a hurry to see it end.

.......
Nana laughed, watery and awkwardly, but she laughed. "I... That would be very kind, but it is unnecessary, thank you." She cleared her throat once again. "I had best be going, I have.. Very much to do and very little time, but I thank you again, Mis Griengoth." It was the offer that did it, made her pull herself together and see how silly she was being.
Ariadne took a moment of silence to allow the professor time to collect herself. It felt odd having a professor get so emotional right in front of her. Especially over a journal. Maybe it was sentimental for some reason. That would make a whole lot of sense.
Nodding Ariadne said, "Okay, well, I just thought I'd offer." She should get going, too. There was only so long one could just stand out in the middle of the corridor making small talk. "I should get going, too. You're welcome about the journal. Hope you have a super awesome day!"
She gave the professor a small smile then turned on her heels to leave.
