Aside from the furniture, very little remains in the Astronomy office to indicate that Professor Edward Forrester once occupied it. In a box to one side, the last of his things had been carefully stacked. A few photographs peeking out of the box along with astronomical things that Ethan Truebridge had no time for, even if he was loathe to simply dispose of them

He had, upon being ousted from his own office on the first floor, arranged several of his personal items around the room.

Pictures of Ethan in his days as a student at WADA (if you look closely at the one on the left, you might recognize another Hogwarts staff member shuffling a pack of cards and doing one of those hit-with-the-ladies grins that former rockstars are quite good at) , one of him as a thirteen year old in Slytherin robes (And that younger Gryffindor boy with him just happens to be the bartender at the Leaky Cauldron), a selection of him a few years ago with various dragons in the background, one featuring dragons (and a certain fiery red headed professor), one of him on a muggle sailing ship, another on stage dressed in tights and holding a skull and one of him in Egypt working with curse breakers and from this summer, a picture of Anastasia Bunbury, one of himself and Copernicus Kettleburn in Egypt and one of himself with Jake Upstead after taking the young Hufflepuff rock climbing.

An old looking gramophone sits on the desk with a selection of records stacked haphazardly to one side, various eras of music are represented; of both the wizarding and the muggle variety. On the walls his OWL and NEWT results are proudly displayed alongside certificates proclaiming his knowledge and familiarity with various Dragon breeds.

A large basket sits in one corner, and a slight snoring sound can often be heard coming from this direction where Ethan’s chihuahua makes its bed... usually anyway.

Where IS the chihuahua?!


On the bright side, at least it was no longer a completely odd thing to see History of Magic practically relocated to the Astronomy tower.

And the view was nice.
