Hogwarts RPG Name: Saroja | Professor Fox watched her get ready to go. Ignoring her first question, he seemed to consider her second question before answering it. "Well, I suppose it's a fair enough question. I wouldn't use the term my 'calling in life'. However, I thought the opportunity to pass on my knowledge about Arithmancy to a new generation of students simply seemed natural after a long career in the area." He returned to his work, "I will see you in class Ms. Arbon." |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Raymond Luxury-Yacht (but it's pronounced Throatwobbler Mangrove) | Nodding at the professor's response, Erica took that as the cue to leave. She slipped out of the office quietly and organized everything that she had to do in her head. So much to do and so little time, she thought as she headed off to her Common Room to get started on the load of homework she had acquired so far. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Ganymede Craft Slytherin Fifth Year | :: Ganymede fixed her bag on her shoulder and took a deep breath. She knocked three times softly and quickly put a sweet smile on her face. Then, she smoothed out her robes one last time. She touched her dove pin and whispered something. The mirrored eye shimmered a few moments and then was normal again. Respect, grace, respect, grace. Think of Slytherin.. She thought to herself nervously. She then muttered the number 8 eight times. Eight is the number for success. She waited to be allowed inside. ::

Hogwarts RPG Name: Saroja | Professor Fox looked up from his desk and quietly said, "Yes, come in." The door opened quietly and he continued his work waiting for the girl to step inside. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Ganymede Craft Slytherin Fifth Year | :: Ganymede strolled steadily inside his office. "Pardon my intrusion Sir. But I was very interested in the last lesson on Prime Numbers and their qualities. I believe next lesson is for the numbers 0 and 1." She said nearing the point of her visit. "I personally wish to pursue a career in Divination some day. I was wonder, Sir, if you had any books I may borrow to help advance my understanding of Arithmancy. Of course you know that Arithmancy and Divination are relatives." She kept herself calm and relaxed, even though she wasn't very sure how this new Professor would react. She truly wished to become something great. ::

Hogwarts RPG Name: Saroja | Professor Fox did not look very impressed. He sighed and stood up, approaching his book case. "If... Ms. Craft, divination is truly the area you wish to pursue, then I will only warn you that it is often a very competitive field. You would be best complementing yourself with the areas of Arithmancy, Ancient Runes, and Astronomy as well." He pulled out various books, examining them, then setting them back in the bookcase. "Personally, I would suggest the I Ching as a basic starting point. I would hardly call it Divination per se. But it may be what you are looking for." He pulled out a large book and handed it to Ganymede before sitting down. "Now, in this class we will be practicing a form of arithmetic divination where we predict the occurence of other numbers and the properties of those numbers. It is what many call 'pure' or 'contemporary' Arithmancy and is much more useful for jobs in curse breaking and ancient magic decryption." He sighed and leaned back in his chair, looking suddenly tired. "I hope I answered our questions Ms. Craft, I will see you in class." |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Ganymede Craft Slytherin Fifth Year | :: Ganymede nodded and took the large book in her hands. She went to put it in her bag, but her bag slid off her shoulder and onto the floor. "Oh, Pardon me!" She said before quickly crouching down. She took something very small out, then using the same hand, placed it on the underside of the desk. She placed her bag back onto her shoulder and stood up. "This looks like a wonderful book. Maybe I will change my career to Arithmancy? Thank you very much for your help Sir." She smiled and held the book under her arm. "Yes, See you in class Sir." She nodded a goodbye before nonchalantly walking out. ::

Hogwarts RPG Name: Saroja | Professor Fox stared at the papers before him. Sighing, he leaned back in his chair only to be interrupted by a voice coming from his desk. Opening his desk drawer, he sighed, hearing a familiarly gruff voice saying, "Lesley, how are things coming on your end? Are you getting anywhere?" He sighed, and responded, "Yes Milagor, I've been working on it since I got here. I'm not making much progress though, it's nearly impossible to get any information out of them." He briefly checked the nearby clock before continuing. "Look Milagor, I have to go soon. I've been working on it, but I just don't think anything's there. If there were, I would have discovered it by now." He sighed, and opened the drawer again. "I will talk to you later once I've actually found something," he said, putting the mirror in his desk. He then stood up and went back to his blackboard. |

| Double Agent Stamps! Terry walks down the hall when she notices Ganymede walking out of Professor Fox's office carrying a large book. It reminds Terry of the books the professor had given her to transcribe in detention. She also remembers Ganymede acting rather strangely in the halls earlier which makes Terry wonder if there had been a problem in Professor Fox's office, and he had assigned the girl some kind of punishment. Terry knocks on the professor's door and calls out to him. "Professor, is everything alright? Are you talking to me?" If you are not in my office, consider the key-hole-less door closed.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Saroja | Professor Fox turned his head from his blackboard to look to the door. Recognizing the voice he gave a small inward sigh. "Yes Ms. Weasley please come in," he said as the door silently opened.

| Double Agent Stamps! Terry could tell from his tone Professor Fox is not happy she knocked on his door. Why did she care if the professor is alright or not? He had already given her detention and would probably give it to her again before this meeting is over with. Terry walks into the office and looks around. Everything looks normal for a teacher's office. No one is hiding in the shadows. She swears she heard voices coming from this office: Professor Fox's soft monotone and another voice gruff almost nasally. He could have left using the fireplace, but the room would have been illuminated bright green. Terry takes a seat in front of the desk. The desk looks ordinary too except for that strange object on the underside. It definitely doesn't look like it belongs there. Terry starts to remove it when Professor Fox sits down. "I'm sorry I bothered you, professor. I just wanted to make sure you were alright..." Before Terry can finish her thought, there is a knock at the door. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Saroja | Professor Fox gave Terry a strange look, before being interrupted by another knock, he looked up. "I will be with you in a few moments," he said in response to the knock.
He turned his attention back to Terry. "Ms. Weasley, you were saying you wanted to make sure I was alright?" He gave her a skeptical and somewhat confused look, "Why would I not be alright?" |

| Double Agent Stamps! Terry didn't know what she had done to make Professor Fox hate her so much, but it must have been something big. Nothing she does is ever right with this man. "I'm sorry I bothered you, professor. Clearly I am acting like an overly emotional child hardly the behavior you would expect from a seventh year student." Terry starts to get up when that thing under the desk catches her eye again. What is that silly thing and why would Ganymede leave it there? "Ganymede was acting strangely in the hall earlier. She was walking along minding her own business when she suddenly shouted she needed to learn more about Arithmancy. All the Slytherin have all been acting strange this term. The whole lot seem obsessed with the Book of Mysteria and conspiracy theories. I got this silly idea she might do something to harm you. Like I said I over reacted too. I'm sorry I bothered you. May I be excused now?" Terry picks up her bag and heads for the door. She's in no mood for the lecture and detention that is sure to follow, but she has no choice in the matter. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Saroja | Professor Fox's look of confusion seemed to increase tenfold. Not certain which question to ask Terry first, he thought for a moment as a smile grew on his face. Not being able to help himself, he began chuckling out loud. After a moment, he regained his composure and nodded politely as Terry stood to leave. "I see Ms. Weasley, well... Thank you for your concern, I will see in class." He spoke, with small quiet chuckles interspersed as he talked. |

| Double Agent Stamps! Terry stands and stares at Professor Fox laughing at her now. She guess that was better than being called cheeky again. It didn't make her feel any better or any less curious as to what that thing was under his desk. Terry figured she was excused now and didn't particularly want to risk the professor changing his mind. She was also curious as to who he was talking to and how that person had managed to leave the room so quickly, but now was not the time to play twenty questions. Professor Fox and Ganymede have sparked her curiosity, and Terry has plenty of time to work on finding the answers. "I'll see you in class, then Professor. Good night." Terry leaves the office glad to be out of there. There is definitely something about Professor Fox that brings the worse out in her. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Raymond Luxury-Yacht (but it's pronounced Throatwobbler Mangrove) | Clutching Professor Fox's note in her hand, Erica approached the office door and saw another student, a Gryffindor, already waiting to speak with the professor. Sighing, she motioned for the young girl to go first while she made herself comfortable. She pulled out her text and homework for CoMC and began studying until Professor Fox would be free to talk. |

Taylie walks into the professors office. "Well, first I would like to apoligize for turning in my homework late, I've been having trouble remembering dates", she said blushing. " I am here to see if I can take you up on the offer of extra credit work to make up house points, Please."

Hogwarts RPG Name: Saroja | Professor Fox studied the girl for a moment, then nodded politely. "Yes Ms. Green, I have just the project in mind." He opened up a desk drawer and pulled out a series of papers. "I would like you to research the number 42, and write at least 10 sentences on its interesting ocurrences within muggle culture." He wrote this down and handed a piece of paper to her. "This will be due at any time Ms. Green." Having said that he nodded politely to her, "Please tell whomever else is waiting outside they may come in." |

Drusilla was unsure whether this was wise, but she had to know. Arithmancy had always been her strongest subject, and now she was getting only 11/15 ...
She knocks on the door, but is not sure whether she wants to get in and ask about the matter. Then she remembers the scent of books from her first visit there. Should I, she thought, when a student came out of the Office.
She wasn´t sure she would get used to this careless way the homeworks were treated here. It was alright, as long as you got full points, but if you get less ... Back in Durmstrang they had always got the corrected versions back ...

Hogwarts RPG Name: Raymond Luxury-Yacht (but it's pronounced Throatwobbler Mangrove) | Drusilla! *glomps since the GoF is closed* hehe Erica was still intently studying her textbook when she noticed out of the corner of her eye another student approach the office door. She noticed the Slytherin had a sense of hesitancy about her, like she wasn't sure if she wanted to be here at all. Snapping her book shut, Erica stood from the hallway floor and approached the student who was now waiting next to the door.
"Excuse me. Are you here to see Professor Fox as well? I didn't realize how popular Arithmancy was around here. Everyone I know treats it as a secondary subject." |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Charmelia Snape aka Zaza | Erica! *hugs* What is "glomp" btw?
Drusilla hadn´t noticed the Hufflepuff, who was also waiting to see Professor Fox, and instinctually had a quick glance around before even looking at the girl. No Professor McAiken, as far as she could tell, but you cannot be too careful these days. So, her face remained quite expressionless, as she answered: "Yes, no, I think so." Her talking sounded at first like she had been crying all night and lost her voice, and she really wasn´t sure whether she wanted to meet the Professor. "Well, I have always gotten top points in Arithmancy, and am now wondering why I got so ... err, little points," she adds more clearly, wondering why she was telling such things to a Hufflepuff student. "There has to be a mistake, really," she adds awkwardly.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Raymond Luxury-Yacht (but it's pronounced Throatwobbler Mangrove) | Glomping is....happy huggles! Look at the smilies. *points* Erica listened intently, nodding along as the Slytherin student went on explaining her past success in the subject and recent change. This girl gave off a slight attitude on the subject of her knowledge in Arithmancy which led Erica to raise her eyebrows for a moment before smiling reassuringly in some form of agreement.
All signs pointed to Fox once again messing up the order that was present in Hogwarts before he arrived. But no matter how much she still despised the professor, his remarks on how well suited she was toward the study of Arithmancy secretly boosted her pride. And because of this, Erica took careful mental notes on this girl, wondering if she would often be competing with her over house points in class.
"Well, I don't know. You may have a point, since he's covering a different portion of Arithmancy than Professor Bree had. Then again, perhaps you should be thankful of what you've got. I'm here because I turned in my homework late. I need to make up that assignment."
Erica let out a small sigh and could feel her face flush bright red from the embarassment of her lateness. Never again, she thought to herself. Never again will I procrastinate on homework. Never! |

Gayle Night | "Thank you", Taylie replies. As she leaves the office she notices two students talking in the corridor. " Sorry for interuppting" she said, "but Professor Fox is ready to see the next student".
Taylie then walks off pondering the number 42.
