Default The Staff Table

The school staff is seated on a dias high overlooking the Great Hall. You may approach them for conversation, but they probably deserve a peaceful meal as much as anyone else.

Professor Duskurk strode purposefully into the great hall. He avoided the place as much as possible, but a wizard had to eat. He headed up to the staff table without pausing and sat down, unfolding a napkin and placing it in his lap before pouring himself a glass of water.

Default Another glass of water...Eeeh??
<.< >,> v.v ^,^!

Ivory stepped into the Great Hall taking deep 'just-got-out-of-bed' breaths.
Mind you that these are not to be mistaken with 'Morning breaths' because of course those reek of halitosis...No these were 'morning-but-brushed-by-teeth' breaths.

Much better liked ones.

Making her way to the Ravenclaw table, she reached her hand into her robes and withdrew her phial of Camaraderie Concoction. Smiling brightly she uncorked it and brought it up to her nose to sniff it a bit. Gosh, it even smelled sunny.

Hoping that meant it was top notch, she reached for the pitcher of water on the nearby Staff table and poured some into a glass. Then looking around covertly she quickly poured the contents of the phial in as well. Every last drop.

Grabbing a nearby spoon, she mixed it vigorously until the water looked like regular innocent water. Snickering evilly to herself, she held the glass protectively against her. She already had a certain cute Ravenclaw boy in mind who she'd love to have as a friend.

Walking between the tables, her large brown eyes roving around for the boy they came across Professor Duskurk sitting not too far off.

Immediately her mission was forgotten as she remembered the earlier class period with him, where she'd been stunned and confounded till no end.

Blushing with embarrassment, as her steps took her closer to him she vowed to make a better first impression. When? Well now was a good time as any.

With sweaty palms she finally came face to face with the man, and felt herself gulping for air. Was it hot in here or was it just her?

Licking her lips, she put her glass down and wiped her hands on her robes.

"Good morning, Professor," her mind quite literally went blank. What now?

You look more sinister than usual today? Your robes look extra black? Turn that frown upside down? Don't worry be happy?

Shaking her head her eyes wide with disbelief at even thinking she'd be able to talk to this man in a social setting, she grabbed the first glass her hand came in contact with. Unfortunately for both of them it wasn't the right one.

Nodding her head and closing her mouth before she said something like 'Don't worry be happy' she turned heel and almost ran back to her house table.

"Good morning, Miss..." and she was gone. Professor Duskurk blinked and watch the student rush back to her table. He shook his head and took a drink. Hmm... the water tasted a bit different. It was good. Perhaps they were filtering it differently. He finished the rest and then got up to follow the student. "Miss!" he called after her.

Ivory had very reluctantly returned to the staff table after hearing her name called out.

For a second she had thought she was home free...but alas it was not to be. At least she didn't have to worry about her homework since she'd just seen Allison drinking a glass of water and then acting mighty friendly even for her. That's what the Camaraderie Concoction did right? So it had to have been her. Now she'd just have to watch the girl carefully and make sure to note any more very friendly strange behavior.

Maybe he would lecture her on the fine points of etiquette and how one simply did not say 'good morning,' leave their mouth gaping like a fish out of water for a full minute, and then just scurry away.
Or maybe he would challenge her to a duel right in the middle of the great hall just to show how it really felt to be stupefied for longer than a few minutes.
He might even be preparing to give her a pop quiz on dueling techniques. Her stomach roiled at that one.

For some reason it seemed the DADA Professor was adamant about speaking with her, and of course his being a Professor resulted in her being unable to pretend he hadn't said a word. Well of course she could but odds were she'd be turned into some inside out unidentifiable mass that had to be scraped off the walls...with a toothbrush.

Practically dragging her feet she brought herself to a respectable distance away from him. There was no need to invade his personal space after all or get withing choking grasp.

Not knowing whether to make eye contact and or not (Who knew if he had gorgon like powers and she would die just from that alone), she decided to respectfully only look him in the eye once.

Clearing her throat a bit, for it seemed unnaturally unready for speaking, she answered in a slightly breathless voice.

"Yes, Professor?"

"Ten points to Ravenclaw and don't worry about that homework assignment," Professor Duskurk winked. Did he just... WINK? Well, now he blinked, confused at his own uncharacteristic facial contortion.

Default So sorry for the long time between replies...studying for an exam
<.< >,> v.v ^,^!

Ivory felt her jaw drop almost all the way down to the floor.

Points?!

No Homework?!

In DADA?!

And this man had winked?!

Wait maybe he just had a twitch in his eyelid...no it seemed he winked.

Inadvertently, her head turned this way and that to see if there was anyone else he could possibly be talking to.

Hmm no one seemed to be there maybe she'd just missed them.

She waited a few awkward seconds just in case he was going to all of a sudden yell 'Fooled You!' and run screaming in evil laughter around the great hall, and then decided there was no point to look a gift horse in the mouth or well in the eye...not that he was a horse...or bearing a gift....well...anyway-

"Wow really Professor?! Thanks!!" she exclaimed excitedly.

Wait....maybe he needed something...like someone to organize his office, scrub the dueling arena, or be a guinea pig for experimental dark spells.

Either way he seemed to have just given her points and probably expected something in return...

"Do you...uuhh...need any help with anything Professor?"

"No, but I would like to extend my services to you. If you have any need for help with your homework, please do not hesitate to call upon me for assistance. And have a very nice," Professor Duskurk smiled his very rare smile. He couldn't help himself. He seemed strangely friendly toward this girl. Strangely... He frowned, recognizing the symptoms of having been cursed and then he cursed, glancing back at his drink. He was angry now, but not at the girl.

Ivory looked at the man for a stunned moment. He? Help her?

Have a very nice what? Somehow have a very nice *expletive inserted here* did not seem like what one would normally tell people and especially with the word nice at the beginning.

Not knowing whether to pretend her young ears had heard no such thing or to acknowledge what he said she merely replied, "Thanks Professor I'll be sure to keep that in mind," deciding she lost nothing from asking she continued. "Maybe if you're not to busy at some point you can teach me the finer points of dueling...?"
Almost unconsciously that last part trailed off as if knowing his mind was elsewhere. "and have a nice...," A small moment of panic what to say what to say...."uuhh...nice...one too."

About to turn and run headtail back to her house table, she saw the Professor glare suspiciously at his empty glass on the table.

That was weird. Why would anyone glare at an empty glass?
Did he need a refill?

Maybe she should get it for him...what had he been drinking again?

She tried to remember, lets see she'd come to the table wiped her hands on her robes 'cause she'd been nervous and....

Her eyes went wide and she had to stifle a small gasp.

...she had put HER GLASS DOWN ON THE TABLE!

He stalked over to the table, barely hearing the girl's stammered remarks. He picked up the glass and sniffed. "I believe my water has been tampered with," he said and gestured the girl over. This was a good learning opportunity for his new young friend. "You must be on your guard against such attacks for they can be as deadly as a duel."

Ohno-ohno-ohno-ohno-ohno....a litany of 'ohnos' filled her mind.

Not knowing whether to confess...but scared to death to do so, she did the first thing that came to mind. She stalled.

"Tampered with, you say sir?" Unconsciously, she brought her hand to touch her face nervously as he cautioned her to on her guard. Although how one could be on their guard against themselves, she did not know.

Nodding along with him as she rubbed her chin, she continued, "How, how would one know when their glass of water was attacked, that is to say I mean, when-when they were attacked in such manner?"

"Are there any tell-tale lies," she corrected herself in the same breath,"Sorry, signs! that one should look for?"

He turned and studied the girl for a moment. The thought never crossed his mind that she was the one responsible, though clearly his actions proved that she was the target of such a spell. He KNEW he shouldn't be feeling friendly toward the girl and couldn't help being so. What use was being able to toss off the imperius curse when a simple potion that induces feeling of friendship was enough to send him to his knees? Professor Duskurk was thoroughly annoyed, but all he could do was see the girl's nervous gestures and offer, "Perhaps I should escort you to the healer. You don't look well."

He paused and held up a hand. "Just a moment." He sent a patronus which looked suspiciously like an armadillo (because it was) off to Kazimeriz to request his aid in this mystery.

Look well? Her? Well of course not she was sweating bullets!

"Oh no sir. I feel fine just nervous about going to the dueling arena later...no healer necessary."

She had just been about to turn around and leave when he held up his hand.

Her foot which had risen in the air just a few inches reluctantly touched the floor again.

Her body frozen she watched as he conjured a vapory shape that scuttled off.

Was that ... an armadillo?? Recognizing it as a patronus, she experienced a moment's panic.

Who was it sent to retrieve? What if it was the headmaster? or Professor Kazimeriz?

Assuming he had drank her water glass (that is if he didn't have other enemies that had reason to poison his water) then had she inadvertently poisoned a professor?...with a sunshine yellow concoction of all things....
And so she feared for the worst.

Professor Kazimeriz ambled into the great hall as though it were a sunny afternoon stroll. He approached the dais and his liver-colored wrinkled lips stretched into a grin.

"Well,well, my Professor Duskirk. Thomas. How very nice to see you-- it has been too long. I received your message, of course." He leaned casually against his cane with no sense of urgency whatsoever, smiling warmly.

"What seems to be your... issue today?"

<.< >,> v.v ^,^!

Ivory watched in open mouthed horror as none other than Professor Kazimeriz walked right up to the staff table and joined them.

The truth was literally scratching at her throat but what could she say...

'Hello Professor Kazimeriz you're looking quite dashing today. It's nice weather and I gave the Professor my Camaraderie Concoction by mistake and he thinks someone is out to get him, but never mind that how was your day?'

Hmm maybe....

'Well you see sir the Professor here is experiencing a profound sense of friendship towards me because I might've sort of accidentally given him my water with was tainted with my Camaraderie Concoction.'

Nah...

'It was an accident. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry...please don't kill me!'

Well, she'd save that for when things got worse.Trying to think of the bright side, it was kind of cool to be on good terms with Professor Duskurk...maybe some good would come from this...but for now-

For now she settled for, "Why hello Professor Kazimeriz, fancy seeing you here.."

Immediately she wanted to slap herself on the forehead, 'fancy seeing you here,' really? That was the best she could do? What was this? A muggle tea party? Gah, curse muddled thinking. They were in the Great Hall for merlin's sake....there was nothing abnormal for the professors to be AT THEIR OWN STAFF TABLE!...if anything her being here was abnormal.

...on this side of the staff table" There that sounded better...didn't it?

"Professor Duskurk here was just explaining to me the importance of being on your guard against attacks on your- umm your beverages."

Inadvertently pointing to herself randomly through her whole sentence, she tried to convey through her eyes exactly what had happened, hoping nay praying to the any god who was listening that Kazimeriz would somehow read her mind...and know she hadn't done it on purpose at least not intentionally. And that maybe he would at least serve as a witness to her death rather then an accomplice.
