Default The Staff Room

As you wander down the Hallways you notice a new door along the Eastern wall. Was it there last term? Quite possibly....as you approach the door you see a notice attached which reads:

Attention All Students!

This is the Staff Room. Under no circumstance should a student pass through this door. Any student caught on the other side will be sent to detention immediately, no questions asked! Continous violations could result in suspention!


Being a curious student you try the door knob....locked! Well, better not try again or risk detention....

Seren swept through the front doors of the ground floor and into the main foyer, spotting the all too familiar staff room she made her way over, her arms ladden with a couple of particularly heavy, leather bound books.

Once she had made her way into the staff room she placed the books on one of the tables as gently as she could- though they still landed with a deep thud. Scurrying over to the kitchen area, Seren put on a pot of tea. There was something soothing about making tea as opposed to having someone else make it for you, or magicking it from thin air. Soon she could smell the sweet aroma of a nice spiced chai tea.
Returning to the table she set down the pot and took her seat. With a quick wave of her wand a tea cup and saucer appeared before her. It was time to relax... even if it was just for a little while.

"Some people think that sitting around by yourself makes you antisocial," Tate spotted one of his new professors enjoying a cup of tea and some solitude. He was loathe to break her peace and quiet.

"I happen to think those people never worked at a boarding school. There's no such thing as alone time when the kids never leave."

Gemma walked into the room that she had always wondered about as a student at Hogwarts way back when. This was one of those rooms that you always imagined in your head was just immaculate and full of amazing surprises for the staff to hide away in.

As she entered the room and glanced around, she had to admit that it wasn't what she had imagined...well she wasn't really sure what she really thought was in here, but she had to admit that is was kind of boring compared to what her childhood mind had created it to be.

She smiled at the Headmaster and the other staff member in the room and went over to sit down with them. She smiled at them both and then said "Well, I guess we've made it this far....just a few more months to go." she said with a little bit of sarcasm in her voices...and yes it was irony that she said they'd made it this far since it hadn't been long since classes had started.

Looking up from her tea as she heard the sound of a male voice, Seren couldn't help but laugh at his remark. "You've got a point Gaellan, though I assure you I'm not the anti-social type." She gestured for him to take a seat with her. It would be nice to have company, and what better company was there than the schools Headmaster himself. And as for not getting any down time... Seren was used to it. She preferred to live life to its fullest, keeping herself busy and preoccupied.

As one of the other new staff members entered the staff room, Seren gave her a smile, recognising her from the start of term feast. "So far so good, they keeping you on your toes?" she chimed in. Gemma appeared to be little worn down, so Seren pushed a chair out from under the table so that Gemma could sit down, "Tea?" she asked.

He tried not to bristle over her calling him by his given name, knowing it was an unreasonable reaction. This wasn't the ITF, he wasn't her superior officer, and she would have no way of knowing that pretty much no one called him Gaellen. Cari and his mother.

He coughed. "I don't mind if you require down time. That's sort of the point to this refuge." And to prove he wasn't a cranky pants, Tate took the seat across from her.

Lilyan Moretti was a woman on a mission, and perhaps also a woman who had had a bit too much coffee...

She was making great time in her java fueled perusal of the castle. She'd already checked the man's office, and he wasn't there... so.... next logical step? It was all she could do to stop herself from pointing and shouting 'AHA I'VE FOUND YOU.' When she walked into the room, but she kept her composure well, especially well since there were... others.

She smiled at the women, "Hello ladies." And turned her eyes to the man, "Casey." She tried to peek at his finger without making herself obvious.

"Lil." Tate raised an eyebrow at her, since she was being sort of intense in his general direction. What was the reason for all this striding about and slamming of doors?

At least, he imagined she'd been slamming doors.

"Have tea."

"No thank you. I just drank what would probably equal a whole bucket full of coffee." That was half of the reason why her every movement seemed to be so urgent. It was the caffeine, it made her twitchy, and she was trying to hide it.

She did sit, though, she crossed her legs and put her hands in her lap. With another glance his way, she tapped her finger, more specifically, the ring finger on her left hand. Hers was empty, and HIS was not.

Gemma smiled at the other new staffer "So far so good, there just seems to be tons of them running around here." she said with a smile and upbeat tone of her sweet voice.

As the woman offered her tea, she smiled and instantly a cup hovered over to infront of Gemma, "That would actually be just lovely." she said pausing as she grabbed for the pot and poured a glass. "So how are things going so far for you, fellow newbie?" she asked before taking a drink...yes this was a great idea.

Gemma smiled up at the Healer, "Hello to you as well. Is the Hospital Ward covered up yet" she asked in between her small relaxing drinks. The young professor could remember when she was at Hogwarts that everyone visited the Hospital Ward for anything from minor paper cuts to more dire needs. It was usually a pretty hoping place.

Gemma looked at the Headmaste with one eyebrow raised and her head cocked to the side. She still had her smile on but she did quickly glance at herself to make sure someone hadn't thrown an invisibility cloak over her...nope she was still there. Maybe it just wasn't a priority to see her there. She shrugged her shoulders slightly and didn't let it bother her....tooo much.

Honestly, Josephina had no idea where she was going. No scratch that; she had every intention of making her way through the gates and out toward Hogsmeade Village where she could go purchase herself a nice cold glass of mead. Yet just before she reached the entrance area, there was some strange predicament that was pulling her in the direction of a room she only visited on a couple of occasions since taking on her position at Hogwarts.

Entering the staff room, she immediately took notice of the occupants; the headmaster, surrounded by not one, not two, but three of her fellow female colleagues.

"My goodness, Casey, I had no idea you were such the ladies man." Fina mused as she took a seat at the table.

Nevermind the mead, perhaps that steamy hot liquid Seren was drinking would be better for her anyway.

"As busy as always." Lily smiled politely. She'd not had a chance to get the low down on the new professors. Well, the female ones anyway. But still, the ever polite Moretti woman was just that, polite.

"Have you taught your first class yet?" Lily wasn't sure which was the lesser of the two evils, teaching children, or healing them.

Lily laughed. Had to. She couldn't NOT laugh. She covered her mouth just in time, though, so that her giggles WERE, at the very least, slightly muffled.

Oh, if only Josephina knew.

Lily stopped laughing when Casey addressed her again. She gave him a half grin, half smirk, and whispered "I have my sources." Healer network and the like. You know. She wasn't about to give up her source either, it was much more fun to be shifty about it all.

Seren shrugged, she didn't need the down time yet, after all she hadn't even had her first lesson yet... though she was looking forward to it. She had a treat in store for the kids. One they would really like...
Well at least the thought of it excited Seren... then again any plant that had fangs, moved, was flesh eating, was invisible, dangerous in any way shape or form.... excited her. But still the first lesson would be special.

Taking a sip of her warm chai tea Seren peered around the staffroom. It felt... homely, as if she belonged. BAM! ... what was this?
A bouncy blonde woman- clearly rattled... or chattery?... meh either way, this woman was unsettled, had burst through the door.
"Hi there", replied Seren calmly, though she could feel the excited nervous energy radiating from the woman, thus making her feel slightly uncomfortable.

Casey?.... Casey?... They were calling Gaellan Casey?... Seren didn't quite understand. Turning to the Headmaster, she figured she ought to straighten this one out.
"Sorry... I didn't realise... you go by the name Casey?" she questioned awkwardly. She couldnt understand why, Gaellan was a perfectly good name as it was.

Nonetheless, Gemma seemed like a lovely woman. Seren could tell they'd get along alright.
"Oh things are going great!" exclaimed Seren, "the students are so lovely, I've lost count of how many stopped by my office."It was true... at one point she thought she would never get out of there.. they were practically queueing down the side of the greenhouse.
"And how about yourself? Things going well?"

Ooohh and here she was, "Fina", said Seren, nodding her head in the womans direction. She still thought she would have to find some way of bumping into her on purpose... just for the hell of it. After all she had said to Fina that she would.
"And how are you today?"

Gemma glanced up as another colleague entered the room. She noticed the look on the woman's face as she glanced from the Headmaster to the three of them sitting by him.

At her comment, Gemma's eyes got large and it took every bone in her body not to laugh at the woman's comment. She wasn't sure if it was meant as a joke so she contained it. But the thought of the Headmaster, despite his looks, being a woman magnet was the funniest thing she'd heard in a while. After all, he wasn't making the best impression with her...so far atleast.

She smiled at the woman and then went back to sipping her tea and turned her attention back to the woman talking with her.

"Well that's a good thing, I know the Hospital Wing can be a little bit...well..hectic sometimes...so as long as your not running from there screaming then that's a good sign." she said with a smile to let the woman know she was teasing...she wasn't sure how everyone handled teasing since Tate had not handled it very well at the feast.

She perked up when the Healer mentioned her class, "Yes I did teach my first one. I feel like it went well, but I'm only on my side of the fence not sure if the kids thought the grass was green on their side." she said with a little shrug of her shoulders.

"Oh things are going great!" exclaimed Seren, "the students are so lovely, I've lost count of how many stopped by my office."It was true... at one point she thought she would never get out of there.. they were practically queueing down the side of the greenhouse.
"And how about yourself? Things going well?"

[/B]
Gemma smiled a the woman...she felt like this was going to be one of the staff members that she might be able to get along with, but only time would tell. "That's great to hear..." she said with a little nod up and down between sips, "Yes I've been very impressed by the students coming and visiting me and their manners so far are great!" well except for one of the Prefects but she still made a mental note to talk to the head of house of his house...sleeping in her class...seriously?...she focused back on the conversation at hand. "So far so good, no complaints. I feel like my first class went well and everyone seems so friendly here..." she said taking one glance at the Headmaster...should she call him Tate, or Casey...no she would stick with Headmaster...well except him so far, but she would fix that..."And it's a good sign that I haven't started pulling out my hair. because the kids are driving me crazy, but you know it is early on.." she said jokingly.

Now it was Fina's turn to nearly laugh. And then take a look at what Lily was straining to see; gold - on the ring finger? It never really occured to her of the Headmaster's marital status. She knew he was a few years older than her and not a bad looking fellow, but other than that.

"I can see that. You wouldn't be Headmaster without social skills, after all," she commented.

"Tea, eh? I could go for a cup." And if it had herbs and spices from the greenhouses, all the better.

Oh, if only Josephina knew.[/color]
"Lily," she said by way of introduction, eying the energetic blond curiously. Hmm. Vaguely wondering if the hospital wing had been fumagated with laughing gas, the brunette bit her tongue and changed the subject. "How's the Head Boy's nose?" Because she could only assume the petty fight that the seventh year engaged himself in had brought him to the Hospital Wing.

But the thought of the Headmaster, despite his looks, being a woman magnet was the funniest thing she'd heard in a while. After all, he wasn't making the best impression with her...so far atleast.

She smiled at the woman and then went back to sipping her tea and turned her attention back to the woman talking with her.
Noting the presence of another women, of whom was unknown to Fina, she smiled casually in return. "Josephina Hadley," she said by way of introduction. She thought she recognized the women as having seated herself in Sylvie's seat at the feast, but couldn't be certain. After all, Sylvie wasn't one she really knew, other than the fact that she taught History of Magic succeeding Lainey.

"And how are you today?"
It was almost as if Seren was expecting her to show up. "Seren. What's this I hear of you brewing tea?" she smiled sheepishly. Merlin knew she could go for a relaxing cup of chamomile or something. "Tad beat mentally after my lesson, but at least no one has bumped into me." She mused. "Yourself?"

Lily laughed. Had to. She couldn't NOT laugh. She covered her mouth just in time, though, so that her giggles WERE, at the very least, slightly muffled.

Oh, if only Josephina knew.




Lily stopped laughing when Casey addressed her again. She gave him a half grin, half smirk, and whispered "I have my sources." Healer network and the like. You know. She wasn't about to give up her source either, it was much more fun to be shifty about it all.
He glowered at her. Glowering was a particular gift for Tate, and he turned full force glower right on that Lily Moretti.

"And what do you want to keep quiet about it?" He just didnt' want a FUSS, although perhaps if it was just quick, the tedium of all the fuss would be less excruciating.

Taking a sip of her warm chai tea Seren peered around the staffroom. It felt... homely, as if she belonged. BAM! ... what was this?
A bouncy blonde woman- clearly rattled... or chattery?... meh either way, this woman was unsettled, had burst through the door.
"Hi there", replied Seren calmly, though she could feel the excited nervous energy radiating from the woman, thus making her feel slightly uncomfortable.

Casey?.... Casey?... They were calling Gaellan Casey?... Seren didn't quite understand. Turning to the Headmaster, she figured she ought to straighten this one out.
"Sorry... I didn't realise... you go by the name Casey?" she questioned awkwardly. She couldnt understand why, Gaellan was a perfectly good name as it was.

Nonetheless, Gemma seemed like a lovely woman. Seren could tell they'd get along alright.
"Oh things are going great!" exclaimed Seren, "the students are so lovely, I've lost count of how many stopped by my office."It was true... at one point she thought she would never get out of there.. they were practically queueing down the side of the greenhouse.

"And how are you today?"
"My friends call me Casey, my associates call me Tate. My mother calls me Gaellen." Well, mother and other people, but it wasn't something many got away with. Ahem. Pointed look.

Fine. "I have a feeling the Defense classroom is going to be growing a bit of grass too this term."

Heh. Perhaps it was a bad idea to drink a bucket full of coffee before meeting new people. Though it wasn't as if Lily had been looking for new people, she'd been looking for Casey, and she'd FOUND him.

"Hello." She managed a normal smile. "I'm Lilyan Moretti, the Healer." Yep. Introductions were a common part of meeting new people, "Forgive me, but I do not know your name."

Because she hadn't offered it.

"Hectic isn't really doing it justice." Lily laughed. She wasn't one to complain, but she WAS honest, to a fault sometimes. It was the Gryffindor in her. "Although I have yet to do that. I may do it today if I have any more coffee, though, so I hope everyone keeps it away." HEH. She giggled.

She was about to comment on the grass and fences thing...

When Casey made a funny. Hehe. Lily giggled again.

But her expression sobered a bit at the LOOKS she was getting. She was practically immune to them by now, Casey seemed to be giving them to her more often than not. "Does it matter?" Lily shrugged. Did it? She crossed her heart, silently. She wouldn't say a word to anyone. No, not at all. That was HIS job. Heh.

Except she'd totally already told Van.

Lily waved a hand in the air. "The kid's fine. Broken nose, easy fix, nasty noises though." Ick.

Seren let out a small laugh. Yes she could see how the kids could drive them crazy. Luckily for Seren she spent most of her time down in the gardens and the greenhouses, away from most of the students. So she didn't have to deal with the madness. Then again it would only take one student to kill a plant and then her day would be ruined... not to mention the child would have hell to pay (figuratively speaking).
"Yes... it seems so long ago when I was a student here. You never trully realise what a pain in the backside you were until you see things from a different perspective."And indeed, she would have been a pain. Tracking mud and dirt through the castle, falling asleep in classes, starting food fights... and those were mild misbehaviours. Still at least Seren could say she always had good manners and appologised, and paid for her mistakes.
"Yes the students are generally speaking well mannered... in fact in most cases they're just down right delightful." With the exception of a couple of students. One of which was questionably and the other... well she was an excitable first year- not an issue.

"Ahh yes, a delightful Chai, with fresh tea leaves, ginger, cinnamon, cardamon and cloves, help yourself."Oh yes there was plenty of tea to go around. Seren gestured to the pot in the middle of the table.
HHmmm well in Seren's opinion Arithmancy was always going to be mentally exhausting, she couldn't possibly imagine teaching the subject. Even thinking of it wore her out.
Smiling Seren winked at her, "Well in that case you certainly do need some tea."
"I've been well, the greenhouses and gardens are looking well", this was of course the most important part, "On top of that... well the students so far have been friendly, I'm looking forward to administering my first lesson."Oh yes she was... she had a special first lesson prepared for them. A very special one indeed. Or at least Seren thought so.

Seren nodded her understanding.. or so she thought she understood, the man had afterall made it quite blunt for her.
"Ok Tate.... oohh while I have you here I'd like your approval on something."Yes this something was very important, super important and super exciting as things always were with Seren... or at least when it came to pants.
"I have a friend who has recently acquired a Prayer Flower.... I was hoping I would be able to use it in my first lesson."Suddenly realising how mental and suicidal she sounded she added, "... its dead of course... contained within a tank of unbreakable glass... it's safe."And more importantly it would offer the students the opportunity to identify the beastly plant... thus making them more aware of their environment and the dangers within them. She crossed her fingers under the table... she hoped Tate would approve, it was after all an unmissable opportunity.

Ahh well the woman was friendly enough. Seren flashed her a smile, so good to meet new people. She actually remembered seeing her at the start of term feast, but never quite got the opportunity to strike up a conversation.
"Pleasure you meet you Lilyan, I'm Seren, Seren Bentley, resident Herbologist."

Gemma shook her head trying to remember all the mischief she got into in school, "Yes now that I'm on this side, I'm wondering how many times the professors were on the verge of just jinxing me. " she said thinking of one time she had accidentally, well maybe not completely accidentally, made a jug of water explode in Transfiguration and instead of helping clean up she just laughed uncontrollably. "The students have been amazing, but in the back of my head I'm thinking that maybe they are just waiting for me let my guard down and then they will attack." she said with a little giggle.

She glanced at the Headmaster wondering if he was joking and deciding to take it just at that she smiled genuinely at him and with a small laugh said, "Well it was hard getting it to green up with so little natural light, but now it is just beautiful and the students are enjoying rolling in it." she said with a friendly wink towards him.

Gemma smiled back, "Gemma Cerulean, nice to meet you" she said trying to remember where the woman had sat at the feast. O yes this was the Arithmancy professor.

Yes now that was a good point. "Oh no doubt there will be some... trying times ahead", laughed Seren. Though she was confident that she could handle anything the students threw at her, she would much prefer it if they stayed the way they were now. Sweet and docile.

"It'll be interesting to see how they respond to my first lesson... I hear Max has shaken up a fair few of them with the snargaluff... and bubotubers..."The snargaluff she could understand, but fear of bubotubers was... irrational. Icky as they were, they weren't particularly frightening in the least.

Gemma shook her head, "O yes I figure it can't all be puppies and rainbows all year long, which I have to admit that puppies and rainbows all year long would be pretty boring...and I like a little bit of fun." she said with a little mischievousness in her voice, "but then again I don't want craziness going on...maybe a happy medium...yes..." she said quickly.

"O I'm sure they'll love it...I mean Herbology used to be one of my favorite classes when I was here...I mean we always got the dirtiest in the class and you always got to mess with some of the most amazing things." she just couldn't understand how no one would want to take part in that or would shy away from that class...it must be the archeologist in her that loved the dirt that made her love the class. "And I think a little bit of fear might make things interesting..." she said with a little giggle.

"Oh yes, a little bit of fear is all well and good, but not when half of the students seem to be questioning whether or not they should be taking the subject at all." The fact of the matter was, it was never a good thing when students didn't want to take your class... so now it was Seren's mission to bring them all back. She felt she could do it, provided she was able to get her hands on the right material. Scary but in a controlled and safe environment.
"I've already had a number of students warn me about the snargalluf.. thinking that my life was in danger", Seren laughed, as if that would ever happen. After all the time she spent in the Amazon a snargalluf was literally a walk in the park.

"So what made you decide to get into History?"Seren raised her cup to her lips, letting the warm chai trickle down her throat. It was curious subject, she was quite fond of history, just found it difficult to pay attention and stay focused for most of the time.

"You have grass in your classroom? What's that about?" He gave her a very bland look, although he was clearly amused with how very droll he was. Anyone else amused? Lily? Fina? New professors? No?

Fine. "I have a feeling the Defense classroom is going to be growing a bit of grass too this term."
Josephina was trying to not laugh at the many names of Gaellen Tate. He was always Casey or Tate to her, but she did make mental note of his actual name in case she should decide to calculate a numerology reading for him or something later.

What was that about grass? Looking peculiarly at the Headmaster, she frowned. "Grass or mold? Or is it asbestos? The castle is very ancient and the building codes weren't that strict back then." They should conduct research; for all she knew, they could be breathing in dangerous substances.

Oh good. And that was easy for her to say; if she tried fixing a broken nose, then it would probably end up worse. "Easy for you to say. And my mother. Even fixing a broken nose could end up worse if you don't know what you're doing." Heh. Yea, she could never do healing.

Though maybe if she had as much coffee as Lilyan ingested, then she might manage.

HHmmm well in Seren's opinion Arithmancy was always going to be mentally exhausting, she couldn't possibly imagine teaching the subject. Even thinking of it wore her out.
Smiling Seren winked at her, "Well in that case you certainly do need some tea."
"I've been well, the greenhouses and gardens are looking well", this was of course the most important part, "On top of that... well the students so far have been friendly, I'm looking forward to administering my first lesson."Oh yes she was... she had a special first lesson prepared for them. A very special one indeed. Or at least Seren thought so.
Just then, Fina heard Seren speaking of the well mannered and mostly delightful children. She couldn't hold back the laugh now. Seriously, Seren should just wait until she has some of the male students crushing her. Those were very delightful.

"That sounds delicious." She smiled in appreciation as she poured herself a cup and took her first sip. "Thank you." It was just as delicious as it sounded and smelled.

Smiling at the younger professor's enthusiasm, she reminisced on her own first lesson and then heard something of a Prayer Flower. She had no idea what that was. "There are flowers specific to prayers?" Fina asked, rather befuddled as she set her cup down on its saucer. More amusement, anyone?

So the other woman was named Gemma Cerulean. And she too seemed both anxious and excitable. What was that though about professors on the verge of jinxing students? She glanced quickly at Tate and wondered why he hired such unstable Professors who wanted to jinx the kids. "You should just take points from them. It affects them more than the jinxes." Yup, yup. Not to mention it felt pretty darn good too.

Seren grinned broadly, "You're most welcome."It was so nice to sit around the staff room and enjoy the company of her colleagues. It was the one thing she missed when she was on her field trips- the lack of human companionship.

As she took another sip of her tea, Seren was suddenly distracted by Fina's question. Well distracted was an understatment. Coughing slightly Seren tried to clear her throat of the tea that somehow managed to get lodged in her windpipes. Well this would be interesting.
"Not quite."
Brighteyed and thrilled she could discuss one of the most exotic marine plants known to wizard kind Seren turned her chair eagerly to face Fina.
"The Prayer Flower is one of the most beautiful water plants in the world, they usually grow in colonies between thirty to forty plants, and well..." here Seren trailed off a bit, she didn't quite know how to approach it without sounding crazy.
"... their latin term is Kedavra Nigra and occasionally they go by the name Instant Death... but are usually referred to as the Prayer Flower, because if you get too near to one then you'd best say you're prayers. They're deathly omnivorous."Seren smiled politely before taking another sip of her tea. Yes very dangerous, but incredibly beautiful. It would do the kids a wealth of good to be able to identify them. Especially if they like swimming.
