Default Waiting Area Outside of Professor Culloden's Office

Your professor does not like hanging out in his office, and therefore lined you several black armchairs to sit while you are waiting for him. His doors are closed at all times though, so it's worth a knock to see if he is inside here. And if he is not, well, you'd better bring something with you to entertain yourself.

OOC: Please post here first if you want to see the Professor. You may post in the office after I let you in. You may chat with your friends, but please keep it to minimum.

Sophie had REALLY BIG expectations for this new professor. Man? Woman? She had no idea just yet. The school year had just started! Even so, any old somebody just couldn't walk on in here and take her grandmother's place. Nope. This had better be somebody special, because Sophie was still not happy about only being under her grandmother's instructions for one school year.

*knock knock knock*

She knocked on the door then turned to take a seat. Oh, heyyy! Super comfy chairs! Sophie plopped down on one. If the professor wasn't in, she'd have an excellent opportunity to just sit here like a bump on a log and lounge around. She may even return throughout the year just to sit on these chairs and do her homework.

Yup.

Hawthorne knew she wanted to introduce herself to a few of her proffessors. She also had some questions. And these included her Potions and Mugle studies professors. So where better to start than her potions professor? She had heard from so many over the summer that it was a new professor, too. She hoped they were nice... or at least nice enough. Her father ran his own potions business out of home and he had been a Slytherin in school. How silly she must look, though, a Hufflepuff down in the dungeons about to knock on her professors door.

TOK TOK TOK

She knocked thrice and then turned and chose a seat along the wall. She hauled out her potions textbook and continued reading from where she had left off over the summer. She didn't have much to do so she had filled her days with reading her potions text book, helping her father with his potion making, and muggle watching.

Yup.

After breakfast in his first morning, Cosgrach decided to hang out in his office for a while to get used to it. He was going to spend some time there, after all. It was a great morning anyway, and he figured no one would visit--

...

He couldn't even sit down on his chair! He frowned deeply and walked to get the door. His frown didn't dissolve upon seeing the girl, but he moved silently aside to let her in.

Did she dream of him or what?

OOC: You can post at the office!

She didn't have much to do so she had filled her days with reading her potions text book, helping her father with his potion making, and muggle watching.


Of course, an office down in the dungeons didn't serve him well, who had spend the last 18 years outdoors, so Cosgrach wasted no time in getting out for fresh air. It was just the first day, after all, and although a girl had visited him earlier, he didn't believe more would. So he took his time walking around aimlessly and returned to his office 1,5 hours later... to find yet another girl.

Did he have only 3 months of life left or what?

Making no sound, he got as close as he could to peek at the book she was reading. A potions textbook!

"Great choice!" He didn't care if he startled her or not. SHE startled HIM on the first day! He didn't smile or look at her again, but simply tapped his wand at the door and muttered under his breath to open it.

"C'mon in," he said, holding the door for her like any gentleman would do.


OOC: You, too, can proceed to the office. :3

It wasn't that West was particularly curious about the new Potions professor, it was just that there were certain things he was used to with Lafay and he wanted to make sure he could still do his own thing in his own time and make use of the facilities, and maybe even experiment a bit further. All he wanted was a free pass to essentially do as he pleased...

The Slytherin had of course been to this office a bazillion times before. Lafay had been his head of house after all. He'd seen her bleed goo from her BRAIN here and all that too.

You didn't forget a thing like brain goo.

West knocked and then went ahead and sat in one of the chairs to wait.

Cosgrach understood that he ought to stay in his office, because students were far too enthusiastic here, so he was reading the Daily Prophet but not reading really. Was it a lie that Lafay scared them off? Did the woman secretly treat them mother-like that they wasted no time visiting this office? He should have known better than to trust that girl, Ella or something. He had to talk to Annie about--

Knock.

His eyes grugdingly went to the door and he counted to ten before straightening up in his seat. Folding the newspaper, he grabbed his wand and waved it at the door to open it.

"Come in," he called from his table that was messy with papers already, but whoever came wouldn't dare a peek, right?

Cara walked around the school, looking for something to do. She came upon the potions classrooms, one of her personal favorite class and favorite thing to do was brewing. She sat down, waiting for the professor, she needed to ask several questions about the potion's department at Hogwarts.

It was another one of Cosgrach's walks around the school, and this one took two hours this time. Sure, there could be students needing him, but didn't school also taught them to solve things on their own? It should, at least, so he took his sweet time to return to that humid, subterranean office.

But of course, there was someone waiting for him.

And of course, that someone probably wanted to talk to him at his office.

Walking past her swiftly, he tapped his wand on his door and muttered some unintelligible words to open it. The door clicked and he pushed it open. Only then did he acknowledge the girl.

"Come in, then," he said as he held the door open for her. His office was warmer than the corridor too, and he believed Hufflepuff would prefer that.

What better way to introduce herself to a new professor than with baked goods? It had kind of become habit of Adelaide to just bake for teachers. Most of them seemed to enjoy it, plus it was relaxing for her. She'd rather enjoyed the talk of dragons and such.

Addi readjusted the container of brownies in her arms and knocked on the door politely. She then went to sit in one of the armchairs while she waited. Hopefully he was there. Otherwise it wasn't like she had too far to go back to her common room.

Of course, she saved approaching the new professor for after his first lesson. But the morning after the most recent class, where Alice had deemed him a decent instructor, she arrived at his office door. She brought along a book in case Culloden wasn't around, and the seventh year began flipping through it after she'd given his door a good knock and sank into one of those armchairs.

And then she waited.

Alice hated waiting.

Alice was lucky she had to wait only for a few minutes--or so Cosgrach hoped, when a happy man returned to his office from a rich breakfast after a good sleep. He wasn't even surprised for seeing students in front of his office, but he was pleased to see Captain Fischer. That meant she was interested in potions, and it wasn't a secret potions needed sharp people like her.

"Morning, Alice," he greeted her, though he didn't smile. He figured the girl preferred to put some distance between herself and people, and smiling was 'friendliness'. He drew his wand and tapped it on his door as he muttered a password to open it, then held the door open for ber before entering.

"Come in, please."

He was looking forward to hearing why she had come.

...she... hadn't needed to knock on the door, really. Cosgrach could just... FEEL them, y'know? The goodies. He was halfway opening the door to get 'em when she knocked on the door, and he didn't even remember opening his door. It was just open a few seconds later, and he barely looked at the face before his eyes settled on delicious.

Merlin, he LOVED this school!

"Come, pass, enter," he said--his voice was only a tone higher than a whisper, and he stepped aside to let her in.

Brownies........they were for him, YES?! Or else, she'd wish she was never taking potions--right, no threatening, right.

Brownies!

Hawthorne returned from her dormitory, post potions class, with her leftover potion in a store container in her hands. She had changed into fresh robes and cleaned the bottom of her shoes. She didn't want to track any of the potions from today onto the lovely carpet the professor was so proud of. She didn't know if the professor would want to see the potion she had made that class or not, so she brought it just in case. She noticed that he was not yet in his office, he must be cleaning up the potions lab. So she sat down into one of the waiting chairs, the rest completely empty. She couldn't believe this was already her second visit to his office this year and they had only completed the very first class!

Boy, she must seem a keener to the other students. And in reality she could be considered one. She loved potions and she wanted to master as many potions as she could. She was glad they had discussed the practical purposes of this potion, despite it being kind of more 'fun' than useful when she first heard of what they would be doing. She hoped she had satisfactorily brewed it, which is one reason why she had brought it in order for the professor to check it in private. He really had too many students to deal with in the class, so she had stayed quite quiet just brewing her potion as instructed. As much as she would have enjoyed goofing off a little bit in a constructive way (meaning having fun like the other students) but, when it came to potions, she was brought up to treat them with seriousness and respect.

Perhaps one of the greatest lessons she would learn from this professor was how to have fun with it too. Even though brewing potions in her serious manner did bring her great joy.

When she was fully seated in one of the chairs she gently laid her potion on her lap. She didn't want to spill anywhere, especially not around this professors belongings. He was definitely one to push cleanliness. She bit her lip a moment before pushing it back out when she blew a stream of air into the dark corridor.

OOC: I know you gave me permission to RP slightly for you but I decided to wait... because why not have a super long insightful monologue about my charrie.

Cosgrach returned to his office ten or fifteen minutes later. It took him a bit longer than he'd expected to gather all the shells, but he knew he wouldn't be comfortable until everything was clean in the class. Once done, he'd washed his hands several times too, and was wiping them on a tissue on his way to his office when he saw Hawthorne on the seats.

Smiling on her, he proceeded to draw his wand and unlock his door. "C'min, c'min," he told her as he kept the door open for her to pass.

Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

Alexa had done an extra fine job of combing her fully greyed hair and pulled it back into a neat bun AND she was wearing her best robes. Had to look like a responsible Student Leader didn't she? Yes. Impressions were what brought you through life. Felix was left up in her Common Room and her candy bag was hung behind her so it wouldn't be a distraction. This had to go well, you know?

Most important was her needing to remember her best manners and most apologetic tone. Merlin this was gonna be hard.

The Prefect gave a few light taps at the door then waited. He was inside, yeah? This wasn't gonna be another GIANT waste? She had a potions lab to get to in another half an hour and she didn't wanna be late. The potion she wanted was already firmly in her head.

Luckyyy for her, Cosgrach was in his office, had transformed his chair into a comfortable bed and was taking a short nap.

Oh wait. Maybe it was unlucky, because he got up from his nap two minutes earlier because of the knock, and with a jolt.

He... hated waking up earlier than planned.

With a jolt.

For a visitor not wanted right now. Unless it was... nope, still not wanted.

Cosgrach rose in his seat. He sure heard the knock and debated whether to pretend he wasn't there. But then it occured to him it might be an emergency--what if his precious laboratory was about to explode?!?!--so he groggily got up, transfigured his seat back to a chair and waved his wand at the door to get it open.

He had still been a minute late to open it, though, so maybe they left? Even though his laboratory would explode?

No answer. What did no answer even MEAN??

The Gryffindor stood, deciding she had another half an hour before rushing off. If he wasn't in then surely he'd return before then? Professors didn't stay away from their offices for too long did they? It wasn't like they had friends they could socialize with or anything? Nope. If he was gone it was to grab food then he'd be right back and she could get this over with.

Lex had briefly thought about sinking to the floor, what with the absence of seats for waiting but then she heard some indistinct shuffling from inside.

So he WAS there. Good good. Alexa straightened again in time with the door swinging open but even with it open she made no attempts to enter. Manners, remember? The girl would stand right there, most polite smile possible and WAIT to be invited in....or spoken to in the corridor, either way was fine with her. It was all the same. "Good evening Professor. Sorry to bother you." Except, maybe not that sorry. He shouldn't take things that didn't belong to him.

..........well?

.................well?

After what felt like eternity to Cosgrach--but in all reality it probably wasn't even a few seconds, someone spoke.

Correction: Alexa spoke, because she wasn't just anyone. She was the corrupt prefect. Cosgrach grunted to himself.

Well, if she had been too sorry, she wouldn't even have bothered him in the first place, would she?

Cosgrach took his sweet time replying, yawning and stretching in the process.

"Come in if you want," he said at last and tried to look less tired or sleepy. Really, though. Didn't she know people SLEPT at that hour?

be curious, not judgmental

Sophie totally wasn't weird, but she had a good idea of what times of day Culloden would be in his office and had planned her visit accordingly. She'd been wanting to come along and have a good conversation with him for a few days now, but kept putting it off because she... was a little nervous. Not nervous to TALK to him, even though she had some serious things to talk to him about, but more nervous that she would... well, lose her composure a little bit. She had almost done it in front of Cat, but that would have been desirable over crying in front of Culloden. Blech. She couldn't even imagine what he would do, but she was certain he would be alarmed and... probably not handle it well. She wouldn't know what to do, he wouldn't know what to do, and it would be all sorts of awkward.

He just didn't seem the comforting type. Concerned, perhaps, but she didn't want to put him in a position where he'd feel obligated to comfort her. That wasn't in his job description.

Whether he would mind comforting her or not, she wasn't planning on finding out, though. Even though her emotions had been out of whack lately. Nope. When she thought about it, she thought he would give good hugs, but... once again, he didn't strike her as being much of a willing hugger. So she was ruling that one out. In case of emergencies, she'd need to find someone else. They were just going to be buds, regardless of the fact that he had already become like a second father to her. But she could hug her own dad on holiday breaks when she went home.

Sophie felt comfortable and confident enough with Culloden that she almost just knocked to announce her arrival and walked right into his office. She knew she wouldn't be bothering him, but she also knew he was a man who appreciated being respected. Though Sophie thought of them as friends, she was self-aware enough to just give a few shaky knocks. It wasn't worth taking the chance that he would scold her or be disappointed in her for some reason if she just moseyed into the office and made herself at home. She figured he might find some amusement in it, but... she wasn't going to push her luck.

Maybe next term.

Upon knocking a few times, Sophie offered an informational, "It's Sophie," before slowly shuffling away from the door, digging her hands deep into the pockets of her sweatpants, and sliding down into the nearest black armchair to rest in the meantime in case he WAS busy with something. The trek down to the dungeons was brutal these days. Her hands were shaky, her back was stiff - had ignoring the Grey Lady's advice on good posture finally caught up with her? - her knees were achy, her legs felt like jell-o, and she really just wanted a good nap. Why couldn't the potions classroom be up near the Ravenclaw tower for her convenience? Meeeeh.

Sophie indeed had a good insight into his in-office hours and mood to accept visitors, even though he'd accept her ANY time during the 24 hours that made a day. It just made things easy to be in the best mood for visitors, though. He was reading a letter of one of his few friends from the United States when she knocked the door. He looked up from the letter and smiled in high spirits. He thought of opening the door with his wand, but it would be rude to her, so he got up the next second and opened the door by himself.

"Bienvenue, Mademoiselle," he said as he bowed deeply, and moved to side to let her in. He didn't bother to tell her to take a seat, because she KNEW she didn't even have to ask, right?

Caelen may or may not have ran here. But she had a reason. She was getting a bit excited over what she may or may not have learned from the library, and wanted to talk something out. It was worth a try, and maybe even get some wheels turning. Because there was no wrong answer when you were just guessing.

The readhead knocked on the professors door and then sat in one of the armchairs, practically wiggling around. This was important! Really important. Because she -and probably everyone else who was ACTUALLY old- was getting annoyed with these affects. Maybe someone would be able to find them a cure. Unlike the professor that said all of this was permanent. But she was choosing to ignore him right now. She wanted to find the cure for this. Caelen was a curious kid.

After about half a minute, the door opened and Cosgrach bellowed "Come in!" from his desk. Lucky for the girl, he hadn't been in the middle of anything. He had just been sitting there, contemplating life and stuff.

The redhead smiled and stood up, excited that she hadn't had the urge to run away or act really awkward. DAWWW look, she was growing. Eww, that sounded gross. Anyway, she had a professor to talk to.

"Thank you Professor." As she walked into the office, she thought of how she was going to adress this. Did she want to come right out and SAY what was bothering her, or did she want to address it slowly? Heck, she hadn't been around the other student's of Hogwarts in a while, she didn't even know if what she was saying was relevant anymore. Maybe it wasn't and she was confused. But that meant that she did all of that research for nothing. At least she was learning something? Naah, that was a crappy remedy for this. She wanted to be like SuperWoman, not Sherlock.

He was told to come here so here he was. Usually the second year would think the worst about a professor wanting to see him in their office, but this was Professor Cool so he knew it couldn't be because he did anything wrong. He assumed if was about the hair potion he had been thinking about in class yesterday.

Bart walked up to the door and knocked on the door. He hadn't been in the best spirits lately so his unusual low key personality didn't really knock that loud. Between being tired of looking old and now his mum's break up he was just not caring much about school, but maybe possibly getting a chance to experiment on a potion, his mind perked up and he was over willing to come spend time with his favorite professor.

Though what if he had done something wrong yesterday in that forgetful potion and this was Culloden's way of telling him he'd never be able to experiment in his lab. A frown popped on the boys face when he thought about this. No.. no he knew what he was doing in potions and he wouldn't mess up even if the stubborn potion spit at him. In the end he was right and that was all that mattered.

Cosgrach remembered his words to Bart, so he had been waiting for him at his office, reading the Daily Prophet in the process. He looked up from the newspaper when he heard the knock and got up to personally greet the boy.

Opening the door to let him in, Cosgrach smiled warmly. "Come here, son, and take a seat."

Quickly yewt cautiously, Nate made his way down the Dungeon corridors. He never was interested in this place down here. It always made shivers run down his spine, and just creeped him out in general. Nate had to do something, and he had to do it fast. His friend, Caelyn, had requested his assistance. Potions was like the Jones' Family bread and butter. His two sisters literally could make Potions in there sleep. No lie, he has seen them do it before. Personally Nate didn't really care for it. He took after his brothers liking of Quidditch and Ancient Runes. Though Nate was still good with Potions.

Moving faster with each step Nate had made it to the Professors door. Hopefully Caelyn was already there. They would need to do this fast. The term was almost to an end. If they wanted to solve this mystery they would have to do it fast.

Tap Tap Tap!

With three quick knocks on the door he awaited anxiously outside in the Hallway.
