Default The Corner Room

Beside the Restricted section a new room magically appeared last year. Mr Kitridge stumbled over it when he was following a trail of rat and wombat droppings. The room was then furnished with bookshelves, a few comfy sofas, reading lamps, side tables and a few plants. On the shelves you can find books, pamphlets and magazines about any and all magical careers/professions known to exist in the magical world.

Come in, grab a magazine or book and dream about what you want to work with when you graduate from Hogwarts.

As always any questions or concerns should be run by Mr Kitridge.

Robin entered the room with a small smile on her face. She hadpeered into the corner room before but had never had the time to go inside, but she wanted to explore new parts of the castle and this was definetely the least dangerous of the choices. She shuddered at the other options. Maybe one day she'd check out the spirit room, but not today that's for sure. She browsed the bookshelves and picked up one that read "Want a future in Herbology?" She thought it sounded okay so she nestled into the corner of a comfy looking sofa and flipped through the pages, half day-dreaming and half concentrating. Usually she was a studious girl, but this room made her wand to stare off in space.

Dylan had been making his way back from the library, guitar case in hand, when he noticed a room he hadn't seen before. He paused in his tracks and turned to face it, cocking his head to the side slightly as he studied the door. Should he go in? He inched closer, wondering if he should. Reaching for the handle, he hesitated for a moment, but pushed the door open and walked inside. As the door shut behind him, he looked around and slowly made his way in. It was a pretty cool room actually, and it seemed to have many books and chairs and things. It looked nice and cozy. Suddenly, he noticed a girl all nestled in the corner with a book on what looked like Herbology. Dylan walked over to her and as he got closer, he realized it was the girl he had sat with on the train ride over to school.

The third year cleared his throat to let her know he was there so he wouldn't startle her. "Hi, I don't know if you remember me," he said as he set his guitar case down and plopped into the chair next to hers. "I'm Dylan, I sat with you on the train." hopefully that'd ring a bell or something in case she hadn't recognized him.

Robin snapped out of her daydream and looked at the boy with wide eyes, which quickly turned into crescents as she grinned at him. It was the boy from the train ride to Hogwarts, the really nice one! She was pretty sure this was how they met last time too- her alone and him pulling her out of her thoughts. She hoped he didn't think she was a loner or something, she liked people but she was a shy person sometimes, she was working on it though.
"Hiya! Yeah of course I remember you Dylan! Thanks again for sitting with me on the train" She smiled warmly and scooted impossibly closer to the corner of the couch and patted the cushion next to her.
"Want to sit down? Where's your pet friend? He, or she, was adorable" She had forgotten its name but it looked so cute!

"No problem at all, thanks for letting me join you." he told her, smiling warmly. She seemed like a really nice girl, he was glad they had met. Taking a seat next to her on the spot she offered him, he looked towards the door and then back to Robin. "Oh my cat Ginger? She's napping in the dorm," he said with a chuckle. "She's real sleepy today. Perhaps you can see her sometime! She seemed to have liked you." he told her, nodding.

Robin almost squealed when she imagined the furry cat all curled up, but she let a grin spread across her face "Like I said, adorable" She remembered the weather when she had looked out of her window in her common room. She turned around looking for a window to check "Yeah this morning it was rainy, I always get tired when the sun's not out" She hated cold weather and her opinion of rain was that unless it was a cool thunderstorm, it was not interesting to her. "Well I like Ginger too, did you get her before your first year? My parents only allowed me an owl but they might change their minds soon" She hoped they did, but then she would have to choose between a cat and a piggly puff- probably cat, what would her parents or neighbors think if they saw a squeaking puff?

Dylan laughed, nodding. "Yeah, she's pretty cute." he said, shifting where he sat and resting his legs on the arms of his chair so he could get more comfy. He looked out the window as Robin talked about the weather. "Yeah, I don't like rain much either." he commented, shaking his head. Bleh. It made him unhappy and it was just so much better with the sun out!

"I got her a couple years back, when I first came here," Dylan answered her question, thinking back to when he had first bought her. He smiled at the memory. "I picked her right away. As soon as I entered the shop and saw her, I knew she was the one. And I love her, she's adorable and a goofy little character." he explained, laughing to himself. Darn, he should have taken her with him on his journey through the castle today. Ginger had seemed to haev an interest in Robin on the train. He smiled when she said she had an owl. "Yeah? That's cool, what's its name?" he asked.

Bay needed some quite time and relaxation not he came here to read when he felt bored and right now he was beyond bored.. He couldn't find Lux.. she must be hanging out with some of her friends and he was pretty much to lazy to find anyone.. Going into the corner room he pulled his western out of his bag and took out his bookmark.

He started to read where he last left. oh yeah the cowboy was running away from the bad guys to go get help. He held up his book to get a better view of the small print.

Louis was beginning to feel the pressure. He was already in his sixth year and in just a little over one more term, he would be graduating. He needed to figure out what in the world he was going to do with his life. Would he even follow a magical career path at all? He quite enjoyed the Muggle sciences, but he had also always admired his mother’s work as obliviator for the Ministry of Magic. Hmm. Decisions, decisions.

With these thoughts in mind, Louis walked into the corner room of the library with the goal of reading up on a few different career choices that interested him. But as soon as he walked in, he was distracted.

No way.
Bay!” Could it be?! His best mate, who he hadn’t seen in weeks?! It was almost like they didn’t even go to the same school anymore!

Bay was totally into his book when he was just about to turn the page he heard his name. His head snapped up as he saw Louis. "Louis!!! How are you mate last time I saw you... You were out cold on the common room floor.... You alright? he pulled out a chair for him to sit down.

"Hey!" Louis spread out his arms wide, enveloping his best mate in a friendly hug. Man. It was so nice to see Bay again, he'd really missed him.

Pulling back from the hug and plopping down on the chair his friend had pulled for him, Louis chuckled at the welcoming words. "Yeah, that was pretty crazy. At least I slept well that night," he said with an amused smile. "I'm alright, thinking about graduation already... How about you? How's the term been so far?"

He was very happy that he had put down his book because he was getting a huge hug from Lou… "okay… mate…. need…too…breathe….." he played it on a bit.. but yeah his friend totally has gotten stronger over the summer because it felt like he could crush him into dust..

"you've been working out?" he asked once he was released from the death grip while rubbing his shoulders.

"graduation… oh yeah" to be honest he had been thinking about that too.. Grayson and Bay were talking about Bay opening a joke shop like in Diagon Alley.

"the terms been crazy busy with classes.." he sighed "what do you think your going to do after school?" he also wondered if Lou had been studying for next years exams.

The library was one of the few places in Hogwarts that Nola felt at home. Though she definitely didn't like the swamps that surrounded her home in Louisiana, she missed home. Today Nola didn't have Buster with her, just her book bag with a couple of school books.

At the entrance of the room she hesitated and contemplated if she wanted to sit on the floor or in a chair. Deciding that it was a bit too cold to sit on the floor the tiny Hufflepuff decided the chair was the best option. Slowly she made her way to the chair she'd been eyeing and pulled out her school books.

This was perhaps the most ridiculous thing in the world... she lost her sleeping quarters... and her office... and everything, to the frost and cold. It was unbearable out there, and her teeth still chattered on occasion even with the shelter of the castle to alleviate the bitter winter.

She was merely exploring her options for the time being, but Gryffindor Tower was looking more and more like her new residence for the school term. Seren knew for a fact that the couch in the common room was perfect for sleeping, and a spare bed in one of the dorms was always an option. Perhaps though, this little nook in the Library would offer her and her students some privacy? Maybe?

Conjuring a pillow and a blanket, the Gryffindor Head of House tested the springiness of the couch and then moved to kick off her boots. There was no better way to see if it was a sleep-worthy space than by taking a nap... and with this cold, there were no classes for her to worry about just yet. Alternative measures would have to be taken. Laying down and covering herself up to her chin, like a cocoon, Seren stared up at the ceiling contemplating the option.

Zander was feeling kind of worked up after that muggle studies lesson. The one subject that he normally found himself relatively good at, and he had totally failed it. How does a person lose their pizza!? And even worse, HOW DOES A PERSON THEN FIND THEMSELVES WITH A PIZZA HEAD?! Ugh. Feeling more discouraged than ever the Gryffindor knew just what to do! The career center, or the corner room as it was more commonly called. Maybe he could find something that he could actually succeed at and work towards that? He was hoping to do some kind of muggle work with the ministry, but muggle studies had turned out to be a flop (literally) so far this term. There had to be other options.

As he lingered into the room, PROFESSOR BENTLEY!? She caught him off guard and he took in a sharp breath as he noticed her lying on the couch. Awwhh she looked so angelic in her sleep. He could feel those fluttery things in his stomach doing that weird thing and AH. HE could just run away now. While she was napping. A clean escape. Maybe that would make all the flutteries go away. WAIT, What was going on with him!? She's A PROFESSOR.

O_____O

AND SHE'S AWAKE!?

The Gryffindor was in total panic mode. Her eyes were open. Unless she was one of those creepy people who slept with open eyes, which he doubted because how could she ever be creepy, then he was in big trouble. He couldn't run away now. She had probably already noticed his presence. Okay deep breathes. Deep breathes. His hand shot up to his hair as he nervously mussed it around. "Pro-professor Be-be-bentley?" he said trying to make eye contact, but instead finding himself staring at the floor. "What are you doing here?" WAS SHE OKAY!? Did she need something? Water? A bed? A place to stay? Or perhaps the company of a lovely third year boy who always does his best and is totally angelic and nice and stuff?

There. Was. A. Coil. In. Her. Back.

....

The couch must have had a rough life, students sitting, laying, jumping on it... and Circe knew what else. Teenagers confined to corner rooms of a Library, yeah, she didn't want to know. Seren was already at the stage of giving up and moving on, this would not be her new bed space. No. She could fine better. But then... she wasn't alone.

Sitting up and propping herself on her elbows, she took a look at the owner of the voice she so recognised. "Zander!" she greeted brightly, surprised and not surprised to see the Gryffindor here. "I'm looking for a new bedroom... but this isn't it," she informed, pulling herself into a sitting position and swinging her legs back off the couch. She pat the spot beside her, he was welcome to have at it if he wanted to.

"What are you doing here?" she asked in reply, smoothing out the blanket, not yet willing to part with it.

Zander tried his best to listen, but it was kind of hard when his mind was elsewhere. Well technically... not elsewhere. It was still on Professor Bentley. Just not on what she was saying And the flutteries were still there. WHY ARE THEY STILL THERE!? They were like this annoying THING just going on in his stomach all the time. Like his own personal Peeves. Ahem anyways.

A new bedroom, eh? "You could--" Zander was SO tempted to offer up his own, but before he could say anything he stopped himself. Oops. That would not be a good idea... Even if his heart was in the right place... "I, erm, I mean... The hospital wing might have some extra cots or something... That you could borrow?... Bu-but What's wrong with your current place?" Wait. Where did Professors sleep anyways? Zander had never really thought about it before... Didn't they just live in their desks when students weren't around? No. Zander could not imagine Professor Bentley living in a desk. She probably lived in some huge, magnificent castle.

.... Oh. Wait.

Out of the corner of his eye he noticed that she was offering him a place on the couch. Uh oh. Did she want him to sit? He carefully moved towards her and carefully plopped onto the couch. Except he sat so there was as much distance as possible between them. Could she hear his heart beat? Would she be able to sense it picking up pace? AH. "Thanks," he said this time forcing himself to make eye contact. He didn't need her figuring anything out. Especially because he hadn't even figured it out yet. What is the meaning of these flutteries?

What was he doing here? WAIT, what WAS he doing here? He looked around the room for some hints. After spotting a book that looked to be about the ministry, he suddenly remembered! Oh right, careers. He had almost forgotten after the whole run in with his most favoritest Professor. Ahem. "I uh," he started. "Well, I'm not doing very well in many of my classes and I'm really..." How could he say it without sounding like a total wimp in front of her? "I'm scared that I won't be able to find a job and that-I'll-flunk-out-of-Hogwarts and notgetanyOWLsorNEWTs!" he admitted all of this all at once, so that at the end of his sentence all his words started to mesh together. "So I guess I'm here to find a future?" What? O__O

Either way, that was essentially the reason he came by, but the reason he was staying...

Well that was for the flutteries.

Well that was for the flutteries.


There was something in the way that he was avoiding eye contact, and standing so awkwardly that had her wondering if she'd said something wrong. Or did something wrong? ... Whooops? She wasn't at all certain of what he was trying to say, but when his words eventually came to him, she supposed the Hospital Wing wouldn't be too bad a place to look. "I'll keep that in mind, thank you," she noted. Though, beds that have had the sickly in them, seemed far less inviting to a couch with wonky springs. Not that those springs couldn't be righted, but she didn't have the patience for that. "It's too cold. Far too cold, no fire or charm seems to have much effect... I can't live like that any more." How Javy tolerated it was beyond her. But her quarters were now, uninhabitable.

Shuffling in her seat to give Zander some more... personal room... she watched curiously as he settled himself down. Whatever had him looking so nervous before seemed to be subsiding. This became more evident as he launched into what was plaguing him. Meeeeep. He looked like he could do with a hug. "And which class is this?" she asked with genuine interest, turning slightly so she was looking at him more directly. "Because I promise you that you won't flunk your OWLs or NEWTs and you will graduate and you will find a job..." the boy wasn't a lost cause, she'd seen those before, he was not one of them. "Would you like me to help you find a pathway?"

Default Zander & Seren...
Swedishfish Girl! Madame Librarian! Jess's Soul Sister! Sweetest Swede!

It was quiet day in the library so Leo could without much trouble check off the work he needed to get done in a effective pace. Grabbing two boxes full to the brim of new pamphlets, magazines and information about jobs from the storage room the dark mop-haired librarian carried it all over to the corner room.

Shouldering up the door Leo headed inside spotting Seren and a Gryffindor boy he had yet to the make acquaintance with over by the information. "Hello Seren and boy I don't think I've met. Have you found anything of interest?" Leo queried with a smile as he past the two to set down his load.

"Would you like me to help you find a pathway?"


Zander fiddled around with his feet as he sat next to her. He was still feeling a bit uneasy and definitely did not need to let his guard down. This way, he wouldn't accidentally almost say something completely stupid again. Oops. Gryffindors could be cautious too, right? Then as Bentley spoke again, Zander's eyes fluttered back up towards her. Too cold? Oh yeah, did the Herbology Professor live outside the castle? Did she live in a greenhouse?!.... Zander didn't really want to ask because then he'd think about her sleeping. And then he'd think about how angelic she-- NO, BAD ZANDER.

"This winter is unbearable," he said with a concerned look on his face. "Well... Of course, you're definitely welcome in the Gryffindor common room.... We could... I mean you could... Cozy up by the fireplace." That's what Zander did whenever he came back from one of those blasted outdoor lessons the Professors seemed to insist on. "And if you can't, you know, find a place to stay... I'm sure you'll be allowed to take over the room f requirement?" Though he didn't know too much about Hogwarts secrets yet, he once overheard a couple of students talking about that room. Was it just a myth? Poor Professor Bentley. If he thought it was bad, what about her? She had to stay out there all the time and keep up with the poor plants. Wait a minute, "OH NO, Are the plants okay!?"

Which class?? There were so many. It wasn't really just one... "I always mess up my potions... And I'm not very good at History... And Arithmancy always gives me a giant headache... And in Transfiguration I'm always one of the last to get the spell right... And I thought I was good at muggle studies, but last lesson I threw the pizza dough and it landed in my hair!" Woah. He had never really talked so much all at once in his history of Hogwarts. But there was just something so inviting about the way Bentley spoke that seemed to encourage him to admit all of these things. Maybe because she was Gryffindor head of house? That surely had something to do with it... And here come the flutteries again. Then he looked up again when she offered her help Holy sweet merlin. Bentley was so nice and caring and helpful and "That would be amazing-- I mean, if you aren't too tired... I know you came in here for some rest and stuff."

Just then when the flutteries were starting to get even worse, Zander noticed another presence in the room. He would've been super upset that the man had come in and ruined his time alone with Bentley, yet he was actually EXTREMELY THANKFUL. The boy was slowly turning into a nervous mess of blubbering and stomach flutteries. This man couldn't have walked in at a better time. Seren? Was that Professor Bentley's name? Sweet Seren, Superior Seren. Supportive Seren. Seren seren seren seren. Wow. "Hi, I'm... I'm Zander," he said offering his best smile. It wasn't that hard when he wasn't talking to Bentley. Anything of interest? "Actually... I-I I pretty much only got here a couple of minutes ago..." he admitted with a slight blush. "I was talking to Professor B-Bentley, so I haven't... had a chance to look around yet."

The blanket over her knees was still very much welcome, and though it was a shame that there would be no napping here, at least it was a grand opportunity to build rapport with Zander. Because that's what this was, rapport building... getting to know him on a deeper level.

"Unbearable is too right," she agreed, and it was slowly killing her and her plants... she could only imagine how much worse it would have been had the winter set in last year. Her aged body would have seen its end had that been the case. And there was an idea she gave some thought to. The couch in the common room proved to be exceptionally comfortable last year, and she was certain one of the dorms could accommodate her. "You know what?... I think that's a brilliant idea!.. and that way I can keep a closer eye on you lot," she mused with a wink. Heh. She wouldn't ruin things for them entirely, and for the most part she figured it could be a fun experience... "The plants are struggling, I keep warming water for them, checking the climate charms, adding mulch... nothing seems to be working, I might have to find them alternative accommodation too." It was such a pickle they were in.

Of course, her own problems took a back seat as Zander began to express to her his woes regarding his subjects and... well... his prospects. Admittedly, the way he put it, it did sound rather depressing, but she was sure this wasn't the case. "Okaayyyyy..." she started, a solitary nod indicating she'd heard and was processing. "Let me fill you in on a little secret." And that it was, or at least, it was now that Vindictus no longer taught here, he knew her secrets only too well. "I was a dreadful Ravenclaw," she confessed. "I knew my ingredients in Potions, but that's as far as my knowledge took me... I hated Airthmancy, and Runes, Transfiguration I found to be challenging, though Charms I was moderately good at. To this day I'm convinced I'd fail Muggle Studies and really... from what you've told me, you're in a better position than I was." And that was the truth. Seren wiggled across the couch, just a little bit closer to him. She'd have offered him some blanket too if she didn't think it would be weird. Alas, she held onto it. "And you know what? It's not too late, and you can get better... and you're not at all a lost cause to begin with."

"So come on, lets find you a career path." Seren conveniently ignored the bit about her resting, she didn't need to rest, especially not when one of her Lions needed her.

It was then that Leo interrupted them, or joined them... or something... and with new stocks it seemed. "Leo," she greeted in return, also ignoring formalities in front of the student. She waited as Zander introduced himself. Funny how cute he was, stuttering and all. Seren moved the blanket so that it draped over him instead. He must have been cold. That's what it was. "We were about to consider some career pathways, care to assist us?" she asked the librarian. He was after all, more knowledgeable in this field than she was.

Beaming warmly at the boy Leo said “It’s a pleasure to meet you Zander.” Unloading the boxes he grabbed a stack of magazines and headed over to where Zander and Seren were standing. Rearranging the magazines among the other ones he Leo glanced over at Zander. "Got any dream jobs or favourite subjects you could be interested in starting a career in?" That was how he had ended up in the librarian profession after all following the books so to speak.

Turning to Seren he smiled. "Sure, I'll help you two with the career hunt. I don’t think I’ve ever asked this. How did you end up on the Herbology professor path? Have you always loved plants?" He was curious but most of all it could help Zander when he tried to narrow down his career pathways.

The wink. That wink. THAT WINK. SOS is there a healer in here? Because that wink almost killed the kid. Zander's heart beat started going even faster than before, if that is even possible, and the flutteries were becoming EVEN MORE evident. They felt more like stabbies now. Uh oh. Zander would love it if Bentley kept a closer eye on his lot. Except, if that meant more stabbies, then maybe it'd be a bad idea. how much more could his poor body take? Enough is enough already! Zander nodded as Bentley went on about the poor plants. Except it was getting really hard to focus. And at this point he'd rather just stare at her while she talked. Because that was more fun.

Wait!? BENTLEY WAS A RAVENCLAW?! But-but-but she was the Head of Gryffindor House! Where did her real loyalties lie? Hopefully with Gryffindor. Because Zander would love to be apart of her loyalties. MHM. Anyways... Zander found all her struggles in school a little hard to believe. Especially because she just seemed so knowledgeable and smart. There was no way that she was only moderately good at charms and found transfiguration challenging. But nevertheless, Zander listened and nodded. "Okay," a career path. That'd help with the problem right? Because hopefully once he found a path, it'd be easier to work hard to achieve that kind of stuff...

He looked down at the blanket that had just been placed over him. Uh? That was kind of confusing. Maybe Bentley was getting hot? But before he could question it, the librarian had started speaking again. Any dream jobs? Favorite subjects? Uh.... "Um, I, uh... No dream jobs really..." When he was younger he did want to work as an icecream man, but then again, didn't all kids? And he didn't particularly take a liking to any subject in general. He mostly just stuck around and did what he was told. This would probably be harder than he thought. "I, uh, I guess I-I like Care of Magical Creatures. And erm, and, charms?"

But that definitely did not mean he was any good at them. He just didn't particularly hate them as much as he hated Arithmancy and Potions. "I-I don't really know much about wizard careers actually... I'm a muggleborn," welp. That was embarrassing. All he knew was the careers at Hogwarts. And that's basically it.

Rearranging the magazines among the other ones he Leo glanced over at Zander. "Got any dream jobs or favourite subjects you could be interested in starting a career in?" That was how he had ended up in the librarian profession after all following the books so to speak.

Turning to Seren he smiled. "Sure, I'll help you two with the career hunt. I don’t think I’ve ever asked this. How did you end up on the Herbology professor path? Have you always loved plants?" He was curious but most of all it could help Zander when he tried to narrow down his career pathways.

The wink. That wink. THAT WINK. SOS is there a healer in here? Because that wink almost killed the kid. Zander's heart beat started going even faster than before, if that is even possible, and the flutteries were becoming EVEN MORE evident. They felt more like stabbies now. Uh oh. Zander would love it if Bentley kept a closer eye on his lot. Except, if that meant more stabbies, then maybe it'd be a bad idea. how much more could his poor body take? Enough is enough already! Zander nodded as Bentley went on about the poor plants. Except it was getting really hard to focus. And at this point he'd rather just stare at her while she talked. Because that was more fun.

Wait!? BENTLEY WAS A RAVENCLAW?! But-but-but she was the Head of Gryffindor House! Where did her real loyalties lie? Hopefully with Gryffindor. Because Zander would love to be apart of her loyalties. MHM. Anyways... Zander found all her struggles in school a little hard to believe. Especially because she just seemed so knowledgeable and smart. There was no way that she was only moderately good at charms and found transfiguration challenging. But nevertheless, Zander listened and nodded. "Okay," a career path. That'd help with the problem right? Because hopefully once he found a path, it'd be easier to work hard to achieve that kind of stuff...

He looked down at the blanket that had just been placed over him. Uh? That was kind of confusing. Maybe Bentley was getting hot? But before he could question it, the librarian had started speaking again. Any dream jobs? Favorite subjects? Uh.... "Um, I, uh... No dream jobs really..." When he was younger he did want to work as an icecream man, but then again, didn't all kids? And he didn't particularly take a liking to any subject in general. He mostly just stuck around and did what he was told. This would probably be harder than he thought. "I, uh, I guess I-I like Care of Magical Creatures. And erm, and, charms?"

But that definitely did not mean he was any good at them. He just didn't particularly hate them as much as he hated Arithmancy and Potions. "I-I don't really know much about wizard careers actually... I'm a muggleborn," welp. That was embarrassing. All he knew was the careers at Hogwarts. And that's basically it.


Ooohhhh excellent, they could make a day of it... because she was terribly clueless at the minute of how to proceed, still, perhaps there was something Zander enjoyed doing more than anything else. Of course, she could hardly go past the question that was directed to her. "Oh I've always loved it, for sure... some of my earliest memories were of being in the garden with my mother and grandparents... I suppose that's where my passion for the area stemmed."

Of course, that seemed only a natural extension of her being, to her... how Leo got into... librarianism was something else. "And yourself? Librarian? Always something that's been on your mind?" It seemed almost strange that she didn't know this much about her colleague, and former house mate. Considering the years they shared in Ravenclaw House together, she couldn't attest to seeing him in the castle on more than a handful of occasions. She always preferred being out of doors... or in detention.

Zander broke his silence, after some deliberation of what they had said, no doubt. She still couldn't help but take note of the stuttering... was it something he always did? If it was, she hardly noticed till now. "There're are plenty of careers that tie in with those subjects," she assured, it was a good place to start. "There's always practical work of course, but then there's also a great deal that require a theoretical knowledge of such things too...." so did he see himself as more of an active person? Or a behind the desk type person? Or both?

Of course she knew he was muggleborn, and she hadn't really thought much of it until he said it like that. "You know that you're not in any way limited to working only a wizard career? Right? There are a number of respectable witches and wizards that live, work and coexist in the muggle world..." just in case he didn't think it was an option. There was nothing wrong with being a muggleborn, or a muggle for that matter.

Tessa groaned as she set down the tall pile of books, parchment, quills, ink, and everything else that would be needed to catch up with all of her course work. Training had been tough, and hadn't left much time for other things... like school work.

After a moment of letting herself mutter about the uselessness of homework, she got to work. In between daydreams of flying on the Quidditch pitch, or of her boyfriend Sander, she was slowly starting to get the work done.
