Default of Professor Nana Ichihara



Nana Ichihara is a woman of structure, of organization, and above all cleanliness, and from her office all of these things should be wildly apparent. The space is warm, inviting, and clean as a whistle, but above all you will notice just how stylishly decorated it is, as Professor Ichihara is a woman of fine, understated taste. A large bookcase is situated behind the Professor’s desk and filled with many books on subjects ranging from Alchemy all the way to Magizoology, as well as a few small knick-knacks that reside in this bookshelf, and some strange curious gathered from different countries like a white mug that might still feel alien to those who lack an education in Muggle Science Fiction.

A gentle ticking can be heard from the wall clock, which upon closer inspection is revealed to not only count seconds, minutes and hours, but also keeps track of the tide and the phases of the moon. A Family Heirloom.

Come and take a seat, the Professor doesn’t bite.

Rather sooner than later, naturally.

She slipped aside, opening her door wide. "Will you be coming in today?" As much as Nana wished this could be simple, she sincerely doubted this was a casual visit.
Hadley stood and placed the magazine back in the spot it had been. It might not have been perfect, but it was as close as the girl could get it. She nodded her head to Nana. "Professor Ichihara. Did you have a nice summer?" Hadley didn't so please don't ask... The brand new thirteen year old nodded. "Yes, I will. Thank you."

It was really the smile that gave her away. While the rest of her was maintaining this calm demeanor, her smile was bristling with barely contained energy and excitement. This was it. This was the moment she'd been waiting for. Not for the last year, mind you. But since she was five. Since the idea of being able to shift into animal first rooted itself deep in her imagination. This was it. She hoped.

Hadley entered and took a seat. "I think you know why I'm here." It was pretty obvious and Professor Ichihara was quite smart. "Last year you said we would see about the possibility of starting Animagus training this year." She reiterated mostly to show Nana that she was aware that this wasn't a guarantee, only an assessment, or whatever, to decide whether or not Hadley would be able to start training this term.

That said...please don't crush her dream on her birthday.

"I... I did, I spent my summer in Tokyo with friends, it's a lovely city." Despite certain things that had occurred during her summer that had... perhaps tainted the memories a bit for the Professor. This, however, was not the time to consider those sorts of things. Sitting herself behind her desk, Nana surveyed the young girl carefully as ever. She had matured, she had grown, but there was much more yet for the girl to learn.

"I do." Nana responded easily, taking up her quill and twirling it between her fingers. "I did." Her voice held a calm warmth, but her eyes were dark. This was not going to be a very easy conversation. "Miss Denaker, though you have shown improvement and grown over this past year, I'm afraid to say it is not sufficient. You have yet more to learn, more to grow and though your attitude toward myself has much changed... I see that the same cannot be said for others who hold my position." Yes, she was speaking of the obvious disrespect for Professor Draper.

"on these grounds and on the grounds of your still underdeveloped magical ability... I am afraid... I cannot bring you into my tutorship." Internally, the Japanese woman sighed, but her features, though calm, held resolve. "You may state your case, if you wish, Miss Denaker, but I am not easily swayed, as you know."

That same defiance from last year sparked in her expression. Then just as quickly it drained from her, leaving a simple girl who looked too exhausted to fight. For a long while she sat quietly, searching for the words. "I..."

She paused, as if reconsidering what to say. "You said we'd see. Last year you promised that." Her eyes were more focused on the Professor's neat and tidy desk. Part of her really wanted to mess it up just then. "But you haven't seen anything. You haven't given me the chance to show you I'm capable of. To prove myself to you. You seem to already have made up your mind," before she even got there, just FYI. "So...in that way, you lied."

Oh yes, make no mistake. That was a challenge.

There was still so much more the girl wanted to say, but whether or not she said them would depend on how Professor Ichihara responded.

Nana had expected this. She had expected a fight and though half of her would have been disappointed had the young girl attempted to prove herself, the other half was far too concerned with the young woman's accusations.

"I did not lie." She said. "I told you I would take into account your actions, your growth and your maturity and I would give you an answer within the year. Miss Denaker, you take my words and you twist them." Nana sternly reprimanded, unable to keep the steel from her voice. "Through your actions over the course of the last two years you have shown me time and again, your lack of responsibility, and a lack of respect for authority, did you think I didn't notice? How you speak to Professor Draper? How you behave when you feel the people around you are not up to your standards? It is not only your ability which I need proof of, I will not reward you for misbehaving as you see fit." She reached down into her desk, taking up a shiny silver metal pen and a large file with Miss Denaker's name on the cover.

"Why do you jump to the idea that I attempt to hinder and lie to you? Where does this distrust come from?" Nana asked. She was reminded of Daxton Prince, Aslan Evans and Suri Rider. Of other children in other schools with eyes wide and angry. With her wand she waved over a china pot before conjuring two china cups for tea. She slid one over to Haddie. "What would you like?" This was meant to be a civil visit, after all.

There was a sparkle of the fighter in her eye for just a second, then like before, it was gone. This was not how she saw her birthday going. She wanted to argue, but what was the point? Even though Professor Ichihara hadn't said those things last year, and had merely told the girl they would "see," it wasn't worth arguing. She'd only lose that fight anyway. But the Professors insistence was doing very little to convince her.

Hadley opened her mouth for a long time as if she was trying to find the right words while she stared at the wall. "You're right that I don't respect Drapes. Respect is something to be earned. And it is something that should be showed in a real and genuine way. Not through some choreographed, fake, song and dance number. It's not real. It's just going through empty motions because you're told to. None of that is real. Draper does that song and dance to everyone, but you're a fool if you think that's him actually showing you respect or actually respecting you. He respects no one but himself. And I'm sorry, I can no more be your monkey putting on a fake smile and act as I can actually respect that man." She let her voice drop off, as if recollecting her thoughts, but after a few minutes she gave up.

Hadley narrowed her eyes and furrowed her brow in confusion at the question of distrust. She barely understood what the Professor was talking about let alone knew how to answer. And Ichihara had a file on her? A big file. Was this something the woman did for everyone? Or was she a special case? Finally, Hadley just sighed and gave the woman a shrug. "I don't," she offered. It was just that from Hadley's point of view, Professor Ichihara had lied. Or at the very least, wasn't keeping to her promise.

"Uh..." What would she like? "I'd like for people to stop expecting me to be someone I'm not. Or worse, trying to make me into someone I'm not." The expression on Hadley's face clearly showed she put Nana into at least one of those categories. After a minute she said, "You know I'm never gonna be person you expect me to be, right? I'm never gonna fit that little checklist of maturity of yours. And there are more than one type of maturity anyway, and...Just water, will be fine." The girl looked more exhausted than anything.

With a small nod, Nana gestured for the young man to follow her into her office. "I believe we have quite a bit to go over, Mister Prince."
Having decided to keep hold of the puzzle for now... or for a little longer than that, he had not decided yet... Daxton had stood and entered the office behind Ichihara. Though it did not require more than one visit for him to memorise and mentally catalogue any place in his mind, the frequent meetings held in this office had afforded Daxton a sense of familiarity every time he crossed the threshold.

Rather than immediately take a seat by the desk, Daxton, still turning the puzzle over in his hands, instead crossed the office to go to the bookcase, which always drew his attention. This time he took the opportunity to really look at its contents, scanning over the titles and looking for something that might be of interest. Even as he appeared occupied by all the books, he kept Ichihara within his range of vision, never once turning his back to her, and tracking her movements carefully out of the corner of his eye, waiting to see what she would do, how she would respond. And maybe, just maybe, trying to work out what his next power play against her would be.

In a life practically ruled by chronic ennui, Daxton was willing to find entertainment wherever he could get it, and some of the adults in his life were a surefire source. Unluckily for Ichihara, she had been identified as one of those adults by the troublesome Daxton Prince.
