You’re more likely to meet Professor Newton inside the Student Lab, experimenting on his own lab bench, set up in the front. But if you wish to speak to him within his office, you need only knock on his door. He might be in there, he might not, but whilst you wait, just take a seat and read one of his magazines, both on muggle and magical subjects.
OOC: Please follow the link above to the Waiting Room, post your character knocking at the door, and we will reply ASAP. It make things easier for me to follow this way.
"Oh absolutely! I'd be delighted to come and see you play Quidditch," he said with a smile. He quite enjoyed quidditch, his own son Johan playing whilst he was at Hogwarts too.
Art was glad the plan was approved by Miss Denaker. It was of her benefit, of course, so Art was wanting to be flexible, he wanted to teach her what she wanted to learn, rather than a boring curriculum he planned. But she seemed happy with the plan, and that was good. "Thursdays still work perfectly! I'm here Monday mornings and uhh... yes still Thursdays and Friday afternoons after lunch are my bigger free periods. So if you need any other help I'll be floating around."
Hadley smiled brightly. "Awesome!" The more people in the stands supporting her, with an understanding of Quidditch, the better. She was utterly excited for this now. "I'll owl you the details."
She also was excited for the tutoring as it was especially geared to her wish to be an animagus. She was determined now to end this year being decent at potions. "Thank you, Professor. I'll see you Thursday then?" And she was definitely planning on coming to him for help in between tutoring sessions. With homework and questions. Like was said, she was determined this year. She got up and made her way to the door. "Thanks again, Professor."
Sorry it took so long guys <3 RL hasn't been very nice.

"If you want something badly enough you have to work for it." Nothing good comes easy.
"That's one of the amazing things about any animal, isn't it professor? No matter how well you think you know one you can never fully be sure as to what they'll do in a particular situation." Hady would've never expected Madame Curie to come closer when she had been in her animal form but the small rat had. Just like right now she didn't expect what happened next. All she really thought was that Madame Curie would either turn away or possibly sniff her hand. That was all. What she got was better. Slowly little feet lifted up off the floor and then there was the tiniest sniff at her fingers before one of the smallest little paws was placed on her palm.
EEEHHHHH! How CUTE!
The grin on Hady's face was clearly there. "Well hello there Madame Curie," she whispered softly reaching out her free hand and using a finger to lightly pet her head. "I think so too." This was very close to a greeting or handshake. Adorable too.
"Indeed you do," Art said, with a gesture of pointing a finger up towards the ceiling. Very true words right there.
Art nodded, and leaned back on the desk. "That's very true Miss Lynch." It was a bit frightening if they acted in a surprising way when it put you at danger, but Art hoped neither he, nor Miss Lynch, would ever be in that situation. "Are you taking Care of Magical Creatures?" he asked. It wasn't something he really knew about most of the students, what subjects they were taking, unless of course they were Gryffindors.
He watched with a big smile on his face as Miss Lynch and Madame Curie interacted. "I think you've both made a new friend." The sight made the Potions Master very happy. His rat baby and one of his top students getting along so well. "I wonder if-if Madame Curie senses the new animal part of you.. err-well the animagi part of you. Perhaps she's more trusting of you..." it was a though that just popped into his mind, and he verbalised it. Perhaps it was purely that Madame Curie was now familiar with Miss Lynch's face, and therefore opened her trust, or perhaps it had something to do with the transformation.

Wow. This place is toasty. Not quite tropical warm but very nice. Also there seems to be a subtle aroma around here that was hard to define. Potions? Dungeons? Proximity to 'ol Bartholomew? Slytherin patented perfume? arent they always trending something In any case, its a given and he's long accepted that #DungeonLife
But oh tea! "Tea would be awesome Sir thanks-- oh do you want me to make the same blend as last time? Or do you want another mix?"
Also, it is his first time to be in this office, and there are LOTS of things to see and distract him with as he is already, so where are them tea things?
"Oh well err.. t-thank you for the visit!" Art replied. Always happy for a visit, he was.
He thought about that... "Hmm... m-maybe something different? I'm always wanting to try new things." He got his tea ingredients out, and the boiling kettle, and some mugs. He went over to his desk to retrieve his glasses, and he put them on. He felt calm when watching other people set about doing every day tasks, like cooking, or brewing tea, and especially watching people brew potions. "How is your day going?" he asked, not wanting to just stand there staring at what Mr Salander was doing.

She was for a first year even small so she just needed to be patient she realized.
Following the professor in his office she finally looked around her and spoke out loud before even realizing that she was doing it. "Wow, this really doesn't look like the muggle offices I've been in" and she looked around her once again, spotting Vlam's play date Madame Curie and by the reaction from Vlam she noted that her rat too had spotted the other animal because her rat started to make all short of impatient small noises. Walking over to Madame Curie she slowly put her own rat next to the other animal and watched with a grin how Vlam walked up toward Madame Curie to smell the other rat's scent and to greet the other animal.
Turning back to face the professor she flashed a grin at him and looked questioningly. "Whaaat where you doing before I came here? You weren't doing potions here right? It's too neat" she spoke, sounding curious like she most of the time was. Yeeees, she liked asking questions.
"Hello," Art replied to Miss Griffel with a warm smile as she entered the office. Art looked around, mirroring what Miss Griffel was doing, letting out a soft chuckle. "No, it doesn't does it? My office at the muggle university where I-I used to teach Chemistry was much more plain and boring." He loved his Hogwarts Office.
Art also noticed Vlam's reaction, and after a very passing feeling of alarm, he smiled. He realised, a few moments after Miss Griffel, that her dear rat had sensed Madame Curie. He watched, too, as Vlam walked up to his rat, giving a sniff. Madame Curie watched the rat, giving a small sniff, and seemed to relax. It was obvious that she had recognised Vlam. "Just like old friends," he observed.
What had he been doing moments before? He looked over to his desk, which was neat, before remembering. "Oh, oh I was just looking over some things from the hospital I worked at in Norway, where I did my healing training. I'm on the-the board of-of clinical trials there." He wasn't sure if the subject was boring for the young Slytherin. Certainly at her age, he would have been bored by it. But in his advanced age, it was fascinating to him. "Would you like a drink? I have hot chocolare or tea."

Art followed her to the door, opening it up for her. "Thursday in the labs," he nodded. "I'll see you then! And it's my pleasure Miss Denaker."

Hopefully everything she had learned about creatures and all that she still had to learn would be enough to keep her out of harms way. One never really truly knew what was in store for them however. "I am Sir, I've been taking it since first year. It's one of my favorite lessons." One of. Hady now had many favorite lessons. She liked them all for different reasons and knew each one offered something special that she was going to need for her future.
The tentative petting of Madame Curie's tiny little head didn't have her running away. This was good and had the teen girl smiling more as she continued the light gesture for the rat. "I think we have." Friends came in all shapes and sizes as well as species. "That's possible and I was hoping it was fact when I began learning to become one. It's been said that animals have a better sense about changes then people do." Just one small reason she had worked so hard in becoming one. She wanted it to help her with becoming a Creature Healer. If the creatures sense they could trust her she would easily be able to take care of more of them.

He wasn't sure if the subject was boring for the young Slytherin. Certainly at her age, he would have been bored by it. But in his advanced age, it was fascinating to him. "Would you like a drink? I have hot chocolare or tea."
"You have teached at a Muggle school?" She asked surprised, why would he want to do such a thing? She herself absolutely refused to EVER go back to her own school and the professor just said that he had worked there? Why? Had he been forced? But he was a adult so that couldn't be it... Looking frowning at that she shook her head, she simply couldn't understand why he had done it, Muggle schools were boring! "Well, I agree that those offices are boring, I've seen reaaaly a lot different Muggle offices" she said carefully, not sure if it was smart to explain too much about that subject in the presence of another teacher, wizard or not.
She watched the two rats like the professor and nodded, "Vlam doesn't have much friends here, much of the other kids are having owls or even cat's as pets and I don't want Vlam to be near them" she told the professor while walking over to the two rats and stuck out her hand so that not only Flam could smell her fingers but Madame Curie too.
Listening to what the professor told her about what he had been doing she shrugged, it sounded boring and she hoped that it wasn't something she needed to learn too anytime soon here at Hogwarts. Not looking interested at all she nodded while suddenly smiling widely. One of the things she loved beside candy was hot chocolare! "Yes please! Can i have a hot chocolare?" She asked eagerly.
Art grinned. "Good! I look forward to it. What colours should I wear, then?" He didn't want to come dressed in the colours of the opposing team, obviously, and wearing the colours of Miss Denaker's team would be the way to go, he thought. It was something he would definitely look forward to.
Art followed her to the door, opening it up for her. "Thursday in the labs," he nodded. "I'll see you then! And it's my pleasure Miss Denaker."
"Oh!" Of course, colors. Good question Professor. "Well, assuming I'm on the same team next summer, our team colors are violet and gold. But, if I am on a different team," she shrugged, "I'll owl you and let you know."
Hadley nodded and smiled. "See you Thursday." She was looking forward to it.

Ohh so there be the teaware. The Curly Top grinned when the Potions Master said he'd like to try something new. And look at them variety of tea leaves eh eh? Oh boy he cant wait....
So with the tea kettle all a-heating, the leonine lad started rifling through the tea tins. Oh his base would still be Rooibos, because Rooibos is awesome "My day has gone excellent Sir, was just mirroring with my Mum and Dad....." he started as he grabs a bit of blackcurrant and raspberry bits and drops them in with the Rooibos "..... we were swapping stories and giving me updates on Mom's condition and well Dad says he'd be contacting you soon." Oh hey Prof's got peaches too? Yep adding that too, should compliment the whole thing. Aaaand toss in some rose petals as well, pull it all together. He took out the kettle which was already steaming at this point and poured it into the French press which had his tea blend in it, allowing them to steep for a few minutes.
He set the tea pot in front of the Professor, which was slowly turning into a nice shade of deep red, almost like wine."Anyway I got so excited, I thought Imma tell you myself and ask you...." Where be the cups and stuffs?...oh there they are "..... My Mum's carrying my little brother.... or sister--" yeah that part he still didnt know, if only his Dad would stop being a troll about that "--and she's due in the Spring!" Which wasnt that far away now. See why he was so giddy? "...And well I was kinda hoping maybe if you'd allow me to go home when the baby comes around?"

Noelle giggled lightly when Professor Newton asked if she was here to see him. Of course she was!! She was in his office! "Well, I would hope so!" she said lightly and with a grin. Heading in, she took a seat.
"Tea would be lovely actually." Noelle had tasted Professor Newton's teas. They were a masterpiece. She would never turn down one.
Now on to other business.
"Professor.. I've come to talk to you about extra help in potions...." Noelle hated to admit that she was awful at something. Especially something that she needed to become an Animagus. She liked to do her best in most things. But alas, she wasn't. Not even close.
"Ive been practicing every chance I get. But I'm just not a natural at potions. And.... I'm hoping maybe.. you could help me? I'm trying to get into the Animagus program his year. And I'm sure you're quite aware that potions is needed. Is there anything you could showe to help me?" Noelle was probably asking too much.... but she needed help.

Art nodded as he listened to Miss Lynch's discussion on animal senses. It was all very fascinating, the world of animals that they humans didn't quite understand. Not completely. "And have you found some-some differences with your senses in animal form?" he asked. He thought it did, but he wasn't too sure. "I mean... d-do you adapt to the animal's instincts or do you still maintain your human ones? Do you find your human senses change now at all?" He was becoming very curious.

"Yes, at a high school actually. It was just part time, and only for a few years." Miss Griffel didn't seem to be very impressed. "Did you go to a muggle school before coming here?" he asked.
Art nodded understandingly. "Madame Curie doesn't either. She's frightened of all the owls and cats, so I keep her away from them. Poor thing. My son has a few rats at home, so she gets to see them when we go back during the holidays. Do you have other animals at home?" It was nice seeing the two rats play together. Now Vlam and Madame Curie weren't alone. Madame Curie was intrigued with the new scent of Miss Griffel's hand, and Art watched her move towards it and sniff at it. She seemed happy with what she found.
Art smiled, trying not to chuckle at the delight of being offered a hot chocolate. "Of course, of course," he said, walking towards his hot drink station and preparing two mugs of hot chocolate. He would have one too, he decided.

Violet and Gold. Good colours. Art would look forward to getting the owl during the summer, and he would definitely be there to cheer her on.
He waved her off and closed the door behind her, walking back to his desk to jot down some more notes on things they could look into for their tutoring sessions.

"Ahh wonderful, I don't know what I'd do without my mirror. It's just a bit nicer than recieving a letter, I think. Although a letter is still good." He got send photos with every letter, but he really did enjoy seeing his children when he spoke with them.
Art looked very serious for a moment. His mother's condition? That was a very broad word, but the healer within him took it to mean something serious. Something wrong. He was about to open his mouth, wondering why he was so calm, when Mr Salander said she was pregnant. He sighed in relied. "You're going to be a big brother? That's wonderful," he said as his face broke into a smile. Art nodded, seeing the colour of the tea. He was looking forward to enjoying a cup of it. "In spring? I don't see why not. We-we've got the Easter holidays coming up and if it's not during the holidays then I can gather the work from your other Professors and owl them to you. Just so that you keep on top of work, I think. But... that sounds achievable. Do you have other siblings?" he asked.

Art, realising what he said, and seeing Miss Summers have a laugh, broke into a chuckle himself. He closed the door after her and, at the acceptance of a tea, went to prepare some. He put a scoop of one of his fruity, sweet teas into the teapot, and placed it on his desk with two mugs. "Just let it brew for a few minutes." He could smell the aromas of apple and pear, rose, berry and mint.
Art listened to Miss Summers. "Some extra help? Of course," he said, smiling again. "We can definitely do that. Have you spoken to Professor Riveroll?" He assumed so, being that she wanted to pursue the animagi program, but he wanted to ask anyway. "Did you have anything specific in mind with what you'd like help in?" Sometimes students had a plan they had thought of already, where as some didn't quite know. He was, of course, happy to help with both scenarios.

Hadleigh wasn't to surprised when Art admitted that Care of Magical Creatures had been his favorite lesson as well or that he had taken it all through at his years at Hogwarts. Most people did happen to like that lesson. There was so much to learn in the world of creatures and new things always seemed to be coming into light. "It really is. There's so much to learn, you're never really finished even when you think you've learned it all."
Talking with her professor always got her to thinking. He was so interested and really asked some good solid questions. "There are some differences yes. When I'm in that form I retain all my own feelings and instincts but I do have the instincts of my animal as well. There are times where I just want to be very lazy and lay about or sit up in a tree... or when I wake in the middle of the night with a need to go out and scamper about. That's 'her' side." It was strange yes but it was there. Sometimes the feeling was much stronger then others and it wasn't always easy to understand but she was learning.

"What's your favourite animal you've handled in the class so far?" he asked, with interest. He couldn't remember that far back to his school days. But he vaguely remembered Nifflers and Unicorns.
Art grinned. "And those are new things?" he asked, referring to Miss Lynch's desire to be lazy and lay about or sit up in a tree. He let out a chuckle. "That's fascinating. Are you more confident in those things, like-like climbing trees now, after your transformation?" He was also fascinated by how she was speaking of 'her' side.

Are you more confident in those things, like-like climbing trees now, after your transformation?" He was also fascinated by how she was speaking of 'her' side.
Hadleigh couldn't help the small laugh that fell from her lips at this question. "Would it be okay to say all of them? I like all creatures but for different reasons." Okay, so not ALL of them but all minus one. Each had something to offer and she liked that. Somehow though she didn't think this was the right answer and mentally went over all the creatures she could recall having worked with over the years. "The Unicorns were really different to work with, so were the Hippogriffs and Crups."
"I believe so. Keeping myself overly busy was always how I did things." Way to busy was actually more her style. "Well I used to climb trees but not since I was younger really so I would suppose so." Nature had always soothed her and she had always felt at peace when out in it so maybe that was one reason for her Red Panda transformation.

"Yes, at a high school actually. It was just part time, and only for a few years." Miss Griffel didn't seem to be very impressed. "Did you go to a muggle school before coming here?" he asked.
Art nodded understandingly. "Madame Curie doesn't either. She's frightened of all the owls and cats, so I keep her away from them. Poor thing. My son has a few rats at home, so she gets to see them when we go back during the holidays. Do you have other animals at home?" It was nice seeing the two rats play together. Now Vlam and Madame Curie weren't alone. Madame Curie was intrigued with the new scent of Miss Griffel's hand, and Art watched her move towards it and sniff at it. She seemed happy with what she found.
Art smiled, trying not to chuckle at the delight of being offered a hot chocolate. "Of course, of course," he said, walking towards his hot drink station and preparing two mugs of hot chocolate. He would have one too, he decided.
If she had been on a muggle school? Wasn’t it obvious that she was new to the wizarding world? “Yes, I’m a Muggle born” she said while looking carefully, she knew very well how some witches and wizards were thinking about Muggles especially in Slytherin and to be honest, she agreed with most of the kids who were talking bad about Muggle but she was better AND different, she wasn’t a Muggle anymore, no… She was a witch now so she was better! “Hogwarts is the first magical school I’ve ever seen in my life” she confessed, “so believe me when I tell you that Hogwarts is much better than some of the schools I’ve seen” she said with a frown.
Walking back toward the professor she pushed her hands in her pockets and looked up at the teacher, “Yes, my mum has a dog called Boomer at home but she’s old and I don’t think that she will be there when I’m going home again” she spoke calmly about it, she liked the dog but… She was prepared for the animal to not be there.
A grin appeared on her lips when the professor started preparing the hot chocolate and she walked eager toward him because, who didn’t liked hot chocolate? “Are you a pureblood?” She suddenly asked while raising one of her smaller eyebrows and she looked curious.
Let your light shine || Be the sun || You're important. Always.

He put a scoop of one of his fruity, sweet teas into the teapot, and placed it on his desk with two mugs. "Just let it brew for a few minutes." He could smell the aromas of apple and pear, rose, berry and mint.
Art listened to Miss Summers. "Some extra help? Of course," he said, smiling again. "We can definitely do that. Have you spoken to Professor Riveroll?" He assumed so, being that she wanted to pursue the animagi program, but he wanted to ask anyway. "Did you have anything specific in mind with what you'd like help in?" Sometimes students had a plan they had thought of already, where as some didn't quite know. He was, of course, happy to help with both scenarios.
Did Noelle mention that she loved Professor Newton's tea? Because she did. She remembered the exact moment that she first tasted his tea. The Gryffindor party, at the beginning of the term. So waiting a few minutes was sorta torturous.
Yes!!! He was willing. Noelle's mouth spread into a wide grin and she felt.... hopeful that she might actually be able to do this animagus training.
"I have. I need to have strong potion skills. Which, as you know, I have mediocre ones. I need to strengthen these. I have been doing potions and other training any time I can muster. " She wanted him to know that this was important to her. "Im not sure actually. I was hoping you would be able to help me with this. I do, however, have a potion that a sibling of mine gave me that has gone through the animagus program and succeeded." Noelle mentioned to Professor Newton.
Noelle went into her pocket and pulled out a folded up piece of paper that you could see had been opened and folded many times. "Its a transformation potion. Ive done it a few times. Each time was successful." She added.

Art looked very serious for a moment. His mother's condition? That was a very broad word, but the healer within him took it to mean something serious. Something wrong. He was about to open his mouth, wondering why he was so calm, when Mr Salander said she was pregnant. He sighed in relied. "You're going to be a big brother? That's wonderful," he said as his face broke into a smile. Art nodded, seeing the colour of the tea. He was looking forward to enjoying a cup of it. "In spring? I don't see why not. We-we've got the Easter holidays coming up and if it's not during the holidays then I can gather the work from your other Professors and owl them to you. Just so that you keep on top of work, I think. But... that sounds achievable. Do you have other siblings?" he asked.
Yup he be a big bother soon! Tenacius nodded his head excitedly. It was a different thrill anticipating the arrival of his baby sib. He had a sip of their latest blend “Mmmm… I think some cinnamon might go well with this, maybe some apple too...” Mental note taken.
Oh! Oh oh oh! Professor actually gave him permission, and then some. “Thank you Professor Newton!!” the leonine lad beamed happily. “Oh you’d send my school work for me too? Thank you Sir!” so looks like he wouldnt need to pester Mel and Sammy to send him school work. Not that he would’ve pestered them to send him unanswered homework ahem. Cant wait to tell Mom and Dad woot!
But full stop. Head honcho man asked about other siblings. He opened his mouth, closed it, opened it again then decided to just drink his tea. Such a simple question, but for the Salanders, such a sensitive topic. “Uhmmmm….” he could simply say no, the easy way out, just as he’s been doing with his classmates when they’d ask him about sibling matters. But this was his new Head of House, and the teacher of his favorite subject, and it didnt sit well in him to lie, specially the man being so generous with his time and attention. He sipped again, breathing in deep the wonderful aroma of freshly brewed tea “Uhmmm…. I was a twin.” he murmured, almost unsure to say something so secret outside of the confines of his home “Dad doesnt like talking about it, but I remember… bits and pieces… I definitely shared a crib….” because the presence of a twin, nothing can erase that, not even with the years of conscious forgetfulness “There are….. pictures of my Mom-- my birth mom, and my Dad, the day I was born, and there were two…..” baby bundles in their arms that is. “Its not that Dad doesnt want me having them, he showed them to me when we got talking about before……” before their life with Emmy, his new mom “But I can see-- I can feel-- how very sad it makes him, so I didnt want to bring it up with him again.” even if he wanted to. A phantom twin was not easy to forget, specially growing up alone for 14 years. He looked up at the Professor and just shrugged, then affixed that charming grin that he’s so well known for, like a ray of sunshine piercing a dark cloud “What about you Professor? How big is your family?” given the man’s age, and that theres another Professor Newton in Hogwarts, he could guess the Potions Master would have grandkids by now?

Harvey found himself in front of Professor Newton's office. As he stood in front of the door, he realised he wasn't quite sure why he was there.
There were vials, and someone talking to him - wait, Professor Newton must have been the one talking to him! - and then... well, he must have asked Harvey to come here, otherwise why would Harvey be here?
Proud of his deductive powers, he knocked on the door.
Then he noticed the stack of magazines. Including Muggle magazines. Fascinating!

He enjoyed each lesson, working with all of the animals, and it seemed so did Miss Lynch. "Unicorns, yes, they're definitely one of my favourite animals. Very amazing when I saw one for the first time." He hadn't even known they were real until his older brother had gone off to Hogwarts.
Art couldn't help but have a pang of worry for his student, who had said she usually kept herself overly busy. "Well, as long as you get things in that you enjoy. And-and have some down time, take care of yourself." He would hate any of his students, but particularly his seventh year students, to become overwhelmed at this time. Her next comment got a nice chuckle, as the memories of his childhood came back to him.

Miss Griffel was a muggle-born too? Art smiled at her, completely oblivious to the carefulness in her voice. "Oh no, no, I'm-I'm a muggle-born too. My three brothers are also wizards but..." he shrugged, "Not a drop of magic in my parent's blood. So I can c-certainly empathise with you about the change from the muggle world to the wizarding world. It took a little while for me to settle in back in my first year." He had of course had his older brother's help in the matter, but it didn't help that they were all Ravenclaws and he was the lone Gryffindor of the family. He smiled gently at her comments about Hogwarts being much better than some of the other schools. "Well, it's the best school I've worked in, for sure." And that was no lie.
Art's smile fell when Miss Griffel opened up about the pet dog she had at home. "Oh... oh I'm sorry to hear. It's a devastating thing, losing a fury member of the family." Art placed the hot chocolate in front of her, hoping it was a nice pick-me-up for both of them.
SPOILER!!: Noelle

He nodded, as he listened, not about her having mediocre skills in potion, but just a general nod of listening. "Oh-oh good, yes I'd have suggested just to keep practicing bits and pieces, get your techniques sorted. Even the smallest things like uhh... like cutting the ingredients exactly as needed, even being so precise as to use a ruler or something to help. And... and a thermometer to ensure it's at a correct temperature and.. hmm.. and measure the time you think a slow stir would be and check with the potion text to ensure it's the same time. Little techniques to really sharpen up." That was one suggestion, which he could help her with too. Those little things could make a big difference.
Art took the paper Miss Summers handed him and read through it. "Ahh, well.. would you like us to brew this one together? And we can try to focus on fine tuning those little skills."
And at that moment, he poured the tea!

Art let the mouthful swirl around before gulping it down. "Cinnamon and apple, yes, yes that would be perfect! You know, Mr Salander, your tea skills are superiour!" Art would have to go to him for new tea brew ideas soon. Delicious tea suggestions.
Art grinned at the young Lion who appeared very happy. "Of course, of course. Family is a very important thing. Very important! I'll offer all the help I can to get you home." Art's grin fell as soon as he caught wind of the change of emotional energy. He wasn't one to pick up on these things, but the current change was a big one. And Art soon knew why. "Oh, dear boy... I'm very sorry. Very sorry, that's awful." He truly felt saddened by this news. Especially not being able to speak with his father about it. "Well if.. if you err e-ever need to talk about it in more detail... I'm here." He wouldn't know what help he could be, but listening was sometimes all someone needed. And he had big ears to listen with.
Sensing a change of focus from Mr Salander to Art, he put a smile back on his face. "Very big, I have three brothers, three children, a granddaughter, she was just born last year. Little Liesel. And I have a lot of nieces and nephews. Of course you know Rosie-oh P-Professor Newton I suppose, and lots of grand-nieces and nephews," he said with a chuckle. He was very much a family man, the Potions Professor was.

Art was glad to see the young man. "Mr Jarvis, come in," he said, placing a hand on the young Ravenclaw's back to usher him in. He guided him over to a chair and poured him a glass of water. "Drink this," he said, and sat down. He took off his glasses, placing them on the desk in front of him, and rubbed at his eyes. He used all of the concentration in his mind to try and remember what exactly Mr Jarvis had done. "D-do you remember brewing the potion in class just now?" he asked.

Choosing a favorite creature was like choosing her favorite lesson or food now. It was tough to do. Narrowing it down to a favorite one she had worked with in CoMC didn't help all that much. Being a seventh year meant she had worked with MANY creatures over the years. Each one wonderful in it's own way. "They require such a high level of trust but are so gentle when you can meet one." Beautiful really. Much faster then she would've thought too had she not gotten to ride one during a lesson years ago.
Hadleigh smiled warmly at Art nodding her head, she could almost hear the worry in his voice. "I do professor. I'm not as busy as I used to be." It had taken her a long time but she had learned how to manage her time much more effectively.

Why hadn't Noelle brought a quill and parchment??

She tended to get sloppy in a hurry to finish the potion. Something you couldn't do in Potions. Patience and being precise is what it took to be good in potions.
She watched as she he took the piece of paper and looked it over. YES! Professor Newton and her making a potion together, this potion.
Ah yes! And the tea was here. This was beginning to be a bit of a brilliant meeting.
"I would love to brew this potion with you sir. I didnt bring my supplies though.' Thugh, she was sure he wouldnt have any problems sparing his. "Mind if we use yours? I can scourgify it." Because that was the first step to any potion of course.

They could go into his office. The minute he said this Natalia went ahead and walked in looking around. "I don't think I've ever been in here professor. Probably a good thing though, dont' want to be in someone's office to much. People might think I'm a trouble maker or a brown nosier, which would be worse. No one needs to think I kiss butt or anything, because I don't. Nope, not me. Maybe Miranda here." She was talking a mile a minute, but she chuckled at the younger girl near her. As they moved further into the office.
"So, we have been in the potion lab and we took the two potions like I said we would. You know the babbling potion." Did all her talking make sense now. "I asked Miranda to join me so I could have a second opinion on the taste as well. So we took the first one that had the regular ingredients and then we did the second one with the extra two that you had given. We have our notes here if you'd like to see them."
Yes, this was a fun project and now Natalia was ready for it to start wearing off because she wasn't someone to talk nearly this much and it was exhausting.

Harvey was led into a room and placed in a chair. He wasn't sure he had much control over this decision. And then he got a glass of water. Water was good.
There was a question.
"Class?" he asked, confused. He remembered vials. Why were there vials. Oh, was that the class?!
"I drank my vial!" he remembered that. "But it had bits in it. It was hard to swallow. Not the best thing," he made a face at the memory.
They could go into his office. The minute he said this Natalia went ahead and walked in looking around. "I don't think I've ever been in here professor. Probably a good thing though, dont' want to be in someone's office to much. People might think I'm a trouble maker or a brown nosier, which would be worse.

Yes, this was a fun project and now Natalia was ready for it to start wearing off because she wasn't someone to talk nearly this much and it was exhausting.
Miranda followed them into the office and tried desperately to stifle the giggles and the word vomit from bursting forth. It was really quite hilarious to watch Natalia talking a mile a minute.. Most of it was understandable.. Other parts not so much, but only because she was talking so fast..
Here and there she nodded her ascension to what was being explained and .... Hey! Wait a minute!! she was no suck up !... Miranda's hands went to her hips... Anyone that knew her knew that she wasn't a brown noser.. If anything she had no problems saying how it was or if she was upset ..
" I'm not a brown noser.. I don't go around doing extra stuff... Well, except for my reading... But that's not being a butt kisser..." she really did think that was crappy... Afterall.. Nat didn't know her that well.. " I've never been to a professor's office either... I'm only here because you asked for help trying that potion so you could get my opinion.."
Geeze... Randa didn't know why this was bothering her so much... Maybe it was the Hufflepuff in her, but.. She only ever wanted to make friends and maybe have an older girl to talk about stuff with... She hoped Nat wasn't being serious and maybe was just joking or whatever... but for some reason this hit a nerve and she fell silent.. Feeling way smaller than normal..

Hadleigh smiled warmly at Art nodding her head, she could almost hear the worry in his voice. "I do professor. I'm not as busy as I used to be." It had taken her a long time but she had learned how to manage her time much more effectively.
"Ahh yes they do too," Art said, remembering that fact. It had been a very long time since he had seen a unicorn, unfortunately. But he wasn't as adventurous as he used to be when he and his friends would dare each other to venture into the Forbidden Forest. No, he wouldn't be doing that now.
Miss Lynch's words reassured the man, and his face relaxed. "Good, I'm-I'm glad to hear. It's not nice when we get too burnt out, but it does happen. Particularly around exam time. H-how are you going with your preparation for NEWTs?" he asked gently.

Art sipped at his tea, feeling the calming effect almost immediately. Something about tea... yes he did love it.
Art smiled at Miss Summers, and let out a bit of a chuckle. "Not to worry, I won't make you walk all the way to the Gryffindor common room to get your supplies. I have plenty here." He looked back over the paper and nodded, "And all of the ingredients, yes." It always helped to have the right ingredients, of course. "Do you have any skills in particular you feel you struggle with more than others?" he asked. If so, they could work on those at the same time.

Hopefully Natalia would get the hint that she was pretty much there as a tiny sidekick at this point.. It was no secret that Miranda was not great at potions.. So, why would she be the one to do the talking when it came to all the potion talk?
Art smiled at Miss Blaze, and he was glad to hear she was fine. "Ahh that sounds very interesting! I'd love to hear about it."
SPOILER!!: Nat and Randa

No one needs to think I kiss butt or anything, because I don't. Nope, not me. Maybe Miranda here." She was talking a mile a minute, but she chuckled at the younger girl near her. As they moved further into the office.
"So, we have been in the potion lab and we took the two potions like I said we would. You know the babbling potion." Did all her talking make sense now. "I asked Miranda to join me so I could have a second opinion on the taste as well. So we took the first one that had the regular ingredients and then we did the second one with the extra two that you had given. We have our notes here if you'd like to see them."
Yes, this was a fun project and now Natalia was ready for it to start wearing off because she wasn't someone to talk nearly this much and it was exhausting.

Here and there she nodded her ascension to what was being explained and .... Hey! Wait a minute!! she was no suck up !... Miranda's hands went to her hips... Anyone that knew her knew that she wasn't a brown noser.. If anything she had no problems saying how it was or if she was upset ..
" I'm not a brown noser.. I don't go around doing extra stuff... Well, except for my reading... But that's not being a butt kisser..." she really did think that was crappy... Afterall.. Nat didn't know her that well.. " I've never been to a professor's office either... I'm only here because you asked for help trying that potion so you could get my opinion.."
Geeze... Randa didn't know why this was bothering her so much... Maybe it was the Hufflepuff in her, but.. She only ever wanted to make friends and maybe have an older girl to talk about stuff with... She hoped Nat wasn't being serious and maybe was just joking or whatever... but for some reason this hit a nerve and she fell silent.. Feeling way smaller than normal..
Art chuckled at Miss Franks-Mundie's comment. "Well I don't tend to do a lot of telling off, so... it's generally a safe place. I'd like to think so, anyway." He very rarely asked students to see him in his office to tell them off. It just wasn't his method. He scratched his forehead, wondering how on earth he would keep up with what she was saying. He just gave a nervous little chuckle, wondering exactly what potion they had tried. And then he had a lightbulb moment. The Babbling Beverage. His nervous chuckle turned into a laugh of glee. It appeared it had worked! He hoped they had been having fun with the babbling. But then something Miss Franks-Mundie said seemed to catch Miss Blaze up short. For obvious reasons. "Uhh- okay, okay, Miss Franks-Mundie... let's not go making assumptions," he said nervously. "No, Miss Blaze, I don't think you are a... a... posterior kisser or brown noser at all. I don't think Miss Franks-Mundie was saying you were," he hoped not anyway. He was keen to get them not to focus on that, because that meant drama, and drama was something Art always backed away from. "And thank you, Miss Blaze, for helping. I hope you l-learned something new."
By the time she started talking about the Babbling potion, he nodded, having guessed what they had been consuming. "Ahh fantastic, of course," he replied, to her wanting to bring Miss Blaze along too. He was happy to hear that. And then... of course... they had taken two doses. Art found it quite humorous, knowing that it was quite safe if not... very babble-worthy. "Yes, those notes would be good. Excellent. Err could I get either of you a glass of water or some tea?" All that talking must be making their mouths quite dry. "Tell me about your findings, what did you notice different betwen the two?"

There was a question.
"Class?" he asked, confused. He remembered vials. Why were there vials. Oh, was that the class?!
"I drank my vial!" he remembered that. "But it had bits in it. It was hard to swallow. Not the best thing," he made a face at the memory.
"B-bits? Did you strain your potion before putting it in the vials?" he asked. Great Scott. This was giving him flashbacks of the time Miss Denaker aged in reverse. The yound lad did seem rather confused, and Art sat down to be at his level. He didn't want to be looking over the yound Ravenclaw.

Miss Lynch's words reassured the man, and his face relaxed. "Good, I'm-I'm glad to hear. It's not nice when we get too burnt out, but it does happen. Particularly around exam time. H-how are you going with your preparation for NEWTs?" he asked gently.
She smiled nodding her head. If she could be around another Unicorn she would certainly take up the chance. Amazing beautiful creatures they were. If she could probably own one someday she would but that was very highly unlikely. Honestly she'd own just about any creature if given the chance and resources to do so properly. Such a creature lover was she. This was one of the top reasons for her wanting to become a healer for them...all the creatures she would get to see and work with.
"Yes, Sir, I've learned my lesson very well on overdoing things." Sadly it had cost her someone very close to her for a few months last term but in the end it might've just been the best thing for her. For them. That situation was cleared up now though and things were wonderful, including the way she balanced out her time and activities. "I'm doing well with my studying. With my lessened class load that helps a lot as well. I also have a few less extra activities this term also. So managing my time is much easier." When she was studying that's all she was doing. Nothing could get in the middle of her study time and that's how she liked it.

Harvey watched his Professor change position. They were talking about vials. Harvey was under the impression that they'd been talking about vials for a long time now.
"I don't know," he shrugged. Vials were boring.
"Do you sing?" Harvey asked. Singing was far more interesting than vials.
Let your light shine || Be the sun || You're important. Always.

Art sipped at his tea, feeling the calming effect almost immediately. Something about tea... yes he did love it.
Art smiled at Miss Summers, and let out a bit of a chuckle. "Not to worry, I won't make you walk all the way to the Gryffindor common room to get your supplies. I have plenty here." He looked back over the paper and nodded, "And all of the ingredients, yes." It always helped to have the right ingredients, of course. "Do you have any skills in particular you feel you struggle with more than others?" he asked. If so, they could work on those at the same time.
Art smiled at Miss Blaze, and he was glad to hear she was fine. "Ahh that sounds very interesting! I'd love to hear about it."

Internally grateful. Noelle did have some supplies of the potion with her. Only because she wanted to try different animals, she was always looking around for a feather or an animal to pull a hair from. She went into her sack and pulled out the hair in a little container. "its a fox hair" She stammered. She's been lucky to find it. Not many foxes ventured onto the grounds. This one had been a little baby.
Hmmm....
"I think my problem is that I know I'm no good at potions, and it keeps me down. I don't have patience. I want the potion to be done NOW." She said, emphasis on the now for the impatience. "So I tend to skim. And I tend to mess up. I caught my brows on fire one time." That had been dreadful. She was partial to her eyebrows. Luckily the nurse had helped regrow her brows. Though, now she had to pluck and wax them because they seemed to grow alarmingly fast.
"Youve seen me in potions class. What do you think I need to work on?" She asked taking a sip of his tea before going to get the ingredients for the potion. Again, impatience came into play.
