Default Seating Area Outside Professor Marchand's Office



If Professor Marchand is with another visitor or otherwise occupied when you come, you're welcome to take a seat and wait for him outside his office. You'll find a couple of black leather sofas and a table scattered with magazines: everything from Witch Weekly to Quidditch International, plus a few muggle magazines too. Across from the sofas is a black sideboard cabinet that houses a coffee maker and a kettle full of hot water. Inside the cabinet doors you'll find cups, stirrers, sugar, cookie straws, and various flavored creamers and syrups to choose from. Don't like coffee? Professor Marchand also keeps a supply of tea and hot cocoa on hand, just in case. Why not help yourself to a warm beverage while you wait?

So take a seat, and Professor Marchand will be with you momentarily. Just remember to KNOCK before entering his office!

OOC: Please post here first and wait to be invited into Professor Marchand's office. I'll answer all replies as soon as I can

Oh, how we drift away from our friends. And the ones back home play remember when

Daisy had gotten very little sleep and it certainly showed. Her usually bright face was blotchy and her eyes were sunken as if the light had been snuffed from within. She needed to talk to her favourite teacher so she knocked on Professor Marchand's office door and sat down.

Abraham Botros Jr. had a request. Actually, part of him knew that it was a request that likely wouldn't be granted, because he wasn't exactly a fantasist actually. Still, it was worth asking anyway, because maybe - just maybe - there was a chance it could be granted. Or... he didn't know, maybe something might come of it. All he knew was that he needed to say something to someone and quick; May wasn't actually that far away, and now he was in his fifth year, those dreaded exams had started to feel a little too close for comfort.

A little while after his last class on the first day back in lessons - which had, by the way, only served to underline the importance of his request - Abra went to his head of house's office. He had waited for some time, just to make absolutely sure he was likely to catch Marchand in there, because he knew that if he knocked and there was nobody in, he was unlikely to have the guts to try again.

Operating fully on a sudden surge of motivation, Abra marched right into the seating area and up to the door and knocked, his knock going from assertive to uncertain in just three raps. Anxiety had already started chewing up his insides, but as long as it wasn't all out panic, he supposed that was okay. He was already regretting ditching his bag in his common room though; Abra liked to clutch at the strap of it as tight as he could when he was anxious, which was most of the time. Today it wasn't so bad, he supposed, thanks to his finally having started taking potions to deal with it, but putting himself into certain situations made it rear its ugly head all over again. He was definitely too on edge to take a seat or anything, so Abra just stood back a little way from the door, shifted from one foot to another, and fiddled with his little fidget cube Derf had got for him a million years ago.

It was a fairly uneventful day so far, and Gaston was taking advantage of the quiet by napping in his office. It had been a long night with the feast and the Gryffindor welcome party. It was a miracle he found time to go home to put his daughter to bed! With everything going on (not to mention his worry about a certain Badger), he'd barely slept at all last night.

Blue eyes snapped open as a knock at the door startled him. He jerked up and hurriedly tried to flatten his hair and adjust his rumpled clothes... anything to hide his sleepless appearance. He opened the door and peered into the seating area to see Daisy waiting. He was hoping she would visit; he was worried about her! "Hello, Daisy," he said, smiling slightly, though his eyes were sad. "Please come in."

OOC: You may post in the office any time.

He was definitely too on edge to take a seat or anything, so Abra just stood back a little way from the door, shifted from one foot to another, and fiddled with his little fidget cube Derf had got for him a million years ago.


The day was almost done, and Gaston was looking forward to his nightly visit with his wife and daughter. But first, he had a few things to finish up... and dinner, of course. The thought crossed his mind to work through dinner so he could get home sooner, but Rose would never let him hear the end of it if she knew he'd been skipping meals again. He was sitting at his desk, halfway through a letter he was writing, when a knock at the door (or three) jerked him out of his thoughts.

He couldn't help but wonder what was going on as he set his quill down. The first knock sounded urgent, but the subsequent ones less so. He wasn't expecting to see Abra on the other side of the door,... well, he wasn't sure who he was expecting, but it was nice to see the boy nonetheless. He gave the Gryffindor captain a smile as he opened the door a bit wider. "Well, this is a pleasant surprise!" he said. "What can I do for you, Abra?"

OOC: Go ahead and post in the office when you're ready.

Rylee hoped it wasn't to soon when she made her way to Marchand's office the following day after lessons. She really didn't want to long least she end up forgetting or something or putting off what she wanted to ask for to long. On her shoulder was her companion Neptune (her rat) and draped over her arm was the red cape she had gotten the night before in the common room party. Her questions mostly had to do with this here cape.

Lifting her hand she knocked lightly on the door before taking a seat on the leather sofa. Hopefully her Head of House was in his office and not to business. Her questions were incredibly important like some other students but they were important to her.

Gaston sat at his desk, absentmindedly twirling his quill between two fingers as he stared at the blank parchment in front of him. He was writing a letter home _ or trying to, anyway. He needed some advice and decided his father was the best person to turn to, but the right words weren't coming.

He realized someone was at the door, not because of the knocking, but because Phantom had jumped off her cat condo and was now meowing and pawing at the door. He shook his head, laughing a little. What had gotten into that crazy cat?! He cracked the door and smiled as he saw Rylee waiting on the sofa. "Hello, Rylee," he greeted. He opened the door a bit wider to let her in, but as soon as he did, Phantom ran into the seating area, hissing and swatting.

"Phantom!" Gaston scolded, but he soon saw the reason for his cat's odd behavior. "You brought your rat?" he said, turning to Rylee,
though the answer was obvious. The question came more from surprise than anything else. He scooped up Phantom and gently set her down on the office floor, quickly closing the door behind him. "Would you mind if we talk out here?"

One second she was sitting on the sofa waiting to see if her professor was in his office and the very next a very fluffy cat was hissing and swatting about running towards her. If that wasn't enough to grab her attention not much else would right about then!

Right away, Rylee hopped up onto her feet rather startled by the cat who she had forgot her professor had in her haste to come speak with him, and cradled in companion in her hands. "Sorry, Professor! I-.. I forgot about Phantom..." It was odd for her really but she was just so excited to speak with him that the thought of the cat had completely slipped her mind. "Sorry, Phantom.." she added quickly right as the cat was being placed back into the office before the door was shut. She hadn't meant to cause any trouble by bringing Neptune along but really he was needed here for as he was part of what she wanted to ask about.

"Not at all, Professor. I won't take up much of your time. I was only hoping you could help me with some charms that might last a bit longer than the ones I currently know now?"

"Not at all, Professor. I won't take up much of your time. I was only hoping you could help me with some charms that might last a bit longer than the ones I currently know now?"
From the moment Gaston closed the office door behind him, he could hear Phantom scratching and meowing on the other side. Poor cat! He would have to give her some fish and lots of petting later to make it up to her. Sorry, Phantom, he thought, glancing apologetically back st the door, but he couldn't have her attacking someone else's pet.

He eyed Rylee with concern. "She didn't scare you, did she?" he asked. "Or your rat?" He didn't want the poor creature's heart to give out from fright! He laughed a little at what was said next. "It's alright... just don't let Phantom hear you forgot about her." His voice dropped as he added, "She likes to think the world revolves around her." As if on cue, the feisty feline behind the door punctuated his comments with a disgruntled meow.

He smiled. "Thank you for understanding." There was no way he could help Rylee with her charms if he was trying to stop a scene from a Tom and Jerry cartoon from playing out in his office! "Of course. Take up as much of my time as you need." Phantom could just deal with it. "What kind of spells did you want to use?" He'd need a bit more information to determine the best alternative.

Rylee was only mildly startled by Phantom's behavior but it was mainly due to having never seen the cat behave that way before. However it wasn't the cats fault she had never been around Neptune which was good for them both! "I'm alright, Professor," she replied softly smoothing her thumb lightly over her companions head. The rat had now managed to burrow himself in the crook of her arm which she had held against her chest. "He's alright. She didn't get to close to him." Close enough where Neptune knew the cat was there but not close enough to harm him. Rylee glanced at the door hearing the noise from the other side and giggled. "I promise to stop by a little later on today and bring you a treat and play with you for a bit if it's okay with Professor Marchand, how does that sound, Phantom?" Why, yes, she was talking to cat through a closed door.

The second year smiled and nodded. Sitting out here in the waiting area and talking wasn't an issue. What she wanted to talk about wasn't anything private anyhow. "Well I was hoping you could teach me how to permanently duplicate this cape," she showed him the red one from the night before. "And if I wanted to change the color would it stay the color I changed it? What if I wanted to shrink it down to fit Neptune here... would it stay that small?" She didn't the charms wearing off or anything. It was mainly the duplication charm she was worried about. Those she knew wore off after so long. "Is there a charm to put a design or something on the cape?" Like an animal or a flower maybe?

"Is there a charm to put a design or something on the cape?" Like an animal or a flower maybe?
Gaston's worried expression turned into a slight smile when Rylee said she and her rat were alright. He eyed the rat burrowed in the crook of her arm. "Sorry about her," he whispered to the creature. "She's not going to hurt you, I promise." There was a loud bang as the door rattled. Phantom was meowing even louder than ever, and Gaston was worried he'd have to shout to be heard over the noise. He barely made out Rylee's next words... something about coming back with a treat for Phantom. At the sound of her words, the banging stopped, and Phantom's meows changed from disgruntled to pleading. Gaston laughed. "I think you just said the magic words," he said. He turned toward the door and said to the cat, "Did you hear that, Phantom? Rylee is going to come back later and give you a treat."

Gaston listened carefully as Rylee explained what she had in mind for the cape, nodding along in places. Oh, so that explained why the rat was here! He smiled. "Well, I must say that's a very cute idea for the cape!" he said, and his voice dropped as he added, "I wonder if Phantom would like her own cape too." He already knew she wouldn't, but it it was fun to imagine.

So... they needed to change the color, size, and design of the cape and find a way to duplicate it. The professor's mind was already formulating a plan. "Unfortunately, all duplication charms will wear off eventually," he said, "but I might have a way to make a cape for Neptune without duplication. Would you mind if we took an inch or two off the bottom of this cape? Then we could cut and sew it into a smaller cape... no need for shrinking or duplication." He paused for a moment. "That was how I made the capes last night, by sewing them from pieces of the cape I had. Sewing charms don't change the makeup of the material itself, so they won't wear off like a duplication charm.."

As if he knew he was being spoken to, Neptune lifted his head and peered around as if looking for Phantom. Rylee giggled lightly petting her companions head. "See, she's gone. You're all safe and unharmed." Nothing would harm her buddy if she could help it. Gently picking Neptune up she settled him down on her shoulder like he enjoyed so he could look around. Aaawww! A bright smile formed on her lips hearing Phantom meow. "I will. Once I go return Neptune to my dorm I'll come back with a treat." And to play with her as well. She loved cats!

"Thanks! I got the idea from Dorian when I ran into over the summer. We talked about little shirts and capes to fit our pets when we were in the creature shop." There hadn't been any that she liked at the time but having the cape from last night in her hands had given her this idea. "Oh! I think she would look lovely! You should make her one and take a photo of her wearing it just in case she's not very happy with it." At least than he would have photographic proof.

The smile on her face faltered hearing there was no permanent duplicating charms. That was seriously unfortunate. Now how would she have one for Neptune, her and some of her friends? Huh? Right away the smile was back as Marchand explained his idea to her. "That would be perfect, professor! That sounds much better than duplicating it!" Neptune was going to have his very own little cape to wear!

Neptune was going to have his very own little cape to wear!
Gaston smiled, nodding as he overheard Rylee's words to Neptune. She was right; nothing was going to harm him as long as Phantom remained behind that door, and since the cat hadn't developed the ability to phase through walls, there was nothing to worry about. His eyes flicked toward the door as Phantom started meowing, not the angry meow from before but a happily demanding one. He jumped slightly as there was a loud thump at the door. He laughed. "I think Phantom's looking for treats," he said. To the black and whiter Persian, he said, "It won't be much longer, Phantom."

He waved his wand, and a couple of long ribbons shot out of its tip and wiggled under the door. "That should keep her busy while we talk," he said. The mention of dressing Phantom up made him laugh out loud. "Not very happy" was a huge understatement! "She'd claw me to shreds if I tried that, but it might be a risk I'm willing to take," he said. "She'd look too cute!" An idea just occurred to him. What if he gave her a black cape and a little fedora to match? Then she'd look like the literary character she was named for!

Gaston's face fell as he saw Rylee's smile falter, but just when he was sure she wouldn't like the idea he had, her smile was back. "Good!" he said with a smile of his own. "Let's get started, shall we?" He examined Rylee's cape. "The first thing to do is cut a couple of inches off the bottom of this cape; we can use a severing charm for this." With a wave of his wand, he summoned a few pieces of parchment from his office. "I'll show you with this; you can practice with the parchment first if you like. Then you can use it on the cape when you're ready."

He held up a square of parchment. "The wand movement for this spell is a V shape with a little tail at the end like this..." He demonstrated the wand movement. "Use the incantation 'Diffindo'..." He moved his wand in the v shape, aimed at the parchment, and repeated the incantation; the piece of parchment tore in half. He handed Rylee another scrap of parchment. "Here, you try it..."

There was no hiding her smile now that she knew she would be returning a little later on to play with Phantom. The cats happy meows making her giggle. "She's a smart kitty to know what we're talking about. I have foxes at home and their somewhat like cats and dogs in temperament. They really love to play and get into most things... or out of things." Her big sister had to reinforce their enclosure more than once and there's safety charms set up all around to keep them safe.

Seeing the ribbons shot out Marchand's wand and wiggle underneath the door for Phantom made her giggle. "That's a cool charm! I bet it comes in handy for more than keeping Phantom entertained?" Like tying things up.. or putting in her hair if she forgot one of her hair ties. Claw him to shreds?! That wasn't good at all... but what if- "Professor, I could help you if you like. It might be easier if I distracted her with treats or ribbons to play with and then you could dress her up and get her photo?!" A little distraction sometimes meant a whole lot.

Rylee saw her Head of House's expression change from a smile to a frown then back again just as her own had. She hadn't meant to confuse him but in those brief moments of time before he had explained his idea she had thought she was out of luck. Now that there was a clear plan of action ahead she was thrilled! They would be using the severing charm. Another useful charm she wanted to learn and get really good at quickly, it was going to come in handy for her plants and flowers to keep them happy and healthy. "Okay. I'll practice first so I don't mess up the cape." Practice makes perfect.

Rylee watched very closely as Marchand showed her both the wand movement and told her the incantation. Nodding she pulled out her own wand reciting the incantation a few times first and practicing the movement. "I think I got it." Taking the scrap of parchment she held it out in front of her aiming her wand at it. "Diffindo!" she tried while moving her wand in the 'v' shape with a little tail at the end. The parchment tore slightly but not all the way as she'd hoped. Not one to quit ever she tried once more this time the parchment tearing in half as it should've the first time.

"I did it!" she exclaimed grinning widely at her professor. Charms was something she was good at.

Taking the scrap of parchment she held it out in front of her aiming her wand at it. "Diffindo!" she tried while moving her wand in the 'v' shape with a little tail at the end. The parchment tore slightly but not all the way as she'd hoped. Not one to quit ever she tried once more this time the parchment tearing in half as it should've the first time.

"I did it!" she exclaimed grinning widely at her professor. Charms was something she was good at.
Gaston couldn't help but smile along with Rylee; his smile grew even wider at her words. She was right, Phantom was a smart cat, always had been! His mind wandered back to the day he got the little black and white Persian... how even as a kitten, she knew when he sad, how she refused to leave him alone and acted like a ham until he smiled. "Thank you," he replied. He glanced at the door and said to the cat, "Did you hear that, Phantom? You were complimented." The cat replied with an emphatic meow.

Turning back to Rylee, he said, "Phantom's always been very perceptive - that, and she's heard the "T" word enough to know what it means." He wasn't going to say "treats" and send her into a frenzy again. Blink, blink. Did Rylee just say she had foxes? "Phantom used to get into things too, but she's calmed down a bit with age," he said. "Your foxes sound like fun pets!" Come to think of it, they sounded a bit like his wife's cat... always into everything!

Gaston watched the ribbons slip under the door, and he knew from the faint thumping against the wall that Phantom had darted after them. Rylee's giggling distracted him from his thoughts, and he looked back at her with a smile. "It is," he agreed. "It was the first spell I ever saw. It's a lot harder than it looks, though." He thought back to that day so long ago when a Beaubatons representative came to his parents' house and entertained the family cat with that spell. "I wouldn't know; I've never had reason to use it for anything other than entertaining cats."

Then Rylee was volunteering to distract Phantom long enough for him to dress her up; that thought got a laugh from the professor. "That might work," he said, pondering the idea for a moment. "She'd have to be really absorbed in something else to let me put a cape on her... probably better have treats and ribbons for her!" Speaking of which, they still needed to make a cape for Neptune. Gaston watched closely as Rylee practiced the severing charm; first the incantation and wand movement, then the two together. He was poised to offer help, but it wasn't necessary. He beamed as he watched Rylee cut the parchment after only a couple of tries. "Well done, Rylee!" he congratulated her. "Are you ready to try it on the cape now?"

With a wave of his wand, a dotted black line appeared a couple of inches from the hem of the cape. "Whenever you're ready, cut along this line," Gaston said. Another wave of his wand, and another dotted line appeared, marking the strip of fabric in half. "Then, cut that piece in half; one half will make Neptune's cape, the other will be used to add a collar and strings to tie it on."

Rylee smiled widely. "You're welcome. And so is Phantom. If it's alright I wouldn't mind coming to play with her whenever I have some free time?" She really did like cats and from time to time wished she had one of her own but she had Neptune whom she loved. Not to mention the kits at home as well.

"Did she break things when she was younger? The kits always get into things and they've gotten out of their enclosure before too. Rian my big sister had to use charms on it so they wouldn't escape and get hurt." She nodded fast. "Oh, they are! I have photos in my dorm I can show you sometime."

There it was. Proof that most spells looked easier than they were. "Maybe you could teach it to me sometime? I could test it out for other uses and let you know how it works." Or for playing with Phantom.

Once more the Gryffindor was laughing. "Well we have the ribbons already and I'll be stopping by later with stuff for her." She wasn't going to say Treats out loud again! Perhaps they could try then. Even if it was only long enough to get a photo of the cat as proof.

With the severed parchment in hand she nodded. "I'm ready." Watching as Marchand made black dotted lines appear on the fabric. "Okay.." Raising her wand she created the little 'v' shape with a tail. "Diffindo!" Slowly she moved her wand over the dotted line she needed to cut. Then she repeated the process once more along the other line. "There!" She beamed brightly holding up the pieces she had cut.

"Diffindo!" Slowly she moved her wand over the dotted line she needed to cut. Then she repeated the process once more along the other line. "There!" She beamed brightly holding up the pieces she had cut.
The offer to play with Phantom had Gaston smiling almost as widely as Rylee. "That's very kind of you; I think Phantom would like that," he replied. "She could use the interaction; most of the cat friends she had felt Hogwarts." The girl's next question got a laugh from him as he recalled Phantom's younger days. "She did occasionally. She used to like knocking things off of shelves and counters... broke quite a few coffee cups when she was a kitten, not to mention my mother's china figurine collection." She used to drive his mother crazy! "Thankfully she grew out of that. The worst she does now is steal things out of the laundry." Well, that and attack anything she thought was taking up too much of his attention.

He nodded in reply as Rylee mentioned the photos. "Of course, I'd love to see them," he said. He was intrigued by the idea of pet foxes, but he didn't have much time to think about it now, as the girl was asking about the ribbon spell he just performed. "Sure!" he said. "Just remember that it's a very complex spell - it both conjures the ribbons and animates them - and will require lots of practice to get right." He didn't want her to get discouraged if she couldn't do it right away! "I'm sure you'll find good use for it."

Gaston laughed along with Rylee. He half expected her to mention treats again, and his eyes darted toward the closed door, anticipating Phantom's reaction. Luckily, that didn't happen, and the cat remained relatively quiet except for the occasional thump that accompanied her chasing the ribbons. "That's true, and we can always give her more ribbons if we need to," he said, smiling at the thought of his own little Phantom dressed in a cape and hat like the Phantom of the Opera. He'd have to send his other a picture of that!

But there were more important matters to attend to at the moment, namely Neptune's cape. Gaston beamed when Rylee showed him the two pieces of fabric she'd cut. "Excellent job, Rylee!" he said. "Now we'll move on to the stitching charm. May I please borrow your cape for a minute?"He'd need it for the demonstration.

Her Head of House had no idea what he had just gotten himself into! "I'll come visit her every chance I get and keep her entertained and happy." She would play with Phantom all day if she could but sadly she had lessons to attend and other activities. "She sounds like she was a handful but lots of fun!" Rylee giggled.

Rylee smiled. "I'll bring the photos later." Lots of photos! "That's alright I don't mind practicing lots until I get it right." Chances were she would end up discouraged and forget about it for a little while before coming back to it again. Sometimes all you needed was a break when things got to overwhelming.

Once more the young Gryffindor was nodding her head in agreement. Together Marchand and herself could get Phantom all dressed up and have her photo taken. Two people working together would have no problem with the task. Or so she thought.

"Thank you, Professor!" That smile of hers remained in place. "Of course," she handed over her own cape watching closely to what he was about to show her.

"Thank you, Professor!" That smile of hers remained in place. "Of course," she handed over her own cape watching closely to what he was about to show her.
Gaston smiled, nodding in reply. "You may have your work cut out for you there," he said with a slight chuckle. "Phantom doesn't stay entertained for long; she demands constant attention." Then, as if to punctuate his words, Phantom pawed at the door with an insistent meow. He laughed. "She was a handful... still is sometimes! You should've see the way she used to terrorize my wife! It took her a long time to learn to share me."

The promise of fox photos got a smile from him, and that smile turned into a beam at Rylee's eagerness to practice the ribbon spell. "That's the spirit!" he said. "Now seems like the perfect time to show you that spell, since Phantom's already getting bored." He cast a sidelong look toward the closed door before drawing his wand. "To cast, move your wand in a curly-Q shape like this..." He twirled his wand in a curling motion. "...and say 'Redimiculum eructo'." He repeated the incantation, and more ribbons shot out of the ti of his wand, wiggling their way under the door.

"But you'll have plenty of time to practice later. Right now, somebody still needs a cape," he said with a small smile at Neptune... and a smile for Rylee as well as she handed him her cape. "To cast the stitching charm, place the edges of the two pieces you want to sew together -" He folded the cut end of the cape down. "-move your wand in the direction you want the stitches to go, and say 'Suturis'." He demonstrated by moving his wand in a straight line along the folded edge, and a line of tiny stitches appeared, hemming the cape. "Now you try it; take one of the pieces of fabric you cut. Fold over and stitch three of the edges. Leave the other edge unfinished for now; this is where the collar and strings will be attached."

A kitty that demanding constant attention. This reminded Rylee of a few other creatures that loved to be the center of attention. "That's alright, she'll be the center of attention whenever I come visit her." She there would be nothing to worry about. "Oh? Was she mean to your wife?"

The Gryffindor was already ready to learn a new charm. Even if it was above her magical ability to cast it right away. "A curly-Q shape and then 'Redimiculum eructo," she repeated slowly trying to memorize it for later when she would be able to practice it.

"Yes!" Rylee giggled wiggling in excitement. They were so close to finishing Neptune's cape! Everything Marchand did the young ginger child watched closely. Fold over the edge of the fabric and move her wand in the direction she needed the stitches to appear. "That doesn't seem to hard..." Seem being the true point there. Setting Neptune down on her lap again she picked up one of the pieces of fabric and folded the edges over. "Suturis," she cast moving her wand over the edges.

Nothing. Clearly her throat she tried again putting all her focus into it. Then again and again a few more times. "Okay, this is a little tougher than I thought..." Flexing her fingers she tried once more. "Suturis!" This time a tiny line of stitches moved over the fabric and continued along the other two sides.
