Not the little dainty sneezes one might expect to find in a delicate creature such as Meredith Moxley, either. Oh no. These sneezes were the type that built up and up and up until they finally came out, loud and mighty and certainly heard by anyone even close to Moxley's waiting room.

Deciding she'd put her nose through enough torture for the moment, the brunette set the duster back on the shelf with the other muggle cleaning tools and headed for her door. Maybe she'd go and bother Leo for a bit. He was always good for a-Oh.

Standing in her doorway, the muggle studies professor regarded the Ravenclaw curiously. She had asked him to stop by, hadn't she? Well, she supposed bothering Leo could wait.

"Mr. Prince, thanks for coming. Why don't you come in?" She motioned with her hand and then stepped back inside her office, quickly grabbing her wand to clear some of the remaining dust from the air.

He had heard the sneezes. Of course he had. In fact, Daxton was wondering if there would be anyone in the castle, grounds, or surrounding villages who had not heard them. The first had made him jolt in surprise, dropping the book he had found on the little table in the waiting area, and stare towards the office door in mild alarm. But he was not an idiot, and he figured out what the noise was almost instantly. But the more they kept coming, the more they began to grate on his nerves. He left the book on the table; reading would not be happening.

So Daxton simply stood there instead, waiting for the sneezing to stop and feeling tempted to just leave. He had, after all, stopped by the office, and that was all he had been asked to do.

But then the sneezing stopped, and then Moxley was there at the door, looking right at him and inviting him inside. Daxton looked dubious for a moment, uncertain about entering a room with a woman with such explosive sneezes, but he did eventually follow her inside.

And immediately sneezed himself. Much quieter, mind you, but it made him immediately suspicious. He looked up to give Moxley a stare that said as much, but before he could do so, Daxton noticed the many collections of things in the room. And there were so very many.

He stared for a moment, stood quite still in the doorway as his eyes roves around the room and he tried to take everything in. Then, without waiting for invitation, Daxton headed directly across to one of the shelves to inspect the items it held.
