 Professor Onyx X. Frost’s Office
 While out wandering the Second Floor corridor you come across an intriguing looking door. Intriguing because all over its face are raised-carvings of numbers in every which sequence and pattern, even a radial one centered about the exact center of the door! In the middle of this said radial pattern there is a plaque, which reads: Professor Onyx X. Frost
Arithmancy Well, that certainly explains the numbers... you think to yourself. Figuring you might as well meet your new Professor, you reach towards the right and raise the lion-head door-knocker (Professor Frost is undoubtedly a Gryffindor) and await a response from within. After a few moments pass, a distracted albeit cheerful male voice bids you enter. As you step inside, you take notice of a fairly tall man standing before a chalkboard, who appeared to be deep in thought and gazing fixedly at a complex Arithmatical problem. Deciding to leave him be for the moment you look about the room. A handsome oaken desk and matching chair catches your eye almost immediately, and then a bookcase – also matching the desk and crammed full of varying volumes. All of the décor seemed to be in synchrony with the door you observe – even the red curtains! Although there were other markings within the numerals on the furnishings and curtains... Runes maybe? The Professor scribbles something upon the board like crazy for a minute and then sets the chalk down, allowing a “Ha!” of triumph to escape him. Finally he takes full awareness of your presence. “Pardon the wait and my lack of manners, but that’s been eluding me for quite some time... Ahem, anything I can assist you with?” He changes the subject with a smile. |
