Default Meeting Space with Professor Myers

Paul couldn't lie to himself anymore; he hated his office. Well, hate was such a strong word. But really, he didn't like meeting with students in there. It was so stifling to conversation so...not fun. And so, he would keep his office the same, of course, but only spend time in there when he needed absolutely concentration grading papers or doing his own research. He would NOT be meeting with students in there anymore. Just...no.

The waiting area that had previously held those flower chairs that most students seemed to not like...was transformed into the meeting space, but the students must knock on the door to be let inside now. And he would only meet with students in here becaaaaaause there was something very special he was going to with this room.

Paul would make it different, every three months. Fun things, too. He had plenty of ideas, yes! But for now, the room looks like an excavation. Yes, that is sand. Feel free to dig up anything as you wait for the Herbology professor to join you.



OOC: I apologize deeply for not having a normal office .___. Have your character knock and Paul will let them in, all in this thread.

Kitty walked right up to the office door to Professor Paul Myers door and knocked. Before coming here, though, she'd cast a drying charm on herself. It was a very rainy day, and unlike many people, she actually LIKED the feel of rain. When she wasn't being watched by anyone and when it wasn't a storm, she would sometimes go outside and twirl in the rain. Today was one such day. Hence the drying charm. Having knocked, the Gothic head girl stood back and crossed her hands behind her back, waiting to be let in.

Paul was simply in his office, reading a book for fun, taking a slight break from grading homework, when he was alerted to a student outside his waiting space. He quickly stood up and and crossed over into the waiting space, barefoot, since it was SAND in there. Walking across the room in the sand was kiiiiind of difficult because sand is hard to walk in! He waved his wand and opened the door, surprised to see Kitty!

He smiled.

"Welcome, Kitty! come right in! There's sand!" his toes squished further into the sand. "And apparently some TREASURES buried in here."

Boy oh BOY did he have a surprise for Dark Lord Myers! Okay, so the third year's whole imagination running away with the thought of the man being Dark was slowly waning, but it was still lingering and would likely do so until Derf's world view shattered. So really, it was for the best that he still thought so.

Bounding down from the castle with a tiiiiiiiiiny bit of eager hop to his step, the Hufflepuff held a small box FILLED with plastic bags which were filled with, well, something SPECIAL and USEFUL for the man. Unless whoever had placed them in his and others beds had taken it from the greenhouse supplies to start? It was RARE and PRICEY as mum had told him.

Hands full and still no luck in mastering a Levitation Charm...Derf kicked the door three times with his toe.

Paul was not busy.

What was he doing?

He was lying in the sand on a TOWEL in his meeting space, playing some ocean wave sounds on a radio while Zelda dug away in a corner. "Don't dig up all the treasures, you curious fiend!" he would call to her from time to time. But Zelda wasn't TRYING to dig up treasures. She was trying to dig a hole to, you know, sleep in. Relax in. The sand was cooooool to the touch.

He heard the knock on the door and waved his wand lazily. He had sunglasses on even though he was inside. "Come in!" he called out.

Derf had come to expect these meeting spaces to be rather like a box of Bertie Bott's...meaning you never quite knew what you were going to get. Even the third year could admit to this being EXCITING and something he rather enjoyed, but there was still the risk of running into vomit flavored bean when he stepped beyond the door.

What would today bring? Hopefully nothing worse than rotten egg.

Stepping in through the door, Derf lifted the box and hid his face behind it as he presented it to his Head of House. "I brought dung!"

OH, IT WAS DERFAEL. Pleasant surprise! Paul grinned and removed the sunglasses from his face and placed them saintly atop his head. "Dung, you say? By far the best gift of term so far!" he teased slightly, thinking his playful tone would go right over the badger's head. But he did appreciate a good breed of dung, and he assumed this as much, since Derf wouldn't just bring any old dung...or human dung...

....would he?

He shivered at the thought and sat up slightly. "What kind of dung?" He thought he was beginning to smell it, or maybe it was his imagination. OR maybe Zelda had taken a nice poop over there in her corner. Which....ew. If she had. She was getting SENT STRAIGHT AWAY. This AREA WAS NOT FOR POOPING.

Midnight had come and gone at Hogwarts, and the grounds were shrouded in darkness in early November. Emmeline clutched her winter cloak tighter around her, shivering in the wind and grateful that Hogwarts uniforms were black; with her hood drawn up over her face, she was sure that she blended into the darkness perfectly.

Well, almost perfectly. There was the teensy little fact that her wand was currently lit up courtesy of a Lumos spell, but everyone should be faaast asleep and not noticing stuff like that. She hoped. It had actually been super easy to sneak out of the castle 'cause she hadn't really had to do any sneaking inside it at all! The Gryffindor had come out to the infant creature barn after dinner like always, and had simply curled herself up in a tiiiiny ball inside her cruppy's kennel when curfew rolled around. Those kennels were big enough that Cami could stand inside her crup's, so Sirius's had had plenty of room for a small twelve-year-old ball of black fabric. And nobody would look too closely inside her cruppy's, 'cause he always made so much noise and hovered by the kennel door when Professor Wayland came around, mhm.

The second year took a deeeeep breath as she approached the meeting space that led to Professor Myers's office. Her search of the greenhouses hadn't turned up any evidence related to the Blood Bird, but she hadn't reallllly thought it would. Professor Myers was smarter than that, mhm. But hopefully he was hiding clues in his office, even if there wasn't any concrete evidence there.

Emmeline pushed the door to the professor's meeting space open slooowly, cringing a little at any noise the door made, and stepped hastily inside. This was...the weirdest place ever; it didn't look like a porch or a waiting room or like anything outside the other teachers' offices. It looked like a big sand pit, which was a biiiig PROBLEM, 'cause what if he had buried the poor dead rodents under all this sand?? She'd just have to ask an older student to teach her one of those revealing-secrets spells later and come back another day to search through the sand. At least it hid the sound of her footsteps as she crossed the room headed straight for the professor's office.

He wasn't going to get away with this.

ZZzzzZZzZZZZZZZZZZzzzzZ........

Z......Z......Z....Zz.....z??

....z.....

z?

Paul was awoken by the sound of the charm on his meeting space area. The charm that alerted him to people at the door because he needed it in order to go...well, MEET them in there. But it was night time. Paul had been asleep for an hour now. His bleary-eyed self thought that, y'know, maybe it was an accident. But it kept going, and Paul just....had to check for his sanity's sake and to make the charm stop. So he grabbed his wand and rolled out of bed, making his way to the meeting space begrudgingly.

It was dark in the room, and Paul couldn't really see. But he COULD hear the soft shuffling of the sand of SOMEONE or SOMETHING moving. His heart picked up slightly. "Who is IT?" he asked, and he lit his wand nonverbally. The cloaked figure was small...very small?

"What is the meaning of this?" he asked, suddenly quite stern.

Errrr....so, she hadn't actually planned on being caught. Emmeline NEVER planned on being caught, actually, but she usually had some sort of ready-made excuse or plan ready to go for whenever she broke a rule. But this time, she'd been soooo sure that Professor Myers slept in the castle and so that she had 0 chance of getting caught, she was realllllly unprepared.

Maybe if she just backed slooooowly towards the door, she could escape before the Herbology professor was really awake? Emmeline had just started doing that all sneakily and stuff when the professor lit his wand tip WITHOUT WORDS!!!! The second year had forgotten that people could DO that, and the surprise of the light coming on made her freeze in her tracks.

She looked between the angry professor and the door to the outside, trying to judge the distance and if she could possibly still run for it. She didn't think so, but she kept backing up towards the door anyways. It wasn't safe to be alone with an angry wizard with a wand in his hand, nope. She wasn't super scared yet, though, 'cause she had her wand in her hand too. At least she wasn't unprepared or anything if he attacked.

As she backed towards the door, Emmeline's mind whirled around for an excuse. "Uhhh, sorry Professor. Ummm, I thought I saw a creature come in here and y'know, those other small creatures were killed, so I thought I'd follow it and stuff," she blurted out realllly quickly. That excuse was possible, right?? Though she still didn't know how Professor Myers had woken up so quickly, either; it wasn't like she'd been making a lot of noise. She hadn't even had to unlock the door.

If this excuse didn't work, maybe she could convince the professor that he was dreaming? That worked when someone was super sleepy, right? It would be worth a shot, mhm. "But uhhh, you're still sleeeeeping. This is all a dreeeeam," she said hopefully. She tried to make her voice sound all misty and mysterious and dream-like.

One of these was totally going to work, mhm.

And now Derf's little 13-year-old heart was sad because he missed his pen pal (who he needed to write again soon, now that he thought about it) and the enchanting Valerie Gray. Yes, the hearts were now gone from around her name, but his ears still did turn a bit pinkish whenever he thought about her.

"It's even in neat little baggies!" he announced as he lowered the box so he could look at the professor proper. "Henry thinks Peeves did it...which was pretty thoughtful of him, you know? Putting things in bags like this rather than the usual messy business." Actually...it was a little disappointing. Was Peeves losing his edge a bit? "But it's HIPPOGRIFF dung!"

Which was super important, you know? Rare and expensive and stuff.

The Hufflepuff couldn't tell if there were any additions to dung - meaning fresh dung by Zelda - since he was currently encompassed by the box of dung he held.

Kitty blinked, mildly surprised to see the floor covered in sand. Or was there no floor, and it was sand all the way through? Huh. Professor Meyers sure was an interesting fellow.

"Should I take off my shoes and socks, sir?" she asked politely, not sure if there was a barefoot rule going on here.

The mention of treasure piqued her curiosity. "Ooh, really? What kind of treasure?"

Paul would know that voice anywhere, because Emmeline Sparkes was a student who definitely stood out to him, not for being a Herbology fan or a supremely good student. It wasn't that Paul didn't like Emmeline OR think she was smart or a good student. He thought Emmeline was wonderfully creative, sweet when she felt the need to be, compassionate.

But she certainly had it out for him, and it had not gone unnoticed by Paul, which is why being woken in the night by her was not....going to pleasant. For either of them.

He raised a skeptical eyebrow at her first excuse. "How would a creature ever have-----" And he was cut off by the NEXT bewildering statement, which only had Paul WIDENING his eyes at her in disbelief. "I...cannot believe....you are out of bed in the night in my office." Well, not IN his office, but very nearly. His voice was low, cold, and calculatingly slow. "You are a wonderful student. I feel....I feel disappointed. And especially after that hawk showed up at the bulletin board?! This is very suspicious behavior, Miss Sparkes, indeed. I would like an explanation...or would you rather me awaken Professor Marchand tonight and explain to him that one of his lions very nearly broke into my office?" He gave her a look with his blue eyes. Because why else would she be sneaking round his meeting space alone?

Yeah, don't wake a sleeping Paul. He was not amused. The professor folded his arms across his chest.

If it was anyone else....... He knew. He knew he wouldn't be nearly as irritated. Plus, the girl was full of centaur dung at the moment! CENTAUR DUNG.

SPOILER!!: Derf

Putting things in bags like this rather than the usual messy business." Actually...it was a little disappointing. Was Peeves losing his edge a bit? "But it's HIPPOGRIFF dung!"

Which was super important, you know? Rare and expensive and stuff.

The Hufflepuff couldn't tell if there were any additions to dung - meaning fresh dung by Zelda - since he was currently encompassed by the box of dung he held.



HOLY HIPPOGRIFF DUNG!

"Wow. That is....that's........that's very valuable. I'm so glad you thought of me!" he smiled and patted the top of Derfael's head. "Yes...but I would rather Peeves do this than some of his....other shenanigans. So is all this dung for me?" FOR HIS PLANTS? Wow.

WOW.

He'd have to go thank Peeves ^^

"You don't want any dung?"

The mention of treasure piqued her curiosity. "Ooh, really? What kind of treasure?"
Oh! "Well, it isn't a requirement, no. I just like the way the sand feels on my feet. It's cool to the touch." And the texture was good for the skin, was it not? Sand was gritty. It got....dead skin off. TMI. But Paul had dry feet sometimes, ok? >.>

TREEEEAAAAASURE! Paul suddenly broke into a broad grin. "There's all kinds of things. Why don't you have... a poke around? You can use your wand if you like." He smirked. His eyes flickered over to a particular spot at the other end of the room.

Maybe...there was something buried there. Maybe it was....y'know, a nice trinket of some sort. And by trinket, we mean...a remembrall? A magical music box? Things like that? Yeah?

But she certainly had it out for him, and it had not gone unnoticed by Paul, which is why being woken in the night by her was not....going to pleasant. For either of them.

He raised a skeptical eyebrow at her first excuse. "How would a creature ever have-----" And he was cut off by the NEXT bewildering statement, which only had Paul WIDENING his eyes at her in disbelief. "I...cannot believe....you are out of bed in the night in my office." Well, not IN his office, but very nearly. His voice was low, cold, and calculatingly slow. "You are a wonderful student. I feel....I feel disappointed. And especially after that hawk showed up at the bulletin board?! This is very suspicious behavior, Miss Sparkes, indeed. I would like an explanation...or would you rather me awaken Professor Marchand tonight and explain to him that one of his lions very nearly broke into my office?" He gave her a look with his blue eyes. Because why else would she be sneaking round his meeting space alone?

Yeah, don't wake a sleeping Paul. He was not amused. The professor folded his arms across his chest.

If it was anyone else....... He knew. He knew he wouldn't be nearly as irritated. Plus, the girl was full of centaur dung at the moment! CENTAUR DUNG.
Professor Myers's voice was way colder and meaner than she would've expected, even if she had KNOWN beforehand that she'd be caught. Emmeline fidgeted with the free sleeve of her robes a bit as she listened to allll of his talking, trying desperately to think of a way to tell the truth WITHOUT telling him the part that would be hurtful if he wasn't a Dark wizard. Which was suuuuper hard, but by the time he'd stopped talking, she'd started crying a little. Definitely not on purpose, but whenever her father had used that sort of tone, it had been followed by....unpleasantness.

Plus, it was making her kind of doubt her whoooole reason for being here, you know? If he was a Dark wizard, wouldn't he have just cursed her to shut her up already or something? So the second year was very sad, a little scared, and VERY confused.

She tried to wipe her eyes all sneakily 'cause she didn't want him to think she was crying on purpose -- which she DID know how to do, to be fair -- and replied veeeerry quietly, "I--I'm sorry, sir. But I ju-just th-thought that, you know, you have lots of sand in here and stuff. And it would be really ea-easy for whoever drew the thing at the bulletin board to bury lo-lots of rodents here..." Which was pretty much the truth of the matter. 'Cept she'd thought that maybe HE'D been the one doing the burying, mhm. But she made suuuuper sure that none of that suspicion showed through in her tone. She'd been practicing putting different emotions in her voice on purpose 'cause she was gonna try out for the play, so hopefully she could also do it in reverse (take emotions OUT of her voice)??

But really, one of the main thoughts Emmeline had as she stared at the ground with red, embarrassed, tear-streaked cheeks was that she should've asked Derf to help her make the plan. He was definitely the most creative person in her group of friends, mhm... But she'd been SO sure that she could look through the office at night without bothering anyone.

The Hufflepuff went just a tiiiiiiiiiiiiny bit rigid when the elderly chap patted his head like that, but soon relaxed because, well, they were talking about dung and HIPPOGRIFF dung at that. "I was worried about Simon...his asthma and all...along with his aversion to dirty things..." he explained while ruffling his hair. His dormmate often looked as though he were going to FAINT when Derf came back into the room covered in mud. "So I got all of the bags out of the beds. Mum told me about how useful it is for plants and stuff so...you're the plant dude." He still wasn't quite over how Peeves had put them in BAGS rather than just fling things haphazardly about the dorms. It made the third year FEEL like this wasn't actually Peeves doing, you know?

"Not sure what I would use it for myself, professor," he said with a small shrug. He had no intention of trying to sell it on the Hogwarts Black Market or anything like that. Huh...did one of those even exist?

Paul REALLY wished he could do Occlumency right about now. It would be so helpful with know if students were lying or not. Then again, he wasn't entirely sure it was ethical to do that, so it was probably a good thing he couldn't do it, because then he might be tempted to use it in this moment, and yeah. Not entirely ethical to him might...make him feel bad later.

He took a deep breath and sighed. "Emmeline......why did you feel the need to come look in the middle of the night, then? You could have come here any old time, looked, and even lied to me then about what you were looking for." So of course, what he was saying....is he didn't believe her. And he hated the next part. His eyes were puffy from not getting ENOUGH SLEEP, CHILD, but he still felt...bad. Ish.

"50 points from Gryffindor," he said, somewhat sadly. "And detention. This Friday after your classes are done. With me. I'll be in touch to tell you what exactly your detention will be." He rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Being out after curfew is not a rule we enforce for fun or for our kicks and giggles, Miss Sparkes. We do it for your safety. Your parents send you all to us...to teach you, but they also entrust us with your lives. I have to do my duty, and I have to enforce the rules that are needed for your safety here at school. Especially with that hawk...we don't know what it's about yet, and we don't know where it's from. It could be a prank, but we just don't know yet, and the fact that you....are parading around after dark trying to solve the mystery is....." He shook his head. "SO I am very sorry to discipline you, but we can't have students wandering around after dark, and I hope...you will not do this again."

Ahem, also, "And you woke me up, Emmeline! I have alarms set on my meeting space so that when people come in or knock, I know they are there. I have no hard feelings for you, m'dear. I will escort you back to your dorm and inform Professor Marchand in the morning." Paul did not wish to awaken Gaston at this time of night; it might frighten him or something. It wasn't anything that terrible that he needed to know RIGHT this instance.

He felt bad, of course. Emmeline was smol. She was...a second year. But still. Paul might not be a strict enforcer of any uniform rules (something Regina got on him about), but this...this had to be done. And that hawk...did not leave him feeling partially okay. It left him uneasy. He certainly wouldn't be telling Emmeline this, though. "Come on."

Paul grinned. "You are very resourceful and helpful, Derf. Ten points for your thoughtfulness and concern for your fellows," he winked. "I will DEFINITELY take those off your hands, m'boy. Gladly. You can...hmm... come put them in my office for now." He gestured for Derf to follow him across the sandy room, and opened the door within to his very woodsy office lined with books, smelling mildly like herbs, and mildly like rose tea.

"You can set them down in here, then."

Zelda bounded inside, curling up in her favorite spot in the plush bed that resided next to one of the cases of books. "Would you like any tea? Or biscuits?" he asked. You know, trying to be friendly to the kid who THOUGHT HE WAS A DARK WIZARD.

Oh, so it wasn't a requirement. That was good, she didn't feel like walking barefoot at this moment. Not that she hated sand or anything, she wasn't Anakin. Walking into the sand with her shoes on, she bent down to touch the surface with her fingers. 'It IS cool," she admitted appreciatively, straightening up.

Hmm so there were things in the sand. And he'd just invited her to poke around. "Oh may I?" Retrieving her wand from her robe pocket, she pointed towards the corner he was glancing at and said, "Accio treasure!"

.
There was LOOOTS of sniffling and sneaky tears going on. Sneaky tears 'cause Emmeline was totally sneakily wiping them before Professor Myers even noticed them, right?

"'Cause I th-though you'd s-say no... And I'm n-not a very good li-liar," she answered his first accusation miserably. Which was MOSTLY true; she was only normally decent at telling the kind of lies that involved leaving out the true parts of something, you know? 'Cept apparently she wasn't even good at those anymore, 'cause it was totally OBVIOUS that the possible Dark wizard didn't even believe her when she was telling the mostly-truth. The ONLY part she'd left out was that she thought that maybe he'd been the one to draw the blood bird. And... She had taken what Dora had told her last term to heart. About not hurting Professor Myers's feelings and stuff unless she had solid proof that he was an evil Dark wizard. Which was half of why she'd left that part out; the other half was that, obviously, if he WAS an evil Dark wizard, she didn't want to tip him off to the fact that she was suspicious.

She definitely should've asked Derf what he thought first.

AND THEN... "Fifty??! But sir--", she spluttered in shock. Total and utter shock, 'cause even Zoryn had never lost so many points -- and Zoryn had actually hurt a teacher (according to rumors) and done waaay worse stuff than sneaking out. The tears were definitely falling thick and fast now; the whoooole entire House was going to hate her for this.

The comment about her parents slowed her tears up a little, though, and she fixed the Herbology professor with a defiant stare: "Actually, my parents would be thrilled if I died here. They told me as much last term." She HATED it when adults did that; when they assumed that allll other adults were good people and that students were all just brats messing around and trodding on their wonderful parents' love. When hers had not only TOLD her the opposite, but one of them had landed her in St. Mungo's with injuries far worse than any she'd sustained at Hogwarts -- even when she'd gone into the Forbidden Forest last year.

It took her about a minute to realize that she'd actually SAID something like that out loud; she hadn't said anything about her parents to an adult that she didn't completely trust before, and she immediately felt weird and wrong about it so she gulped and went on in a much softer tone of voice: "Sorry, Professor. Um...never mind..." Not that she had expected Professor Myers to really know all of that, though she was kind of surprised that he didn't know that Cami was her guardian. Only 'cause Cami always spoke realllly highly of all of the other professors, including him. The thought of Cami finding out that she'd lost fifty points AND gotten a detention made the tears splash down her cheeks again, though; she HATED disappointing Cami more than anything else, really.

"I'm sorry, sir... I thought you sl-slept in the c-castle, and I d-didn't know about the alarms," she added back in her sad quiet tone. She tried to force her features into a polite smile but she couldn't really make them do it. Still, she'd been able to keep a SUPER polite tone of voice the whooole time ('cept for when she'd been talking about her parents 'cause talking about them always gave her a bad tone) so she went on:"It's okay, sir. I can cr-cross the lawns myself." She didn't think it was that far to the castle from here and she realllly just kind of wanted to get out of here before her sadness and shame and icky feelings turned into something worse, like anger. The slightly harder tone in her voice when she'd mentioned her parents hadn't been against the Herbology professor after all; it was anger and hurt and the loads of tangled emotions that she got ANY time she talked about her parents since last Christmas. When they'd started the process of kicking her out and---

And she realllly needed to go somewhere she could cry and maybe hit a pillow or something. Now, before she said something bad and lost even MORE points, since Professor Myers clearly hated her so much. The twelve-year-old aimed her still-lit wand tip at the floor and started carefully retracing her steps towards the door to the outside...

They were good now, right?

Paul wiggled his eyebrows at her, looking quite smug. "You think an summoning charm will work? Think again, Miss Valentine." He winked and spread a towel on the ground, thinking he would lie on the towel and watch as Kitty tried to find SOMETHING in the depths of the sand.

He thought he should invite Regina in here one day. She might enjoy the place for its...ancient feel.

Clearly, no, she wasn't a good liar. Paul could have told her that much right from the start. But he merely kept his face relaxed. No need to make her more upset. She had broken the rules, she had annoyed him, and he had now given out her punishment. She was clearly going to be upset, so Paul just...didn't feel the need to escalate that.

...and then, he realized a little too late that he had put his ENTIRE FOOT in his mouth. Her parents. He HAD MENTIONED HER PARENTS, SO STUPIDLY, without thinking, full well KNOWING that Cami had taken Emmeline in due to some...issues going on, and Paul felt his chest tense in the sudden guilt he felt. "Emmeline, I am sorry. I forgot---" he sighed and shook his head lightly. "I will be speaking to Professor Stewart about this, not your parents. Clearly. Forgive my lapse in judgment and memory," he said gently. WOOOW. Paul could have kicked himself right in the rear.

"No! No...I will escort you. You cannot get stopped again. They might not believe I have already disciplined you for being out of bed after curfew," his tone was still quite gentle, because his lingering guilt from the whole..parents thing.

Internal scolding. Paul couldn't believe himself. He began to walk along towards the castle, feel a great more anxious before he had gone to sleep earlier that night.

He HAD MENTIONED HER PARENTS, SO STUPIDLY, without thinking, full well KNOWING that Cami had taken Emmeline in due to some...issues going on, and Paul felt his chest tense in the sudden guilt he felt. "Emmeline, I am sorry. I forgot---" he sighed and shook his head lightly. "I will be speaking to Professor Stewart about this, not your parents. Clearly. Forgive my lapse in judgment and memory," he said gently. WOOOW. Paul could have kicked himself right in the rear.

"No! No...I will escort you. You cannot get stopped again. They might not believe I have already disciplined you for being out of bed after curfew," his tone was still quite gentle, because his lingering guilt from the whole..parents thing.

Internal scolding. Paul couldn't believe himself. He began to walk along towards the castle, feel a great more anxious before he had gone to sleep earlier that night.
Emmeline sometimes thought that Cami had some sort of magic attached to her name, even though that wasn't realllly Transfiguration. 'Cause it seemed like just her guardian's name worked on the second year's nerves like a mini calming draught. Cami wouldn't ever have let another professor contact her parents like that anyway; she was okay, they couldn't get into Hogwarts. It was fine, really. And even though she'd probably realllllly upset Cami by all this sneaking out stuff, she was 99% sure that her guardian wouldn't hate her for it -- the professor would just be, well, disappointed and upset. Which Emmeline didn't like being the cause of either, but it was wayyy better than what she'd had to deal with before, mhm.

Yes, okay, she could handle this. Cami had practically called her a teenager once over the summer, so Emmeline could act all mature and grown up and stuff. Wasn't that what she'd told Cami anyways when she was asking her if she could look after another baby creature? The twelve-year-old sneakily took several deep breaths, trying to let allll the bad thoughts go back in their mental boxes and stuff.

She took in another biiig gulp of air, wiped the rest of her stupid tears off on her sleeve and tried to channel mature teenager thoughts before she spoke again: "It's okay, Professor." There, she didn't have to say anything more than that, right?

Emmeline simply nodded when Professor Myers pointed out that other teachers might not believe her that she'd already been disciplined tonight, 'cause that was true -- adults neeever believed kids about stuff like that, nope. Soo she waited until she could be walking next to the Herbology professor to keep going towards the castle. It had been a loooong night, and she was looking forward to some pygmy puff cuddles back in her dorm.

Right. She wasn't sure she really expected Accio to work since she didn't even know what the treasure was. Digging for treasure wasn't what she'd come here for, but by Merlin's spiders, now she was curious!

"Okay," she said, pocketing her wand for the time being. She was sure he wouldn't appreciate if she tried to explode the sand out of the way, so that was a no-no. She looked back and forth for a shovel. "Do you have a shovel anywhere? I hate to dig with my hands."

Vaguely she wondered if this was one big prank. What if he'd buried an empty banana peeling and called it treasure?

He gestured for Derf to follow him across the sandy room, and opened the door within to his very woodsy office lined with books, smelling mildly like herbs, and mildly like rose tea.

"You can set them down in here, then."

Zelda bounded inside, curling up in her favorite spot in the plush bed that resided next to one of the cases of books. "Would you like any tea? Or biscuits?" he asked. You know, trying to be friendly to the kid who THOUGHT HE WAS A DARK WIZARD.
Derf couldn't help but feel like he had just sucked on a lemon, some lingering angst in his Hufflepuff heart finding the REASON for his point reward. Know when else he had been concerned for his fellows? When the Healer and Professor Hirsch had thrown them ALL into a triggering situation but he had instead had points TAKEN from him and told, in a round about way, to simply get over it.

Wary, Derf nodded and stepped inside proper with his box of poop. "No thank you," he said while shaking his head. No food or drink from him, thanks. "I've been told specifically not to trust drinks from you." Just sayin.

Paul nodded and pulled a small spade out of the sand, as if he had been WAITING for her to ask. "Here you go...." he smiled and idly twirled his wand around in his hand.

He was watching Kitty curiously. "I'm sure you didn't come to my office to find treasure." So why HAD she come? "Why don't you talk to me while you dig, eh?" Because if she left BEFORE telling him what she had come to talk about, the visit would be kind of pointless, right? Assuming she didn't find any TREASURE.

HAHAHAHA!!!!

Paul snorted with laughter. "Who told you not to trust me?!" He thought it was funny, though. "You do ONE lesson where your tea shrinks people's sizes in order for us all to STUDY ROSES up close and personal, and suddenly you're not TRUSTABLE." He chortled. "Granted, I have learned my lesson. I thiiiiink that was a mistake. Like, of course no one trusts me." He patted the top of Derf's head. "I don't blame you. Especially since you think I'm a ~Dark Wizard~"

Yeah. The cat was out the bag, kiddo.

Olly was not a patient person. He was going to wait a bit before going to pay Professor Myers a visit. But of course that didn’t happen. It had been a few days since the lesson about the lotus fruit, but really not that long. He had gone to the library and done a bit of research on his own, and with Lucy’s help. But Professor Myers was the expert on the subject of Herbology. At least in Olly’s mind he knew everything there was too know about the subject. He may not be able to answer the questions Olly had related to potions but he might as well ask. Besides, it was always a good idea to pay his favorite Professor a visit.

So Olly showed up to Professor Myers’ meeting space, knocked on the door, and waited to be let in.

Paul was doing absolutely nothing. Flipping through a magazine to get ideas for a gift for Milton, honestly. And he wasn't having luck. But after so many years with his partner....it was harder and harder figuring out what to get him for things.

The charms alerted him to someone waiting outside his meeting space, SO Paul tucked the magazine under his arm and made his way through the sand pit, a few honking daffodils were still potted here and there in the area because Paul enjoyed their presence so much. There was enough sunlight in here to provide amble nutrition, he thought.

"Oh! Oliver! What a wonderful surprise!" he grinned when he opened the door. "To what do I owe this pleasure, eh?" he winked.
