:: Ganymede's hair turned white as Virohsa pointed her wand at her. She gulped very deeply, hoping not to throw up.

She was a bit glad that Jaren left. She felt nervous around him when she was breaking under such pressure.

What am I gonna do?

"It's the last year for us. It won't go on any longer. I promise." She stammered out nervously.

She thought about it.

"You helped Riddle escape. So, you have some points on that part."

She added, "I think you already know who is involved."

Her breathing was a bit quick as she stared at that wand. "You must understand.. these are my.." She stopped, she didn't need to reveal anything.

"Can't you just.. beat me?" She suggested pittifully.

I'd rather be hit with a stick than have to give up my friends. Those wounds will heal faster atleast. She thought as she held back a headful of tears. ::

Professor Virohsa looked at Ganymede mutter about how they were other people involved.. People that were her friends.. Yet, it seeme like she might get the information she needed from the girl.

After Ganymede had finished talking, Professor Virohsa looked at Ganymede without saying a word. She started to tap her fingers on her desk, her fingers were still near her wand. After a couple of minutes, she finally stated, "You know very well I need a list". "If you tell me their names, I will make sure that they won't repeat their year.. and Slytherin will stop losing points", she added.

OOC- took 20 pts since its an OOC new day

:: Ganymede sighed regretfully. She wondered just how much the Professor knew about the operations going on under the Professor's noses.
She acts like she doesn't know what Leiden and her creatures did. Doesn't she understand how awful the Ministry was to us? She thought as she struggled with her answer.


Then she suddenly felt angry. Her hair spiked up and she raised her head, meeting Virohsa's eyes.


"I have a name for you. Milagor. Thats a name." She said hoping to gain some information of her own. She wasn't going to give up her friends just yet. If she did, then other cans of worms would be opened. Ganymede was part of things that covered every house and it included some of her favorite Professors. ::

Laurasia was quietly reading when Jaren suddenly exited the office & walked past in a silent flash of green & black robes. She frowned slightly. "Gany is still in there," she thought to herself. Just then she noticed that the hourglass had dropped signifigantly for Slytherin. "Great!" her mind reeled. She looked back at the door with an irritated expression. The longer that Gany stayed in there the worse this was going to get.

She sighed sharply & returned her attention to her potions book.

Professor Virohsa frowned. Why would this girl be concerned with a wizard working for Gringotts. "For the last time, the name of the others", she said coldly. She tapped her fingers softly on the desk. "If you are not going to name them, then go and report to Professor Fox", she finally added.

:: Ganymede was getting frustrated. She was in a tight corner.

Yeah.. let me go to Fox. Let's first see what I want on my gravestone.

As for names.. I have several. But most are Death Eaters that came as visitors to Hogwarts. I have names of the murdered students from these wonderful visitors. I have Jaren who proved that Perry used an unforgivable on me and the others in his class. I free'd a house elf that was beaten by a Ministry Official. I watched the entire Slytherin House while that Evil Jade Surreaux was attempting murder... I kept my house safe while the Imprisoned Professors were escaping. Yeah.. I can give you some names.

She opened her mouth to speak, and said...

"Do you even know what happened the last time Ministry Official came to Hogwarts... or even Visitors in general?" She asked defending her actions of spying.

"Fox could be a Death Eater in disguise.. the real guy could have been killed on his way. Just like the visitors from Beauxbatons." She continued gaining volume as she did.

"You do know that MINISTRY OFFICIALS.. tortured your fellow Professors?" She asked, her eyes going wide and her hands in the air.

"If you want names.. I have names." She finally puffed out before sitting down and tapping her own foot.

She has to see how I was justified in this. Either that.. or I seriously should just hope Jaren explained it already to Fox::

Professor Virohsa stopped her finger tapping. "I know, yes. And I also know Professor Fox. You should have come to me first. Now, who else was involved?", she asked the girl. Clearly, she was getting frustrated.

:: Ganymede looked at the wand once again. Then she broke and said, "The Headmistress has one." She then looked up and added, "There's your name."

She then stood up. "I think I should go have a chat with.. Professor Fox." She said a bit shrewdly. She nodded a semi polite goodbye before walking out. ::

Professor Virohsa frowned. Was this girl saying that the Headmistress wanted Jaren and Ganymede to spy on a Professor? That was outrageous. She immediately took 2 parchments and sent them to Professor Fox and the Headmistress.

Laurasia was a bit startled when Gany came out in quite a huff. She nearly dropped her potions book at the sudden movement from the door. She mumbled a "Hey, Gany," as the older Slytherin went passed her, but it was fairly obvious that the other girl wasn't interested in conversing. And who could really blame her? Judging by the recent drop in Slytherin housepoints, her meeting with Professor Virohsa must not have been the most pleasant.

She slipped her potions book back into her bag & straightened her robes. She hesitantly approached the professor's door, not sure if this was the greatest time to meet with her. The professor herself was the one who had asked her to come though, so she knocked. She didn't think that their meeting would be too lengthy or difficult, so what the heck. She poked her head slightly into the doorway. "Professor Virohsa, is now a good time or should I come back?"

Professor Virohsa looked up to see Laurasia. "Come in dear", she stated as she sent the parchments by owl. "Close the door and sit down", she added.

Laurasia smiled & entered the office, closing the door behind her as instructed. She walked over to the chair across from the professor's desk & noted that it was still warm from when gany had been sitting in it. "Wow, she must have either been in real trouble or been really upset," she thought before addressing the professor.

"Good day, Professor Virohsa. You had mentioned that you wanted to see me about attending the advanced Herbology classes that you're going to be having in Greenhouse 24."

Seeing first Jaren and then Ganymede leave the office, both not in the best of moods made Erica wonder slightly as to what had happened in there. That occupied her mind for a few moments until Laurasia got up and entered the office door. She stifled a yawn as she pulled out some notes from a previous class and went over them, still waiting to see Virohsa.

Professor Virohsa nodded. "Oh that is right", she stated as she tapped her desk and a folder came flying out. She looked at Laurasia's record and nodded. "Very well. You can join.. as long as you understand that we will be discussing advanced potions with the specific plants.. as such, you will have to be extra careful. I understand that you may not have the same experience as some of the older students", she explained. "Is that understood?", she asked

Laurasia smiled brightly. "I understand completely, Professor Virohsa. Thank you for this opportunity. Potions is my favorite subject & I hope to someday be Potions Master here at Hogwarts. So I understand that having as much knowledge of the subject, & of Herbology as well, will definately help me in that goal." She beamed brightly.

"Will I be needing to bring any extra supplies that I should be aware of or will the necessary equipment be provided?"

Professor Virohsa nodded. "Oh yes. I forgot", she explained as she scrambled for a bit of parchment and wrote something there. "Here you go, ask the librarian for it and report to the Greenhouse in a couple of days. I will make an announcement in the Bulletin Board", she added.

Laurasia took the parchment that was offered & read it over. "Thank you, professor. I will be sure to keep my eye on the bulletin board." She rose & picked up her book bag. "Thank you for your time. And thank you once more for this opportunity, Professor Virohsa. I will make the best of it I assure you." She smiled politely & slightly nodded before exiting the office & closing the door behind her.

Professor Virohsa nodded as she saw the girl leave. She then turned her attention to the exam she was working on. After all, finals were just around the corner.

Karen knocked politely on Professor Virohsa's office, hoping she wasn't interrupting anything.

Professor Virohsa looked up. "Come in!", she called.

Karen walked into the office and looked around for a second before jumping directly into her question. "Professor...I was wondering if you would sponsor a party to celebrate Slytherin's win against Ravenclaw in the Quidditch match."

Professor Virohsa nodded. "I already did. I was under the impression that your Prefect, Zekke, had taken care of it", she explained as she grabbed a parchment and sent an OWL to Zekke. "Don't worry, if Zekke hasn't organized it yet, I will", she nodded.

Karen smiled and said, "Thank you, Professor." She then left the office trying to think if there had been a party--surely she hadn't missed it. She made her way down the corridor, towards the Great Hall.

Seeing that the professor was finally free, Erica got up from her spot and replaced everything back in her bag before knocking lightly on the office door.

Professor Virohsa looked up and stated, "Come in".
