In the tallest room of the North Tower, lies the office of the Divination professor. Up the winding staircase and through the trap-door, Professor Natasha Blaylock sits waiting. The trap-door to Professor Natasha Blaylock's office is open and as you peek inside to see if she is available, you catch sight of several piles of books lying all over the room. A smoky crystal ball sits on a pedestal in the corner and her desk is littered with tarot cards from a previous reading.

A woman of shorter than average height and a pile of messy auburn hair sits behind the messy desk. She's muttering to herself as she makes notations on a scrap of parchment. A pot of tea sits on the desk beside her, but she ignores it, just as she doesnt notice you standing in the doorway.

OOC Warning : Do not spam my office, please and be patient. I may not be able to reply to your posts immediately, but do not post your character walking off just because Professor Blaylock has not replied.

Armand blinked. "Yes... yes I did... umm..." He seemed to just stop, like he wasn't sure what he was really doing. Then again, he just had a lot to process. Like... where was the potion? He shook his head, snapping out of it and heading out of the storeroom. "Ten minutes, my office..." He looked over to Bucky, then back to the storeroom. "On second thought, just wait here. I'll bring it here." With that he took off, heading back to his office.

Nabs · 04-26-2007, 01:15 PM

Natasha stood in the store room amidst tea cups, crystal balls, decks of cards and a manner of different materials. "Okay...I'll be here." She followed him out and collapsed on the sofa beside Bucky, smiling at her.

After Armand left, she sighed, "I know this is going to get annoying, but...I'm happy!" She said, grinning like an idiot. They were getting married!

Ama · 04-26-2007, 01:26 PM

You alright, kid? You alright! She was obviously very much NOT alright! Closing her eyes she ignored the annoying kissing sounds and the cheeriness in Blaylock's voice. This. Was. Not. Happening. Celestina stared at the happy Blaylock and thought back to what she said about being the fool...if this is what happened when you turned into The Fool Bucky wasn't all too sure she wanted to be The Fool.

"Wow...did I look that freaky minutes ago?" Bucky questioned, obviously creeped out by Blay's clown-like smile.

Nabs · 04-26-2007, 01:32 PM

"Freakier!" Natasha said, grinning as she poured herself another cup of tea, "I love tea, and I love this sofa...and I love your hair, Bucky. Did I ever tell you that?"

She took a sip from the teacup, before pouring a cup for the girl, "Have one. You'll feel better."

Ama · 04-26-2007, 01:38 PM

Celestina took the cup of tea wordlessly, not sure what to do with Crazy Just Got Stung By Billywigs Happy Blay Blay. Bucky blinked at the comment about her hair. It had been auburn then pink then auburn....then pink. Maybe she should just keep it auburn.

"Uh--Thanks?" She replied and drank her tea quickly, ignoring the fact that her tongue was on fire. "Your's is really red."

There. That's as much as a compliment anyone will ever get from her.

Nabs · 04-26-2007, 01:46 PM

"It is, isn't it?" Natasha said, her smile slipping a bit as she fingered a lock of her unfortunate hair. "But despite it all, things worked out quite well. Who would have thought?" she mused, wondering how long it would take for Armand to get back.

Ama · 04-26-2007, 01:52 PM

The small girl stared at the older woman curiously. Was this what it was to be truly happy? Sighing, truly content with how things were, she smiled sheepishly at Professor Blaylock.

"So...can I be a bridesmaid?" She asked, trying her luck.

Nabs · 04-26-2007, 01:55 PM

Natasha started at the question, looking a bit blank for a moment. "Y-you're right! A proposal means a wedding...and well, flowers and bridesmaids. I don't know when or where we're doing it, but Bucky, it's so sweet that you even want to attend." She said, and suddenly, quite overcome, she reached for the girl and hugged her.

Zellanna · 04-26-2007, 01:57 PM

Armand climbed back into the office, holding a very small vial cautiously. He walked over and sat next to Natasha, handing the vial to her. "Sorry it took so long. I quite forget the journey it is between my office and yours."

Ama · 04-26-2007, 02:01 PM

Okay. Celestina hadn't hoped for the woman to get so emotional. She held her breath as she saw Blay's arms spread out in slow motion and her creepy smiling face heading her way. She grimaced as she was hugged tightly and her arms stuck straight from underneath Blaylock's own. Professor Erikson arrived and Bucky's panic disappeared slightly. Stretching out her fingers in the handsome man's direction she coughed.

"Manly Man...Help," she wheezed and wiggled her fingers hopelessly, trying to get the circulation back into them.

Nabs · 04-26-2007, 02:07 PM

Natasha gave the girl one last squeeze before letting go and taking the potion from Armand. She gave him a rather nervous smile, how did one greet their new fiance? "Thank you, Armand..." She cast a significant look at the young Gryffindor, "I'll just take this potion later...it can wait."

She sat there, fiddling with the cap of the vial, "Want some tea?" She leaned forward to pour a cup and accidentally spilled some of the potion onto her hands. "Whoops. I'm rather clumsy..." she flicked her hand to get the potion off, "But yes, tea?"

Zellanna · 04-26-2007, 02:11 PM

"Please..." He smiled, biting his lip lightly. Already something felt different just knowing they'd be getting married. How different would it be actually being married? He looked down at the little spots of potion still on her hand. "Um, cap, Tash... before you spill the rest."

Nabs · 04-26-2007, 02:18 PM

Cap? What was he talking about? She raised a hand to her head but stopped halfway, "Oh right! Yes, of course, wouldn't want you to have to run to your office and back here again..." She said, smiling softly as she put the cap back onto the glass vial.

"And that tea isn't going to pour itself!" She said, partly talking to herself as she reached for the teapot and poured Armand a fresh cup.

Zellanna · 04-26-2007, 02:24 PM

He blinked, raising a brow at Natasha talking to herself. "A- are you alright, Tash?"

Ama · 04-26-2007, 02:25 PM

Bucky stared at Erikson and Blaylock. Blinking she patted herself in search for an abnormal lump that wasn't part of her anatomy. Feeling it, she let her hand rest on it briefly and assured that is was buzzing contentedly. Standing up she raised her eyebrows.

"Should I go?" She asked, pointing at the trap door and frowned at Rosemary who was sleeping inside her shell amongst a chewed book. Bucky hoped it wasn't another heirloom....

Nabs · 04-26-2007, 02:30 PM

"Nothing is the matter...I'm just a bit, overwhelmed, that's all." Natasha said, taking yet another sip from her teacup.

Turning to Bucky, who looked rather uncomfortable, she shrugged, "I hope we haven't caused any permanent damage for you, dearling...just, think of what we talked of, yes? And know that you're always welcome here if you need to talk."

Zellanna · 04-26-2007, 02:33 PM

Armand chuckled. "You don't have to, but if we're making you uncomfortable, feel free. I do apologize, though... I got a little... excited."

Ama · 04-26-2007, 02:34 PM

"Nah nah," she muttered quickly and picked up Rosemary, a small smile on her lips. "I'm just tired,that's all. I hope you two have fun."

Celestina tried not to wink. The last time she attempted that she looked like she was having a seizure caused by a sharp object that had just been inserted in her eyeball. Throwing the trap door open, Bucky tried climbing down but didn't measure the second step properly and found herself tumbling the rest of the way and landing with a loud crash.

"I'm okay!" She called up to the tower. She didn't want to ruin Blay and Manly Man's moment.

Zellanna · 04-26-2007, 02:40 PM

He eyed Natasha. "Do you really think she's okay or should we be walking her to the hospital wing... " He muttered, "another one..."

Nabs · 04-26-2007, 02:43 PM

"We could start an ambulance service." Natasha said, as she walked over to the trapdoor and peered through it, "Do you need a trip to the hospital wing, dearie?"

Zellanna · 04-26-2007, 02:48 PM

"I'm sure she's fine..." He set down his cup and noticed small blue splatters on the table and ground, as well as a few near where he was sitting. He'd check his robes, but as they were blue already... He stood and walked over to the trap door. "She alright?"

Ama · 04-26-2007, 03:00 PM

Celestina sat up and rubbed her head. She wiggled. What was trying to perforate one of her butt cheeks?! Pulling the object she stared at Rosemary who seemed to be gasping for air.

"Sorry bud," she muttered to it and looked up at the trap door. She could see Blaylock's bright red head like some kind of neon flashbulb. Dearie? Bucky blushed. How....unpredictably cute. "No thanks! I'm--good as gone!"

Standing up she brushed her herself off and tucked Rosemary underneath her arm before waving at Blaylock and heading towards---well--she didn't know exactly where she was going.

Zellanna · 04-26-2007, 03:09 PM

"She's fine." He closed the trap door and took one of Natasha's hands. "Potion's still on you." So said Captain Obvious as he started to wipe away some of the blue stuff with his thumb. It smeared a little on her hand before being wiped away, consumed in the ridges of Armand's thumb. He looked at the liquid a moment before pulling a small piece of parchment from his pocket.

His thumb print was laid against the paper then, bold and blue. He looked around a moment and found a quill. Writing neatly and elegantly, he dated the piece of paper, adding: 'The day everything changed.'

Nabs · 04-26-2007, 03:54 PM

Natasha looked over his shoulder as he wrote the words and she smiled softly, laying her hand on his shoulder, "I know you did...but did I mention how much I love you?" she asked. "In all the excitement it slipped my mind! Many things slip my mind, you know? But still, I can't believe something like that would have just gone WHOOSH out of my head. But you do know, right? That I do. That is, love you. That I love you."

She stopped babbling and slapped her palm to her forehead, "My mouth...is disconnected from my brain." Right about now, she'd give anything to be stuttering again. But noooo, it was always one or the other. Stutter or babble? She seriously needed a guidance counselor. Even her MIND was babbling!
