Armand wondered how he managed to wind up in the same room with two depressed females. "You two did your best, and there's nothing more you can do about it now." He reached around Jasmine, finding a way to hug the girl and squeeze Ophelia's shoulder at the same time. "I'm sure she was just in a bad mood. Not everyone thinks it be interesting to be an animal, Jasmine, and she probably misunderstood what you were trying to say, Ophelia. Minds don't work very well in a person who is angry."

Jasmine went to take another bite of her cookie when Professor Erikson saying comforting words, tried to hug her and Professor Maline at the same time. Needless to say her cookie got mashed into her face as his chest pressed into her as he reached over her to squeez Professor Maline's shoulder. For some reason finding herself squeezed between her two favorite professors and with a chocolate cookie squished on her face made her of course want to giggle. Which of course she did, feeling much better already from all the huggles. "Can you feel the love?" she quipped between giggles.

Ophelia gave a half-hearted smile, and wrapped her arms about the two guests in her office. She smiled a little more fully and gave a quick squeeze to the two held between her arms. "You're right, she wasn't too happy," Professor Maline agreed, and laughed as Jasmine began to giggle, squished between the two, "Yes, i can feel the love," She laughed, and shook her blonde head.

Now that Professor Maline was hugging back, Jasmine was even more squished between the two professors. Giggling even more, she stuck her face up between theirs so she could breathe. Seeing how close their faces were to hers, her eyes lit with mischief and she gave Professor Erikson and Professor Maline each a peck on the cheek. Looking at the chocolate smudges she left behind on each of their faces she laughed and said happily,"I luff you guys!"

Ophelia blushed as she found herself with a rather chocolatey peck on her cheek. "I er...i'm overcome with a desire to stroke that word." Professor Maline explained with a slightly bemused laugh.

Walking down the corridor Si was feeling a little sad. He was about to knock on the door of the one professor at Hogwarts that always made him smile, hearing the laughter going on in side professor Maline’s office Si lowered his hand and turning on the spot walked away putting his hands in to his pockets as he went, He didn’t want to bring a bunch of happy people with his problem.

Eliza skipped towards Professor Maline's office,once there she flicked her hair behind her shoulders and knocked lightly upon the door."Professor?You in there?" she asked as she pressed an ear to the door.Laughter? Either something really funny had happened or Professor Maline was being tickled!She squinted her eyes in an attempt to listen even harder,which really didn't work too well.She placed her hand beside her ear and strained her ear.What was going on in there?

He laughed, trying to wipe some of the chocolate away but just smearing it on his cheek. "Jasmine, you've got chocolate on me now!" He looked at the chocolate on his hand then resolutely smeared it on her cheek. "There, we're even."

He heard a knock and looked up, then to Ophelia. "You've another visitor."

"Come in Eliza!" Professor Maline called, recognising the voice with a smile, turning to Armand, as she wiped the chocolate of her cheek with a giggle, she nodded her head, allowing blonde tendrils of hair to escape from her pony tail, "It seems i do, i must have a visitor summoning spell on me." Profesor Maline laughed as she looked up.

She caught sight of Si's retreating back out the door and she sighed, she'd been wanting to catch up with him for a while.

Eliza took her ear from the door and entered the room.Stepping back at the sight of Professor Erikson,she eyed him suspisiously.Why wasn't he with Professor Blaylock?Hhhmmm....maybe something happened!No,Professor Maline is just a friend to Erikson,ain't she?

Eliza gave him a 'good-girl' curtosy and a cheeky smile "Good-day Professor Erikson....You have chocolate on your cheek." she told him,pointing to the chocolate smeared across his cheek."A chocolate kiss infact." why did he have a chocolate kiss upon his cheek?Hhhhmmm...something was definately up!She would investigate later,now was talk to Professor Maline time!

She looked at the Gryffindor girl she had never met and gave a small wave "Hello." she said plainly,hoping the girl hadn't heard those rumors about her losing her mind and such nonsense as that.She hadn't lost her mind and she wasn't crazy!----Not that much----Anyhooo.

She smiled at Professor Maline "Heya Professor Mal!" she couldn't stop herself from calling her 'Professor Mal',Professor Maline just had too many syllables!"Whats the story with ya?" she asked,Her Irish accent bursting through with every word.

He sighed and playfully scowled at Jasmine. "I wonder where the chocolate would have come from." And as punishment, he tickled her a little before leaning back and relaxing.

So she was going to be called 'Professor Mal' was she? Right then. She grinned impishly and quickly pulled Eliza to her in a dancing position, and Frank, the yellow spider she wore in her hair re-adjusted himself in her golden hair while she grinned once more, taking in a deep breath.

"Weeeeeeel 'Za." Ophelia began as she started a fast moving fox trot with the girl, "I've just had Pauline, the sytherin girl in here as a what was it now? A green goose, then a llama, then something else, and i think it was a parrot, and....What's the story with YA?" Professor Maline beamed as she dipped Eliza to finish. If she wanted to be crazy, she could do that.

Jasmine giggled, quite satisfied with her chocolate attack on the professors. She laughed even harder as Professor Erikson tried to rub it off and made it worse. When he smeared it back on her she gave a loud "Hey!" She bunched her robe sleeves in her hands and was scrubbing her face free of chocolate when Professor Erikson tickled her in payback. Being extremely ticklish, Jasmine let out a high pitched squeal that sent her birds flying out the window. Laughing she called and apology after the retreating birds."Sorry!" Turning back to Professor Erikson she playfully swatted him then turned to say hi to Professor Maline's latest visitor. "Hi!" She returned her fellow housemate's wave and gave her a friendly smile. Then bust out laughing again when she heard the way Professor Maline started talking to the girl.

Eliza laughed as Professor Maline started dancing with her "Are Ya alright,Professor?"she asked Professor Maline as she stopped dancing "A green goose?Llama? And y'all call me crazy!" she giggled,it seemed that anyone she talked to went mental for some reason.Was it something about her?Maybe it was something in the air..Or the water!

She eyed the girl curiously,was she laughing at her or with her?Hhhmmm...It was very hard to tell.She realised she hadn't introduced herself to teh girl and gave a small bow "Eliza's the name and Flirting's my game,nice to meet ya!" she gave the girl a wink to tell her she was messing about the flirting,well she really wasn't but still."Y'all need anything then.."she bet her chest proudly "I'm the girl!" she couldn't help but laugh at her silliness.

ooc:GTG,computer class over! TTFN!! *blows kisses*

Jasmine laughed again and stood up. "Hello Eliza! I'm Jasmine. Pleased to meet ya!" She then did a quick twirl and courtsey. "Cheers!" Plopping back down on her bean bag she smiled and grabbed the plate of cookies. Taking one for herself she then offered Eliza one."Cookie?"

Armand watched in amusement, thinking the entire room had gone mad. ... And actually wishing he could as well. He was starting to relax more, but he just couldn't relax that much. To many years of caution, dedication, and careful demeanors. He couldn't even will himself to that kinda of fun. And right about now he wished that he hadn't developed such subtleties.

Eliza looked at Jasmine "No thanks,I'm not really hungry." she looked at Professor Erikson and gave him a flirtatious smile "And how may you be Professor Erikson?" she asked him,giving him a wink for the fun of it.
Even if he was a Professor,she could still annoy him.And flirt with him.Right?

He smirked. "Well enough. It's been a busy year. Plant infections, troublesome students. You know the like," he said, winking back at her.

Eliza looked at Professor Erikson,he winked back!HE WINKED BACK!!
Oh My Gawd! ,Rang through her mind,What would Blaylock say if she found out I'm Flirting with Erikson?She could imagine Blaylock attacking her if she found out.Ah-well,It was just for the fun of it!
She batted her long eyelashes at him "Troublesome? Why would anyone annoy such a beautiful Professor like yourself?!" she gazed at Professor Maline before turning back to Erikson.She done her famous little step towards him and gave a cheeky smile.

"Because boys do not care about the masculine beauty of anyone but themselves, my dear." He leaned forward, resting his chin on his hand, watching her. "And of course, the very fact that I am a professor. Wouldn't you say, my dear childe?"

Eliza smiled mischievously "Oh,Us girls are completely different.I care about beauty,Professor." she leaned closer to him "Maybe they're just jealous? I'm not annoying you,am I,Professor?" she asked,staring into his eyes.She was having fun,so much fun!Who would have known that Flirting with a Professor was fun?!

But If anyone found out she was flirting with Professor Erikson she would be completely dead!Especially if anyone tells Professor Blaylock!

"Right now, oh no. Right now you're actually rather fun. It's always better when the students are in a good mood and playful." He smirked.

Ophelia shook her head, and summoned up a bucket, then proceeded to imitate vomiting into it. Eliza was really too much. "Oh dear Eliza, you're making me ill!" She exclaimed, a bright grin over her face.

Jasmine giggled as Eliza flirted with Professor Erikson and Professor Maline made her feelings known with a bucket. Placing the plate of cookies down,she leaned back to get comfy on her bean bag. Wiggling around she finally found the perfect spot. Turned slightly with her back against Professor Erikson's arm for a pillow, she stretched her legs out so they rested on the back of Professor Maline's beanbag. There! Quite comfy she thought with a self-satisfied smile. Feeling a bit goofy she then asked to the room in general with a mischievous twinkle in her hazel eyes," Why are twin witches so hard to come by?" Jasmine waited a moment then went on to say,"Because everyone always has trouble telling which witch is witch." Giggling at her own stupid joke she decided to go for one more,"Do you guys know what old witches get from riding a broom for too long?" Waiting a moment she the said quite proudly,"Broomitism!" Now completely gone , Jasmine wrapped her arms around her ribs and giggled away.

Eliza completely ignored Professor Maline and Jasmine,her eyes were fixed on Professor Erikson "How can't someone be in a good mood when in your presences?" she twirled a strand of her Brown hair around her finger and smiled "You have such amazing eyes,Professor!" Oh,she was getting the hang of this Flirting with Professors thing.It was just like Silos but without the kissing and muffin spiked with love-potion!
