As you enter the room, you find that the room is bathed in a soft red light, as the Professor has draped sheets of red silk over the windows, so the sunlight is stained a soft red. It gives the office a warm glow, and when you look about, you realise that cupboards seem to circle the rooms walls.

Towards one end of the office, the cupboards are all closed, and these are filled with spare cages. Pushed up against them, are bean bags of every colour for you to sit on, and a coffee table in the middle of them, with a plate of cookies on for you to help yourself too if you want a chat with her.

The other end of the room, there is her desk, and the cupboards seem to be full of papers and strangely, feathers. On her desk, there is nothing much, but some rolls of parchment, a quill and ink, and two chairs either side. A picture is also on the desk, of what must be her twin sister, and her niece. Body-less Bob is also on her desk, snoozing at the moment, and you can't help but be a little thankful for that.

A pile of cages are placed up against the cupboards, and a closed door. Behind this you have no doubt this is where the Professor keeps all her animals. Her room seems to be strangely clean, for a Care of Magical Creatures Professor, but as a snake curls up on her desk, and an owl lands on top of one of the bean bags, you're reminded of her position.

Professor Maline looks up at you as you come in with a warm smile, and gestures for you to join her on the bean bags.

Jasmine watched as the professor dripped a potion on her spider bite and felt it feel better already. "Thank you professor" Deciding to change the subject so as not to upset the professor anymore, Jasmine asked ,"So professor, any ideas for the next lesson?" She gave her a tentative smile hoping to get her mind off bad thoughts.

starlightangel · 03-25-2007, 11:43 PM

Professor Maline tied up her hair in a pony tail and nodded her head, wiping away tears from her cheeks. "Oh yes, it's all planned, i just need to decide when to hold it," She continued, thankful for the subject change.

Magical_Mione · 03-25-2007, 11:46 PM

Jasmine smiled wiping her own tears away and said," I'm sure it will be another great class." Watching the professor put her hair up she said,"You should where your hair down more often professor. Its so pretty."

starlightangel · 03-25-2007, 11:54 PM

She laughed suddenly, and nuzzled down in her beanbag, picking up her hot chocolate and sipping it again. "Thank you, it was a relief to know my first one was so popular." She smiled, then tilted her head to the side and released her pony tail, letting her hair drip about her shoulders once more. "You think? I suppose it wasn't the best thing to do anyway today, it was giving me a headache." She mused, sipping at her chocolate again.

Magical_Mione · 03-25-2007, 11:57 PM

Jasmine smiled and said "Of course your class was great! And your hair does look better down. But how do you enchant your butterfly halo? That looks so cool. I would love to have that when I go to the Yule Ball this year."

starlightangel · 03-26-2007, 12:04 AM

"Thank you, it means a lot." She then smiled absently as her butterflies flitted about once more. "I don't enchant, they just come to me, like all my creatures." She smiled, "Yule Ball?" She asked, "There is a tornament, but no Yule Ball, although there is a ball." She told Jasmine.

ooc - I'm going to have to go in a moment, so if i don't reply in a bit, you know why!

Magical_Mione · 03-26-2007, 12:09 AM

Jasmine nodded and said,"Well I think they are beautiful." Standing up still favoring her right leg just a tad, she leaned down and gave the professor another hug."Thank you again professor and may you only have good thoughts the rest of the day. I think I better go start on some homework, I had a lot this week." With a parting smile and little wave , Jasmine left her office with only a slight limp, her spider bite feeling much better.

ooc: ok have a good night.. or day!

starlightangel · 03-26-2007, 12:17 AM

"You are very sweet Jasmine," She told her quietly, while returning the girls embrace. "Be good with that leg and good luck with your homework." She smiled before sinking back into her beanbags once more.

Zellanna · 03-26-2007, 12:21 AM

Armand watched Jasmine leaving Ophelia's office as he was walking up. She seemed to be doing much better, which he was thankful for. Reaching the door, he rapped on it lightly.

gryffindor_quidditch · 03-26-2007, 04:15 AM

Kaytryn knocked on the door to the professor's office nervously. She was nervous because she had an ashwinder egg in her dorm that she was afraid was going to hatch when the sun went down and that she was talking to a professor.

Zellanna · 03-26-2007, 04:27 AM

Seeing the student walk up he decided Ophelia would probably end up being busy. Feeling brave, he decided to go for a walk elsewhere, instead.

gryffindor_quidditch · 03-26-2007, 04:28 AM

Kaytryn saw that the professor was busy at the moment and vowed to come back later if she had a problem with the Ashwinder egg. She figured keeping it in the box would be the best for now. "Things can't catch on fire if they're wet..." she hoped.

Nabs · 03-26-2007, 04:50 AM

Before Natasha could leave the office, a round of students had come by to visit, and much as she tried not to...there were some things that she couldnt help but to overhear. So, accepting the bucket of nasty, nasty stuff from Ophelia and the bottle of perfume, she muttered an excuse to get out of there fast, "Erm, Ophelia...I'd better get these things jarred. Errr...I'll see you later."

With that, she pushed the door open and made for her tower at a fast pace. Merlin...were Ophelia and Armand? Nevermind, she told herself, forget it.

OOC: lmao...I didnt get a chance to post her leaving, so basically, she was still on that beanbag. But yay! Drama <3

Sister Of The Moon · 03-26-2007, 12:07 PM

Neva walks quietly over to Professor Maline's, or rather Ophelia as she chose to refer to herself in her note, door and taps on it lightly. She didn't wish to disturb any of the occupants within. After a while, feeling that the silence was an invitation, she pushes the door open lightly and walks in silently. She closes the door with a soft click, hovering next to it as she surveys her surroundings.

She was aware of how brash she looked. Having no appetite nor willingness to eat, she had become painfully thin. Her gaunt, hollow face took on a ghostly appearance, as though her haunted thoughts had taken corporial form in front of her eyes. She glances over at Professor Maline, seeing her collapsed into her bean bag, not a care in the world.

Swallowing her pride, Neva walks slowly over to her and perches precariously on the edge of a bean bag, facing the Professor. " I hope this isn't an inconvenient time" she says in a barely audible whisper, her eyes firmly focused on a rather peculiar stain on the wall behind the Professor.

starlightangel · 03-26-2007, 02:46 PM

Getting to the door she opened it to see Armand and a student leave and she shook her head, thinking she would have to pay him a vist, they had a lot to talk about what with recent gifts of flowers...

She turned back and nodded to Natasha, "Of course, i'll see you later," She said quietly to her, feeling a little bad for the entire conversation that had just happened with Jasmine mentioning Professor Erikson, Merlin, what was going on?

Neva appeared and Ophelia felt the need to kick herself into action. No. More. Crying. She looked the girl over once, her butterfly halo shielding Ophelia protectively as her bright blue orbs took in Neva's emaciated frame. "Good lord Neva," Professor Maline said quietly, "Tell me everything."

Sister Of The Moon · 03-26-2007, 03:17 PM

Neva wraps her arms around her shoulders quietly, tucking her bony knees under her chin. She could feel the Professor's eyes boring into her, making her feel terribly exposed. " Where to begin....." she whispers quietly. She felt no need to start at her experiences during the Summer. She knew that the Professor would consider that a factor.

" Julian's gone. That you know. When he left..." she speaks in a quiet tone, her voice appearing cracked, almost broken. " there was some unpleasantness. I shouldn't hold him completely accountable. I know it wasn't his fault. He was misled and out of character. But that didn't stop him straying..." she stops, feeling her ability to conver her thoughts slipping from her. She studies her ring, sighing slightly. The candlelight made it glint pleasantly, casting odd shadows on the wall opposite.

starlightangel · 03-26-2007, 03:23 PM

Silently, Professor Maline rose from the bean bag and walked over to Neva, she gathered the youngster up in a motherly embrace, and, with intense need to make her feel safe, refused to let her go. "Neva, you need...you need to go after him because part of me knows that you will not be satisfied with yourself if you don't." Ophelia began, forgetting to breathe, "You need to eat something first too because you're too thin." Professor Maline said gently in her ear.

Sister Of The Moon · 03-26-2007, 03:39 PM

Neva flinches slightly as the Professor gathers her up into an embrace, her muscles taughtening with the unexpected contact. She hastile covers her arms, hoping against hope that she hadn't noticed the deep welts that had been created that night. She gathers up her thoughts, being completely torn over what to do. " He told me....he told me that I need to finish here. I don't want to let him down, but I don't want to stay here and feel so lost. I don't know what to do" she explains, her voice somewhat stifled. She disregards the Professor's next comment, feeling no desire to follow her advice.

starlightangel · 03-26-2007, 03:57 PM

She sighed, loathing herself for what she was about to do. "Neva, you are more than capable. You're clever, you pick things up easily. Quite simply, you do not belong here. You need to be with him, Julian, and he needs to understand that. If you need me, i'll be an owl away." Ophelia said quietly, still holding the stiffened Neva.

Sister Of The Moon · 03-26-2007, 04:09 PM

Neva closes her eyes, listening for the words that would make it all better. The words that wouldn't come. She couldn't bring herself to think beyond the end of the day. It was too daunting a task. Granted, finishing her magical education would help her follow in her Mother's footsteps. But going after Julian, turning up on the Orchard doorstep to tell him that she was home for good seemed such a perfect idea. If only he was there.

He had decided that they needed money for when she graduated. Where he would work, he hahdn't told her. He could be anywhere. Also, how could she just leave her friends without even saying goodbye? She had yet to see Sylvia since she left the train at the beginning of the Summer. Perhaps part of her thought that she wouldn't stick out the year.

Neva couldn't face the idea of Julian being dissappointed in her, even if he had begged her, even for the briefest moment, to go with him. She sits on her bean bag, at a complete lost as to what to say or do to appease the bricks that were mounting in her stomach. She felt so heavy now...

starlightangel · 03-26-2007, 04:18 PM

Professor Maline smiled absently, refusing to cry. She'd absolutely had enough of that from herself. Part of her also thought, as she held the fragile teen to her surprisingly strong frame, Neva Brille Amos, was not going to last much longer. "It's alright Neva," She soothed quietly, cowering at the torment that was most likely swilling around her mind.

Sister Of The Moon · 03-26-2007, 04:28 PM

Neva, inwardly, laughs a harsh, cruel laugh in her mind. Alright? It clearly wasn't. She wouldn't aire her little thought, however. She knew Professor Maline had an idea of the pain she was feeling. It hurt her to think that so many people had gone though this torment. What a cruel joke.

Another joke was the fact that, even at her lowest ebb, Neva couldn't think of herself. Not even for a second. She wasn't accustomed to taking her own thoughts and feelings into consideration, it was a foreign concept to her.

She rubs her temple queitly, the headache that had plagued her for days having intensified due to the tears she would not allow to fall. She had done her crying, even though there was so much more to come.

starlightangel · 03-26-2007, 04:38 PM

Ophelia knew that nothing was alright really, but alas, she succumbed to the 'what to say' situation, and said the most stupid thing known to man at the time. She sighed, and rubbed Neva's back reassuringly, for what else was there to do?

She may be blonde and ditzy, but loss had made her sensible, given her deeper moments and right now, Ophelia's more intense side was flittering about the pair of them, much like her butterfly halo that stubbornly swirled about the pair.

"Cry Neva." She said in a tone that said that she wished to be obeyed, she knew it would do her so much good.

Sister Of The Moon · 03-26-2007, 04:48 PM

Neva's heart skips a beat as the Professor orders her to cry. She couldn't just turn the water works on and off at the drop of a hat. She closes her eyes, concentrating on her shallow, stunted breathing. Her head felt as though it would burst under the pressure of her own thought. She squeezes her eyelids shut ever harder, preferring the physical pain to the emotional pain.

Looking up at the Professor, she sees her own pain reflected in her eyes. It was as though she was looking at her own emotions in corporial form. Not having the strength to keep eye contact, she looks back down, feeling the tears brimming at the bottom of her eyes. She clasps a hand to her mouth as the flood gates well and truly break.

starlightangel · 03-26-2007, 04:57 PM

Professor Maline smiled softly, the corners of her full pale pink lips curling upwards slightly as Neva sobbed. Her own bright blue eyes glimmered with unspilt tears that she had kept locked up for years as she looked back at Neva.

"I'm afraid there is nothing you can now do; you have to keep crying, until it stops by itself, hold it in, and things will get worse. Trust me." Ophelia smiled gently, sorrow laced through her face.
