| | The Headmistress' Office If you've made it past the gargoyle, all that stands between you and the Headmistress is a solid wood door. On the other side of the door is a high ceilinged room with a desk at the far end. The walls are stacked with innumerable portraits, although they all appear to be sleeping deeply or otherwise engaged. The shelves and tables are lined with strange objects, some that seem almost familiar to you, and even a few you are certain are mutated Dark Magic Detectors. A low row of pictures line a bookshelf otherwise filled with various texts, and each features the same blond woman waving happily with some other person. You think you see a stuffed hippogryff and centaur peeking out from between the books.
Behind the desk sits a woman either deep in thought or dozing into sleep. Her honey-colored hair is pulled into a short, elaborate braid down her back, and she is wearing dark blue robes with flowers embroidered along the hems and neckline. Overall, she gives off quite a solemn appearance, until a sound from you catches her attention. When she looks at you, you realize her eyes, while tired, are full of laughter and a smile plays around her lips. "What can I help you with today?"
ooc: Do NOT, under fear of punishment and of me giggling and pointing at you... do NOT post in this thread unless you have the password legitimately. Also... the Gargoyle thread may be used as a sort of waiting area for the Headmistress. |

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic Professors Branxton and Rae had several different passages off their private chambers in order to facilitate their journeys around the castle. One such passage allowed them easy access to each of their offices. He used this to swiftly gain entrance to th Headmistress's office. She wasn't in so, he made himself a drink and sat down to wait for her. He needed to discuss Cooper.

| Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee Rae appeared through the main door and didn't even seem startled to find her husband waiting for her. "Oh GOOD. I was just finishing my class and I thought 'Merlin's great aunt! I haven't kissed my husband today. Away with these students.'" She grinned at him and gave his forehead a polite little kiss.

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic "It's good to see you, too," Doyle smiled and stood after she kissed him so he could squeeze her. He abhorred her brother and had to just make sure she was really his wife and the past few years hadn't been a dream. "I missed you."

| Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee She drew a chair out of the air so she could sit next to him, holding his hand with both of hers. "You weren't gone long, so it must have been bad. Was it Bren? Was he nasty?" She squeezed his hands and gave him a sympathetic look. Funny that her brother was a beast to her husband but just ignored her.

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic "Is he ever anything but nasty? I honestly can't remember a time he has truly been nice to anyone... Though, I suppose you know him better than I,' Doyle said by way of an apology for speaking ill of her brother. "He wants you to owl his secretary to arrange a lunch for the two of you. I doubt you'll ever get him to acknowledge me as kin, even by marriage."

| Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee "You can bet he'd acknowledge us if either of the girls did something amazing, or if you or I did something newsworthy. 'My darling little sister... taught her everything she knows,'" Rae did an impression before shaking her head with a little smile. "Sounds like all the other meetings. Don't worry about it. Was that all he said?"

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic "I don't think..." Doyle shook his head and sighed. "No, that wasn't all. He's convinced that I only married you because I was unable to attain such power on my own and I am now living vicariously through you."

| Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee "What?" The look on Rae's face was pure outrage, and she actually rose from her chair. "Of all the self-important, ridiculous..." She grabbed up her quill, intending to write an angry letter to the Minister of Idiocy, before she dropped it and sat squarely in her husband's lap.
"You know that's not true, of course. I didn't intend to marry again, and only the truest of loves would have enticed me from spinsterhood."

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic "I was actually more worried that you'd think it was true," Doyle calmly replied, though there was worry evident in his eyes. "Your brother is convinced that everyone is as power hungry as he is. He would have taken advantage if he were in my position so obviously that is what I have done."

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic "You needn't even ask," he chuckled lightly. "A much better conversationalist, too. But, the rest of our conversation focused on his plans for the school. He doesn't pleased that you're Headmistress here and is convinced the Ministry needs to meddle again. He wishes me to evaluate the school and report my findings to him."

| Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee "Oh," she nodded. "He doesn't like the fact that we're prepared for whatever happens, or that they're actually doing well and becoming responsible members of society? Which part is it? Or maybe he doesn't like that I'm the one in charge?" She seemed perfectly calm, but she'd quietly shredded her favorite quill.

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic "I'm fairly certain it is the later. The only thing more curious than why he wouldn't want you in charge is why he would prefer me. He insinuated that I could assume leadership through you," Doyle carefully added, closely watching her reaction.

| Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee "If I felt as if anyone working here now were better suited to this job, then I would step aside in a moment. There are many talented witches and wizards here. All I have is the ability to step back and see the bigger picture, and to use those talents." She tapped her fingers on the desk. "Is that something you even desire? To be Headmaster?"

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic "Not even if it could be attained without you as a puppet. I once desired to be Minister of Magic but, that dream died a long time ago when I found my true place. Cooper doesn't understand that."

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic Doyle smiled and squeezed her hand. "I have other, more important, dreams now, Cassandra. I'm not certain I can truly keep working two jobs and be able to manage both successfully. However, I am willing to placate Cooper and be his evaluator for as long as whatever plan he has brewing permits rather than see him appoint someone else to the task."

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic "I most heartily agree. Ever since your brother gained the Minister's position, working at the Ministry hasn't been the joy it once was. It will be good to relax with my girls," Doyle replied as he took her hand again and led her from the office in a rare display of public affection in front of the students.

~~~~Weeks later- forgot to leave last time~~~~~ Doyle was pacing the Headmistress' office, unable to sit still. He had a relapse in his OCD and was cleaning his glasses furiously every five minutes or so as he waited.
