| | 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. |

| Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee Rae hurried into her office, surprised to find her husband. "Doyle," she fell into his arms, her face pressed to his shoulder. "I feel terrible. I can't find them, and Argyle has finally shown up... alone. What can we do?"

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic "We shouldn't panic," Doyle replied, holding his wife tight and stroking her hair, though he felt anything but calm himself. "They have to turn up somewhere but, I think it would be prudent to alert everyone. They can't remain missing for long if the entire school is looking for them."

| Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee Rae burst into tears, the resolve she'd maintained all day completely gone now that it was just the two of them. "I want my babies. I want my babies." She made a pathetic, wet sound on his shoulder.

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic "I know and we'll find them. Vivi probably dragged Sophia off somewhere and they'll turn up soon," Doyle said, though he wasn't completely convinced himself. They'd been missing for far too long. "They won't have gotten too too far."

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic Doyle just stood there and hugged her. He didn't have any words. That night with Clara and Cooper was nothing compared to the way he felt right now. He walked them slowly over to a sofa and sat them down. "We'll think of something."

| Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee "Okay," she nodded, trying to gather herself. What if someone showed up? She had to maintain a strong facade. "Don't leave me for a while, please. Just... hold my hand."

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic "I'm not going anywhere," he assured her, pulling out his handkerchief and blotting her eyes. He almost went for her nose as well and smiled. "They have to come back soon or I'll end up asking you to blow for me, too."

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic "I can't think of anyone off the top of my head," Doyle replied, completely flabbergasted. He went through the list of his enemies but, it was a very short list. "I can only think of one enemy of mine but, I can't see your brother taking our children."

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic "Yes, that is exactly what you should do. But, you are also a mother and so your... our... children and seeing them come back to us is also a priority. We can do both. Perhaps a staff meeting could be called."

| Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee "Yes!" She stood and went to the desk, scratching out a bit of parchment. It was easy enough to replicate the message on enough parchments for each professor. She'd have Algamus take them when he arrived with the tea. "We can search the entire school. They... what if they left?"

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic "Send word to the Groundskeepers first. Seal off the exits. I doubt they have left and if they did they may have already gone but, it would be a wise course of action to take at least until we've had a chance to search thoroughly."

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic "Too close to your brother's remarks," Doyle cringed. "I do not need another position of authority. You do very well as Headmistress on your own. It is as husband and father that I aid you now."

Hogwarts RPG Name: Algamus | Algamus pops into the Headmistresses office with a tray of tea. He looked at his boss with wide eeys and smiled. "Algamus bringes teasies for Headmisstress." At that moment, he saw Professor Doyle. "OH! Professor Doyles! Algie is very honored to sees you again sirs." He said giving him a little bow.
"Headmistress, Arygle is be coming soon. You is wanted Algamus to calls her?" he asked, with wide eyes.

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic "I know you meant nothing of the sort. It was quite inappropriate for me to even comment, especially in these circumstances," Doyle pulled his wife close and looked up as the house elf appeared. He waited silently for Cassandra and the elf to conclude their business, all the while his thoughts resting with his missing children and wondering if they were okay, what they were doing, and if they missed him as much as he missed them.

| Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee "Yes, Algamus. Call her. And will you deliver that stack of parchments on the desk to the professors. They need to know the girls are missing and that we're making a concentrated effort to find them. The Groundskeepers especially are to keep a lookout."
She pressed her cheek against Doyle's shoulder. "Is Argyle quite alright?"

| Argyle, the high chairs, and the tray of food pop into Professor Rae's office. Argyle place the tray on a table and arranges the high chairs close to the fire. "Good evening Mistress Rae and Master Braxton, Argyle has the girls dinner ready. Will you need help feeding them tonight?" Argyle looks around the room for the twins. Argyle expects to see them crawling everywhere, but no twins. "Mistress Rae, where are Sophie and Genevive?" |

| Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee "I was hoping you could tell us that," Rae said coldly, although her stomach was sinking fast for her feet. "The nursery is empty, they haven't been seen, and you were missing for days. I want to know where my daughters are," her voice rose.
