| | Professor De Luca's Office Down the fifth floor corridor, you come across the Ancient Runes classroom and the office of Professor Allegra De Luca. Walking into her office you can immediately tell that she is a very clean person. Her bookshelf contains books about cursebreaking and business ventures all placed in alphabetical order. Pictures of her family are on the walls and in each photo you notice that she looks very clean and tidy. There is one picture that stands out in particular to the wandering eye. The person in the middle is obviously De Luca, but she doesn't look extremely sweet in this picture. She is surrounded by men in suits. This would be a picture of her and 'the family' also known as the Mafia.
Sitting on Allegra's desk are her lesson plans for the upcoming class and two mugs for coffee. There is almost always a pot of coffee brewing for Allegra to share with a guest. When you look towards the window you see Professor De Luca herself looking out the window. When she notices your presence, she sits down behind her desk and pours a cup of coffee for you. "Hello, I'm Professor De Luca. What can I help you with today?" OOC: Timezones are not my BFF so don't clutter up my office going "OMG YOU ARE TAKING FOREVER!11!!". Maybe I'm SLEEPING. =D |

Knock. Knock. Knock.
Without waiting for an answer, Blaylock pushed the door open and peeped in, "Yoo-hooo, Ally?"
One step in.
"Are you in here?"

"Over here Nat!" Ally was moving stuff around in a trunk off to the far side of the room behind the door. Straightening her robes, she shut the door to her office and sighed. "So what do you think of all this nonsense about students turning into animals?"

That was her cousin, always straight to the point.
Looking at the trunk Ally had been working on earlier, Blay answered with a small shrug, "I'm more worried about the students going missing, to be exact... and the fact that Branxton's lost his mind and is off campus."
She sent Ally a significant look. The whole thing probably meant Rae was going to leave too, and then what would happen to the kids? Or what if they were involved with the disappearances?

*invisible man* | Rupert = *swoon* "You know I'm right..." And she was back. Callie had just come from the owlery and was heading down to the great Hall for some nosh when she had spotted Proffesor Blaylock heading down toward the Ancient Runes teacher's office. Callie hadn't gotten much last time she had been snooping, but since she had some free time and her spying ears were in her pocket, she decided to try again.
Sneaking toward the door, she took out her ears and put one in her ear and the other on the door. She only caught a glimpse of what De Luca's last sentence was. Something about animals.
Were they talking about the missing students? If only she had her quill and parchemtn to write this down. She would just have to remember what she heard, so she could make an article for the Quill. People would love this piece.

"Branxton's lost his mind? I thought he was always like that but okay then. I'm worried about the students missing too. What's happened to them and what's making them disappear? I think there's a mole on the staff that's giving the students over to whoever's doing this." Ally twirled the key to her trunk in her fingers and looked towards the door for a second. "Nat do you sometimes doubt Cassandra's ability to run the school? I'm sure doubting it right now."

*invisible man* | Rupert = *swoon* "You know I'm right..." Callie listened carefully and heard almost every word. Braxton was nuts. was that safe? Should he be teaching? Hearing the part of the missing students. She kind of pushed that past because she already knew that, but new information she would be sure to remember.
And then she heard something she never thought a teacher would say. Proffesor Rae isn't fit to run the school? Should she be allowed to teach then. Why are the teachers not so sure and talking between themselves. Crackers! I wish I had my quill!

Surprised at Ally's question, Natasha took a while to answer. When she'd formed the words, she looked up at the other woman and lowered her head in an almost imperceptible nod.
"It's become glaringly obvious in the past few years..."
She didn't want to say more. Couldn't bring herself to say any more... even though she thought of it constantly.

Ally was shocked that someone was actually thinking along the same lines as her. If it was anyone else, they would probably tell her to shut up and do her job but since this was Nat, she would have something to say about it. "I'm glad I'm not the only one who's seeing it. The quality of leadership has declined in the past few years. Look at everything that's happened the past couple of terms. That's all I have to say to prove my point."

*invisible man* | Rupert = *swoon* "You know I'm right..." Callie listened even more carefully when Blaylock areed with De Luca. She wondered how many actually felt this way about the Headmistress. She hearrd De Luca say other things from past years, but Callie wasn't here then. She guessed she would have to do some research in the library to find out what happened. Could things really be getting worse.

Natasha sighed, "You're right, of course... there's no denying that many of the mishaps could have been avoided."
Standing up, she walked over to the desk and lifted a lid off a jar, "Don't you have any sweets?"

"Oh! Yeah I do actually. Lift the lid of the jar next to that one. It's got some chocolates in it." Ally's smile faded as her eyes stared at the door. Something was up. "Nat was there someone outside my door when you came in? I have a funny feeling someone's behind that door."

*invisible man* | Rupert = *swoon* "You know I'm right..." Callie was trying to listen when she looked down and noticed her shoe was untied. She wanted to tie it but wasn't all that sure if she should incase she missed something.
Then Blaylock started talking about sweets, which was not worth listening to, so she figured she had time. The shoe tieing would only take a few seconds. Carefully, without making a sound, she bent and start doing up her laces.
Finishing the bow up, she thought she heard something about a door, but she didn't catch anything else, so she stayed put and listened more. There had to be something.

"Thank you," she lifted the lid off the indicated jar and snagged some sweets (she had a sweet tooth) before looking over her shoulder at the door.
"Your hunches are almost always right, Allegra, so why don't you invite whomever it is in?"
Whoever it was... well, she felt sorry for them.

"Sounds like a good idea Natasha." Allegra's voice became very quiet as she walked towards the door. She opened the door and looked down as a Slytherin girl fell into her office. "Well hello. Would you like to step inside my office? Actually no you HAVE to step inside my office now. You're already leaned up against my door so now you have to come in."

*invisible man* | Rupert = *swoon* "You know I'm right..." Before Callie realized anything was going on, the door had opened, she had fallen into the office, and De Luca was looking down at her. Drat. She had been caught. She really needed to get a better reaction time.
Getting up she said the only thing that came to her mind. "Hello Proffesors." Obviously this was going to get her no where.

Blaylock didn't recognize the student until she'd gotten to her feet and smoothed her hair out of her face. So the young Slytherin had heard their conversation...
"Would you like some tea, Callie?" she asked, smiling a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.

*invisible man* | Rupert = *swoon* "You know I'm right..." Callie smiled weakly as proffesor Blaylock addressed her. She fumbled to put her ears up in her pocket and then replied shakely after she had not expected that fall when the door opened. She didn't even expect the door to open, "Um...no thanks."
She didn't want to cause any more trouble then she already had by getting caught. She knew her house mates woudln't forgive her for losing the points she was about to lose.

Popping a sweet calmly into her mouth, Blaylock watched the first year for a while (just to make her sweat for a bit). Her eyes flicked to Ally, who was looking quite... murderous in her own way.
"So what do you think?" she addressed the question to the student. How much had she heard? Blay wasn't blind or daft... she'd seen the extendable ears...

*invisible man* | Rupert = *swoon* "You know I'm right..." Callie kept her eyes moving between both Proffesors. Why weren't they doing anything to her yet. Sending her down to detention would be better then them watching her,
Finally Blaylock asked her a question. Play the stupid card. You might win. "What do I think about what?" she asked hopefulyl sounding convincing. Anyway it was a perfectly good answer since Blaylock could be talking about thing she heard. She needed to clarify.

"Don't play stupid child. I've had snoops in front of my door before so you might as well tell us your opinion on the situation we were speaking of because I know you heard us talking." Allegra's voice was filled with malice. If it was one thing that woman hated, it was a spy. Moles were always the first to be taken care of in the business and she applied that same philosophy to students who chose to snoop outside her office.

*invisible man* | Rupert = *swoon* "You know I'm right..." Callie then heard De Luca speak for the first time and she sounded peeved. She might as well give herself up. Maybe it would lead to a lesser punishment.
So she began. "Well, if your talking about Proffesor Braxton being nuts, I don't think he should be aloud on the grounds if he is." she started and then continued, "As for the missing students. I want to know who took them. I heard some people talk about this guy with a mustache at Hogsmeade, but I can't say any more on the matter since I am not aloud there, and did not see him. Oh he had an assistant too. I am quite mad actually. One of our best quidditch players is missing, but then again I am happy one is missing." Then she finished with her last opinion. "I also don't understand why Proffesors are talking behind close doors about the Headmistress not being as good as she use to. I wanted to more about that opinion of yours which is actually what I was going to go do."
She ended with that and was some what pleased, some what scared of what they would say. At least she got her part out right.

Being a mother to a boy who was learning to hold full conversations, Blaylock wasn't worried that she understood everything Callie had said. However, she was a bit wary that the child had heard them dissenting...
She got to her feet and walked towards the student...
Passed her...
And blocked her way out the door.
"When Professors speak behind closed doors, students should not press their ears - or borrowed ears - against them."

*invisible man* | Rupert = *swoon* "You know I'm right..." Callied nodded in understandment, but she did have a good cause for listening. So she thought anyway. "Well I was just hoping to get some more info on the missing students. I didn't mean to here anything else." she replied and then added. "That was just extra." Yeah juicy extra stuff for the Quill.

"Hm. Well I really would appreciate it if you didn't utter a word about this conversation to anyone. I have my ways of finding out if you choose not to listen to me. I'm assuming you're new to Hogwarts since no one would probably dare to mess with me or my office after what happened last term so I'm going to give you the straight facts." Allegra scratched her ear and took a seat in the chair behind her desk. "I was an ex-mafia boss and I still have ties with them. The Headmistress should know this by now after the events that occurred last term but just in case she doesn't, I wouldn't tell her that." Allegra tossed the girl a chocolate and pointed to the door. "However I do not take on the characteristics of a mafia member in a school setting. I am a professor in a learning institution first and foremost so you have nothing to worry about. Still do not utter a word of any part of this conversation that we have had because frankly I feel that it is none of your concern anyway. Got me?"
