| | |  Professor Antonio Dumont's Office
Come up to the door of Professor Dumont’s office and knock, the professor is usually in and is happy to talk to you about whatever you may have in mind, especially if it involves muggle studies.
As you walk through the door of Professor Dumont’s office, you are struck by the fact that at least part of this room appears not to be that magical at all, but looking rather like an office you might see on muggle television (had you ever had the chance to see muggle television, that is!) The main feature of the room is a very large wood desk with a nice comfortable chair behind it, a purple, cushiony chair. There are a couple chairs in front of the desk, which appears as though it may be oak, both these chairs are a dark green velvet, padded, and appear very comfortable as well. The rug on the floor is a forest green color, imprinted with a variety of flowers in many different colors, it is very relaxing and lovely, one of the prettiest rugs you could ever find. Professor Dumont inherited this rug from his family, it is an heirloom.
On the right hand wall you notice many photos calling to mind muggle entertainers. There are photos of various muggle rock bands from the ‘60’s and ‘70’s including the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Who, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin (it turns out that Professor Dumont loves this type of music). There are pictures of Elvis Presley as well, along with such muggle icons as Marilyn Monroe and James Dean, Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Perry Como, and many others.
On.the wall immediately behind the desk are some photos that are obviously personal. There are pictures of a very old castle with high pirouetting towers, this is Castle Dumont, Antonio’s family home. You gather that it is located somewhere in France, and you would be correct. You will also find many of the pictures that move and talk, wizarding pictures, there is a man and a woman in their 50’s, Professor Dumont’s parents. There is a new picture added this year, one which has a special place right over the Professor's desk. This picture is of a very pretty little girl, no more than 4 years old, with curly dark hair and a somewhat familiar look about her. You would be guessing correctly if you guessed that this is a picture of Professor Dumont's daughter, Antonia Michelle, who was reunited with during the term break a few years back. But that's a whole other story, one you may or may not be lucky enough to hear (probably not!)
Along the left wall there is a long table which goes the length of the room. On this table are many muggle items to look at and perhaps even play with, including computers, video monitors that might even pick up muggle television (who knows?), video game systems, cell phones, iPods, skateboards, yoyos, Playdough, Legos, various board games, and a huge variety of books on all subjects. Your eyes fall on this table longingly, perhaps you might have the chance to play with some of these items yourself if you are very good some time, you never know!
The thing that's really amazing, all of the objects you see in this room were underwater just last term, but have now been magically restored to their original splendor. But that's another long story, too... | |

Sarah smiled as she walked upto Professor Dumont office, she wanted to speak to him about his next lesson, she was hoping to find out when it would be, but she wasn't sure that the Professor would tell her, she smiled as she walked upto the door and was about to knock when she saw that the door was ajar and so she was curious and decided just to enter to see if anything was up, when she got in she saw that there was nothing wrong but she couldn't be bothered to leave the room and so she just sat on a chair and waited for the Professor to return.

Antonio was checking his inventory and turned around to see Sarah just sitting there, waiting for him and having entered the office without knocking. "How did you get in here?", he asked. He thought he specifically remembered closing the door and locking it, but he couldn't be certain. He had been unaware that the school was even open to the students at this point, and was just trying to get some things in order before he started making plans for his first lesson of the term.

Sarah looked up from her seat as she saw Professor Dumont. "I saw the door was open a little bit and I was worried something might have happened in here, you can't be too careful after what happened to that Professor in the Leaky Cauldron." Smiled Sarah as she continued to sit in her seat. "So Professor Dumont, how are you today?" She asked as she looked around the room to see what the Professor was doing.

"I'm fine," Antonio answered. "I'm just working on planning my first lesson, compiling materials and that sort of thing. I didn't realize that the door was open, but thank you for your diligence. I appreciate that and I agree, you can never be too careful, especially nowadays. So, how are you doing, Sarah?" The last time Antonio had seen Sarah had been in Diagon Alley, before the term started. He recalled that meeting, how Sarah had acted strangely, blaming him for her getting the flu when he had, in fact, probably saved her life last term during that flood. The girl was - interesting. He wasn't sure what to make of her.

"I hope they find out who killed that poor Professor, I think what happened to him was so bad, no one deserves to die like that." She sighed. "So did you do anything interesting over the summer?"

Antonio was a bit disturbed every time he thought about what had happened to poor Professor Forrester, and Sarah seemed to be bringing the matter up a lot, forcing him to think about it constantly. "I don't understand why anyone would have wanted to have killed him," he said simply. "He was a good man and a great teacher. He will definitely be missed." Then Sarah had asked him if he had done anything interesting over the summer, and that was something he was far happier to discuss. "I spent a lot of time with my daughter, Antonia," he said with a smile. "She'll be 5 this year, it's funny how quickly time flies. Before long she'll be a student at Hogwarts herself."

Antonio heard a knock on the door and answered it. He was just about ready to leave to get his lesson started, but perhaps it was some urgent business.

Larissa walked up to the door and knocked confidently. But then she back up a few feet from the door. She tapped her foot because she was nervous.

Antonio opened the door and saw a young Hufflepuff girl standing there, a girl he did not recognize. "Hello there," he greeted, opening the door. "I'm Professor Dumont, why don't you come inside?" He could see that the girl was upset about something.

Sarah knocked on the door, she was getting excited and she wasn't sure why, she knew she would have to wait for Dumont to answer the door, she didn't want to get into trouble, so she just stood there.

Antonio heard someone knocking on the door and stood up to answer it. He was surprised to see Sarah standing there. "Oh, hello, Sarah," he said, trying not to show shock in his voice. "Would you like to come in?" He held the door open.

She asked as she walked over to the professors desk and accidently knocked all the paper on the floor. "I'm sorry." Sarah smirked evily and then whispered. "Not."

Oh brother, Antonio thought to himself as the girl entered the room and then knocked all the papers onto the floor. And did she just say Professor Doughnut, or was he hearing things? "What brings you here, Sarah?", he asked, wondering if she was going to pick the papers up or not, having knocked them over. If only he had his wand!

If only he had his wand! "I was wondering how Professor Doughnut was doing?" Sarah smirked. "I was wondering if you have flooded anymore rooms." Sarah brushed her hair out of her eyes. She then accidently knocked some more things of his desk. "I am once again sorry." Sarah giggled and then whispered. "not." She was wondering when Professor Doughnut was going to ask her to sit down.

"What?", Antonio asked. "Exactly what are you talking about? If you remember correctly what happened last term, the flooding at Hogwarts was done by the merpeople." The students were lucky that he was around at the time it happened on the kitchen level, he thought with a snort of disgust. What was the matter with this girl, anyway? She continually insinuated that he had something to do with that disaster that happened last term, even blaming him for an illness she had suffered due to her own foolishness, and he was getting tired of it.

"I still say that it was your fault Professor Doughnut." Sarah smirk. "I was ill over the summer and it was all your fault." Sarah looked at Dumont. "So Professor Dumb what are you doing?" Sarah giggled as she looked at Professor Dumont.

"Well, go right ahead and continue thinking whatever makes you happy," Antonio mumbled. "And the name is Dumont, Professor Dumont." He glared at Sarah. "What does it look like I'm doing? I'm preparing the next lesson for you lot, that's what I'm doing."

"Oh I'm sorry, your name is Dumont, I had no idea." Sarah lied. "I am so sorry that your name is Dumont. "Sarah smiled. "I'll still call you Professor Doughnut, it's a better name."

Hi, sorry to see you are here with another student. Jason thinks this girl is off her rocker. He feels sorry for the professor. " I would like to help you set up your office and classroom for Christmas.' Jason said to Professor DuMont.Thinking to himself, Jason does not need this girl to help.

He had been thinking about decorating the classroom for the Christmas holidays, and now Jason was here volunteering to help with that. "That would be excellent, thank you. I need to get together a few things, get some of the decorations ready, but that would be great. Thank you!"

Sarah smirk as she knocked over the Professor desk. "Oh I could do this all day and there's nothing you can do."

"That's enough!", Antonio said. "I think I may have to get someone else in here to handle this after all. Jason, perhaps we should get one of the other professors in here to stop this mad destruction, maybe even the headmaster himself, what do you think?" Antonio was not in the mood for this kind of nonsense.
