Outside of Professor Reynolds' office, you see two benches sitting on either side of the door. Next to these benches are a few potted plants to add some color to the corridor, and on the opposite wall is a pretty tapestry of zodiac constellations for you to look at while you wait.

If you need to see Professor Reynolds, please knock on the door and have a seat on the bench until he calls you in!


OOC: Please post here if you wish to see Nolan for whatever reason. You MUST wait for me to RP Nolan coming out and addressing your character in THIS thread before entering his office. Do NOT simply post your charrie knocking here and then proceed straight into his office without invitation. Nolan will NOT like that!

Chris had been excited for this term's Divination lessons and had even splurged to buy Professor Dumont a package of Tarrot cards with pictures of celestial bodies and stars on them. Chris was then a bit bummed when last night at the feast he had learned that the Professor had left them. He would be missed by Chris and so Chris had a new plan, he would use the cards as a welcome to the new Divination Professor.

So that was why the Head Boy found himself climbing the stairs higher and higher into the Divination Tower. When he finally reached the landing he walked into the new seating/waiting area looking around through the warm and stifling place. He walked over the bench closest to the door and sat down, the bright purple wrappings of th epresent glistened in the sunlight.

A visitor, already? Nolan certainly wasn't expecting visitors this soon! He wandered outside his office to see the Head Boy sitting there, holding--WAS THAT A PRESENT?!

"Ahh, Mr...Head Boy," he said with a smile. He forgot the boys name! There had been so many of them introducing themselves to him at the feast--it was hard to keep track. "I take it you're here for a visit? Surely no one has gotten in a ton of trouble already?" he asked with a grin.

Ehh. Wait. That wasn't entirely true. There were those Slytherin kids...bleh.

"Come on in," he said, beckoning for the boy to follow him into his office.

As he sat in the warm room waiting for the new Professor, Chris suddenly became a bit nervous to see who would come out of the office. What if it was some mean, fussy old lady who would scream at him for disrupting her aora? Or a big man who would step out and take up most of the waiting area with his mean bulkiness? Whichever it was, was coming soon because Chris heard the door begin to creak open and he looked straight ahead until he was addressed by a suprisingly pleasent voice. Whew...!

After hearing the kind greating, Chris turned his head to face a man who was slightly taller than him, had glasses, and was pretty young. He looked like he was a cool guy after all. "Hello Professor..." panic, Chris had no clue what his name was! "sirrr." he finished uncooly with a embarressed little grin.

When he was addressed as 'Head Boy', the Gryffindor was confused at first but then looked down at his chest and realized the man was talking about the golden badge he had recently recieved. "Oh yeah," he chuckled finally calming down a bit. "It's a bit hard to get used to this thing. Yes I am just here for a visit. I hope there isn't any trouble yet. Well you know anything major." he laughed. After thanking the Professor Chris began to follow him back towards the open office door.

HOLY CRAP!

Why in the world was the Divination classroom all the way up on the top floor? In fact, whose bright idea was it to have seven floors to this place? Well, whoever they were, Demarcus was not very pleased with them at all. Do you know exactly how many stairs he had managed to climb? He had counted each and every one of them (no promises saying that he didn’t lose count), and it turned that there were … well … A LOT of stairs.

Panting from having to walk the long journey from the Hufflepuff common room to the seventh floor, the Hufflepuff couldn’t help himself from leaning against the wall. How in the world was he going to do this every day for the rest of the school year? He wasn’t exactly fit like a buff Quidditch player. Demarcus was just a fifteen year old boy for Merlin’s sake!

But that wasn’t going to stop him from meeting the Divination professor. No, no. Demarcus was not one to easily give up on things, even if it meant killing his poor, little feet in the process. There had to be a way for him to avoid all of those stairs to get from floor to floor quicker. He’d worry about that later, though. Right now he needed to find that classroom or the professor’s office, whichever came up first.

Demarcus did not have to look very hard once he had discovered the door to the Divination professor’s office. At least, it looked like the entrance to a professor’s office from where he was standing in the corridor. There were benches and a few potted plants lying around, so this just had to be the man’s office.

The boy was just about to go knock on the door, but he got distracted by the tapestry hanging on the opposite wall. And, of course, he went to get a good look at it. He jumped excitedly, realizing that zodiac constellations were on it, and stared at the piece of art in front of him with his mouth opened wide in awe. It sure was PRETTY!

The Head Boy had just left Nolan's office, and as the door was closing he happened to catch a glimpse of someone else outside the door, staring at the tapestry. As he wandered out of his office, he wrinkled his brows and stared at the boy. Was he coming to visit him or just--gawk at his tapestry? If he was visiting, then it was a good thing that he had come out to check on him--who knew how long that poor fella would be standing out there, staring at the tapestry aimlessly?

"Erm, excuse me, can I help you?" the professor asked him.

Simon walked in tears upto the waiting area, of the Professor that had help Amy in the kitchen corridor, he was still upset about what had happened and so he had come to talk to the Professor, he hoped that the Professor didn't mind, he'd wanted some advice about things.

Simon was about to knock on the door when he saw that the Professor was talking to someone there, he decided he would just sit on the chair and hope that the Professor wouldn't be long with the other student, he was trying to stop the tears but was finding it hard too, he was still blaiming himself for what could have happened to Amy.

Lucky was making her way down the seventh floor corridor, heading in the direction of Professor Dude's office. She hadn't seen him since Diagon Alley, wait... no, that was wrong. She had seen him at the feast, but she hadn't talked to him Diagon Alley! He was probably just dyingggg to talk to her at the moment because she was awesome and it was just hard going day after day not talking to her. Yeppp! No, she was NOT full of herself.

The clicking of her shoes against the stone floor stopped once she spotted the Professor just outside his office with two guys near him. She crossed her hands over her chest as she eyed the two boys, and then she looked at Professor Dude.

She was just going to have to wait to talk to him. HMPH.

Suddenly, Nolan found himself in a predicament. As he was addressing the boy who was still staring off into space, the young Hufflepuff boy from the incident in the kitchens earlier walked into the area, along with that Lucky girl from Diagon Alley.

Well, the crying one had to go first obviously. Since he was obviously distraught!

"If you'll excuse me, it appears we have some sort of crisis on our hands," Nolan said to the boy he had addressed earlier, and then he glanced at Lucky. "If you two will kindly wait out here until I'm done." he said before gesturing for the young Hufflepuff to follow him into his office.

Violet nervously walked to the waiting room for professor Reynolds, what she wanted to apoligise to him. She gave a little knock on the door and sat down on a bench.

Torin decided that he wanted to visit Nolan after meeting him in DA during the summer. But he still maintained that the guy was a dork.

He knocked on the door and waited.

As soon as Simon left the office, Nolan was back out again. So many visitors, and still SO much work he had left to do for his lesson. Hmm, maybe if he called them all in at once?

"Alright, if you're all here to visit me, you can come on in," he said. "Miss Torelli, Miss Riddle, Mr...Prefect, and erm...Young Man Looking at the Tapestry," he added, still wondering what that kid was doing.

OOC: Feel free to post yourselves entering the Office thread, and Nolan will follow shortly :]

Lucky took her attention away from the tapestry when Professor Dude got finished talking with the boy that had looked like he was going through some sort of crisis? Eh, she didn't know. All she knew was that she had been waiting out here for merlin knew how long, but WHY was he calling everyone in? What happened to the private conversations? HMM?

"I think I'll just stay out here," she stated with a little grin. "While you talk to those three."

As she headed over to one of the benches, she might have stuck her foot out in front of Torin, so that he would trip. Hehehe.

Stay out here? Why on EARTH would she want to stay in the waiting area unless...she wanted to DO something. Maybe swap out the dirt in his potted plants with dung? HE was ON to her!

"Fine, if you insist," he said. As he spoke, he turned to follow the students into the room, only to see Lucky stick her foot out obnoxiously so the prefect could trip over it. Great.

Sigh. "Miss Torelli--" he began, only to hear a giant CRASH from inside the office moments later. OH NO! His dear crystal ball! Forgetting completely about Lucky, he rushed through the door of his office to see what had happened.

This was absolutely ABSURD! After all, what were the chances that the same wizard who happened to be her house prefect also wound up TEACHING at the same institution as her, starting in the same year. Little to none, Fina knew. It didn't take numbers or rocket science to figure that one out.

Yet she had this feeling; which she knew wasn't to be trusted, but she couldn't shake it either. Not as she saw the benches or the zodiac tapestry. She had to know for herself. And if nothing else, she'd meet a colleague. Which couldn't be bad, right? Right.


But the last thing Josephina expected to find was a STUDENT waiting outside his office. One that seemed rather overdressed for school and NOT taking Arithmancy, evidently.

But she needed to see the glasses-wearing professor too. Undoubtedly for a different reason than this student, who probably wanted divining assistance. Unless she was one of his fangirls? Noting the heels, this was probably likely, actually.

With a light sigh, the Arithmancy professor took a seat on the other bench from the girl, crossing her legs and resting her hands on her knees.

Somehow, she knew this wasn't going to be the visit she hoped for . . .

Rae must be foolish to actually be outside her professor's office to ask these questions in her head. She felt that she had nothing else to do. She paced a bit in the corridor then completely disregarding the benches she leaned her back on the wall then slid down until she was sitting on the floor with her knees propped up. The lesson's prediction thing had been on her mind ever since she was in the Flower Garden.

As Nolan watched the prefect and Violet leave his office, he noticed a number of people were waiting outside now. Goodness! He was popular, wasn't he? Tee hee! Smiling to himself, he saw that Lucky was still there, as was...one of the professors? Coolness! He still hadn't met all of them yet, and now they were seeking HIM out. Hehe. Fantastic!

"Miss Torelli, would you like to be seen now?" he asked, before addressing the professor and the Slytherin girl he recognized from his classes. "You may all come in as well if you'd like," he added with a grin.



OOC: Anyone wanting to RP coming in as a group can post next in my office thread

One down, one to go.

Raiden made his way up to the Divination professor's office; it wasn't far from Professor Kingsley's office, just the next floor up, which... well that was why he'd gone here second. Choosing once again to not sit down, he instead leaned against the wall near the door.

He'd wait until the group already here were done. Yup. He crossed his arms, his prefect badge only half-visible, and waited.

Lina made her way up to the Divination office, unsure of what she was going to say. It all sounded kind of crazy to her, to be honest. She blinked a moment, surprised to see Raiden there. With a cheeky grin she approached him. "Whatcha in for?"

Celandine was a little startled to see Raiden and Lina both waiting too. She approached a bit nervously, obviously tempted to turn on her heel and flee to the Ravenclaw common room.

This was something she had to do though.

Cadence made her way up the stairs to Professor Reynolds's office, the tray of cupcakes levitating in front of her so she didn't have a klutz moment and trip up the stairs and destroy them. She was, after all, on a super special secret mission, and to fail would be disappointing a very lovely person, so smashing the cupcakes simply wold not do. As she approached the office, she knocked on the door three times. Afterwards she grabbed the cupcake pan and ended the levitation spell, waiting outside the door expectantly, the plate four chocolate cupcakes (two with white frosting and two with pink) in her hands, the note reading "Professor Nolan Reynolds" facing the office door.

Nolan KNEW there was a giant crowd forming outside his door, even though it was closed--it was one of those weird feelings he got every once in a while. Sure enough as he walked out, there were...he paused to count heads...SIX people waiting for him?

"Alright everyone, squeeze on in here...I'm afraid unless I see you all at once, you'll be here until exam time waiting on me," he said with a grin. With that, he opened the door and held it open for everyone to file on in.


OOC: As much as I'd LOVE to see all of you individually, everyone will be waiting into NEXT term if we go one by one. I know some of you would rather play one on one, but in Nolan's busy and bustling office that's just not going to be possible in the near future :[ Sorry!

Oh. Raiden looked at Lina and half-smiled, then at Cela. He'd been about to tell Lina why he was there, had even opened his mouth to speak and everything, when the professor appeared at the door.

"Nothing big," he murmured to Lina, slipping past her and into the professor's office. Just to find out what he'd missed in class and apologise. Sigh. This professor seemed nice already (he was grinning and everything) so hopefully he'd react in the same manner as Professor Kingsley.

Lucky might as well go in with the group since all she had to do was give something to Professor Dude... and then she was going to go get some food from the Great Hall. This little trip was only going to take two seconds at the most!

Finally standing up, she headed straight into the office.

Cela followed along, though she wasn't sure she wanted just anybody to hear what she thought she was going to say. Nope. Muffliato? Maybe? Humm.

She slipped inside.
