Default of Jared Descoteaux

Jared's not big on formalities, but he likes a certain sense of decorum if possible. The door of the office is highly polished and, once you enter, the place carries the faint but lingering scent of expensive perfume. There's nothing special about the interiors - a big desk full of all sorts of drawers one can't see sits at the far end, facing a pair of high-backed chairs.

The only interesting things are - and perhaps not even those are interesting to the average person that enters - a medium-sized bookshelf full of old tomes, and a display that contains some of the things Professor Descoteaux has picked up on his travels, ancient and new, and gilded and worn-out. The office is enveloped in an invisible net of defensive spells to keep out intruders. There's a sneakoscope on the desk, and it spins all the time, though it has been charmed not to whistle.



Please knock before you enter.

Absently glancing down at the rubber turtle in her hand as she left the class room, unlike most others who were leaving Charms the Hufflepuff headed straight for the professor's office and paused as she reached the door, raising a hand to knock lightly on the hard wood.

Emmaleigh had come up to the third floor in hopes of finding a place to practice charms with the girl she had met in potions. The practice hall was the best place, but she had seen a notice that said she need permission to do charm work in there. So, she she was, in front of the professor's office. Taking a deep breath, she reached up and knocked on the door.

Jared, having left the classroom only after the last student had departed and he had gotten rid of the lake-of-sorts and dried himself, reached the door of the office on the other side of the floor to find two students already there. Katie, and a Hufflepuff about to knock.

"Hello," he said, mostly to Emmaleigh because she'd be the one expecting him to be inside and, stepping forward, let his wand unlock the door. It swung open, and the very faint but certainly lingering scent of expensive perfume seemed to diffuse into the surroundings.

"Please take a seat, both of you," Jared said, as the office lit itself and, approaching the chair behind his desk, he sat down.

"Oh, Hello." the little girl said, just a bit startled by the professors arrival. She followed him into the office, and let her eyes wander around the room, until the stopped upon a thing spinning on the desk. That thing was very odd looking. Em began to sit at the suggestion, until she hear the word "both." She looked around, and spotted the older girl for the first time. She smiled at her as she finished sitting down.

Looking up at the professor, she smiled at him too. "Um, I was just wondering if I could use the practice room to help a first year with some of her spells." The girl explained. "And I would like to get more practice with the spell from class as well." She added.

I agree, sir." She said with a slight nod. She would never run away from this, from her mother. That may have seemed like an easy solution, but she loved her mother. Even if she didn't understand.

Ellie smiled and took a sip of her tea. She took a cookie as well. "Thank you, Professor. These are delicious." After another sip, looked across the desk at him again. "And... thanks again. For your understanding, your sympathy and your advice; I really do appreciate it." She should probably get going soon, but the tea was soo good! it was getting late...

"You have the Hogwarts house elves to thank for that," Jared said, smiling faintly. "... and please don't mention it, Ellie." He didn't see compassion as something that ought to be thanked for. Picked up, returned if possible and passed on, certainly, but not thanked for.

He could only hope that her personal conflicts would equip her with the strength to face life with courage and optimism.

Jared nodded. "Of course," he said. "You'll have to tell me which spells, though." Better ask now, than be told later that the charm in question had been the kind that could poke someone's eye out.

As for the charms in class... "Feel free to practice those, Emmaleigh."

Wait.. why had she been about to knock, again? Katie blinked. She knew where Prof. D was, Charms had just been dismissed. She knew to wait, too. The Hufflepuff simply shook her head, pushing away the thoughts that were obviously clouding her mind.

As the professor appeared and open the door, Katie nodded lightly before following inside. She waited until her fellow Hufflepuff was seated before taking the other chair, shifting ever so slightly to get comfortable as she waited for the Professor to speak first. Because.. she had ideas of why she was here, but she wasn't absolutely sure.

"Well, we wanted to practice the Aguamenti charm. She's been having trouble controlling how much water she conjures." the young puff paused before stating the next spell, seeing as it was a little more dangerous. "And we would like to practice Incendio as well." Emmaleigh then shifted her gaze from the professor to that spinning thing on his desk; What a curious contraption.

"It's fine." Jared gave the boy a nod. The Ravenclaw had had to wait. "How may I help you, JP?"

Jared had a feeling the Hufflepuff might not open up in the presence of others, so he gave her a little nod for now. "If you could wait a moment, Kaitlynnh?" he asked, not unkindly.

Aguamenti. Basic transfiguration, but Jared knew it had been taught under the heading of 'Conjuration Charms' before. "Sure," he said, giving the Hufflepuff a faint smile. Incendio?

"Transfigurational spell," Jared said, mildly thoughtfully. But he had let a couple of Gryffindors practice it, only recently. "Go ahead, Emmaleigh."

The little puff smiled, "Thank you, Sir." she said enthusiastically. Her brows did furrow a bit at the mention of transfiguration. "Really?" she muttered, "I didn't know." For a moment or two, she wondered if they would be allowed to practice the spell, until she heard his next words. She was about to get up to leave when another question came to her mind. "Is there a spell to dry or siphon the water?" she asked. That would make cleaning the room easier.

Benjamin walked to the office of the charms prossor's office and knocked hard to ensure that the professor heard him knocking. "Professor, I'm Benjamin Trevors. I missed your last class. I'd really like to talk to about making up that credit, if I could.
"I'll wait out here until you're not busy." And so, Benjamin sat own in the corridor and opened his copy of the Charms book, and begain to read it. This is an interesting class. I must catch the next one.he thought to himself as he read the book. "Just look at all these spells I've missed. I could've learned more an more spells to help out my dueling skills. what a shame."

Life after Hogwarts? Jared had never had the castle for a school, but he could still relate. Obviously. "Far less sheltered," he said, tones matter-of-fact. "Stepping out of school means stepping into one's actual practical life. The decisions one has to make are more lasting." So to speak.

"I needed a change," Jared said, half-smiling at the question. To get his family to stop. Badgering, being anxious about and losing sleep because of, him. "I also wanted," he added thoughtfully, "To pass on some of my knowledge."

"Indeed. There's Tergeo and the Drought Charm, to begin with. The first can siphon a substance off an item, and the second evaporates liquids."

A student had decided to speak to him from outside the door. One of Jared's eyebrows twitched.

...

Right.

"Come in, Benjamin," he said, quite sure he did not want to reply in kind. Speaking to someone outside the door, from inside the office. He'd have to shout, to be heard properly.

"Of course, Professor." Katie agreed to wait patiently, however long that may be. Her small smile never wavered, glancing down once more at the rubber turtle. Maybe she would tell Johnny about it, next time she wrote home? Or.. maybe give it to him, when she went home for the holidays. He would probably like that.

Dark eyes looking up as another knock sounded on the door, Katie's gaze then turned to the professor. Sitting quietly, she couldn't help but wonder if she was really in a little bit of trouble for her behavior in class or if it was something else entirely.

The redhead nodded as she listened to the professor's explanation. It seemed to make since. Why hadn't it been explained like this before. Thinking about it, she asked, "So that would make Aguamenti a transfiguration spell to?" Well this was embarrassing, and she just knew that her cheeks were turning red.

So there were two spell that could get rid of the water. "Do you think it would be possible for me to learn one of the spells? you know, so I can clean up the practice room."

"France," Jared said. He paused for a moment, before speaking again. "I attended what you might call a specialists' school. It focused on magical creatures. You could think of it as a long-time internship."

Not precisely, but that might do.

I hope I'm not coming across as a first year, normally. But my father would want me to learn all that I can, and I want to learn all that I can. So can you please help me?"
"I suggest a map," Jared suggested, not unkindly. Quite a few students had told him they had missed, or been late to, classed because they had gotten lost, and a map seemed like an easy solution, at least until they became familiar with the castle.

As for catching up... "Of course. You can come to the Practice Hall, after classes tomorrow. We can work on the charms you missed in the lesson and, after that, any other suitable charms you'd like to learn."

Another knock?

"Come in," Jared called out.

So there were two spell that could get rid of the water. "Do you think it would be possible for me to learn one of the spells? you know, so I can clean up the practice room."
Jared gave Kaitlynnh a faint smile, as she agreed to wait. He didn't think she'd have to for long, really.

He turned to Emmaleigh, and nodded. "Basically, yes," he agreed. "It's still taught as a Conjuration Charm, but that stems from old custom. Basically," he went on, feeling like he should explain it and clear up the confusion. "Before the formation of a proper system of classification, spells were just that." Spells. There hadn't been rigid regulations and definitions in existence, then. "Aguamenti was termed a 'conjuration charm.' Later, as different branches of magic developed and fixed laws were formulated, charms and transfigurational spells were separated, and aguamenti officially came under the heading of the latter. It is however, as you might already know, still taught as a Conjuration Charm sometimes."

"Of course. I'm in the Practice Hall after classes, so if you head there later today or tomorrow, we could work one of those spells."

"Oh, okay, I think I get it now." she said after the mini lesson. And she was relieved to know that she hadn't been totally off the mark. Now she just had to remember all of this long enough to write it down in her notes.

Hearing that she would be allowed to learn the drying and siphoning spells, the girl smiled. "I would appreciate that Sir." She glanced at the other girl before saying, "Well, I guess I should go." She grabbed her bag and headed for the door. When she reached it, she turned around "Thank you for everything Professor D." With that, she opened to door and headed out. It was time to go practice.

"I'm glad." Jared half-smiled.

"It wasn't a problem, Emmaleigh." He was here to share his knowledge. "You're welcome to come back anytime, if you have more questions." He rose to his feet, closing the door gently behind her, before turning around, stepping back up to his desk, and sitting down in the chair parked behind it.

"Kaitlynnh..." He turned to the Hufflepuff that remained in his office. "I can't say I'm expecting a straight answer here, but I still have to ask... Is everything alright?"

Not precisely, but that might do.

"Really? That's brilliant! How did you come about to getting the Charms Professor Position. I am surprised you didn't go for care of magical creatures."

Once again, her dark eyes fell upon the green turtle bath toy, her fingers tracing the lines on the smooth rubber shell, letting her mind wander just a little bit until they took a wrong turn and she pushed them away with a slight shake of her head, one hand reaching up to brush a dark, unruly curl from in front of her face.

Noticing her fellow Hufflepuff glance toward her, Katie said nothing but offered a polite smile and watched as the younger girl rose from her seat, leaving the office in a few short words. Then the professor's attention was on her. Katie silently shifted a bit in her seat, gaze lifting to meet Professor Descoteaux's as he spoke, her dark eyes blinked at his words. Not because his question was surprising.. it was actually what he had said before that, that puzzled her. "In what way do you mean, Professor?" In class? School in general? Or.. "If this is about class, I am sorry about that. About asking to be excused and all, I..," What exactily could she say to explain her behavior, without explaining what had been on her mind? What was on her mind. "I'm usually a lot better in Charms. I couldn't seem to focus.." For obvious reasons. SPOON throwing was not meant for classes.

Hugo entered. "Hey professor. Can I help you with anything?" Hugo said carefully. Some teachers didn't take his will to help well. However, he always came for something else. Just to bond a bit with the new teachers, he wanted to give them a hand in their everyday chores.
