Default Office of Professor Abraham Botros


After being allowed to walk through the two polished doors, you're most likely to be welcomed by professor Botros' Crup, Feo. The office is relatively larger than expected, with bookshelves lining the walls, along with artifacts, figures of runes of all alphabets (duh), and several copies of The Pocket-hanky Ultimate Board. To the right and right after you see a basket with a bunch of walking canes inside, there is a small coffee table with a bunch of rolls and parchment on top, a vase of red roses is always perched up too and professor Botros sometimes is seen watering or wiping their leaves gently with his hands. Next to that coffee table is a higher stool with nothing hovering over it anymore.

There are two elegant chairs facing each other and placed right in front of the main desk in the room where you're supposed to sit once Ab ushers you to do so. His desk is as tidy as it is crowded with parchments, books, his spare glasses, and colorful pieces of clothes that you soon will discover it's an unfolded pocket-hanky. To the far end of the desk, safely away from the guests, sit several family muggle pictures of a young man with glasses, and a young woman leaning against that young man. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that this is professor Botros fifty years ago, and then him with his beautiful wife.

On the back of the big door, there is a new parchment with a cute doodle drawn on it. It's the first student souvenir Ab received from his students. To the side of that paper hung a small piece of wood, and then a pendant shaped as a box with some dust inside. A letter (from Tobias Tempus) in runic alphabet was a little below, with a polaroid photograph of Botros and his Crup by the fireplace (By Marco Branxton), and an origami elephant (from Ella Bishop).

OOC: please do not post in here until after posting in the seating area thread and being invited in by the professor himself. Posting in here without an invitation will result in deleting your post, and you getting a frowny face from me.

Ab waved his wand at the door to let it swing open and the poor visitor get tackled by Feo.
And the door was opening...

Aaaaaaaaaaand...

"Feo!" Toby exclaimed gleefully, spotting the little Crup coming right at him and instantly dropping down to his knees to give the creature a proper hello. Oh boy, how long had it been since he saw him? Toby didn't know exact dates, and in any case he was busy cuddling and petting Feo and spoiling him with attention. After a few moments of this, Toby suddenly seemed to remember where he was and looked up to the occupant of the office. "Hi Professor Botros," he greeted the man, a grin on his face.

Feo adored this Hufflepuff boy for a reason, all the attention and hugs and petting that were rewarded with a nice amount of drool on the boy's face. Feo's tails were cut off but he'd be wiggling them rapidly if not.

"Hello Tobias." Botros was seated at one of the chairs in front of his desk, a pile of papers and folders in front of him. He was never eager for paperwork but the more responsibilities you take on, the more those piles seem to grow. He fixed his reading glasses on his nose, smiling back and watching his Crup harass Tempus with wet dog kisses. "Would you make us tea? Over there?" The boy was to be trusted with this after all those years, really. Abraham pointed at the coffee table positioned by the bookshelves with the tea set and all ingredients on it.

If Tobias was bothered by the deliverance of drool from Feo, he didn't show it, but then what was the likelihood that something like that would ever bother him. The Hufflepuff simply grinned and continued to lavish attention on his favourite Crup.

"Sure thing," he nodded, petting Feo for just a few moments more before straightening up and properly closing the door behind him. Toby wasted no time at all in heading straight for the coffee table and preparing the tea, as Botros had asked, happy to be doing something to keep those fidgety hands of his busy. When it was set up and ready to go, Toby picked up the tray (always preferring those muggle methods) and headed over to the Professor's desk, making sure he wasn't about to trip over Feo on the way.

"How was your summer, sir?"

"Come in." Botros waved his wand and the door swung open as Feo randomly jumped at the tiny pink woman standing there.
Hearing Ab call her in and see the door open she grinned firstly to the man and then to the happy puppy. "Hello cutie pie, how are you today." Bending down to show it some love she kept her bag up, though her little travelers were very familiar with dogs and didn't mind. They were sleeping nicely in their comfy travel bag. "Hellllllllo" She beamed as she stood a bit straighter and moved into the office more.

"I hope you don't mind me stopping by, I thought it was just a perfect day for a visit and some tea, plus I didn't get to talk to you much at the feast with all the other excitement that was going on." How fun was the feast and all the crazy that was going on. She still couldn't believe she had kissed the catman's head. Goodness.

"I brought some of my favorite peppermint tea, I do hope you like peppermint." If he didn't they could probably get Pips or another house elf to get them something different or maybe he had some here, she had heard he was a tea man.

"How was your summer, sir?"
Botros smiled in relief when the boy seemed willing to make them tea this time. Knowing him, it was probably a better option than just sit there tapping his feet and patting his hands on his knees as always. Not that it bothered Botros, but he'd rather make use of this energy. "Oh, you know, the usual. The big family gathered in the manor in Alexandria, we had a splendid two and a half months together. The kids are growing, more kids are being made, Merlin help me to live long enough to see them all grow to make a significant change in this world." It wasn't a solemn wish, it was a hopeful one delivered with a beam from the old man's face.

Feo was prancing excitedly behind Tobias as he brought the tea over to the desk. The old man smiled wider at him and took a teacup, "Thank you, son. What about your summer? Are you satisfied with your OWLs?" Ab had a pretty clear and accurate idea about the results, and he was proud of Tobias in general, but he wanted to hear it from the boy's mouth.

Botros turned to the door, lowering his reading glasses and yep! It was the little nice professor Morgan. He gave her a warm smile before taking off the spectacles and watching his Crup do the excited greeting his old weary bones weren't capable of. "Hello, dear." He chuckled, watching his pet prance around the woman happily.

"Sure, sure, I'm always up for some tea. I've been wanting to have some for a while but when you're sitting here on your own, you never get the motivation to leave the work in your lap for tea." He rambled, standing up and heading towards the coffee table by the bookshelves to start on the water. "The excitement at the table... that's a pretty nice way of putting it. It was a whirlwind of a day, the students went a little overboard with the fighting, though." He pursed his lips, clearly disappointed. Annie had to deal with all that mess, though, he appreciated that she didn't ask him to assist her there.

Peppermint tea! "I love all kinds of tea. I bring some with me from Egypt or Morocco. Let's try yours today, I'm eager to use the mug professor Flamsteed gifted me." Botros beamed and tapped the teapot with his wand to make it boil.

Grinning from ear to ear the blonde looked back to the crup again. [b] "You are just such a happy one aren't you." Pulling her bag around, Cassie sorted through it not disturbing Aries or Gemini. "I think.. oh yes I do. I have some of Libra's puppy treats in here. Would you like one if your daddy says it's alright?" She looked over at Ab as he headed to the table.

He was always up for tea. YAY!! That was just wonderful news, did he know that it was her favorite thing. She loved to just chat over a nice cup of peppermint tea. She thought and quickly threw the thought at that maybe she could read his tea leaves, but she wouldn't invade his space like that. No, that could be another time. "Were you busy? Oh goodness, I could come back." She would hat to interrupt his work.

"Oh yes, well the excitement of the new term and being a teenager that happens at times I guess. They are all such good kids though, I just know Annie will get it all straightened around and they will all just be little darlings from now on." She gave encouraging snaps thinking about it. Yes, the students were just too excited she was sure of it. "I just loved the dress Airey gave Cece, I think it would be super fun to have a dress up feast one time." How Ah-mazing would that be. [b] "Anyway, I didn't get to congratulate you properly of become the head of house for Hufflepuff."[/]b She was certainly beaming and snapping for him with that. Her old house had gotten a wonderful leader.

Pulling out the tea she set in on the table, "Peppermint is my favorite, it is such a nice relaxer for when you need to get into a calmer state for divination, plus I just love the smell of it." That and it was quite yummy. "It's always fun to try out a new mug. I have so many in my office, but I always seem to find cute new ones that I just have to have." She had a fabulous collection of very odd shape mugs.

Are you satisfied with your OWLs?" Ab had a pretty clear and accurate idea about the results, and he was proud of Tobias in general, but he wanted to hear it from the boy's mouth.
Toby nodded. He recalled Botros' usual summer plans, as they'd sort of been over this a few times before. He was still just as eager to hear about it all, though, even if Professor Botros' little statement about 'living long enough' DID make him feel as though the bottom of his stomach had dropped out or something. A look at his face prompted a grin from Toby, too, because he was able at least to pick up on the fact that it was a positive sort of statement. Still... that sort of talk made him nervous. "Well, I totally hope so too, sir," Toby replied, making a redundant but nevertheless true statement as he beamed right back.

Now in a seat for himself, settled and with a cup of tea, Toby took a sip and idly reached down to pet Feo again with his free hand, that blissfully comfortable 'right at home' sort of feeling already sinking in. He really didn't ever feel right being back until they'd had this first meeting of the term. It was awesome.

"My summer was great," Toby said brightly, nodding eagerly. "Some great family stuff happened, of course, and I spent a lot of time training with the U17 Quidditch team, and I went to stay with Ella for a while, too. It was nice to relax, after... after the OWLs." Those OWLs. Toby hadn't known stress until his fifth year, that was for sure, and had absolutely worked himself into the ground for them. But instead of saying any of that, the Hufflepuff only met Botros with an even wider grin than before, and nodded his head. "Absolutely. I mean, I'm really proud of myself; I was surprised at how I did. History of Magic and Arithmancy have always been my most difficult subjects, so I'm really happy I managed to get those grades. My family was super proud of me, too. I hope I can do the same for my NEWTs." To pass all twelve. That was the goal.

Toby made to sip his tea again, but then a thought crossed his mind and he glanced over at the back of the door. Seeing the letter still there, Toby grinned to himself and spoke again. "The Runes practical was probably my favourite. Have to say it." Ehehe.

She had a fabulous collection of very odd shape mugs.

... hmm? His daddy? Was that Botros? The old man turned from the table where he was preparing their tea and smiled widely, "Sure, sure. You're instantly his favorite if you cherish him with treats like that." He laughed and looked ahead again, letting professor Morgan take care of his Crup and give him the attention he demanded.

"No, no. I do need to rest my eyes for a while. Merlin, the paperwork has always been my least favorite about my job for all those years." He chuckled and shook his head, finally having the water boiled and nice. He poured it into the pot and started setting the tea set on the tray. It was also his favorite 'activity', if you could call it that, when he had company.

Aw, she was definitely a Hufflepuff having that stream of thought about the little kids rather than being unreasonably pessimistic about it all. Ab brought the tray to the small end table between the chairs in front of his desk and sat down on one of them. "They've gone a little too eager this year." He smiled and waited for her to drop her tea leaves in the pot. "But I agree. Nothing we can't handle." Or Annie, but poor woman he didn't want her to deal with the little kids alone.

Now, professor Morgan was talking about the Healer's childish dress at the feast. He couldn't help but laugh at that, "Oh that was.. I'm glad you liked that, I believe you and professor Flamsteed were the only two who enjoyed it." The healer certainly hadn't. As for her idea of a... dressup feast? Hmm. "I'm not so savvy with costumes, but if you all plan one, I'll be prepared." Maybe wear a suit and be done with it. "Aw, thank you, dear. It's so considerate of you." He reached to squeeze her hand gently in appreciation. He truly liked all his colleagues like they were family, even if he'd worked with them for a short time relatively (with him old age and all).

The tea! Botros happily dropped her peppermint tea into the pot once she took it out and let it brew for a while. "I didn't know you were a tea fan, let me be honest." She was so bubbly, he'd thought of exploding lemons or something equally strong. "Maybe you could read our cups after we drink them, then. Haven't had someone read my tea in forever." Only if she wanted to, of course.

Botros smiled widely at Tobey when he... confirmed? Hoped the same, yes. Abraham was careful about those things with the kids, they were especially perceptive to every word and vibe their professors gave out.

Feo had occupied his usual spot right there by Tobias' seat, Botros watched them warmly and sipped from his own cup of tea. Mmmmm, the boy was a tea master as well as a runes master as of last term. Heh heh heh. Abraham cracked himself up sometimes. He kept his lame jokes to himself, he learned that from trying to share them with his grandkids.

Toby's summer sounded happily crowded it brought a small relieved smile on Ab's face. "Oh? Great job." He responded to the Quidditch news, encouragingly. Then he mentioned visiting Ella... Botros patiently tried to remember who Ella was, he'd known the name very very well and it was recently that he'd heard it so she was probably--oh! Yes. He remembered now, the head girl from a couple years ago. Yes. Now he smiled more confidently at Toby. "That's exactly what you should've done, relax. Don't even worry about those two, yeah." The old man has already noticed that Tobias was more positive in his attitude in general. There were no words to describe how glad and happy he was knowing that his family was keeping him in such a positive set of mind.

The Runes practical? Of course, he would. Botros grinned at him with his wrinkly face and looked back at the door where his very first runic letter hung there from years ago. "I was relieved when I saw the question." And that meant he wasn't dropping Ancient Runes now, was he? Abraham wouldn't want to pressure the boy but... he would be lying if he said he wouldn't be a bit sad...

Puff by day, snake by night | Mj's bestie | Always UP to Something...

She giggled at the crup, he was sooo cute! Handing him a treat and patting him on his little adorable head she beamed toward Ab, "Maybe he can come play with Libra when she is around." She had her puppy at puppy daycare most days, but she'd bring her for a play date. "I don't mind being his favorite." She grinned back at the crup once more. Lifting her green eyes once more happy he didn't mind an interruption. "I can understand that. I've had a bit myself, but you probably have so much more with Gobstones and Head of House now." Merlin she looked up to the man, he had so many responsibilities at the school and did them all so well.

"Eager is so fun when put to good use, hopefully their energy will change to using the eagerness for more appropriate things." She was sure they were just too excited and would settle soon. Nodding with the handling part, she hadn't had to handle too much, her biggest challenge that she remembered was convincing Alexa Cambridge that her class was not just some rubbish.

She giggled a bit more, "Oh I think others enjoyed it too. " She hoped Cece liked the dress, though she did give it to her quickly, which was fine. She adored wearing the pretty pink princess dress. It was just so fun! Smiling at his hand squeeze, he was a lovely man, she did adore their time together. "You would look brilliant in a kings costume, I just know you would." This was a must! They just had to wear costumes.

"Tea is a very big part of my work actually. Not just for readings, Peppermint being a natural relaxer I tend to drink it to get more relaxed before preforming any type of Divination, but I love the smell and the taste of it so I just have to have cups all day as well." She had gotten hooked a long time ago. Her eyes grew at his next words. COULD SHE REALLY!!!! Trying to keep her calm she snapped just a bit, "I would love to do a reading." OHMYGOSH she was going to get to read Abraham's tea leaves, this was soooo exciting!!

Feo had occupied his usual spot right there by Tobias' seat, Botros watched them warmly and sipped from his own cup of tea. Mmmmm, the boy was a tea master as well as a runes master as of last term. Heh heh heh. Abraham cracked himself up sometimes. He kept his lame jokes to himself, he learned that from trying to share them with his grandkids.

Toby's summer sounded happily crowded it brought a small relieved smile on Ab's face. "Oh? Great job." He responded to the Quidditch news, encouragingly. Then he mentioned visiting Ella... Botros patiently tried to remember who Ella was, he'd known the name very very well and it was recently that he'd heard it so she was probably--oh! Yes. He remembered now, the head girl from a couple years ago. Yes. Now he smiled more confidently at Toby. "That's exactly what you should've done, relax. Don't even worry about those two, yeah."

"I was relieved when I saw the question." And that meant he wasn't dropping Ancient Runes now, was he? Abraham wouldn't want to pressure the boy but... he would be lying if he said he wouldn't be a bit sad...


Feo was one lucky crup right now, because Toby was giving him aaaaaaaaaall the ear scratches in the world, quite happy to bestow oodles of affections on the creature. He was trying to do the ear petting and the tea drinking at the same time, but that was tricky, so instead Toby alternated between the two: sip, pet pet pet, siiiiiiip, pet pet pet. It was working well enough.

"I feel super relaxed now, of course," the sixth year replied, though he was vaguely aware that his sort of 'relaxed' was much more bouncy and fast-paced than a lot of other people's. "At least, my brain is. The academic part, I mean. Probably a little too relaxed, but not for long, I bet." Hogwarts classes were stimulating at the very least. "I'm going for twelve NEWTs as well, so I've been trying to make the most of the break from school and stuff."

Toby was all smiles as he spoke, which was a pretty regular thing for him, of course.

Professor Botros had been relieved? At the question. Hey, something in common.

"Me too, Professor," Tobias said, nodding fervently. "Ancient Runes is one of my best subjects, and I wanted my exam to prove that, and it all worked out great. I put a lot of pressure on myself with all my exams, but it worked out great, so I'm very happy with all of it." Oop, was he rambling? Probably. Tobias gave a sheepish, but still cheerful, grin as he carefully swilled his tea around the cup and took another sip.

OHMYGOSH she was going to get to read Abraham's tea leaves, this was soooo exciting!!

"Libra is your Crup?" Botros inquired some, he felt rather bad for not being so close to his younger colleagues. The age was a significant barrier between him and the rest of them, but he was interested in their well-being and lives. He did have fun with Airey and Medea this summer, for example, so maybe he should make more effort to hang out with the rest of the young professors. "Gobstones is not so hard to manage, Leo helps me quite some bless him. But being deputy is quite intense sometimes." He chuckled and leaned back in his chair, deciding to ignore the pile in front of him.

"Yes, maybe we can help them with that. I'm trying to utilize that energy and enthusiasm in some fun class activities." He scratched his bald scalp thoughtfully. But look at her enthusiasm, oh Merlin. Botros chuckled sheepishly at her King's costume comment. Oh Merlin.

Needless to say, he was so pleased with professor Morgan's love for peppermint tea. He sipped from his cup and smiled broadly at her. "Oh I would love to have you read my cup, yes. I had a neighbor when I lived in Cairo, and she was from Egyptian gypsies roots, really old but had quite the insight. I'm not sure what became of her after we moved, though..." He wondered out loud, taking yet another sip. "What kind of divination is your favorite, professor?" He knew quite a lot of them himself.

A little too relaxed, Botros laughed at that and nodded. "Most of my students get too relaxed after OWLs, I think it's a natural transition." He sipped from his tea. "Twelve NEWTs is very ambitious, I'm pleased you're considering it." He truly was pleased even his eyes were smiling behind his small spectacles. "You can do it, you have the enthusiasm and the will." There was no reason for him not to succeed except if he let those teenage hormones get the best of him. Abraham had seen things get out of hand emotionally for so many poor boys, it made him wary of certain things and determined to lend his ear to whoever wanted someone to listen.

Aww, the old man nodded along Toby's sweet admitting of Ancient Runes being one of his favorite subjects. He would've been quite disappointed if it wasn't, to be honest, but he never voiced out those thoughts to his students in case it put extra pressure on them. "You did really well. Your name's carved on the Odin's board, too." It was a big deal, that board. To Abraham, at least.

She grinned at Ab, “Libra is my Maltese actually. She’s a muggle breed.” She was just too adorable not to get from the shelter when she saw the cute little face needing love. She just was adoring her new addition so much. Ooooh and he was talking about Gobstones and her favorite person, she couldn’t help but snap hearing both. “I try to come to all the matches, it just looks so fun! I never played, but Leo has helped me learn the game. Airey even helped me some. I think I finally figured it out.” She giggled a bit at herself, she knew many thought the game was pretty easy to get, but none of them knew her and sports. “I bet it is, at least the Hufflepuffs don’t seem to have too much trouble.” Good little Hufflepuffs, just like when she was in school.

That was a great idea!! She was snapping happily again, “Class activities are totes the greatest! We will have to get together and do a joint lesson. You do know that there is Ancient Runes in Divination.” She knew he knew it, but she was going to say it anyway. “I’m rubbish at Ancient Runes, but if you are there you can do that part of it.” She beamed, how honored would she be to have Abraham Botros teaching a class with her! “I’m hoping the kids will like my lessons this term. Half the year is going to be studying cat behaviors and how it is used in Divination. So don’t freak out if she see an extra cat or two wondering the castle.” Thanks to her shelter friends she was going to have enough for students to get to see.

Blowing on her tea cup, she loved her tea hot, but not burning her tongue. That was too ouchy for her. Finally sipping she grinned, this was just so exciting! “Egyptian Gypsie, OHMYGOSH! That had to be soooo great! I would love to have met her.” She found gypsies the most interesting people, “I would be honored to read your leaves.” YAY! This was going to be so fun. “My favorite Divination, oh that is a hard one. I enjoy so many, but Astrology has to be my favorite. I just love to figure out everyone’s signs and birth charts. It helps you learn so much about who you are and what your future will hold.”

Your name's carved on the Odin's board, too." It was a big deal, that board. To Abraham, at least.
There was a lot of enthusiastic nodding coming from Toby. Really... he didn't even know why he was going for twelve NEWTs anymore, especially after the OWLs had taken so much out of him. But he'd started with that goal and now it seemed unthinkable to change that goal in anyway. Toby was nothing if not relentless when it came to achieving what he sent out to do.

"Well..." he said, distractedly swirling his tea around its cup. "I guess I don't really have any idea what I'd like to do apart from Quidditch, like if I don't get onto a pro team or as a plan for after I retire, if I do. I don't know if university would be a good idea for me, but I think my dad really wants me to go, but I have no idea what I'd do." But but but. "Sooooo... I figured... why not cover all bases? Get as many OWLs and NEWTs as I can and leave my options open if I ever need them, y'know?" Bleh. Thinking about the future was starting to have a weird effect on Toby, something he'd noticed as of late. Like, he still found it super exciting... but also kinda terrifying too. It was better to just live in the moment.

And AS FOR THAT BOARD. Toby suddenly broke into a wide grin. "I saw it, yep. I've been trying to get my name up there forever. Sorta 'cause Ella's name is up there too but also..." He shrugged. "It's always nice to get on those things, y'know? Feels super awesome."

Toby drank some more tea and reached down to pet Feo some more. Lovely crup. AND the reason he and Botros had properly interacted for the first time. As someone who was wildly sentimental, Toby thought that was pretty dang neat too.

“eeeeOOOO!” The crup got lots of behind the ear scratching, and belly rubs. Cute crup is cute okay??! “It’s been a while, buddy...how have you been?” Ethan crouched low as he spoke to the crup. “Hold on bud...” he stood up as he closed the door behind him, and looked at Professor Botros. “Oh, I’m sorry professor, is this a bad time to visit? You look busy with--..” the boy approached the old man and...

SLIP.

Ugh. Why did he forget to put on his shoes?! “I’m okay...I’m okay...” Ethan crawled towards Botros’ visitor’s chair and rested his arms on the professor’s desk. “Sorry...uhm...busy?”

Botros looked quite pleased with Mordaunt and his crup's interactions. He, like most of the students, seemed to know how to cherish his pet and fulfill his attention-seeking needs. "No not--" The boy fell down! Botros snapped to his feet. If one of his runic wards failed and opened up a portal that sucked out the boy, he wouldn't be able to forgi-- oh, the boy wasn't wearing any shoes. Whew, that... was a less complicated reason. "Be careful, son. Here.." He waved his wand at the boy's feet giving him a pair of slippers for the time being.

"What's so urgent you forgot to wear your shoes?" And run all the way from the dungeons up to Ab's office. Really. Did another student die??! "No, no, not busy... much. Have a seat." And Botros sat back on his chair as well.

"Well, it's about..." Ethan trailed off as he took a seat and eyed the...fancy slippers that was offered. The Slytherin had a goofy smile on his face, and immediately wore the surprisingly comfortable footwear. "Thanks, professor!" Merlin knows where Botros got it, but it sure is a fashion disasterstatement that will DEFINITELY compliment Ethan as a human being.

Lolol. Anyway!

"Right...with Professor Millard's permission, I was allowed to take a sample of this wand wood..." he started as he got the twig out of his pocket and placed it on the professor's table, "and I was wondering if it's possible to make a Gandr out of it?" Most likely he can but, "The thing is, I didn't go through the process of choosing a tree, and asking if I can take a piece out of it." Ethan licked his lips and pointed at the piece of wood, "Will it still give me the same effect if I skipped those steps?" He had been reading, you know. OWL stuff and such.

Botros beamed at the boy, a tad surprised that he liked his new slippers. Feo seemed to be occupied with attacking them, maybe it was the brown hairs? Too much? Well, Abraham figured the boy liked seeing feet when he walked so he didn't want to ruin the view for him.

Anyway. Moving on to the issue at hand. Literally. "Oh, what a fine piece of wood." Botros picked it up and started inspecting it from behind his glasses. "I'm afraid we can't make into a fully operational Gandr. The first few steps of asking the tree to give us the wood are essential. I, along with quite a bunch of researcher in runology, believe that that is what enhances the magical energy in those Gandrs. You could try, though. Experiment. Always do your own experiment and consult someone with your findings." And the old professor didn't say that to anyone else, in fact. Mr. Mordaunt had undoubted potential in this aspect in particular.

“Interesting...” Ethan muttered as he reached out to Feo, and placed the crup on his lap. The slippers were too novel for anyone in the room, and the Slytherin would like to keep it that way.

Pat pat pat.

“I...suppose there is another way to procure a gandr wood aside from asking a tree?” Ethan paused as he scratched his chin in concentration and traced their activity back in Herbology. “I have this theory that...asking the tree is not the only way to do it...” he paused and shifted on his seat, “We ‘cleaned’ the wand tree by eliminating bowtruckles from it. That process could be another way of getting a gandr wood because it has been 'purified'.” Though maybe not that effective, just like what Professor Botros said. “Or...maybe there’s a way to fill in the missed steps with something else...like...a chant or something?” Hmm. He wasn’t sure if he’s making sense at all. He felt himself turn red as he asked those theories. What was he even thinking?

“I’m sorry, I’m blabbing.” Ehehe. Woops? “But this is really worthy of a study, professor. I will try and find methods that I can improvise on my own over the summer. Y’know...make use of my grandfather’s library...” What else can he do after the field trip anyway? Ethan eyed the clock, and placed Feo on the ground. “Right...the Feast will start in a few hours, professor. I think it’s best for me to leave,” the sixteen year old smiled as he collected his twig from the Runes Master’s desk. “Uh...sir? Can I keep your slippers? I really like it.” Or he could duplicate it...

Pat pat pat.

“I...suppose there is another way to procure a gandr wood aside from asking a tree?” Ethan paused as he scratched his chin in concentration and traced their activity back in Herbology. “I have this theory that...asking the tree is not the only way to do it...” he paused and shifted on his seat, “We ‘cleaned’ the wand tree by eliminating bowtruckles from it. That process could be another way of getting a gandr wood because it has been 'purified'.” Though maybe not that effective, just like what Professor Botros said. “Or...maybe there’s a way to fill in the missed steps with something else...like...a chant or something?” Hmm. He wasn’t sure if he’s making sense at all. He felt himself turn red as he asked those theories. What was he even thinking?

“I’m sorry, I’m blabbing.” Ehehe. Woops? “But this is really worthy of a study, professor. I will try and find methods that I can improvise on my own over the summer. Y’know...make use of my grandfather’s library...” What else can he do after the field trip anyway?

Botros listened to Mordaunt's alternative solutions. They sounded logical, needed proving of course but the first step was to wonder. "I would be really interested in hearing what your findings turn out to be. Feel free to write me to Alexandria where I'll be over the summer." He smiled widely at the former Prefect and chuckled at his question. "You certainly can if you want to. See you in a few hours." Botros gave the boy another smile and then went back to doing his paperwork with a concentrated face.
