Seating Area for the Office of Rosalyn Newton Comfy chairs are located outside Professor Newton's office so that anyone who wants to visit her can sit while they wait. A stack of wizarding magazines are kept on a coffee table by the door - always current so the students can keep up with fashion and music. There is no need to barge in to her office or knock excessively. A few taps on the door and she will get to you. |
Juno wanted to meet all the new Professors and thought she would start by paying a visit to each one. Her first visit was going to be the new Professor Newton, who happened to be related to the older Professor Newton...at least that was the rumor going around the school. Juno tapped on the door 3 times and then sat in a chair to wait for the professor. Hopefully she was in, but if she wasn't she would just come back at another time. |
Working on the finishing touches on one of her lesson plans, Rosalyn smiled. It was good to get things out of the way slightly in advance though she could be a slacker a times. Came with getting carried away with things and being back at Hogwarts was definitely a distraction at times. Still, she made it her personal goal to work on lesson plans every day and she HAD worked on a bunch before the end of the summer holidays... She really needed to talk to Rafael about that joint class at some point... Musing to herself, she heard someone knocking on the door. Ooh, a visitor! How exciting. She put her quill down and headed to the door, opening it. She was greeted by the female Hufflepuff prefect. Juno was her name. "Hello, Miss Darcy," she said with a smile. |
Art just HAD to visit the other Professor Newton. His dear Rosie. He was in the area, and thankfully the first floor wasn't too far to climb. Once he reached Rosie's office, he knocked at the door, then spent a few moments looking around the seating area. |

Oh, the professor already knew her name! Well, that probably shouldn't be surprising seeing as she was a prefect an all. Juno smiled at her, "Hello, Professor Newton! I just wanted to drop by and welcome you to Hogwarts." Though...she was a former student...so it would be more of a welcome back than a welcome to. Anyway, she hoped she wasn't bothering the new Professor. The woman just seemed very nice, and was the niece of the Potions master. At least that was the buzz around school. |
Quote:
Walking towards her office, she spotted Uncle Art looking around and clearly waiting for her. "Hello, uncle. Are you wanting to have some tea with me?" Hopefully she hadn't kept him waiting for long because she had gotten rather wrapped up in the kitchen and lost track of time. Unfortunately she had the habit of doing that. Quote:
"Well, thank you, Juno. That's very nice of you." Even though she HAD gone to Hogwarts, it had been a while. Was always nice to have a warm welcome and quite a few years had passed since her graduation though Rosalyn still felt young. "Would you like to come in my office and have some tea? A snack?" If the girl didn't like tea, hot chocolate could be arranged. |
Juliette was not one to really go around and introduce herself to Professors, but after the introduction of the new History of Magic Professor, she had a gut feeling that she needed to come speak with this woman. It was something about the name... she KNEW that name from somewhere... Maybe her dad or one of her Uncles went to school with her? They always seemed to enjoy talking about the "old days" -- well, her dad did at least. She did not look THAT old though, so she felt that could not have been where she heard the name from. She strolled down the corridor towards Professor Newton's office, and when she arrived, she noticed others were already there. She stood in the corner as she patiently waited for her turn to speak. |

At least there were no students here, he could be himself and spend time with his lovely niece as an uncle, rather than a professional Professor to Professor conversation. Not that he didn't like having a new, Professional relationship with his niece, he was absolutely thrilled to have her working at Hogwarts, but he missed her as his niece right now. And that's who he wanted to catch up with. His niece. |
Quote:
"Hello. How can I help you?" Did she have a question? Or was this a social visit? Either one was totally fine with Rosalyn. Quote:
"How are you?" she asked as she led the way into her office. Once inside, she set about putting the kettle on and putting together a snack for them. Mmm, scones. |

Rosalyn had thought that Miss Darcy had wanted to stop by and talk for a bit but it was okay if she had other things to do; the Prefects had duties to perform on top of homework even if term had just started. It was very sweet of her to have stopped by to give a warm welcoming. Paul would definitely be proud if he knew about this. She nodded at Juno. "Well, thank you again for the welcoming. Have a good day." A House party sounded like a lot of fun; too bad she couldn't join in on the festivities though there would be other chances for her to have fun. With a smile she watched as the girl walked off before heading back into her office so that she could get back to lesson planning. |
Making the rounds, he was just making the rounds at this point today. This third year was in need of some social time even if that wasn't with his friends. Maybe he could get some relationship advise from some of the older and younger professors.Bradson made his way into the seating area of Professor Newton's seating area. He hadn't really told that many people that he was a boyfriend now and maybe this would be a good time to do so before he goes off and finds his girlfriend. The third year looked around the room. |
Quote:
"Um... hi," she greeted the woman. "My name is Juliette." Her introduction was followed by a little smile. "Juliette McDean. I wanted to come introduce myself and welcome you to Hogwarts." She was not about to mention how FAMILIAR she looked. Hmmm... |
Separate timelines. ^_^ Quote:
"Hello, Brady," she greeted the boy politely. "How can I help you?" Quote:
Maybe it was merely a coincidence though the name wasn't SUPER common or anything. Rosalyn was just going to play it off as not being anything super important though she was now rather curious. "Nice to meet you, Juliette and thank you for the welcoming. Do you want to come in for some tea and a snack?" It would be no problem and student company was always nice. |
Quote:
The third year just looked around the seating area, every single seating room was different and varying from professor to professor and the Scottish boy really noticed this over the last two to three years that he had been at Hogwarts. Bradson looked up as soon as he heard Professor Newton's voice. |
Oliver finished his breakfast quickly and nearly ran over to Professor Newton's office. This wasn't something he did often (talking to most professors actually made him nervous) but he had been wanting to speak to Newton He went up to the door and knocked a few times before taking a seat in one of the very comfy chairs. He picked up one of the magazines on the table and flipped through it, trying to calm his nerves before the professor showed up. |
Separate timelines! Quote:
Opening the door, she waited for him to enter. "Would you like some tea? I also can make hot chocolate. I have cookies as well." Quote:
"Hello, Mr. Finch," she said as she gave the boy a smile. "How can I help you today?" |
Quote:
"G'morning, Professor Newton." He offered her a small wave and stood up from his seat. "Um...well...I wanted to ask you about teaching, actually? I know that's not really about History of Magic.....but it's something you know about..." Sure, there were other professors he could have asked, including his head of house, but this was such a good reason for him to talk to Newton. "I-Is that okay?" |
Quote:
"Of course. I'm always here to help my students however I can. What do you want to know about teaching?" She would try to be as helpful as possible. |
Quote:
"Weeeell...." Get it together, Oliver. "Um, well, yeah, I was wondering...like, what's it like? Being a professor, I mean." But that was kind of obvious wasn't it? Ollie cleared his throat and shifted his weight from foot to foot while thinking. "Oh! And I was wondering how exactly you become a professor? I mean, do you just go to uni for it oooor?" Maybe there was more, what did he know? He had never considered uni before, he was tired of school, but he had the rest of his life to become a professor, really. |
Quote:
More could be said on the matter, but Oliver wanted to know about something else. "There is no need for extensive studying at university," she assured him. "Very good scores on OWLs and NEWTs are needed in the subject you would want to teach as well as patience because people who are just out of Hogwarts are too young to become teachers immediately." Basically there were no 18 year old professors. "Also remember that it is possible for a teacher to begin practical study of another subject if they decide to switch over to it." So Professors didn't have to stick to teaching the same subject for their entire career. |
Quote:
And now he was actually learning more than he'd thought he would. He honestly never knew the whole teachers can switch subjects thing. But it didn't really make sense to him... "Okay, that's cool and all but what if I do really well in Charms and really badly in potions, so one day I teach charms, but then after a while I want to teach potions......I'd have to do something to make up for my bad score in Potions, right?" He wasn't sure if that made sense, but he really didn't know how else to reword his questions. Either way, these were all hypotheticals. He couldn't imagine ever wanting to teach potions. |
Quote:
"Good question," she added before giving the matter a moment's thought. "Well, in that example, it would definitely be a good idea to study potioneering at university. I'll also note that studying in university isn't a bad idea even if it's a subject you're good at; I studied History of Magic there just to have extra knowledge. Not mandatory, but not a bad idea. Depends on what you're comfortable with. Definitely would recommend it when it comes to a subject that you don't feel you are the best at." Did he understand what she was saying? Or did he need some more clarification? Also... "What subject would you be interested in teaching?" Just curious. |
Kat was talking at break from her homework, history of magic to be exact, So maybe it was because she was working on that subject that she ended up here. It was the only logical explanation for it. Instead of sleep walking, maybe this was something new homework walking. Probably not. She should try that excuse for homework next time. Better than the old my dragon ate my homework excuse. For some reason that one NEVER worked. The third year arrived at the professors office waiting room. Since she was here she decided to go ahead and pay the professor a visit. Why not? Maybe this was her consistence telling her that she actually might need help with the homework. She knocked on the door. Professor Newton might not even be in her office right now. |
Quote:
About to do that, she heard a knock on her the door. Okay, looked like the drink would have to wait because there was a student who wanted to see her. Reaching the door, she opened it and smiled. "Hello, Miss Delgado. How can I help you?" |
