Office Hours [Tuesday]

[umbitch]

Umbridge isn't even bothering to hide her wand today. Not with the threat of flying monkeys ever present in her mind. She'd be prepared today, ready to cast a shield charm should anyone attempt to assault her.

Her tea was cold and the office was open.

[Open! Once again, not in a good mood and, this time, she'll shield herself if she thinks she

Ronan knocked; he was uncertain that this was a good idea, uncertain to the poit where he was fairly certain it wasn't. Still, his conversation with Anemone on the weekend had left him with two impressions: first, that he needed to try and do something, and second, that he needed to try talking to her one more time, to see if she was really as far gone as he was afraid.

So here he was, knocking.

[umbitch]

"Come in," Umbridge said, looking up. She recognized him from her first day and smiled. "Have a seat."

[hotceltogoth]

Ronan couldn't help but smile back; maybe this would go well, after all. "Thank you, Headmaster," he said, hoping that the title would help appease her. He sat down, and then looked at the teapot. "I hope this isn't too presumptuous of me, but I wondered if we might not speak over a cup of tea."

[umbitch]

"Not presumptious at all," she said, clearly pleased by the use of the correct title. She picked up her wand and with a flick of her wrist, made the tea hot. She poured two cups in silence and pushed one across to Ronan. "There we are."

[a_phale]

Aziraphale had spent the entire night fuming and pacing. Which meant he was in, if it was possible, an even worse mood than he'd been the evening before.

Walking up to Umbridge's office, he gave a loud rap on the door and then walked in, not waiting to be invited.

"You," he growled, "Have gone too far."

[umbitch]

Umbridge was slightly taken aback. Not too many people had the audacity to just walk into her office so anyone that did was either ignorant or enraged.

She recovered quickly and batted her eyelashes at him. "Have I? Do tell me how."

[a_phale]

Enraged was a very good bet. Aziraphale glared, but he snapped a quick response.

"You hexed Dr Wilson yesterday, and I was told just last night that you took away Phoebe Halliwell's voice. And since I know full well that neither of them are the type to engage in malicious mischief, I can only assume it was because they had the nerve to stand up to your petty tyranny."

[umbitch]

She raised an eyebrow at this and laced her fingers together in front of her. "Phoebe Halliwell broke a rule. James Wilson was insubordinate. They were both discipled as I saw fit."

[solo_sword]

Okay, so Luke had told her not to go. Actually, what he'd said was don't go if she was called. So going on her own was entirely different in Jaina's mind.

Amazing that she hadn't figured out that this sort of thinking got her into more trouble than out of it.

Knocking lightly on the door, she said, "Good morning."

[umbitch]

Someone she didn't recognize. "Good morning. Come inside and have a seat."

[solo_sword]

Jaina came inside as ordered, leaving the door open, and took a seat. "My name's Jaina Solo. I hadn't had a chance to meet you yet, so I thought I would come by and introduce myself."

[umbitch]

"Miss Solo," she said, nodding her head. "I am Headmaster Umbridge though I'm sure you already know that. It's a pleasure to meet you."

[morpherboy]

Marco decided that he didn't want to turn into a puddle like yesterday, so now there's a llama parked in Umbridge's doorway.

[fantastic_torch]

Johnny just had to do this - there was no help for it.

Shirtless, he ran into Umbridge's office screaming and falling to his knees before her desk, flailing. "HELP ME! OH GOD, I"M ON FIRE!"

[umbitch]

Umbridge shot up off her chair and stared. "Stop that! This instant!"

[fantastic_torch]

"STOP? I'M BURNING UP! DO SOMETHING!" Johnny let the fire crawl up his arm and writhed as if in excrutiating pain.

[umbitch]

"Bloody hell," Umbridge snapped, grabbing for her wand and hitting Johnny with a spell that created a spray of water.
