Open Office

[wwistful]

WHO: Murdoc Ampora and ANYONE
TONE: WELCOMING, it can vary!!
RATING: PG-13
WHEN: May 7th
WHERE: Murdoc's Office
WHAT: With exams coming up, Murdoc is spending more time in his office. Both because he's grading papers and because as Head of Slytherin it's his solemn duty to guide his students through hard times yadda yadda. He's there to answer questions.
STATUS: Ongoing

Exams have been coming up a long time, but Murdoc isn't surprised to see the majority students in a flurry of anxiety and fear. Despite his eagerness to watch students who failed to prepare crash and burn, he decides it would be best to extend his office hours on the off chance that students of any house need a little extra tutoring. Of course, priority falls to students in Slytherin, he's here to assist them with their big life choices and to discuss potential careers. He may or may not be a little eager to send everyone off to the Ministry, but he's interested in hearing what students believe they're capable of.

Today in particular he's come prepared. He has a large mug of very strong coffee by his side as he idly skims through some practise exam papers. His door is open, so anyone walking by will see him looking less than impressed and just a little bit bored. If you have a question, student or professor alike, now is probably the best time to get his attention.

Bunny comes into the room quietly, then looks around the room slipping his hands into his pockets.

"Y'know, y'can really smell the stress in here. Dealin' with Slytherin's that hard, ey?"

He keeps looking around the room a moment more before looking at Murdoc at his desk with a watchful look, while his reason for being here was to try and borrow some, if not all of his anti-cheating quills for his theory exam it didn't hurt to at least offer some small talk before hand.

So fifth year is pretty important. That's a thing that's been drilled into everyone's head since the start of term. But the problem with that is Ellis just hasn't ever figured out anything he wants to do! There's so much to do and he doesn't even know really what there is all at the same time. It's confusing. It's confusing and he needs help. Which is why he's here, coming right on in without announcing himself or anything.

"Sir, ya got a minute? I gotta talk to ya about some stuff."

Eridan doesn't need to see Murdoc. He's not a fifth year, and his grades are pretty good in DADA. He doesn't even have any sort of personal emergency he should bring to his father, but the fact of the matter is...he's more then a little bored. Notes and homework can only offer so much entertainment, he's read all of the books he has in the castle, and Murdoc's office is the closest thing.

So that's where he is, raising an eyebrow at his father as he flops down into a chair across from his desk. "Are you really sure leavin' your door open is the smartest thing? What if someone decides to draw on your face when you fall asleep." Because, really, Eridan is sure that's inevitable.

He spent a good five minutes rocking back and forth on his heels just out of sight of the door before he decided to knock lightly against the frame. The noise almost startled him, raising the hairs on the back of his neck despite the fact he should have expected it.

Mituna had a higher opinion of Murdoc than most, not least because he tended to take things at face value and the professor had always been pleasant, if a little abrupt with him. What had happened during the odd event of the previous month had only affirmed his attachment to this particular teacher.

"Um.. thir?" ... Murdoc was probably going to need that coffee.

Dirk isn't the kind of student who goes to teachers if he can help it. He prefers to get all of his information in class and figure out anything else on his own- it doesn't matter if he has an intelligent question to ask, it's one of those things his pride will rarely take.

But he has been gone for much of the school year, and although he's caught up in his classes, he really ought to check in with his professor to make sure, shouldn't he? Besides, this year is the OWLs, and after those, he'll have to think about his future, and what he wants to do. He needs someone to talk with about that who isn't Bro. He needs to feel like his plan is solid before he brings it to Bro. And who better to talk to than his Head of House, right?

That's what finally brings him to Murdoc's office, where he raps his knuckles against the doorframe. "'Sup, professor?" If there's one good thing about dealing with Murdoc in school, it's that he doesn't have to figure out what to call him.

Steve heard word that Professor Ampora had extended his office hours for the day and seeing as his course was one of the O.W.L.s Steve was concerned over, he thought it'd be smart to check it out. It was only a quick detour to swing by the office and upon seeing the door open, he decided to speak with the professor about his concerns, maybe get some advice.

He gave the doorjamb a quick knock, "Good afternoon, Professor. Do you have a moment?" He stood just on the outside of the threshold, waiting for affirmation before crossing into the office.
