The Meeting...(Carina Erickson)

[Alexander W. Black]

As Alexander had been wanting to do for the past who knows when, Alexander decided that today he would visit his dear old captain Carina. Looking rather miserable, his eyes a bit tired, he walked over the door that lead to Professor Carina Erickson's office. Nice.. He thought, looking over at her name that had been engraved. With a sigh, and rather clumsy, Alex knocked on the door.

Awaiting for Carina to answer, Alex sat back on the wall, with his arms crossed and bit his lip. He hadn't changed his bottom piercing in such a long while, he started thinking that it was getting old and that he should change the stud. With a shrug, he thought of more important matters.

Xiomara will be leaving the grounds of Hogwarts and well, the problem about this was simply that. One of his people that he considered as a sibling was leaving. Now the team was paying for it as well. He couldn't get anyone to try-out for the freaking team and well there was someone of course that had experience in such things. At least with the quidditch part. But of course, Carina was a good listener or at least that's what he heard Lilsie once say.

Now where was this woman?

[Professor Carina Erikson]

Wearing jeans and a t-shirt that had fit perfectly two weeks ago, now hanging from her frame, Carina Erikson sat at her desk. She had been grading the recent pop quiz she had given her older students, now grateful that she had a TA and no longer had to deal with the younger years. Not to get her wrong, she loved the younger years, but with everything that was going on in her world right now, it simply made things easier on her.

She had cut her hair yesterday, simply because she hadn't the time to deal with it being long anymore, though the streaks of green were still bright. It was only one of many changes she had thought about making. Another being the removal of the hoop in her eyebrow and the hoop in her lip from which a small ruby hung. Perhaps tomorrow though, as she wasn't ready to part with those yet.

She had just flipped on the wizarding wireless radio that sat on the shelf behind her desk when she heard a knock on her door. This late in the evening, when none of the other professors were around, Carina would often turn the volume all the way up on the radio. With the knock on the door, however, Carina turned it down, loud enough to hear yet low enough not to bother a conversation.

Rising from her desk, the former Slytherin made her way to the door and opened it tiredly. She had expected it to be perhaps another professor, or perhaps Timothy, but Alex was a surprise. "Alex, what a suprise. Please, come in." Giving a small gesture for him to enter and have a seat, Carina realized that the chair across from her desk was covered in papers, mostly about her adoptive father. Moving them quickly, Carina shot Alex a sheepish look. "There, now you can actually sit."
