The Office (Open)

[joshua]

One of my main duties as a Teacher Assistant was to be in the office during my off times. I found this time rather boring. Normally I would be lucky to have one student stop by to see what they missed. But so far, it is CRAP! As I sat there at my desk I decided to clean up. The past few days have been crazy, and I haven't had time to clean my desk to look better. I got up and started to rearrange my papers in different stacks that I mentally would remember what was in the stack. Once I was done with that I small knock sounded on the door, looking up I announced "Come in" and waited for whomever it would be to come in.

[Jodi Peterson]

Jodi gave a little laugh as she entered the Office. "I wasn't knocking," she said with a smile. "I was dropping all of my books," she said to Joshua. "Can you give me a hand?" she asked, starting to pick up the first book of 8.

I returned a small laugh and got up off my desk to help her pick up the books. I don't think I had meet this TA yet. So as I picked up the last book and handed it to her I introduced myself, "Don't think we have met yet, but I am Joshua Thomas, the new History of Magic TA." I said with a smile and extending my hand for a handshake.

[Jodi Peterson]

"Thank you for your help", Jodi said as she put her books down onto her table. "I'm Jodi Peterson. Ex head girl of Hogwarts. The new TA for Herbology. How are you liking it here so far?" she asked.

[joshua]

"Your welcome" I replied. Following her over to her desk in this large room for all the TA's the girl introduced herself. "Nice to meet you Jodi, I suppose I'm not the only one new around here" I said with a laugh. "It seems pretty nice here so far, even though my second year students don't like to come to class, there fault I suppose. But I can't blame them, when I was in school at first I thought history was boring! Look where I am now" I said with another laugh.

[Jodi Peterson]

"Thanks," Jodi said once again as Joshua had helped her. She sat on top of her desk and continued to talk. "I've always loved Herbology. I mean, Linn was a great teacher he was. So after I graduated I got a job here teaching Herbology. Means that I don't get to see my boyfriend too often but it doesn't bother me too much. I walk to Hogsmeade every day to say hello. You have family?" she asked with a cheerful smile.

[joshua]

"No problem," I said with a friendly smile. "So you went to Hogwarts? I went to a Muggle School. My parents worked there. Mainly why I'm here today. I was always around education." I said with a laugh, I was still unsure if I was going to love this job or hate it. It seemed students always gave me blank looks. "Well, I have a mother and farther, they are back in on the Muggle side of London still, my dad is the Headmaster of the leading school there. Mom is Head of History Department there now. You?"

[Jodi Peterson]

Jodi smiled to Joshua. Jodi couldn't imagine having teachers for parents. It was bad enough having someone like Cole teaching her, when they used to be friends.

"My mother doesn't work. She's a house wife. My father, he's a muggle, but he's intagrated into the wizarding world. Not too many jobs a Muggle can do without magic. He trains owls for a living," she said, taking her hand into her pocket and taking out a long whistle. "...With only this. My owl Hugh is trained. I can call him from miles away, get him to do tricks and things. Very smart animal he is."

I can help with a siggie if you want

Walking down the staff corridor. She turned to the door that said JOSHUA THOMAS. Knocking on the door she waited for him to come. He was one of her favorite tezchers because he tought her favorite subject. Ms. Peterson taught her second favorite subject and Ms. Evans tought her 3rd favorite. She sighed waiting for him to come. She came for some EXTRA History Of Magic. "Mr. Thomas?"

[joshua]

As he listened to Jodie talk about her dad, which was rather interesting a student walked into the large room for all the TA's desk. Looking rather surprised at Ally, if the name was correct she seemed to want something. Turning and looking at her Joshua started to talk, "Hello there Ally, what can I do for you?" He asked in a nice voice, he rarely got office visits.
