Closed Ties that Bind

[Cyndi Kingsley]

A small plant in hand, the professor knocked on her colleague's door. It was an odd thought, but quite true. Professor Kingsley had been in the school since a few years after she'd graduated, so she knew how the transition from student to professor could be awkward. She wasn't the only student become staff. She believed there were two or three others. Elvera, Adorah, and she had the feeling she was missing someone besides Noel. We should start a support group, she quipped to herself. With her reunion with Wyatt still fairly fresh on her mind, she hoped Noel would be just as eager to catch up.

 

[Professor Noel Waldgrave]

Noel was decorating his own office. That didn't ment plants everywhere, because that was more an Adorah touch at their own house. But he had placed some photo's, also with his friends when he was an student here with Sully and Chloe. One of him and Adorah as headpeople at the graduation and more. Noel also had one of him and the Minister somewhere, but he doubted where he wanted to put that. It seemed like he was an big fan, but he had been working together with her and she was an kind person. When he had the photo in his hands he than heard some footsteps. He had left his door open, because he liked it that way. And when he looked at the door opening he noticed his old head of house being there. How should he call her? Her first name was not something which felt comfertable now, so he decided to just keep it like he had. '' Professor Kingsley?'' He than said and gave an smile.

 

[Cyndi Kingsley]

"Oh come on now, Cyndi will do. We're colleagues now, it seems" she smiled as she stepped into the space. "Welcome" she added as she held out the plant. "How are you settling in?" she asked. She could only just remember her return to the castle so many years ago. It had been weird to come back after a short break and begin teaching people who had been first years when she'd left.

 

[Professor Noel Waldgrave]

Noel smiled as Professor Kingsley told him to call her Cyndi. It would be something to get used too. '' It seems. Cyndi than, it will take me some time to get used to that.'' Noel than said with an friendly smile. He watched the plant and was already hoping the plant would survive the year, but he could ask Adorah for advice. She was more of the plants in their home. Herbology wasn't his best subject back than. But it was an very nice gesture from Cyndi. '' Thank you, that is very thoughtfull.'' He took the plant from her and made an gesture she could sat down. There were stilll some boxes around with stuff he needed to unpack but he had cleared some space. '' Can I offer you some tea or coffee perhaps?'' He asked her. Noel could use some coffee, he had still a lot too do. '' As you see a lot of boxes still to open up. But it's going. It's great to be back here. I'm excited to get started.'' ​
