MANDATORY TEACHER MEETING TONIGHT!

[Headmistress Malfoy]

the headmistress carefully tacked up the notice on the door to the teachers lounge, it read:

MANDATORY TEACHER MEETING
TONIGHT AFTER DINNER!
ALL TEACHERS NEED TO ATTEND!


She looked at it dreadfully, wondering if it was the thing to do. she turned away and returned to her office.

[Professor Auerlio]

walked in to the lounge early since there were no classes to teach and he was just plain bored. he sat down and waited.

[Professor Evans]

Professor Evans walked into the Teachers lounge and saw Professor Auerlio. "Hello Professor."

[Professor Evans]

Prof. Evans just waited in the Teacher's lounge for the meeting to begin.

[armodeous]

Armodeous Silver walked into the room thoughts streaming through his head. He looked at the other two and said nothing only giving a nod and sat down.

[Headmistress Malfoy]

The headmistress walked in seeing the three," Hello." she said smiling," i guess that it will only be us meeting today, so i think we should get down to business. i have called this meeting to discuss some of the happenings around the school. I want you to know trhat i do trust all of you very much, however i do not like the current threat against some of my students." she sat down in a chair quickly and looked at them., " Do any of you have anything to say?"

[armodeous]

Armodeous listened to her carefully and stared at the door shaking his head. "No. nothing to say so far."

[Professor Evans]

"I have nothing to say either."

[Headmistress Malfoy]

"Ok. well ill continue. Armodeus as one of the most brilliant defense against the dark arts professors i have ever seen, i do not understand why you have went and gave the mark to a student. I know that you must follow the dark lords plans, that is your choice, but you know how i feel when my students become endangered." she looked at him sadly, worried," I cannot tell you what to do, however i can tell you how much i fear for the safety of this." She lowered her eyes to her feet and said," Now do you have something you would like to say?"

[Headmistress Malfoy]

"Oh yes and before you say something i must add that i know the student asked for it , i know she wanted it." she looked down," I just dont know how you went through with it"

[armodeous]

He cleared his throat. "I gave it to her on her own wishes. The Dark Lord had plans that are now cancelled. I never planned on all this happening. Everyone knowing." He pointed out. "I did not plan on endangering any student least of all Marina." he looked at her and then at the others. "What can I say?"

[Professor Evans]

"What can we do if the student decided on her own to get the mark in the first place? She had a choice. She chose the mark."she said wondering if there was anyway to remove the mark.

[Headmistress Malfoy]

"I knew you did not mean to endanger anyone, however i feel better now that we have gotten this out in the open."

[armodeous]

He sighed heavily and shook his head standing and started to pace. "I suppose so."

[Headmistress Malfoy]

"Armodeus, i hope you will not be angry at me for worrying about your actions, but you are one of my best teachers and i don't want to lose you. I have finally found a dark arts teacher that will not give up his teaching. I think that will be all for now. Thank you." she turned and left the room silently returning to her office to prepare her lessons for the classes she had to teach until a replacement was found.
