Roleplay

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 15:56, February 3, 2020 (UTC) She'd be up on her broom glad to be up in the air at the stadium once again. As much as she could fly at home coming here at the start of every school year had become almost a ritual, helping her gear up for this next year. She'd keep an eye out on the ground for Phillip...he usually ended up finding her out here and this year she was determined not to end up in the hospital wing in the first week with a quidditch injury.

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 16:02, February 3, 2020 (UTC) He came down, bummed about Head Boy, but pleased enough with Prefect. He searched the skies for a glimpse of blonde hair, smiling when he saw her.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 16:03, February 3, 2020 (UTC) She'd quickly come land and give him a smile. "Hey." She hadn't gotten any balls out and had just been flying around lazily so she didn't have anything else to put up.

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 18:07, February 3, 2020 (UTC) "Hey Head Girl," he said with a smile.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:09, February 3, 2020 (UTC) She'd flush a little. "Hey." She'd pause then frown slightly. "Sorry you're not Head Boy."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 18:13, February 3, 2020 (UTC) He shrugged. "Getting Prefect again works, too. Shows reliability."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:15, February 3, 2020 (UTC) She'd nod knowing it must be bothering him more than he showed, so she'd drop it but try to cheer him up anyway. "So...you ready for you last year here?"

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 18:17, February 3, 2020 (UTC) He nodded slowly. "I think so. I think I'm ready for the tests at the end of the year, at any rate."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:22, February 3, 2020 (UTC) She'd nod. "That's good...less stressing about the lessons and studying then." She'd sober a little. "Though you should probably be pretty careful with the new Herbology Professor...I heard he can be an absolute nightmare..."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 15:35, February 4, 2020 (UTC) He quirked an eyebrow. "Your Dad, right?"

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 15:53, February 4, 2020 (UTC) She hadn't known if Phillip knew or not. She'd nod and grin. "Yeah."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 18:27, February 4, 2020 (UTC) "Well, I didn't see Professor Fox up there. And I did see your Dad. So I just followed the logic."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:44, February 4, 2020 (UTC) She'd nod. "Yeah...he taught here my first year and apparently Professor Fox had some emergency."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 19:23, February 4, 2020 (UTC) He nodded. "I didn't realize that. Teachers come and go so much that I hadn't thought too much of it."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 19:30, February 4, 2020 (UTC) She'd nod. "Yeah...anyway you probably had him your first couple years here too..."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 19:32, February 4, 2020 (UTC) He nodded. "I remember him."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 19:36, February 4, 2020 (UTC) She'd nod. "Probably not as...prying as my Mum."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 13:22, February 5, 2020 (UTC) "Really? He's not the traditional overprotective, overbearing Dad?" He asked, skeptically.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 14:07, February 5, 2020 (UTC) She'd consider. "Well...since I've never had a boyfriend I can't say for sure but he definitely wont' pry as much as Mum. He does tend to give people the benefit of the doubt in general...so unless you give him some reason not to like you I think you should be ok."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 18:12, February 5, 2020 (UTC) He nodded. "And they seem to trust you and your judgment."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:31, February 5, 2020 (UTC) She'd nod. "Yeah and that too."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 18:34, February 5, 2020 (UTC) "So... how's the Head dorms?" He asked with a grin. "Must be nice, all that space to yourself?"

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:37, February 5, 2020 (UTC) "It has potential but it's really quiet most of the time and almost doesn't feel right you know? Having lived in active loud dorms for years it's just a bit empty."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 18:53, February 5, 2020 (UTC) "Sounds like you need a visitor every once and awhile," he said with a smile.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:54, February 5, 2020 (UTC) She'd grin. "Anytime you want to come by."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 19:01, February 5, 2020 (UTC) He grinned back. "Yeah?" He asked, stepping in a bit closer to her.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 19:13, February 5, 2020 (UTC) She'd nod, smiling a little. "Yeah."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 19:17, February 5, 2020 (UTC) The urge to kiss her was pretty strong... but he also felt like he might give her the wrong idea. And he also wanted it to be more romantic, somehow. "Cool. I'll keep that in mind."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 19:25, February 5, 2020 (UTC) She'd thought he was going to kiss her with how...close they were. She'd blink a couple times then take a step back. "Ok." She'd glance over her shoulder then look back feeling awkward.

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 13:29, February 6, 2020 (UTC) He scratched the back of his head. "So any new cousins starting this year?"

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 14:19, February 6, 2020 (UTC) She'd nod. "Twins...Hudson and Hadley, Felix's little brother and sister. Hudson's in Hufflepuff with Jonathan which is probably good for both of them and Hadley's in Gryffindor."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 18:11, February 6, 2020 (UTC) "Wait, which one is Felix?" He asked, confused.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:21, February 6, 2020 (UTC) She'd frown slightly. "He's also in Hufflepuff with Jonathan. They're one of my Aunt's niece and nephews from her brother that's not really related to us." She'd pause. "Hadley's a sweetheart but likes to play pranks so it'll be good I can keep an eye on her I think."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 18:28, February 6, 2020 (UTC) So they weren't really her cousins. But Aria considered everyone even distantly related to her as family, so he didn't even bother mentioning it. "But you aren't in the common room," he said with a chuckle. "At least not all the time."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:33, February 6, 2020 (UTC) She'd shrug. "No reason I can't be though. I can work on homework in the Gryffindor Common room just as easily if I think there's a reason to be there."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 19:22, February 6, 2020 (UTC) He nodded. "So if I go to find you in the Head dorms and you aren't there, I'll just have to happen along a Gryffindor then."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 19:23, February 6, 2020 (UTC) She'd frown, her brow furrowing. "There's got to be a better way to communicate than you just...looking all over for me."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 19:32, February 6, 2020 (UTC) He laughed. "Aria, it was mostly a joke. Since you had said I could come over to the head dorms whenever I wanted... and in the next breath told me you'd always be in Gryffindor tower to look after your cousins."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 19:43, February 6, 2020 (UTC) "It won't be always...not even most of the time I don't think." She'd pause. "...and I wasn't joking. I mean patronuses are an option but they're pretty...noticeable." She'd pause to think. "We could always do something small like coins the way the DA did in the past just to let one another know we want to talk...but I feel like there's got to be a way to actually...talk to one another from different places. A charm or...something."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 12:55, February 7, 2020 (UTC) "I think the reason those coins were used is there's not really a better way. I mean Muggles use phones, but those can be spotty at Hogwarts."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 13:40, February 7, 2020 (UTC) She'd frown. "Let me do a little research and see if I can come up with something..."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 13:46, February 7, 2020 (UTC) He was a little put off that she didn't believe him when he was a year older. But he just shrugged. "Okay."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 13:52, February 7, 2020 (UTC) She'd nod. "So, any extra classes or extra curricular activities for you this year?"

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 21:21, February 7, 2020 (UTC) "Why would I add a class in my final year, and only have one year to learn and master it before NEWTs?" He asked with a frown. "No. This year is all about NEWT studying and finding a job for after graduation."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 21:34, February 7, 2020 (UTC) She'd nod...that made sense. "So any idea where in the Ministry you're going to look or apply?"

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 13:28, February 10, 2020 (UTC) "I think maybe Department of Magical Ed, possibly Law Enforcement. Not to be an Auror, but more on the administrative side of things."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 13:31, February 10, 2020 (UTC) She'd nod. "So a PA for a Department Head or something like that?"

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 16:08, February 10, 2020 (UTC) He nodded. "As a way to start out and get some experience."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 16:13, February 10, 2020 (UTC) She'd nod. "Seems like it would be a great fit for you and get your foot in the door."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 18:13, February 10, 2020 (UTC) He nodded. "Yeah. So... that's the plan anyway."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:16, February 10, 2020 (UTC) She'd nod. "I bet your Dad and your Mum know a bunch of the Department Heads. Maybe he could introduce you or give you some insight or something."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 18:21, February 10, 2020 (UTC) He nodded slowly. "I'm sure they could," he said. "But I don't want to get a position because my Dad used to be Minister, or my Maman used to be Head of the Wizengamont, you know? I want to get it because I'm qualified and good for the position."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:27, February 10, 2020 (UTC) She'd frown. "I see it the other way. You are qualified but that doesn't mean there won't be a dozen equally qualified candidates and having that sort of recommendation might make you stand out more and be noticed. It's a way to get ahead when all other things are equal."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 19:24, February 10, 2020 (UTC) He frowned. "I don't want the deciding factor to be my Dad's influence."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 19:29, February 10, 2020 (UTC) She...didn't see the issue but assumed it was a pride thing. She wasn't sure how to feel about that...it was fine to have pride in yourself and your talent but if his resume got lost in the stack when it could have been on the top it would be a shame. "So any backup right now for Ministry PA positions or going to apply and figure out what to do if it falls through for some reason?"

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 13:23, February 11, 2020 (UTC) "My top departments are Law Enforcement and Education... my backup plan is to apply to a bunch of other departments, too and hope for the best."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 13:31, February 11, 2020 (UTC) She'd nod. So it was pretty much Ministry or bust...not that she thought he wouldn't get a position. She'd smile. "I'm sure they'll hire you and be lucky to have you."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 15:46, February 11, 2020 (UTC) He smiled. "Thanks. What about you? Any ideas for your life after Hogwarts?"

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 15:50, February 11, 2020 (UTC) She'd pause trying to figure out how to explain it. "I think...at least at the moment my goal is to stay at Hogwarts after I graduate. I think I'll apply to be the librarian or a similar position with the goal of becoming a teacher here."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 18:10, February 11, 2020 (UTC) "Why not just apply to be a professor right away?" He asked curiously.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:16, February 11, 2020 (UTC) She'd shrug. "I don't think they'd take someone who just graduated as a Professor no matter how skilled I was at a topic. If nothing else I'd be too close in age to the students I was teaching and if some of them were my friends or teammates that were just a year younger I could see how the Headmaster might think I might not be fair or impartial."

Philip Tyrrell – Ravenclaw 7th Year OWL – 18:20, February 11, 2020 (UTC) "You could always see if a Professor will split a class with you, and they could take the older years and you could teach the younger ones."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 19:34, February 11, 2020 (UTC) She'd pause to consider that then nod. "That's...a really good idea I hadn't considered."
