Words of warning
Ive had a few very interesting run ins with a certain Ms. Absinthe from school the last few days, very delightful young lady to hold a conversation with.
Oh by the way Gilderoy, despite the fact that my house elves did not go within a kilometer of your house - got forbid it could cross waters anyway since you like running away so much - I warn you to leave me and my lady friend alone or you shall have to deal with me personally... no back stabbing, no name calling. I am fed up with your childish behaviour especially when she herself says that nothing went on between you two.

Argle Vector 27/07/2003 5:40 PM: Professor Argle is currently staring hopelessly at a section of books about dancing in Flourish and Blotts. He runs his finger across the spines with his eyebrows knitted, lost in thought about tonights dance lesson, unaware of anyone beside him.
Tale Absinthe 27/07/2003 5:43 PM: Tale stands beside him silently, glances over at him out of the corner of her eye a few times to make sure it's who she thinks it is. Pushing a few pieces of hair behind her ear, she reads the titles of the books and smiles to herself softly. She clears her throat gently, "Can you truly learn to dance by reading a book? I would think it's more of a hands-on sort of experience."
Argle Vector 27/07/2003 5:50 PM: Vector raises his eyebrows with amusement and smiles beckomingly at the lady next to him, seeing her for the first time. "Yes, I believe it is. Although one can hope there are some handy tips lurking about in these things"
He picks up a book, entitled "The Footsteps of Passion" - a somewhat corny name - and peruses through the index half heartedly, mumbling to his companion "It could be likened to learning French according to spelling, without actually speaking it... one can hardly grasp the wonders of the language without rolling around a few tonguetips."
He stops, realising that hes not in class and looks at the lady beside him and smiles again. "Just musing..."
He turns back to his book and stares at her out of the corner of his eye, somewhat confused for a while wondering if hes seen her before.
Tale Absinthe 27/07/2003 5:54 PM: She smiles sweetly, watching him, "I suppose you're right. Any handy little tips can only be for the better." She takes a book off the shelf, and scans the first page before placing it back in it's rightful spot, "If it's not rude of me to ask...Is this dance study for your lady friend?"
Argle Vector 27/07/2003 6:01 PM: Vector is now completely shocked, feeling the same feeling a woman would when caught naked in bed - and presses his book against his chest firmly, and puts it down casually on the bookshelf, coughing. He looks at the lady next to him with wide eyes, queriously "Excuse me... this may be rude to ask but have I met you before Ma'am?"
Tale Absinthe 27/07/2003 6:06 PM: Tale's smile falters the slightest bit, feeling less confident and much smaller than she was comfortable feeling. She raises an eyebrow at him slowly, and nods to him, "Yes, we've met. I'm a student in one of your classes at Hogwarts, although I had only been there a few months." Her confidence has returned for the most part as she grins at him, realizing it was very easy for him to overlook her in such a short period of time, "My name is Tale Absinthe."
Argle Vector 27/07/2003 6:10 PM: "Ahh Miss Absinthe, I believe my memory has jolted me back now... You gained a remarkable fifty-six in your finals did you not? A model student... please excuse my muddled head. I am not too good with faces"
Smiles warmly and gallantly extends his hand towards her, shaking it.
"However, I assure I will remember your face now," He added, winking conspiratoriously at her.
Tale Absinthe 27/07/2003 6:12 PM: She smiles at him, her eyes twinkling as she reaches out to shake his hand, "It's completely all right. I can understand you're not remembering with me only being there a few weeks. Forgive me for not introducing myself as I came up, but I assumed you'd remember me."
Argle Vector 27/07/2003 6:19 PM: "Ahh the memory is not so finely tuned for remembering attractive young ladies as it used to be," he chuckles politely, and places the book carefully back into the shelf, only to pick out another curiously named edition. "I hope your holidays have been well, Miss Absinthe?"
Tale Absinthe 27/07/2003 6:24 PM: She purses her lips, "They've been all right. To be honest, there have been some good and bad points, but that's life of course." She frowns slightly, thinking to herself for a moment before looking at him again. "I hope yours have been better than mine...?"
Argle Vector 27/07/2003 6:32 PM: "Cosi Cosi mi cara, dancing and some other things have been a somewhat passionate affair of late," he smiles warmly, "Yes... life is full of its little suprises."
He glances at his watch and frowns "I am so sorry Ms Absinthe, it appears that I am late for an appointment. I apologise, shall be seeing you around Hogwarts. Have a nice evening"
He smiles nicely and starts walking towards the exit, turning around to wave.
Tale Absinthe 27/07/2003 6:35 PM: She smiles at him and waves to him, hiding her disappointment at his leaving, "Take care, Professor!"
Argle Vector 27/07/2003 6:37 PM: He tips his cap, which he had just placed on his head and smiles graciously, and begins a sprint to his late dance lesson.
Tale Absinthe 27/07/2003 6:42 PM: Tale smiled, and glanced at the books on the shelf. After a quick run-through, she grabbed a familiar book off the shelf and paid for it. Clutching the wrapped book in her hand, she rushed out the door and looked both ways down the alley, spotting him a ways down. "Professor!" She called as politely as she could in the crowded alley
Argle Vector 27/07/2003 6:44 PM: Vector turns around and spots Tale, he walks towards her slowly, his mind wondering if he had handed any homework out for the holidays.
"Why hello again Ms. Absinthe," he smiles, still confused.
Tale Absinthe 27/07/2003 6:46 PM: She placed a hand to her chest, trying to still her heart and catch her breath, "I'm sorry, I know you're late...but I want you to have this. I think it's just what you're looking for." She says quickly, holding out the book to him with her other hand.
Argle Vector 27/07/2003 6:50 PM: Vector's confusement melts.
"Why thankyou, that is most thoughtful of you," he takes the book gently and reassures her, smiling gratefully, "Dont worry about me, once youre late, you can only be later"
He smiles at her and waves again, "Enjoy the rest of your holidays!" he exclaims.
Tale Absinthe 27/07/2003 6:52 PM: She smiles back as she walks slowly backwards away from him, thankful he's pleased, "You too, Professor. Take care."
Argle Vector 27/07/2003 6:55 PM: Vector continues walking towards his lessons, looking at the book, suddenly aroused by a new kind of puzzlement. "Why on earth did she buy a book for me?" He stares at the book and thanks her again quietly, and puts the book into his jacket carefully, making a mental note to remember the niceyoung lady next year.
