open to all students: office hours for Potions

[estebanmd]

Having once again secured the services of a new teaching assistant, and having been obliquely reproached by said assistant for the infrequency of classes at Hogwarts, Dr Maturin felt perhaps it would be proper to hold office hours. The practice served more than one purpose: besides fulfilling one's duty as faculty, it gave one occasion to hear confidences and matters of interest that one might not otherwise hear in the course of one's work. Students who attended Stephen's office hours rarely limited themselves to the discussion of potions.

Thus the faithful elf Aloysius posted signs outside the Great Hall, in each house's common room, and on Stephen's office door:

Office hours for Potions are being held. Current and prospective students are welcome to drop by Professor Maturin's office to discuss any issue of interest to them.
