Office Hours [Thursday]

[umbitch]

The door to Umbridge's office is ajar this morning and fierce muttering can be heard from behind the door. Umbridge has managed to get her desk, chair and extra chairs down from the ceiling but most everything else is still glued to the ceiling by some amazingly strong substance

Luke, dressed in his soberest black Jedi attire complete with robe and seeming unaffected by the weather outside, took a calming breath and then knocked at the door.

He'd faced off against Darth Vader, Jabba the Hutt, and the Emperor. This was nothing.

And he'd repeat that to himself as often as necessary until he believed it.

[umbitch]

"Come inside," came Umbridge's voice.

[tatooine_doofus]

Luke walked in and stood before the desk, taking the room's decor in with a quick glance.

And not bursting into giggles. He was very proud of himself.

"I'm Luke Skywalker," he said, gazing at her steadily. "You wished to see me."

[umbitch]

"I did." She gestured to the seats in front of her desk. "Have a seat."

She watched to make sure he didn't start laughing.

[tatooine_doofus]

Luke sat down, pulling his robe around him and giving her a small smile.

[umbitch]

"I've met another Skywalker previously," Umbridge started. "Is there a relation?"

[tatooine_doofus]

Luke's expression got a little icy as he nodded. "There's a relation," he said. "He's my father."

[umbitch]

"Of course." She gifted Luke with a smile. "He's not the reason you are here. That was natural curiosity. What do you know of Hermione Granger?"

[tatooine_doofus]

"She lives on my floor," Luke answered promptly. "She's roommates with one of my best friends. Smart, about yay tall? I haven't seen her in a few days."

Look at how helpful he is! What a model student.

[umbitch]

"And you have not been talking with her at all as of late?"

[tatooine_doofus]

Luke's forehead furrowed. "We talk," he said. "We're friends. She offered to teach me how to knit."

...or something.

[umbitch]

"You do realize she is quite delusional and prone to delusions of grandeur, even?"

[tatooine_doofus]

"I'm afraid you've been misinformed," Luke replied calmly.

[umbitch]

"Have I?" Umbridge listened to the radio, she knew what triggers to pull. "As as Mister Darklighter during his visit a few days ago? Quite a misinformed young man."

[tatooine_doofus]

Luke's eyes blazed. "You'll stay away from Gavin or I'll tell anyone who will listen what kind of punishment you gave him. There are people in this school who wield actual power, not just decrees to make them feel important."

There was a little Skywalker in him, yeah.

[umbitch]

"Stay away?" She touched a hand to her cheek, looking surprised. "But we're already such good friends, he and I. His visit was quite exciting."
