[thegrrrahahaha]

Um... Professor Crane?

[The tiniest third year ginger is standing in the doorway.]

[doctor_is_in]

[He looked up from his desk.] How can I help you?

[thesmallesttrickster]

[Loki comes in and sits in front of Professor Crane's desk.]

I've been told if I have personal problems I should come talk to you, Professor Crane.

[doctor_is_in]

You heard correctly. How can I be of assistance?

[thesmallesttrickster]

There is a group of 2nd year Ravenclaw girls who, when ever I pass them in the halls, they start whispering to each other and giggling. The won't tell me why, but I'd like to find a way to make them stop, it's rather unsettling.

I understand that jinxing them is frowned on.

[doctor_is_in]

[Crane opened his notebook to an empty page and begin to jot down a few notes.]

Jinxing fellow students would be grounds for detention, yes. [He took a slow, deep breath.] My advice might not be exactly what you're looking for, however, I was your age once. Young girls can be difficult to deal with.

[thesmallesttrickster]

I will take whatever advise you have to give. No one else is being any help.

[doctor_is_in]

[How can he say this without letting his own adolescent experiences sway him?]

Do you really care about what they could be saying about you?

[thesmallesttrickster]

I don't care what they're saying, I just want them to stop.

[Kinda true. He's curious, but he's really just annoyed by the giggling]

[doctor_is_in]

Would you want them to stop if you knew they were saying good things about you?

[thesmallesttrickster]

I would at least like them to stop the giggling.

[doctor_is_in]

Well, the most you could do is ask them to stop. Without resorting to violence, that is. We wouldn't want you to receive a bad reputation, now would we?

[thesmallesttrickster]

I've tried asking them to stop, they just keep giggling and the one in the middle goes all red!

[doctor_is_in]

[He raises his eyebrow. Kids these days. And he agreed to counsel them..]

You have nothing to worry about, Mr. Laufeyson. Just tell them you're not interested, and they'll leave you alone.

Cue 11 yr old knowing nothing about girls

[thesmallesttrickster]

What exactly am I not interested in?

[doctor_is_in]

In them. In what they have to say. Obviously, you're above them since you don't have to resort to spreading rumors.

[thesmallesttrickster]

...Okay. Thank you, Professor.

[doctor_is_in]

Don't worry. If they say anything more, just come to me. I'll handle the situation.

[thesmallesttrickster]

[Loki stands up to leave]

I will. Thank you, Professor.

[itsintheblood]

Johnathan? [knock knock] I hope I'm not interrupting.

[doctor_is_in]

Nothing of immediate importance. Come in.

[itsintheblood]

I was wondering if you had a few books I could borrow. I left mine back home.

[doctor_is_in]

Of course. What exactly are you looking for?

[cantstarvethisfire]

[She's been sitting here for the past hour, picking at the wood on the desk.]

[doctor_is_in]

[He's been out, taking care of adult business. He thought he could come back to his office and get some work done, but nope. Not today.]

I'm sorry if I kept you waiting.

[cantstarvethisfire]

It was this or go to class.

[Nope, no work, just some wood splinters on his floor.]

[doctor_is_in]

[Don't think he doesn't notice the nicks in his desk..]

And why don't you want to attend class?

[cantstarvethisfire]

I can't concentrate, I just end up thinking about other things.

[doctor_is_in]

Really? [He walked around to his desk, setting his papers down and taking a seat.] What kind of things?

[cantstarvethisfire]

People dying.

[doctor_is_in]

I see. [He opened his notebook and jotted down a note.] Does this happen often?

[cantstarvethisfire]

When I sleep, when people talk about you-know-who, or any other time of the day.

[doctor_is_in]

So, you're suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. When would you say your anxiety is at its worst?

[cantstarvethisfire]

At night. I wake up from nightmares and can't go back to sleep some nights.

[doctor_is_in]

I could brew you a potion to help you sleep at night. It would clear your mind and allow you to sleep soundly.

[cantstarvethisfire]

Sure. What do you put in it?

[doctor_is_in]

Bits of lavender, Valerien sprigs, Flobberworm muscus. I hope you're not allergic to any of these ingredients.

[cantstarvethisfire]

I'm not allergic to anything.

[doctor_is_in]

I'll have a vial prepared by evening. It should allow you to sleep peacefully and without dreams. However, I do suggest we continue your sessions to discuss the nature of your dreams.

[cantstarvethisfire]

Really?
