IC Prospective

[tomatatas]

Character: Italy Romana (Chiara Giordano)
Canon: Axis Powers Hetalia; Nyotalia
Mun: Nutmeg
Plot Specific: N

To the girls stealing plants from my greenhouse I know who you are and what you took. I also know those are the inncorrect leaves for a conception contraception potion, though they are remarkably similar to the true plant, arent't they?

Still, for you age your plant recognisation skills are appalling. I expect a foot on the correct ingredients to a conception potion and why the leaves you did steal will cause horrible problems. It will be on my desk on 3 days or I will find you myself.

As a note to all, steal from my greenhouses from now on and I won't be so light. I honestly expected this wasn't something that needed to be stated

[tiny mutter of "English" after that]

[quasistellar]

A conception potion, Professor Giordano? I believe the word you want is contraception.

fuck I knew I spelt it wrong scream

[tomatatas]

[Inwardly hissing. Screw you bitch]

If you are unaware Professor Peixes, English is not my first nor second language.

But thank you so much for pointing out my error.

that's just how she rolls. (ahaha sorry)

[quasistellar]

While there are some here who might want the former - though I don't know why - I think the other would be more popular.

bitc)(

[tomatatas]

Yes. We get it. It was a mix up haha how clever of you to see it.

The mistake has been repaired, your assistance is no longer needed.

[thegluethatbinds]

Do you require any assistance, Professor Giordano?

[tomatatas]

I'm handling it just fine Professor Coulson.

Grazie.

[thegluethatbinds]

No problem.

The theft of school supplies is quite worrying though; it might be a good idea to bring it up to Professor Dumbledore. I'll mention it at the next staff meeting.

[tomatatas]

He's been notified. Due to the nature of the potion and the act it is used with I thought it prudent.

Aside putting cages around all my plants there is little I can do to prevent this type of theft.

[thegluethatbinds]

Are they stealing the plants during class or after-hours? You could put up an Anti-Intruder Charm if it's after-hours, but it would be hard to catch out students who pocket the leaves during class.

[tomatatas]

In class. My greenhouses are already charmed to repel students or alert me when anything occurs after hours. It's the ones who do it in class that cause problems.

[thegluethatbinds]

Noted.

I'll give the matter some thought and if I figure out anything that can help, I'll let you know.

[tomatatas]

Grazie. It is appreciated... [She just becomes even blunter and slightly more ruder in English oops]

...I am just a little worked over overworked. Stressed.

[thegluethatbinds]

Professor Mercer's starting a weekly poker game if you're interested. It's this coming Saturday night.

[tomatatas]

Poker? The stick you use to poke the wood in a fire?

[Not sure if it's just a weird English term or a muggle one...]

[thegluethatbinds]

Poker is a Muggle card game. It's not difficult to learn, and while I'm not that good at it, I'd be happy to teach you how to play it.

[tomatatas]

Like exploding snap? I... [inkblots as she tries to find the polite and right words] I may pass. I was never good with card games.

But grazie. Thank you.

[gloriousandfree]

[Oh that's awkward]

Sixth and Seventh years?

[tomatatas]

Yes. If it was anyone of a younger year they would be reported to the headmaster naturally. But as they're all of age there's nothing I can truly do about stopping that.

[gloriousandfree]

...Right. It's true, I suppose they are of age.

Was it the right thing to put this on the journals, rather than confronting them?

[tomatatas]

America has a sensible thought on that at least.

I believe so. I am still confronting them, in a more public manner.

[gloriousandfree]

I suppose you must simply do what you think is best then.

If I knew what was stolen, I'd try to help replace it. I doubt a contraceptive potion will come up on the OWL so I haven't the faintest idea what's even in one.

[tomatatas]

I always do Maddalena.

Don't worry. The plant will regrow what is lost and it will recover. And good, you are too young to even be considering such things. [Chiara blames the dad 8|||]

[gloriousandfree]

Ah, I'll be sixteen in July, I'm not that young. You can rest easy for now ma Chiara, I've no interest. Not in that at least.

[tomatatas]

You're younger, still. And good, very good. Stay like that, ok?

[gloriousandfree]

Yes Chia, I'll try. [Never mind pointing out everyone seems to go through the phase of being interested in that sort of relationship at her age . She doesn't want to disappoint her]

[tomatatas]

Very good, cara. [God Chiara never went through that!!!! You just need to know how to ignore it very very well. Clearly no damage will happen from that.]

[gloriousandfree]

Oui oui Chiara. I hope your...punishment goes well.

[tomatatas]

I'm sure it will. If not, I'll just be more creative the next time.

[cantstarvethisfire]

Why do you assume it's for that potion?

[tomatatas]

The secrecy and the way one turned bright pink when I inquired about what she was doing helped to give me an idea. And the plants for other feminie potions are different again.

[cantstarvethisfire]

Why are you talking about it if you already caught them?

[tomatatas]

Have you ever been a teacher Miss Everdeen? No? Well you see, there are mutiple students in each class, and when one comes up screaming to you about a plant attacking another student, you tend to going with them to discover what is really the problem. And we still only have two eyes, like everyone.

[betweenthewind]

Do you have any proof, Professor Giordano?
If not, I don't think you can realistically expect an essay. That's unfair.

[tomatatas]

Of course I do Miss Nami.
And you realise being so worried about proof is enough to make one suspicious, don't you?
