Everything in its Place - Luna
Who: Luna, Callum
When: August 21, Morning
Where: Divination Classroom, North Tower
Status: Closed/Finished Summary: Luna sets her classroom to rights and is joined by Callum who is on the lookout for boggarts before start of term. They don't find a boggart, but they do find Luna's crystal ball on the ceiling.

Head tilted at a whimsical angle, Luna flicked her wand a few times, some of the drawers and cubby holes behind her and to her left filling with the supplies she'd had scattered about and tucking themselves away with a slight click as wood connected with wood and latches clipped shut.  Smiling satisfiedly, she moved a stack of books to one side of the desk, and then shook her head and shifted them to the other side, finally giving up with that and placing them in the middle.  Humming to herself, she gave the classroom another once over. 

Not that she hadn't been teaching in this classroom for long, or that things would have really gone astray, but Luna knew she had a habit of things going missing on her, and though it was still a while before the start of term, she still felt the need to set things to rights.  In fact, she'd likely check in several more times just to be certain she hadn't lost something somewhere. 

Things didn't go missing nearly so much as they had when she was a student here, but often enough for her to notice.  She did wonder when they disappeared before the students arrived, though; the culprits generally tended to be the younger set.  So essentially, that meant that either the staff were scarfing the items, or she was simply misplacing them herself.  She really preferred to think the latter, but deep down she knew it was very possible to be the former as well.

Still humming, she breezed about the tower airily, footsteps light as she weaved amongst the desks.

It was in Callum's job description to check to make sure that everything was as it should be before September first snuck up on the castle. He had spent the past few weeks checking the castle from top to bottom for any boggarts or similar semi-dangerous creatures that might have moved in over the summer.

He was also checking, much to his distaste, for any pranks that rambunctious students had left in wait that hadn't been sprung by any unsuspecting souls yet.

It was an exasperating job, but Callum felt that he had almost managed to finish early for the first time in years. The North Tower was his next stop, so armed with his wand and a good deal of paranoia, he mounted the stairs.

He slowed as he neared the classroom and heard what must be the Divination professor.

"Have a moment?" he called gruffly, eyeing the entrance to the classroom. There would be a few places up there for boggarts to hide. He didn't want to hear about it if a student found one in his desk the first day of classes.

Luna looked up from under one of the tables where she'd thought she'd found a rather interesting infestation of what could have been polyglyph markles, but which had in fact just turned out to be dust. Backing out from underneath it, she brushed her hands off on her robes as she knelt before standing fully.

"Of course," she she wound her way down toward the center again, skipping down every other step just for fun, the lilt of her voice somewhat vacant though she was anything but. "Come in," she added as she reached the floor proper of the classroom, pale eyes glancing to the doorway as her feet hit the stone there.

Callum frowned slightly to himself as he made his way through the door and into the classroom, tucking his wand away in his robe pocket until such time as he might need it. With any luck, the classroom wouldn't have been left to its own devices too much this year and he wouldn't have any problem out of it.

"Just inspecting things before the start of term," he said shortly, lifting an eyebrow in Luna's direction. "Anything in here that shouldn't be?"

She tilted her head slightly, a slight smile curving her lips as she regarded him.

"Just some dust," she replied, "And me. Technically I'm not supposed to be here just yet. You're welcome to look around, though; I haven't thoroughly inspected."

She moved to the desk, nimble fingers opening and closing some of the drawers in it seemingly at random.

"Oh and if you see my crystal ball," she added dreamily, looking up again, "Do let me know. It seems to have gone missing."

Callum frowned slightly, filing away that information for later. Crystal ball, right. He'd probably trip over in while prowling the halls after the term started if he didn't hunt it down now.

"I'll see if I can locate it," he decided, watching Luna open desks for a moment before shaking his head and moving to the opposite side of the room. The desks the farthest out of the way would be the ones where the boggarts would take a liking to.

"Haven't heard any rattling about, have you?" he questioned, narrowing his eyes and lifting the top of a desk to peer inside before letting it drop back closed. "Anything that might sound like boggarts? There were three in the dungeons this year. One might have made its way up here."

"No rattling," she assured him, "Or banging or anything else like that."

Giving up with the desk drawers, pale eyes looked about the classroom itself as if she could just make it magically appear. On a whim, she lifted them to the ceiling.

"Ah," she ventured, "Found it."

Withdrawing her wand from her sleeve, she flicked it in the direction of the hovering glass orb, coaxing it down from the ceiling where it had been hovering innocently for Merlin knows how long.

Callum opened his mouth to ask if there had been any other funny business going on in the tower that might indicate that he had work to do, but decided against it a half second later.

Any classroom where a crystal ball could be lost on a ceiling wasn't the place to ask such questions.

Instead, he shook his head again after one more glance around. "Dust, you said?" he recalled. "I can see to that later this evening. Just leave the classroom open."

"Dust," she agreed, "I thought it might have been an infestation of markles, but it turned out not to be."

She beamed to him as her hands grasped the ball, placing it in its proper place on her desk. Shaking her finger at it as if it had been a naughty crystal ball, she rounded the desk again, leaning against it a moment before hopping up so she was sitting on it entirely, legs swinging.

"I'll leave it open," she offered.

"Perfect," Callum said, unable to keep the dry tone out of his voice. To cover for it, he cast one last leery glance around the room before silently dubbing it to be as safe as a classroom up in a tower could be.

Unless one of the students shoved another out of the window, he didn't think there would be any trouble. Unless, of course, the crystal ball made a habit of floating on the ceiling. All he needed was for Peeves to catch sight of that and get ideas in that vile green head of his.

"Have a good day, then, Professor," he mumbled, moving to take his leave. With this out of the way, he had time to organize his own office a little before September arrived.

"And you," she called rather vacantly from where she was perched on her desk, legs still swinging.

She did glance rather cautiously to the crystal ball a moment, and she wonder who might have charmed it to stay up there. Even Luna wasn't of a mind to think it had gotten there by itself. And she couldn't think offhand of any creatures who might have been able to suspend the object.

Well, no harm done, she supposed.
