I would just like to let you all know that I am going to do everything within my power to make sure you are all safe. If any of you would like to talk privately, I am here. I know this is a difficult and scary time, and some tea and talking is a great way to calm the nerves.

Additionally, and this is nothing but a personal favour to me, and not an official rule, but... I would like to ask that until this issue is resolved and the culprit is caught, please do not hide all of your conversations over the journals with a privacy spell. When everyone is hiding things from us Professors, it looks very suspicious! And it ultimately makes it all the harder to track the person responsible down.

Obviously this is not mandatory, but it would help very much.

Azula, if you would be so kind to meet me in my office for bit of tea, I would be delighted.

Ah, of course.

Thank you very much, Professor.

[jasmineofthewest]

My pleasure! I'll see you soon.

[tellsthestories]

I'll be looking forward to it.

[Sometime later, Iroh arrives in front of the portrait, and he's fortunate enough to meet a student arriving as well, and sends said student to let Wendy know he's arrived.]

[Wendy is clearly shaken as she climbs out to meet Iroh, but she gives him a polite smile.]

Thank you again, Professor.

[Iroh wishes he could make her feel better, but the only thing he can do is put on his brightest smile and try and cheer her up through happiness.]

It's honestly my pleasure!

[He begins walking, and suddenly stops.]

Oh, you know, I was thinking... Have you ever been down to the kitchens?

[ACTION]

[tellsthestories]

The kitchens? No, I haven't!

[ACTION]

[jasmineofthewest]

Well, I'm afraid during Christmas I absolutely exhausted my supply of sweets and desserts. What would you say going down to the kitchens and asking the house elves if they might be willing to cook us up a few things? I'm sure given the circumstances, they would be happy to!

[ACTION]

[tellsthestories]

Oh, Professor! I would love to visit the dear House Elves!

[ACTION]

[jasmineofthewest]

Excellent! I'm sure they would be happy to meet you as well.

[And he ushers for her to follow, and sets off at a leisurely pace towards the kitchens.

[ACTION]

[tellsthestories]

[Wendy follows, distracted and better for now.]

Do you think they'd let me help them bake? Or would that be considered rude?
