*Hedwig swoops in and drops a letter on the desk*
*Clicks her beak then soars back out*
Dear Professor McGonagall,
I read the Prophet this morning and noticed the article about the dropping student numbers. I really can't believe it! Don't they know Hogwarts is by far the safest place?
If it's alright with you, I'd like to visit the school quite soon. I've been away for so long and I'm really missing it. Maybe I could visit for the first Gryffindor Quidditch match of the season?
Please reply as soon as you can so I can arrange my schedual. Looking forward to hearing from you again.
Yours,
Harry[/color]

*whistles down the hall* *sees a nervous boy in the corner* *perks his eyebrow as his tune trails off* *walks back and swings his arm around Neville's shoulder*
"Why the long face, bro?"

*Comes down from her room, and to her desk*
*Letting her cloak drap over the desk chair, she heard the faint sound of an owl chirping, and turned to see the white wings of Hedwig turning around the window corner*
*Smiling, she eventually found the letter left for her, and read it*
*Sitting down to her desk, she pulled out a blank parchment, and inked her quill*
*Finishing the letter, she called her own Barn Owl down from its beloved stool, and handed him the letter*
*As soon as he left, Minerva heard a knock on the door.*
*Standing up, she made her way to the door, and opened it*
Neville...
*Although surprised, she gave a comforting small smile*
And Mister Joy...
*She waited a moment, before moving aside and waving them in*
Come take a seat

*turns his head as the door opens before him* *responds back with a charming smile*
Evening Professor McGonagall. Don't mind if I do. Might as well drop by to visit the exquisite Ms. McGonagall.
*gives her a playful wink* *strides inside the room and pauses*
Come Ne-v-lle.
*has difficulty saying his name because he barely knows him* *while waiting for Neville to respond, he leans over so that he can whisper only to Professor McGonagall's ears*
Madame. Call me TJ. My full name just doesn't suit me.
*laughs* *makes himself comfortable* *slumps on a cushy chair, propping his legs up on the table while he places his hands behind his head*
Quite the room you got there Professor.

*opens her mouth to speak, but is interupted by a stag patronus, letting her know that Ginny and Harry had arrived*
Finally.
*Sighing, she looked at the boys*
Just wait here for a moment, I'll be right back

*Walking back in, she noticed Neville still hanging out around the door, and ushered him on in*
Sorry. Just had some minor guests to escort in.
Now, if the both of you would take your seats...*Motioning towards the chairs in front of her desk, and giving a glance at Neville*
*Looking at her desk, she walked past Troy, and muttered*
Get your feet of my desk.
*And then swiftly sat in her chair*
What can I do for the two of you?

*shuffles inside the office and takes a seat beside the other boy who intimidated him greatly*
"Um well Professor I thought that I would come to ask..ask for work."
*Took a deep breath and continued, still slightly nervous, his shaking hands proving it*
"You see, I've always figured that I would be a good or at least a satisfactory teacher, and I was just wondering if perhaps you would let me be a sort of substitute or teachers helper around Hogwarts. I-I understand if you don't."
*Nerves gets the better of him and keeps glancing from Professor McGonagall to the younger boy beside him*

*Resting her elbows on the front of her desk, she pulled her chair in closer, and leaned forward the slightest bit towards Neville*
Neville, *sighing, and she glances down at the heavy amount of paper work, and then back to the pupil in front of her*
Teaching is a very hard job. Takes a lot of time and responsibility. Organization is key, and it takes the ability to dicapline if and when necessary.
*She knew Neville to be highly intelligent. As for his ability in holding his ground--she wasn't so persuaded*

*Hedwig flies in and drops her last letter on the Professor's desk* Dear Professor,
It was good to see you the other day although I'm sorry I couldn't stay long. Please let me know when the Quidditch match is and I'll be there.
Yours,
Harry [/color]

*A grave but serious look upon his face. Neville had never been more sincere. Sure people looked at him as if he was a weakling and wouldn't mount to anything but teaching had been one of his dreams since he had put foot into Hogwarts in his 1st year, and after going through 7 years at the school, he had come to think of it as a home away from home. He was not going to give up without a fight.*
"Professor, one chance is all I need. And If I mess it up then I agree to you letting me go. I know I may not look like much or even look that smart, but teaching is in my blood, and if I set my mind to it, I can change anyone."
*A stony look at the young boy next to him*

Just marking my territory Prof.
*swivel his chair 360 degree to remove his feet* *rest his head on his hand with a bored expression as he listens to what Neville had to say*
He wants to be a teacher? How old is the dude anyway?
*closes his eyes as the droning voices lull him to sleep* *tilts his head back to better assist his "gurgling"* *feels a chilly glare and perks up*
What? Oh no you're not.
*gets out of the chair and takes out wand*
Professor. He's up to no good. It's all an act.
Begone evil spirit. Begone.

Dear Prof. McGonagall,
I have decided to leave Hogwarts. I'm not really sure what to put in this letter, but I just don't know whether there is somthing I need to do before I leave. Please respond soon, I intend to leave as soon as possible.
From, Anna Bellacoure

*raises an eyebrow at the smarmy boy infront of him. Neville was annoyed now, not only was Professor McGonagall not taking him seriously but this boy was making him look ridiculous*
*Turns to the boy, a frown upon his face.*
"What are you? 12? Put your wand away, you might take your eye out. Now if you wouldn't mind, I would prefer to talk to Professor McGonagall in private, so would you care to leave? She can talk to you after I'm finished, it won't take long so go and twiddle your thumbs in the corridor."
*Turns away from the boy, indicating that he was dismissed and awaited for the Professor to answer his previous statement.*

*Studying everything that Neville said, between his arguement of teaching, so his strength of standing up against the other boy, her mind was indeed settled in her decision*
*Looking to the gryffindor boy*
Mister Joy, will you please wait for me right outside my office? I'll-
*A letter flew in, landing on her desk, and in mid sentance picked it up. Reading it she felt her heart sink*
be with you in a moment
*her last words holding a sadder tone then moments before*
