Headmistress Célestine's Office closed

The office is currently closed

On the third floor, on the building's northern side, was the office of the Headmistress. Anyone who would enter it would find it looking so clean and yet so spacious. There was a desk in the left corner where Célestine was usually sitting with some papers. Behind the desk, hidden from everyone, was a place for her snake. There were a couple of fireplaces on both sides of the door to the balcony.

Ceiling was reminding about stars, and in rainy weather, it would look like a clear blue sky with a sun shining on the whole room. However, at night it again will return to stars. If one was focused on it, they could notice them moving, with occasionally one star falling. The walls were always of a light blue color, except for holidays. During them, walls would be decorated for Christmas, Halloween, or other main holidays. The floor also couldn't stay without changes. It was representing grass during the day and stars during the night. During Christmas it will look like snowflakes with a Christmas tree.

The right side of the office was filled with shelves full of books. However, what was unknown to students was that one of the books could move one set of shelves to the side and open a great view: small a space filled with flowers and nice light, and in the center there was something resembling a Pensieve. Célestine liked to revisit some of her memories when she had more free time.

If someone were able to get to the balcony, they would see it decorated with flowers and some seats to enjoy the view from the castle. Entrance to her office was enchanted to not let anyone in without saying the password when Célestine was outside. The password would change every Sunday and will be unknown to the students.

From outside of the office, the door looked like a big wooden door, with a snake and Beauxbatons emblem preventing it from being opened. From inside, this door was decorated with stars and mountains, letting anyone easily open it to go out.

Whenever Célestine was in her office, the door would be a little bit open, so students could know that she was inside.

Claire had a gift for her headmistress, a Christmas present/thank-you for all she did for the students of Beauxbatons. Claire wasn't sure if Headmistress Célestine would like it, or if Claire was wasting her headmistress's time. She was currently feeling shy for the first time in her life, hesitating outside her office. She was shifting a small gold-glittery rectangular box from hand to hand. When Claire realized she was doing it she made herself stop.
A bookmark that seemed to be made of thick white paper was inside the box. The front side had small pressed blue daisies on the center top with a light pink ribbon that seemed to be tying them together as a mini bouquet. The back on the top center had the Beauxbatons school crest, and at the bottom center, had the words "Headmistress Célestine" in cursive perfectly matching the blue of the flowers on the front side.
Claire had made the bookmark herself, since she was good at flower crafts. However, she had gotten help from an older student with sticking the flowers and strengthening them, because she didn't know any spells to do it herself. The gold box, an inch or two larger in all directions was the smallest she could find, though. She didn't ask the student to help her find a smaller one, because the student had done enough already.
Claire knew Headmistress Celestine was in her office, because the door was slightly ajar. She hid the box behind her back with her left hand, then took a deep breath before knocking twice with her right, accidently making the door open slightly wider.

Don't be fooled by my looks, blood, and riches; I am actually really nice.

Parseltongue Fleur-de-lys|Parseltongue Célestine|French

It was a quiet evening. Soon would be New Year so Célestine didn't have much work to do. And now she was sitting on the floor on the comfortable pillow and was playing with her snake. Usually, Fleur-de-lys was hidden from the view to not scare students. Célestine wanted to be like a friend to them, not someone to be scared of.

There's someone behind the door. A girl. She smiled. Her snake always seemed to catch it better than her. Thank you. As her little friend was sliding away to the hiding spot, Célestine stood up and took out tea, coffee and some snacks. Whoever was behind the door certainly didn't seem to feel confident as they took some time standing there without any sound.

Please come in. She spoke when there was a knocking and the door was opened slightly wider. Hi, do you want tea or coffee? There are some snacks as well if you want.She smiled while looking at the girl in front of her. She was curious what brought this student here this evening. She didn't mind it and was even happy about it. However, it wasn't often that she had students coming to her no matter how much she wished to be closer to them. Please don't be afraid. You can sit here near the desk or we can sit there on pillows on the floor. She spoke softly. Only someone who looked at her closely would notice that she was overly friendly and relaxed. Feeling comfortable yet not intimidating, she was acting as if she was just a friend and not a Headmistress for the girl standing in her office.

How was your day? A small talk rather than direct asking for a reason of this visit. Hopefully, it would help this girl to feel more comfortable around Célestine.
