Upon entering the office you notice a large circular room with lots of windows, and portraits of the previous headmaster's and headmistress's from previous terms within Hogwarts. Along one wall is a large bookcase that goes all the way to the high ceiling. Behind Stef's desk is the sorting hat and beside that is Gryffindor's sword that is kept in a glass case. Along another wall is a large fireplace that is also connected to the floo network, for whenever it is needed.
On the desk is a picture of her and Warren on the beach in the Caribbean from the summer previous. Other then that there isn't much on the desk, but a quill, parchment and ink pot for whenever she might need them. She's pretty neat, and doesn't leave much lying around. In the center of the room is a nice sitting area, in which Stef prefers to sit and enjoy her company. It has some nice squashy chairs and couches all surrounding a soft, fuzzy rug, and in the very center is an ornate wooden table with a bowl of candied fruit in the center.
Til now I always got by on my own. I never really cared until I met you. alone And now it chills me to the bone. How do I get you?
Ugh what a start to the new term. Now he had to deal with two moronic kids instead of one and had to give them detention. Joys. Not bothering to knock Warren walked into his fiance's office and looked around. Better her than him as Head of this school that was for sure. He'd sit back and let her be in charge gladly.
Not seeing Stefanie anywhere he almost turned around and left when his eye caught sight of a foot hanging off the sofa. Chuckling to himself silently he walked around the sofa softly. Kneeling down by the couch he ran his fingers along her cheek softly with a smile.
Yawning she moved to stretch one hand out above her head. It had been a long day and an even longer evening getting the students situated for the night. Feeling something move on her cheek she slapped it away, before even opening her eyes.
Her eyes flying open as she realized it wasn't a bug, she moved quickly to sit up, blinking the sleep from her eyes. Laughing as she realized who it was, she shook her head "I didn't think I'd be able to hide from everyone."
Til now I always got by on my own. I never really cared until I met you. alone And now it chills me to the bone. How do I get you?
Warren watch Stefanie move in her sleep with a fond smile. As she slapped his hand he raised an eyebrow as she woke up and looked at him. "Well if you were trying to hide from me you know you need to do better than in your office, love."
Moving off the floor he winced as he heard his knee crack and shook his head, "The signs of getting older." Sighing he sat down on the couch beside her and pulled her down so she could lean against him. "Besides you know that I'm one of the few that has no problem walking into here without knocking and waiting for an answer." She was his fiance for pete's sake of course he didn't. What was she going to do? Fire him? HA that'd be funny. Probably do him a favour so she didn't have to keep saving these trouble making kids from his temper and unusual punishments.
Snuggling against him, she grinned at him, "Well at least here it's private." she replied lifting her eyebrow daintily. Relaxing again she sighed with content. "It's still feels so weird to have this huge office to myself. All I want is a small little spot like last term."
Her fingers threading into his hand nearest her, she looked back up at him. "Did you manage to deal with those two after they cleaned the hall?"
Til now I always got by on my own. I never really cared until I met you. alone And now it chills me to the bone. How do I get you?
"That is true," he said looking around. Only those who knew the password could get up here so it was very quiet. Turning his head, Warren looked at her. "Who says you have it to yourself? Technically I intend to come and go as I please," he said with a smirk. "Do remember that you aren't alone. You can always come to me sweetheart."
Oi. Then the topic changed to his two new favourite students and he sighed. "They were taken care of as best I could since locking them up in the dungeon forever isn't an option."
Laughing lightly she turned and laid her head in his lap facing him. Her fingers rethreading through his again, she gazed up at him. "I can't imagine not having you here this term." Not after all they had been through last term. Had it been only a year? Wow!
Shaking her head, "I just hope they got that all out of their system." Nibbling at her lip she shook her head "I don't recall Eric being that way last term, but wasn't JD the one who did laps?"
Til now I always got by on my own. I never really cared until I met you. alone And now it chills me to the bone. How do I get you?
Warren looked down at Stefanie and smiled, taking his free hand and running it over her forehead he played with her hair and smiled. "Well I hadn't planned on leaving this term," he said with a chuckle.
"Yes he was the one who ran laps, and picked the weeds with tweezers. I have to get a bit more inventive I guess this year." He shook his head and leaned his head back against the sofa. "Don't exactly understand why they like to test me."
"That's good, just make sure you're not too naughty." she replied with a smirk as she looked up at him. Giggling at the thought of having to discipline him she shook her head again, "That might be too much fun."
"Perhaps you let them get to you too much?" she asked softly with a grin, trailing her free hand up his chest.
Til now I always got by on my own. I never really cared until I met you. alone And now it chills me to the bone. How do I get you?
Warren looked down at Stefanie with a raised eyebrow and a slight smirk. "Too much fun watching me teaching them some manners? Or too much fun having to reprimand me if I did go too far?" He asked feeling pretty confident that he knew the answer to that.
He watched her hand move up his chest and smirked again. "Is that what you think? Perhaps I'm just sensitive to how others treat me." Pfft not in the slightest. He moved his fingers down her face and throat lightly watching as it trailed over her skin.
Laughing lightly she shook her head and smirked up at him. "Both?" Hehe yeah that might sound mean for the students, but it always did amuse her watching the poor students chasing their tails with Warren around. But that's why she loved him. He didn't let anything get to him, and didn't take nothing from anyone. They either respected him or they didn't.
Shrugging best she could in the position she was in, "I don't know. I mean, some of these kids just are looking for trouble." Not to mention the food fight that had been started, and him getting pied. "I guess in some ways I just ignore it, 'cause they just want attention."
Til now I always got by on my own. I never really cared until I met you. alone And now it chills me to the bone. How do I get you?
Warren chuckled at Stefanie's answer and leaned down to kiss her forehead. "A woman after my heart," he said with a smirk. "Who knew you had such a vindictive streak."
"Some of these kids need a good whooping is what they need. Children have no discipline these days because their parents give them what they want to shut them up." He looked at her curiously as his fingers ran along her collar bone. He knew he didn't like children and never saw himself having any not having the patience but.... "Do you want kids one day?" Probably an absurd question considering they hadn't even set a wedding date but. Meh.
"Well as headmistress i gotta make sure my staff is happy too." Laughing again she shook her head, "I suppose it just amuses me watching as you tackle these kids who need discipline. When I have it so difficult in trying to even think up ways to discipline."
Oh she agreed with that, there'd been a few times over the years, that she wished corporal punishment had been allowed. Hehe just use a simple charm and and use it as a teaching experience. Oh, no...he just asked... She knew eventually they'd need to talk about it, she just dreaded it. Biting her lip she sighed and looked up at him before dropping her eyelashes, "I suppose I've always wanted a child, but it's...it's too late."
How did he feel about that...? It bothered her that she'd never said anything til now, knowing she should have. "Do you?" she asked softly.
Til now I always got by on my own. I never really cared until I met you. alone And now it chills me to the bone. How do I get you?
"Well then you're doing an excellent job because I'm incredibly happy," Warren said with a smirk. "Well it takes a certain type of person to think up ingenious ways to punish people. Being an Auror for so long taught me things, though some things I'm not allowed to do. You just aren't meant for it which I like. You're kind and soft hearted while I'm not," he said quietly as he brushed his fingers along her cheek with a smile.
Wait..what did she mean it was too late? "Why is it too late?" he asked not beating around the bush about it. A health problem? Hmm.
"Do I? That's a good question. But I never saw myself as the father type. As you might have noticed I don't have the patience for children," he gave her a smile though he was still curious what she meant by it was too late. She wasn't old enough to not be able to any more.... Hmm.
Her eyes shining as he spoke, both with happiness and with laughter. They were such a perfect match, complete opposites in some ways, but the same in others.
Lifting her eyes to his, she shook her head "I've not had my uhh, monthly cycle in about five years now. After speaking with a few healers, nobody's ever been able to figure out why." Her hand touching moved up to touch his cheek. "Til now, it's never bothered me, because I never saw myself falling in love again." she said softly.
A small smile flickered on her lips as he said he didn't have patience for children. "Might be different if they were your own."
Til now I always got by on my own. I never really cared until I met you. alone And now it chills me to the bone. How do I get you?
Warren looked at her curiously keeping his fingers moving along her cheek as she explained. That was...odd to be honest. How could they not know why? He leaned his head against her hand and smiled. Turning his head he kissed her palm, "Don't let it bother you sweetheart." Though it kind of bothered him that there was in fact something he couldn't give her that she had wanted.
Smiling he pushed some of her hair behind her ear. "Not if you saw me growing up," he said with a smirk. Leaning down he gave her a kiss and closed his eyes with a sigh. He opened them up again and looked into her own. "I love you with all my heart," he whispered wrapping his arm around her waist and giving her a slight hug.
Not seeing anything that showed he was bothered by her news, she was relieved. Maybe he really didn't want kids, which worked perfectly since she couldn't. Or thought she couldn't anyway. Merlin if she ever ended up pregnant, she just had no clue what she'd do! Seriously at her age...having a baby? One ecstatic that she would be a mother, but then it would hit her and she'd most likely freak out.
"I'm sure that was fun for your mum." she replied with a laugh. Sighing contentedly she returned the kiss and snuggled more against him as he hugged her. "I love you with all of mine." she murmured back, before covering a yawn. "It's getting late I think."
Til now I always got by on my own. I never really cared until I met you. alone And now it chills me to the bone. How do I get you?
Warren smirked and gave her a shrug, "Well I wasn't always this way." Nope at one point in time he'd been perfectly happy. Attending school, Captain of the Quidditch team.... Sigh. Though the thought of him being a father was almost humourous enough to take his mind off of things that had happened in the past. At least he didn't have to worry about that.
He smiled as he watched Stefanie yawn and slid his arms underneath her. "Bed time for the sleepy Headmistress," he said with a smirk as he stood up and picked her up at the same time. Looking around thoughtfully he frowned, "Um...where is your bed?"
If he ever did want to have a child, maybe starting young when they're really at a cute age would be good, not the snotty lil' brats that they turn into just before teenage years. Though the thought of him holding a child willingly in his arms, did make her smile, she just couldn't picture him actually doing that.
Snuggling into his arms as he picked her up, she loved feeling his arms around her. She felt safe and like nothing could ever hurt her. "Right through there, she said nodding towards a blank wall. The whole office was filled with this and that, so a blank wall looked odd, but it was there all the same "Just gotta nudge the wall anywhere and it melts away." Kissing his chin, she laid her head on his shoulder, hoping he was staying with her for the night.
Til now I always got by on my own. I never really cared until I met you. alone And now it chills me to the bone. How do I get you?
Still looking around for anything remotely bedroom like Warren followed Stefanie's nod toward the blank wall. Hmm interesting. Maybe he should have a set up like that. He walked over to the wall and tapped it with his foot watching as the wall disappeared to reveal her bedroom.
Carrying his fiance into the room he set her down on the bed with a smile and pulled the blankets over her. "Goodnight sweetheart," he said with a smile and kissed her.
Yawning again, she looked up at him "Where are you going?' she asked with her eyebrow lifting. Well ok, he probably wanted to make sure everything was situated around the castle and his office, but was he gonna return. "Or were you going to actually sleep in your own bed tonight?" she asked laughing lightly. He didn't do that often that was for sure, that or she joined him there instead.
Til now I always got by on my own. I never really cared until I met you. alone And now it chills me to the bone. How do I get you?
Where was he going? Warren looked at her then at his watch. "I..um..." Well he had intended to go back to his bed not wanting to give the kids something else to start in on. Didn't do to have her or his authority challenged simply because they were seen leaving the same room together. But he had a feeling she wanted him to stay. Looking at her he smiled and shook his head, "No where. I'm going no where."
He pulled off his shirt and kicked off his shoes before walking around the bed and sliding into it beside her. "I guess it doesn't really matter since everyone who needs to know, knows we're engaged," he said with a smile as he got comfortable.
Snuggling close to him, she grinned, she really hadn't wanted to sleep there alone that first night. It seemed so far from the others even though they were just a few floors below. It still seemed like so far away. She supposed she could take one of the empty rooms, but didn't know if she'd still be welcomed to.
"Thank you." she murmured softly. Turning towards him she laid her hand on his chest, "No matter what we do, they're gonna talk. At least the staff is mostly more propriety."
Til now I always got by on my own. I never really cared until I met you. alone And now it chills me to the bone. How do I get you?
Warren smiled as he felt Stefanie snuggle against him and turned his head to look at her. "I just don't want to cause you any unnecessary trouble." He placed his hand on top of hers on his chest.
Turning over he faced her with a smile and pushed her hair back. "So I guess it doesn't matter what we do then huh?" he asked with a smirk before leaning in and kissing her.
A grin appearing on her face when she heard his reply, "Not to me it don't." And she was sure he felt the same, people could talk all they wanted, but very seldom did they even get the facts straight.
Her hand moving over his side as he turned towards her, she met his lips softly returning his kiss. "What do you have in mind?" she asked softly with a smirk appearing. She had a pretty good idea, though.
