A distinguished looking gentleman knocks on the door. "Ms. Cregg? I am Sydney LaVert, Ms. Parker's father figure parental representative."

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

[She kicks her legs down in a smooth mothin, stands, and walks to him with her hand extended] Mr. LaVert. PLeasure to meet you. Please come have a seat.

[centre-sydney.livejournal.com]

Thank you. *seats himself* I hope that Parker has not been running you too ragged. *it's obvious from his demenor that he sincerely cares for Parker -- but knows she's a handful*

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Parker is a joy. She has a very sharp tongue, but she's a wonderful student. She's doing very well in the subject, and I'm pleased with her progress.

[centre-sydney.livejournal.com]

You may be the first person I've heard describe Parker to me as a "joy". Most teachers run for the hills when she arrives in their classes. *for such a mild-looking man, it's surprising that he evidences so much pride in Parker's assertiveness*

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

They're not seeing her then. She's strong and capable and impressed the hell out of me on day one by talking about shoes and bright. If she applies herself a little, she could do anything she wants. I think it's admirable and I, for one, encourage her.

[centre-sydney.livejournal.com]

Yes, she can too do anything she wants. I just wish she'd... want... a bit more broadly. She tends to get narrowly focused. Tell me, if you know, is she making friends? Not minions, she makes those by breathing, but friends, real friends, who challenge her and don't let her walk all over them?

Anya, who is now calm after the bunny incident, arrives with D'Hoffryn.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Anya and...this is? [She looks startled, but surprisingly calm...as if this explains everything.

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

"Hello Professor Cregg!" she says and quickly motions towards the very tall demon behind her. "This is D'Hoffryn. He is my mentor and is visiting me for Parent's weekend."

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you, Mr. D'Hoffryn. Shall we sit?

[demon-hoffryn.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I am to ask you...[looks at Anya] What am I supposed to ask?

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

Why she and that doctor man need devices for their relations

"D'Hoffryn, this is one of my teachers," she explains realizing that maybe that message wasn't clear as she ran away from the bake sale. "You can ask whatever you want, but be assured I am an excellent student."

[demon-hoffryn.livejournal.com]

One would assume it's because they don't interlock properly

Yes, then. Tell me about how wonderful my dearest Anyanka is in your class, Cregg woman.

*knocks on the door before entering*

Excuse me... *wipes his eyes quickly* I think we might need to chat.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

[Extremely professionally, her tone cool] Do come in Doctor Smith. I've been expecting your visit regarding Mr. Harkness. Do sit.

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

*sits down, shrugging*

I suppose Jack would be a start. However, right now, I'm just wanting to apologize, really. Got off on the wrong foot, us.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

No need, sir. It was an unusual circumstance and I am as much at fault. [She looks into his eyes] Let's just leave it in yesterday, shall we?

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

Exactly, the past is the past, and only under certain circumstances do we get to go back and relive it. *he smiles*

Now, about Jack. Has he been doing well? Bright lad, and all that, but I can only imagine what sort of other things might be going through his head at this age...

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Mr. Harkness is a fine student, however he lacks discipline. His tone and disrespect of authority has gotten him into trouble several times. He exhibits violent tendencies which culminated in his assult of myself with a shard of glass. Murder was his goal that day.

I'm continuously amazed at how his mind works. He has flashes of brilliance, but prefers to play childish games and be a distraction in my classroom.

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

*furrows his brow, his mouth slightly open*

Jack tried to kill you?

{{*loves* *kicks back to watch the show*}}

((note to self: Chip likes to watch))

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

{{And this suprises you... why?}}

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

((It actually doesn't. Just watching you back))
