It was the afternoon and Aisha had a meeting that night with Mary, in the meantime she needed to also meeting with the Head Mistress about the issues that were arising between the two professors, McGriffin and Adamson. SHe had already met with them both and now that she had collected what she needed she was going to make her way up to the office. She had already pulled small silver slivers from her mind and placed them in small vials just in case they were needed and went with them securely hidden in her robes. When she met the statue she gave the password and went up the stairs.

Minerva was setting at her desk and writing on a long scroll. Beside her was a portrait popped up on an easel (of herself) that was patiently looking over at the desk to watch what she was writing. The real Minerva and the painting both greet Ria as she enters in unison. It would be rather spooky, but even maybe even a little amazing to most as the portrait and Minerva now seemed to think and speak exactly the same way at the same time.
The human professor smiles at Ria, "Good evening?" Not really wasting any time, "How did it go?"

She smiled as both picture and the Head Mistress spoke. "You both complement each other well." She said with a polite bow of her head. "Good evening Professor." She walked the distance from the stairs to the desk and sat in a chair. "It was, rather interesting to say the least. I can say I have met them both officially now." She had a soft laugh to her voice as she pulled out two small vials of silver liquid. "These are memories of each encounter if you wish to watch them later. I thought it might be best for you to see the encounter as well."
She placed them on the desk and waited wondering how she should proceed.

"Excellent. I will review them later, but I do believe this shall be kept on record for any future situations. Overall, do you believe this is a situation that will need interference, or should we arrange a mediation between the two to sort it out?" The last thing she wanted was for the situation to carry over into the school where potential students could be at risk. "Do be honest with me. What do you think?"

Aisha crossed her legs and sat back in the chair. "No, I don't believe there needs to be interference but mediation may be a good option. First of all, Professor Adamson is quick to anger, I think he needs to work on that. Yes he was just displaying his protective side to the students but he does let that anger boil up quite a bit. Professor McGriffin on the other hand, has the ability to over exaggerate. She seems and forgive me if I am wrong, but to be touched in the head with madness over some sort of political agenda. She has an incredible resume that she was more then willing to share but she also stated that she over did the bit about Adamson." She stopped to take a breath for a moment before she continued.
"She want's his post so she can push her battle league agenda I think. She also believes that Hogwarts is a seat of power for change, good or bad and she wants to use that to gain whatever it is she is looking for. Adamson seems to have a lot on his plate, they both seemed to have worked out through a few of their problems about this league but Adamson wasn't completely on board with everything and I think that and her constant prodding at the things that meant something to him caused him to become defensive. Dristan needs some type of anger management and Quinn needs to cool her jets and work slower at trying to implement change. It seems she wants everything to happen over night, but change doesn't come quickly."
She hesitated almost a moment. "She seems to me, that she has some sort of Umbridge persona. We all remember that woman from her days here at the school." She made a foul face, she knew that the Head Mistress would remember better than most what that woman did. "Adamson could get incredibly worse if he doesn't get that temper in check. He reminds me of the stories about how Sirius was quick to anger and protect what was his without thinking of the consequences. If they could both drop those persona's and come together and figure out this battle league they want, and not fly off the handle at each poke or prob. I think they could get on the same page together."
She finished her thoughts on the matter and sat there waiting.

"Indeed." The mere mention of Umbridge caused Minerva and her portrait both to cringe up. "Thank you for coming to me with this, I believe I can have them sit down with Professor Oakwood. As much as I dislike having more people involved, it would be best to have unified eyes and ears on the situation to help keep it civil. They both have their strengths and weaknesses and both of them are quite talented teachers." She hated situations like this, though on the other hand it actually brought some life into an otherwise dull school. She just didn't want the teacher obsessed with war to create a war in the school, even unintentionally. "Thank you Professor, I do owe you a favour for going to all this trouble. It means a lot. I believe I should need to inform Ambrose to see if he can sort out this mess." That was a cue that Ria could leave if she needed to. She sends a house elf to find @ambroseoakwood and invite him into the office. Minerva also bottles this conversation to add to the collection. As well as watches them to update herself.
The following is saved for Oakwood to read and watch via letters and Pensieve: <The previous convo with Ria tonight via Pensieve> Letters: hogwartsbynight.boards.net/thread/440/owl-minerva-mcgonagall-12thPensieve: hogwartsbynight.boards.net/thread/496/professor-mcgriffin-ria-astronomy-towerPensieve: hogwartsbynight.boards.net/thread/506/broomsticks-23-2017-adamson-ria |

"Of course Head Mistress, if there is anything else you need just let me know. I will be happy to assist any way I could." She stood to leave. "I also wanted to give 20 points to Slytherin for Dmitry Wolfbauer. He has a personal issue with Professor Kestral and her kind, tonight he is meeting with her and I to sort through the personal feelings. It bodes well for the young man and I am proud of him for stepping up to face this." She smiled and bowed her head to both the portrait and the Head Mistress.
"I think Ambrose is a fine choice." She turned to take her leave.

Not long after Aisha leaves, Ambrose shows up. He has the gargoyle step aside and enters the office. "Headmistress?" the Divination teacher asks as he closes the door behind him. "You wanted to see me?"

"Welcome Ambrose, please have a seat if you like." She motions to a chair and moves over to pour him a cup of tea. "I am wondering if you might be in the mood to attempt mediation on a situation before it gets out of hand?" She motions to the vials ((two posts up are the links)) and some letters resting on the table next to the teacup. "If you are able to help, please review the peniseve memories and letters, it should work find for you."

Ambrose takes his time to go through the memories and reading the letters. After a long moment, he sits back and sighs. "Wonderful. Our lovely teachers need to be working together...not...whatever this is going to be." He gathers the letters and pensieve together on her desk and nods to the Headmistress. "I can mediate this. Though...I might take my own personal precautions. Let's see...can't have them meet in the castle. Say...Hogsmeade? A room at the Three Broomsticks. I'll take care of them there. Unless you have reservations, Headmistress?"

"No reservations. I have complete confidence in your abilities Amrbose. Thank you for taking the time to look through the paperwork, and good luck. There are a lot of people out there who still have issues from the war, we cannot bring that back into the castle and scare the children again. She is useful as we can use that passion to ensure another war does not happen again... but battle techniques? Would we not just be creating another threat who knows us better? I am conflicted already... and now this? Thank you for seeing to it."
