Why was he here again? Abendroth kept asking the same question to himself inside his head, of course because of what the teachers would call a slight behavior problem among the kids. Some students had gotten the great idea of getting magical tattoos that could protect them from the ever watchful eyes of the teachers, of course the professors can´t have that, so they had now send Abendroth to go talk with the artist who had given those student the oh so great tattoos.
If Aldrich remembered correctly, this was a former potion student of his, not a good one, but a decent one, he would have been able to remember her name if she had been good, or just one of those people who liked to screw his classes up.
The shop looked like any other shop to him, well of course it would since what they sold was nothing of interest, if this had been an herb shop or a potion shop then it had been another case, but not a tattoo shop. "I am looking for the owner! Where is she?" Aldrich’s voice was hard, loud and clear, any student resent or old would have remembered it, if they had ever had him.

Oh no,not him. Jinx thought with a frown on her face. I thought I'd gotten rid of him when I quited school. Wel,angry or not,happy or not, he was here and she'd have to talk to him,her 'oh,so beloved ex-professor'.What he teached she didn't remember,probably a class to wich she didn't care. So,turning on her heels she headed to the door of the room she was in.
"I'm here." Jinx kept said from her spot right behind him as she used a cool and uniterested tone, he obviously wasn't here for a tatoo,so whay would the old man come all the way here?Now she'd get her answer. Hopefully. "Sho,what's it that you want?" She asked keeping her uniterested tone, she just hoped this talk wouldn't be as boring as she though it would be.

Well, well, well seemed like he had been right, it had not been one of the good students, though as far as he knew, she hadn´t been one of the bad either, simply just decent enough to pass. Aldrich inspected her, she had changed a little since he saw her last, though as far as he could remember not much, though that uninterested tone was not something you could mistake, nearly all his students seemed to use that tone when speaking to him, a thing which he didn´t mind, since it didn´t disturb anyone.
"Well, me and some other professors, have had the unfortunate experience of gaining the knowledge of that your quite famous tattoos are being abused by the students..." Aldrich spoke, his voice calm, clear, and not one to discuss with. "They use the tattoos to cheat, sneak away from classes, and such things, I am afraid I have to ask you not to sell any of your tattoos to any of the students." Aldrich looked at the former student again, certainly the changes had been to the better, she was now actually beautiful, a sly smirk came upon his face, of course for no apparent reason.

Jinx rolled her eyes at what he said.So that was the reason for him coming here.She knew this would happen sooner or later.She then closed her eyes and took a deep breath as her hands come to rest on her waist.After she oppened her eyes and looked at him. She could remember his looks but,still what he teached didn't come to mind,but the fact that his class wasn't all that interesting came.
"Well,that's not really all my fault.All I do is my art,how the students decide to use it is beyond me." She shrugged her shoulders, what did he except her to do? Stop her work? Would he stop teaching...whatever he teached, if he knew that it was being misused by the stuends? She didn't really think so.

"I know..." Aldrich said, she was speaking the truth, she had no knowledge of what her customers did with her tattoos, it was certainly a risky buisness, since if her tattoos was found at the wrong place on the wrong people, doing the wrong things, then she was going to be held responsible, even if she didn´t want to.
"All I, and the other professors is that, you can restrict the students to specific tattoos, in that way we can still allow them to come here, and we will have taken care of the problem." Aldrich looked at her, a serious face was planted on him, of course he wasn’t going to give into some silly demands or arguments against it, it was either one or none, if she wanted to keep using the students as customers, then she would have to give into his demands, unless she found another way to change his mind, a thing which was really hard to do.
Nobody, at least not recorded had to date ever made Aldrich change his mind about anything, unless he himself had wanted to change his mind, though in this case he didn´t want to, so this woman was going to get a hell of a time.

Jinx sighed,fighting the urge to roll her eyes again.Did they really except it to change anything?Why didn't they close that Weasley's place then?I sold things worse than just her tatoos. She couldn't do much anyway,the tatoos were made for mostly protection,if she was to restric them the students would only have moving tatoos.
"Well,you see,the purpose for what I make the tatoos is mostly simple protection,it's not my fault the students are using it for other things, besides I can't just go and make restrictions out of the thin air,I'd be stepping in their freedom." Besides,the poor things must be trying to protect themselves from the boredom of classes like your's She thought, how would she just go making restrictions?This would drop the number of clients,surely. "Maybe,you should try to talk to them first.Before coming to me.Correct me if I'm worng,but you did not talk to them did you?" She stated raising her head a little to look in his eyes.

She spoke the truth, a cold hard fact that Aldrich just had to live with, he had not felt one tiny bit of lie from her, of course she understood things from a student’s point of view, right now she was probably thinking bad things about him, a nice thing of her to do, Aldrich didn’t really care how his students and ex-students thought about him, they could think of him as the king of the world, or the lowest being on earth, but in the end of the day, it was always him that came out victorious.
Aldrich sighed, this woman was one ignorant woman, of course she was right, if the students found out, they would stop coming, but if they kept coming, it could hurt their education, not that he cared much or anything, it was just that he didn´t like when the students was out of his grasp, and unfortunate effect of this woman’s magical tattoos.
"Believe me I did talk to them, unfortunately students in our time, are like animals, they only listen to the leader of the pack, and unfortunately that aren´t professors." Aldrich´s eyes was cold and piercing, like he as trying to look through the woman's very core foundation of her soul, of course he wasn´t, it was just a normal effect his eyes had, when he was getting really pissed by people´s ignorance, and greed for more money. "The students won’t listen to us, so we have to restrict their access."

Maria's face twisted to a frown, but it went as quick as it came.Honestly,calling the students 'animals'?A professor with no respect for the students.Very common things nowadays.
"Well,I'm not the one to blame if you can't control your own students.Maybe,if you showed more respect for them." She made her thoughs know,not really caring about his reaction.She couldn't really remember much about him but came to the conclusion that he was a disgusting,decrepit old men.Or at least,he like behaving like a total bastard.
"Well,in any sort of way,I'm not gonna do anything before really having a discussion about it with the Headmistress.You see,I need to hav ethings sorted ou in the right way.Every single detail.With a written accord and signed papers if it is needed.Don't take me wrong,thi is not personal,but I'm not just gonna solve things with a professor.And not just with simple words."
That was it.Solving those matters would not happen so fast, Maria had nothing to do with the students behaivor.She was just a simple tatoo artist,nothing more.But if they wanted to make it a big thing,so she guessed she'd have to go with it.

"Well, I'm not the one to blame if you can't control your own students. Maybe, if you showed more respect for them."
"Well they haven´t exactly made themselves worthy of my respect." Aldrich said coldly, respect wasn´t something he handed out like candy, it had to be earned, and there was only one way of gaining his respect, hard work, loyalty, willingness to serve him. If those things were in that person, then he would respect them, but so few students owned those traits anymore. The young generations had become more wild, more untamed, a thing which he did not like, things had been so much better in the good old days.
"Well, in any sort of way, I’m not going to do anything before really having a discussion about it with the Headmistress. You see,I need to hav ethings sorted ou in the right way. Every single detail. With a written accord and signed papers if it is needed. Don't take me wrong, thi is not personal, but I'm not just gonna solve things with a professor. And not just with simple words."
Aldrich felt her lying about the fact that it wasn´t personal, it was very personal, at least so he felt, this woman didn´t like it, that was understandable, he didn´t really like her either, so it was fair enough that she didn´t like him. "Of course, you can go see the Headmistress." There was nothing that he could say that would convince her to not do that, and he actually didn´t really care, at least now he had moved the problem over to the Headmistress instead of himself.
“Now that it has been decided, I will take my leave.” Aldrich then said, as he turned around, and began to casually walk towards the door. “May you have a pleasant day, miss. “ Aldrich said, as he opened the door, and walked out, the gentle wind hitting him as he exited the Shop, his job here was done, he had given the message to the tattooist.

Disgusting old bastard.It's understandable the students behaivor, and their urge to get away from your class.Now it comes to me that I wanted to do the same thing too.
Maria thought as she watched him go,without another word.If she had,she'd settle things with the Headmistress,it would obviously be much better than talking to such a bastard.
