Erwin could see her bent over her latest research, eyes nearly boring into the numerous papers on her desk. She was too deep in focus to even register his presence and opportunities like this occurred only every so often. He held his breath and slowly approached the woman from behind, taking slow stalking steps until he was a mere few inches from her back. Leaning over, his lips hovered next to her ears, "Well hello there Hanji, it's been a while, hasn't it?" he whispered softly.
Hanji had stayed up all night researching into her most recent obsession about Threstrals and if it was possible to create something to make her whole class see them. It is always so difficult to make people believe in ‘invisible creatures’, which made no sense as they all knew about magic.
Leaning over her papers eyes flicking from one book to the next her breathing barely audible apart from the odd gasp. However due to the extreme silence that was previously in her office, the sudden presence of Erwin’s voice so close to her ear caused a loud cry of shock to leave her mouth. Along with the scattering of the many papers, quills, ink pots and who knows what else across the office floor.
"What did you do THAT for?!" She complained loudly at the tall blonde, who looked rather smug with himself.
Erwin let out a rare hardy laugh. “Because you’re way too easy when you’re neck deep in your research,” he said as he pulled back, still unable to wipe the grin off his face. Erwin always did enjoy teasing others but Hanji would probably be his favorite, for obvious reasons. Her reactions were quite magnificent. But as he eyed the room and it’s sudden disarrayed state, he knew he was to blame at least for a bit of it. In one fluid motion he pulled out his wand and gave a small swish. The papers picked themselves up and rearranged in their previous positions on Hanji’s desk, and the same for the tossed aside quills and spilled over ink bottles. Within seconds the room was returned to it’s previous state and Erwin pulled a chair over to sit across from Hanji.
"So, how’ve you been?"
Hanji sat completely still in her office chair still recoiled in shock barely breathing. After a few minutes she managed to compose herself to respond to Erwin who had made himself somewhat comfortable, which she didn't mind after all they had been friends for a long while. That and he did always listen to her ramble on about various things, even if he didn't always look like he understood.
"I could have done without the mini heart attack..." She joked shooting an irritated look his way. Leaning forward towards Erwin resting an arm on her desk for support she smirked. "So how is my Favourite Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor doing..?"
