"Good morning, Professor. It is good to see you looking well. I hope that you had a wonderful Summer."
"Anyway, I'm here today to ask whether it would be possible for you to be my tutor this year. I read up on the books you recommended to me on the subject of Animagus transformation, as well as spoke with some of my older family members."
"I still am very interested to learn to be one, and I promise that I'll work hard and do whatever you want me to do. Will you teach me, Professor?"Alyssa asked. She was afraid that the Professor would tell her no like she had last year. So she held her breath while waiting anxiously to hear what Professor Magnus had to say.
Oh, Alyssa. She certainly was eager. And Issy had an idea of what the girl had come to see her about, even before she opened her mouth to speak. But pleasantries out of the way first.
"Morning, Miss Potter. Thank you, I had a lovely summer..." She was just about to ask if the Hufflepuff did as well when it was straight on to business.
Animagus teaching.
"Of course I will, yes. And I'm glad to hear you read up on the subject and did some asking of people that know. I was actually going to find you later today to set you a task before we launch into any training." Isabelle leant forward in her chair and picked up her tea cup again. Taking a quick sip, she studied Alyssa's face to see what reaction her last sentence would provoke.
"I'd like you to write me up an essay on everything you have learned so far from other sources, about being and becoming an Animagus. Then deliver it to me, so I can read up on what you know. Your learning will encompass the next three years, so taking time to do this won't set you back." In case she wondered.

"Hello" the twelve year old grinned up at her. She wasn't expecting him? Well his mother had been the one to tell him to go see her as soon as he had unpacked and looked around a bit. "I was heading up here anyway, I wanted to come see your office" Because who wouldn't? Teachers offices showed you what they liked and stuff. Gave you an insight to them, possible secrets. Not that he would use them against them of course, Terry wasn't like that at all. "And you" he added quickly on the end.
He followed her through to her office and glanced around. One of the objects on her shelf looked familiar, maybe his mum had bought her it for a birthday or something. "Good thank you" he sat down on a chair, only to catch notice of the cat that was in the office. Oh she was so pretty! You could really tell the family liked animals a lot. He tickled the cat behind her ears. "I love it, its so big and exciting" he chuckled. And lessons hadn't even properly started yet.
So he wanted to be nosy, eh? Figured. Nothing to do with actually seeing her. No, he did that most summers anyway. Her office was going to be so much more interesting. Isabelle let out a little giggle snort when he added the "and you" at the end. She gave him a sideways glance and smiled, shaking her head in an amused fashion.
"Well, for the office or me, I'm glad you came along. It's always nice to see you, Terry."
As Angel purred gently to the tickling, Issy went around her desk and sat down opposite her cousin, nodding as he answered her question. At least he was fitting in okay. Although she was sure he wouldn't tell her too much if he wasn't. Having a member of staff on your side for any trouble might have been embarrassing enough for a teenage Slytherin, nevermind it being a family member.
"I'm really glad," she smiled back.
"I know it's a long trek up here from the dungeons, but I hope you'll make it to my lessons?"
