Eh? Hadn't he just arrived?
"You are going to have to wait a bit more. Lots of other people waiting before you."

Ah, see? This was a girl who knew to ASK first before doing anything. Maya wasn't sure that was a good thing or not. But seeing as it was the animal collective -- it was a good thing. She nodded as the girl explained about living in a farm. Well well... "Then I'm sure you can figure out what to do there." But...Maya would check everything was fine.

Okay, no more questions then. But Maya had one. "What is your name?"
Just so...you know...it's good to know incase she needed to find the girl.

Maya turned her head slowly at the voice. And then her gaze fell on the girl's hands. What.....was that? The Mexicana had to actually lean forward to get her eyes to understand what the moving things were. Toy unicorns?

Blink.
Was she insinuating that her home was dirty, and that these...tiny things would do a better job than Maya did.

She closed her eyes for a moment and took a deep breath. Facial muscles worked themselves into a thin smile. "Interesting." A thankyou of sorts. Her hand reached out to gently take the unicorns into her own hand. "I, uh... Will keep them..." somewhere. She didn't finish the sentence.

"Was there anything you wanted help with?" Like how to clean up a dirty carpet that someone had dirtied?


But, it was time to get this line shortened.
Maya searched for the girl...that girl... yeah, that girl. "You, uh, there." She lifted her hand in a sort of...pointing way. "What can I help you with?"

Katie was going to acknowledge the fact the Professor seemed awfully busy and offer to come back at a later, possibly better time, but she had told her to take a seat which meant waiting - which meant she probably should just do that rather than test the woman's patience seeing as it would look like they were already being pulled in several directions with the amount of students waiting for her attention.

Instead of suggesting she could come back, Katie nodded and went over to stand behind one of the chairs, preferring to stand.

Em had told the professor her name earlier, but she figured the professor had alot of new names to remeber. So Em just reminded her.Emmaleigh smiled at her new professor, "I'm Emmaleigh Swynford, and it w-was a pleasure to meet you." Emmaleigh could not wait to visit the animals. She missed home so much, and she just knew that being around the animals would help. "Is that all ma'am, or d-did you need to know a-anything else?" she asked.

Blink. She had heard that name before.
...yes she had. The girl had just told her.

See? This is what a crowd of students did to you -- it made you confused. Next thing would be Maya imagining the student's faces merged into eachother.


Or something like that.


And still, the child seemed nervous. "No." Maya raised an eyebrow. "I will see you soon, Miss Emmaleigh Swynford." Either at class...or making sure she did indeed take good care of the animals.

Now...where was that girl. With the carrying. Squint. Ah, there.
"Miss? What can I help you with?" They needed to carry visible name tags. Maya didn't like to be called 'Hey you' or 'You there', and she was pretty sure the students wouldn't appreciate that either.

Dianna was a bit startled at the woman. She looked like someone who shouldn't be messed with. And she bet she wasn't the type to be fooled around with either. Oh well, she wasn't that type of person anyway..

With a slight smile she waited as more students arrived.

"Thank you Ma'am" she said, "I'll go see to the animals right now." She said smiling.

She stood up and thought quickly.
"Not that your house is dirty or anything. It's beautiful, actually. It's very nice in here." she said happily, admiring the cute little hut. "They're just very helpful and it ties in with you being the Care of Magical Creatures Professor. I'm really looking foward to your class, I'm sure it'll be one of my favorites." she said politely with a nod, walked towards the door, and put her heels back on- outside this time.
"Thank you for having me!" she said nicely and walked back to the castle with a bubbly skip in her step.

"Oh nothing really.." Dianna said in a shy matter. "I just wanted you to know how I'm eager to attend you class!" Dianna exclaimed as she smiled widely. Was that a good expression or too much? More students where coming and it was best to get this over with. She cleared her throat before saying "Well it was nice meeting you, Professor..." Wahh! She didn't know her name! Uh-Oh.

Maya raised a hand as in a sort of wave, and watched the girl scadaddle off towards...the goats and rabbits, probably.

Yes yes. She'd check up on them later.

Explanations. It was amusing to hear her trying to make this situation better. Or, she was making things worse for herself -- Maya wasn't sure yet. But, it was still amusing.
Maya nodded back at the girl, watching her put on her shoes where she had left them. Sign. Right, it needed to be put up. "See you around. Don't get into trouble." Bah...ofcourse the girl would get into trouble.

Hm?
She was here for nothing? Maya found this a bit odd. What was the girl going to do - stare at the people passing by here?
Allright, Maya would keep an eye on her too.

An eager student. "I expect you to perform your best." And it better be her best. Maya didn't approve of lazyness.

Professor? "Maya Saylen." She said simply, crossing her arms on her chest. "And who might you be?" Hmmmmmmmmm?

Had she introduced herself before aswell? Well...she couldn't remember. But now that the girl stood infront of her, Maya wouldn't forget.

Dianna nodded her head.
"I will." she said.
"It was nice meeting you Professor Saylen." she replied with a smile.
"And I'm Dianna, Dianna Malfoy." Short name but meaningful enough.

"Dianna Malfoy. Slytherin." See, Slytherin was still easy to say. She nodded at the girl. "Well, if there was nothing else you needed help with... if you excuse me, I'm going to attend to the other students." And another nod, and a VERY small smile. It wasn't even a smile, more like a strech of her mouth.

Allright...next in line.
That girl. Bowing girl.
"Miss? Please come inside." ! "Take your shoes off first." Squint. "What can I help you with?"

Seeing he will be up soon he gives a whistle for his Owl and starts to remove his boots

They were... er... allowed to like, visit professors, right? They didn't have to come during specific office hours or anything silly like that?

With the honest intention of gaining permission to visit his abraxan from last term, Fletcher approached the new Care of Magical Creatures professor's office. Or hut. Whatever.

He walked up to the door, took a breath, and then politely knocked. There. Now he'd wait a few moments and then if she didn't show up, he'd just go find Cupcake on his own.

Ah-huh. Okay. "Alright Professor, see you in class!" Dianna said as she gave a small wave of her hand and left. That wasn't so bad she thought. Better than she thought it would be actually.

Allright. Time for owl-boy.
Maya looked at the boy pointedly, "You and your owl may step inside now." And it seemed he was removing his boots... good thing. "How can I help you?" Was this about the creature? Was it in trouble or something?

Impatient little girl, eh? Was that why she didn't sit, to jump at the opportunity to be attended? Hm. "Come inside. What can i help you with?" Take. Off. Your. Shoes. Squint.


Making sure the students did as they were asked, Maya turned towards a boy who had just arrived. And knocked. "Yes?" What did this one want?

walking into her house setting his boots just out side her door "Hola profesor Saylen, My name is Michael White and this is Bubba" holding up his arm with his owl on it. looking at the owl "Say hello to the profssor Bubba " to wich the owl hoots twice and nods his head several times "Bubba has a bit of a problem profossor ,We come from Atlanta Ga, and I have raised Bubba from an owlet.and He is not getting along in the owlrey,I think it is because he is an Barred owl and hunts during the morning and the outher owls think he should be doing his mail run and I am in Hufflepuff so he dont like being underground. So we were wondering if it would be ok If he set him self up near your Padock out back.We lived on a farm and I think he is going to like being around the cows,and sheep and stuff,I have allready told him that the Rabbits and and stuff arnt for eatting.I will also tell him to mind you " With a look a seriousness " now I was raised if some one do you a favor you do one in return, so I would be willing to feed your animals 3 time a week and and muck out the stalls twice a week" Hoping she dont ask cleaning 3 time a week and feeeding twice.

Well. Rude.

"Erm... Professsssor," Fletcher drawled and leaned against the door way, taking in the new teacher's exotic appearance with one raised eyebrow. "I had an abraxan here last term and I was wondering if she was still around? Like in the stables? So I could go visit her?"

Cuz even though Fletcher was a MAN and as such never thought of anything as cute or adorable, he did think Cupcake the baby abraxan had been pretty darn adorable.

Slipping her shoes off right outside the door before entering as she'd been told to, Katie folded her hands in front of her, the young badger glanced around at the rather colorful home as the woman spoke to another student. The inside was indeed just as unique as the outside, time would tell if that was a reflection of the Professor's personality or were style choices. "Sorry if I came at a bad time, Professor. I wasn't expecting so many other students to bombard you all at once." the fairly small fifth year said once she had the Professor's attention, introducing herself, "I'm Kaitlynnh Mae, by the way - or just Katie. I'm not sure if you know already, but last term our professor assigned us baby creatures to care for; I was just wondering, assuming they're still here and they didn't leave with her or anything, would it be all right if I went into the stables? I was assigned an Abraxan foal."

Smiling at the Professor, Lorelai came forward to speak to her. "Bristol. Miss Bristol. Lorelai Bristol, in fact. Or Prefect Bristol. You know.. take your pick?" Cautiously taking a leeetle step back, for she had seen how the woman had answered Treyen previously, Lori planned to run if this conversation turned ... ugly.

"I er... brought you some cookies? And chocolate. Just to say welcome ... on behalf of Hufflepuff house, really. Uh.. here you go." And with that, she held out one of the treat boxes with the painted badger on it, and prayed the woman took it kindly. And like.. didn't eat Lori for it.

Oh, Merlin.

Maya kept a close eye on the boy as he set his shoes outside. Good thing he hadn't taken them with him inside. She practically stared at him while he spoke, not changing her serious expression as she finally understood what the boy's blabbering was all about.
"How long have you been attending this school, Michael White?" Because that could help her decide. No, that WOULD make her decide.


Seeing the way the boy was conducting himself, made Maya tilt her head a little to the side. Okay, she would definitely keep an eye on this one.
"You were caring for an Abraxan, is that correct?" And if he was just like everyone else, she WAS correct in assuming this. "So what you are saying, is that you don't know where the creature you were supposed to take care of, is." Sure, she'd said this to eeeeeveryone who had asked her about the creatures from last term, but...it didn't bother Maya.

"And who, are you?" Really, hadn't anyone taught him to introduce themselves before blabbering on about a problem she didn't care about?

Oh - For the love of Cheesy Fajitas. How many times did Maya need to repeat herself?? Maya did NOT like to repeat herself! She crossed her arms, for what seemed like the gazillionth time in just...a half hour, and regarded the young girl. "Kaitlynnh Mae," Pause. "Yes. The creatures are right there where they were last term." Was that enough of an answer? Probably not. Needy children. "The rules are the same as last term." Translation: Go ahead and continue to take care of them - but she would be watching them all. Squint.

Whoa. She really liked to repeat her own name. Maya sighed, dropped her arms. "Hello Prefect Lorelai Bristol." See? No stuttering and no repeating. Yet.

And the young girl spoke again. Squint. Was she asking Maya about the cookies? Did she look like she cared to answer such questions? Treat boxes...full of chocolate and whatever else Lori had decided to cram in there. Interesting. With a careful hand and a the suspicious look Maya was giving the girl, she took the present. "Thankyou...Miss Bristol." Looking at the animal that was painted on, she raised an eyebrow. "What is this?"

Rawrrr was this professor an angry tiger or what? All Fletcher did was ask her an innocent question. Or two. Or three.

"Yeah...... I was caring for an abraxan," he repeated after her snidely. "I'm only asking cuz the other professor left, aiight? So I need to know what you did with my Cupcake."

Sheesh no need to show your claws already, Tiger. Heheh.

"Me? I'm Fletcher, just Fletcher." He leaned off the doorway and shoved his hands in his pockets. "Who are you?" Wasn't fair if he didn't get her name too. Tiger Princess.

Not breaking Eye contact with her.He could tell she took the welfare of the animals in her care very serious. "This is my first year professor "

The next professor to meet on her list was Professor Saylen. Roxxy wondered with slight bemusement if the professor remembered her from Diagon Alley. She had not intended to take the professor's desginated seat but it had happened.

With her lion broosh fastened to the front of her robes where it rawred every now and then Roxxy walked upto the cottage. She was about to enter through the open door when she noticed the number of people ahead of her. Hesitant on what to do, Roxxy remained on the doorstep. Should she wait or come back at another time?

"RAWR!" The sound that could be heard throughout the whole cottage and probably the grounds to came from the broosch at her chest. Turning blushingly red Rooxy mumbled "Sorry!".

It would seem the professor was just a little bit on the annoyed or weary side. Not that Katie couldn't see why that might be - she doubted anyone really expected to see a whole group of students waiting outside their door on the first day of work. Good news was Qausi was still at Hogwarts and she had permission to continue looking after the not-so-little Abraxan. "Okay. The rules are completely understood; Thank you, ma'am." Returning to her shoes, the Hufflepuff slipped them back on, fixing the backs over her heels one at a time. "I'm going to go visit the stables now," She pointed somewhere over her shoulder, not actually looking to see if she was gesturing in the right direction. "Thanks again, Professor. I hope you have a nice day," And with that, Katie turned and headed in the direction of the stables.
