......He remembered? O__o

WHY did he remember?! Daichi had hoped that the Professor didn't remember the little incident in the lake! But then again, why else would he be here? Because Daichi wasn't the one who just chit chatted with a professor. Actually now he thought about it, in his almost three years at school he had never visited a professor before.

The slytherin bit his lower lip nervously as he walked to the entrance of the office but he looked relieved for a second when he saw Kurumi at the door. Waaaah! He wanted to huuug her now for being here too cause it wasn't so scary with her. His feelings turned just as fast as they came when the Prefect walked away however....

Taking a deep breath to calm himself , Daichi now entered the hut and immediately looked around the place and his eyes landed on the Professor again before he lowered his gaze to the ground. "Uhm..that..that is actually w-why i'm here" he finally stuttered. He hated that he stuttered whenever he was nervous.

Williamson casually brushed past Daichi on his way to his desk, scooping up his crup in the process too, since the puppy was growling at the young Slytherin and all. Didn't want him attacking the child before he got a chance to say why he was here!

But after he said his piece, Willy might let the crup loose.

"That's why you're here?" Williamson echoed the boy. "That as in... what? You wanna punch me again?" He settled into his chair and propped his feet up on his desk, calmly raising his eyebrows at the boy.

This was fun, this.... messing with students thing. Heh.

Daichi instictively stepped aside as the Professor walked past him and watched curiously as he picked up...a dog? It looked like a puppy. He found it strange that the CoMC Professor had a normal muggle puppy until he saw the tail.

"Is that a crup, sir?" he asked as he pointed at the puppy but quickly jumped back when it started to growl at him. It wasn't dangerous right?

Daichi moved his some what...okay, really scared gaze from the growling crup to the Professor. Which didn't help him to ease, not after his comment. He looked dumbfounded at the man before he felt his cheeks blushing. Argh, another thing he hated when he was nervous!

"N-no! i mean... i came here to..to apologize about, you know..that" The Slytherin took a deep breath in an attempted to calm himself. But after that failed he decided to just say it. He had already thought about what to say when he had been outside the hut but it didn't go really as he had hoped it would...

"IWantedToApologizeToYouForPunchingYourArmInTheLak e.IActedCarelessAndWasn'tThinkingStraightBecauseI PanickedSoI'mSorry!"

breeeaathe Daichi...

He breathed out deeply before he looked from the ground to the professor with an even more nervous look.There, he had said it.

Ella walked into the office quietly, trying to calm her nerves. She had never really liked speaking to adults because she felt she didn't ever express what she wanted to say correctly. Plus, Professor Williamson remembered her story...He called it great! Wow! At least that was a good sign.

Ella looked up at the Professor smiling sheepishly. "T-thanks Professor, I w-worked really hard on my homework." OK, that wasn't so bad...now deep breath and... "I just really wanted to apologize for my behavior at the lake during class. I shouldn't have gotten upset like that." Ella looked down at her shoes, recalling how upset she had gotten. "I should have-should have realized you were just trying to teach us a valuable lesson..." She looked up at the Professor, hoping he wasn't too upset with her.

breeeaathe Daichi...

He breathed out deeply before he looked from the ground to the professor with an even more nervous look.There, he had said it.

"Yes, yes it is a cruppy. His name's Jack." Willy set the puppy on his lap, where the dog turned its attention from growling at Daichi to growling at the spider on William's shoulder. Bark! Bark!

He gave the boy a 'really?' look when he more or less accused Williamson of knowing exactly what he was thinking. Come on. The man was NOT a Legilimens.

Annnnnd then he spewed it all out in one breath. Heh. Even Jack stopped making noises to join in the staring at Daichi. "Er....." William had to bite his lip to keep from laughing at how nervous he was. "Would you like to have a seat and maybe try that again?"

Bless him for his nervousness, but Williamson hadn't really caught that. So....

....he turned to the other youngun in the room. Oh, hmm, another(?) apology?

"A lot of people got upset," he answered her quietly, rubbing Jack between his ears. Both grew quiet as Jack's tongue lolled out of his mouth. "It's... not surprising." He shrugged a bit, adding, "As long as you did learn something...."

Then he couldn't be fired for it, right?

Jack... "He's cute..." did he just really say that that barking growling thing was cute? Well, he was in a way especially now that the creature turned it's attention to the spider.

The look on the Professor's AND the cruppy's faces were funny though as they both stared at him after he was done talking. He loosened up a liiitle bit as he chuckled at the sight.

Just as he was about to say more, the girl next to him started speaking. He looked at his side and pouted his lips while puffing up his cheeks as he listened. That was a good apology! Why couldn't he do that?! He was envious of that girl now and when the Professor spoke again he turned to the front. Cheeks still puffed before he breathed out.

"Sit?" he asked as he realised that the Professor had been talking to him. Daichi gave one look at the girl before stepping forward. Maybe sitting would help him ease... it wasn't like the man had snapped at him or anything.

"I-i'm really sorry i'm wasting your time, sir" he said as he sat down in the chair infront of the desk. "It's just.. i'm really bad at, at apologizing" Heh he remembered that he had to apologize to Professor Bentley for blowing up the grounds..which had NOT been his fault for the record! Stupid Joao i-have-many-names made him! Anyway's it had taken almost half an hour before he could finally mumble an apology. siiiigh.

Okay, he should try again because he didn't want to be here that long.
"I'm...i'm sorry for punching your arm in the Lake, sir" Good begin.. "I don't know wh-why i did it though.. i guess i was scared when i saw my..dad. " he started to play with his fingers as he didn't make eye contact. Instead, he was looking at the side of the man's head, at the wall. "I don't punch people just like that , so i was actually suprised and confused i did it" he bit his lower lip. "The thought of loosing my dad too is just... it got me emotional i guess and i'm sorry."

that was the best he could do. And maybe the Professor should get an award for being the first person to get a punch from Daichi~

Jack WAS cute; problem was, he KNEW he was cute too. The dog tilted his head at Daichi and seemed to smile, even as his tongue dripped a bit of drool onto Williamson's slacks.

The professor didn't seem to notice as he continued petting his cruppy and focusing on the students. "Sit, yes, I don't bite." Jack did though. Heh. Willy figured that mentioning that wouldn't really help the boy with his nervousness though.

"You're not wasting my time at all," he shook his head. He could be taking a nap, sure, but students usually came first. He listened to Daichi explain his reasons for freaking out and nodded slowly, starting to understand. "I see, I see," he mused, letting a brief silence fall as he contemplated how to answer.

"I suppose," Williamson started after about a minute, "that if I were in the same situation," though perhaps not with his father; had it been Cecelia or Oliver or Waylon or even, Merlin forbid, his sister, "I would have done the same thing. Or something worse." He smiled at Daichi and let Jack hop off his lap as he removed his feet from the desk.

Willy busied himself with making some tea and setting out cups. "I hope it wasn't too traumatizing for you, though, in the end? Your professors would never intentionally do something that would place you, your family, or your peers in real danger," he continued as he poured out the tea. "You know that, right?"

Ella smiled at the small puppy. "He's adorable Professor. I have a puppy at home too, her name is Harlee." She thought about what she had learned in the lesson. Had she learned anything? "Professor, I guess I learned that we shouldn't take our liberties for granted. Like seeing my family and friends safe on dry land. I guess the beings in the lake didn't really get a choice in the matter..." She looked up at the Professor, wondering if she was making any sense. "I'm sorry again though, I didn't want to be one of those students you groaned when you spotted me in a classroom-err-not that you do that to any students..." She was messing up her words again. "What I mean to say is that I'll be more open to the lessons you're trying to teach before giving any kind of reaction to them."

For the first time in the office, Daichi laughed as he looked at Jack. The cruppy was just too adorable~! The third year tilted his head to the side too as he looked at the animal doing the same and he giggled. "He's super adorable~!" Daichi ALMOST squealed..okay he squealed. He was a squealer according to Thea but he denies it "How old is he , sir?" he asked as he looked back up.

His uneasiness faded away and the Slytherin sank a little bit deeper in the chair, getting more comfortable than sitting upright in tension. But his mouth dropped a little bit when the Professor smiled!

Shaking his thoughts, Daichi watched as Jack hopped down back on the ground and...was the Professor making tea?! Okay so first he smiled...and now he's making tea. "And here i thought he was a scary mean person..." he thought accidentally out loud but hadn't realised himself.

Intentionally..hehe. ''Yes sir, of course i know...now atleast" He thought about the other question if he had been traumatized? "No i wasn't" he shook his head. "Actually sir, it was a pretty cool and interesting lesson now i think back to it" He gave a small shy smile as he looked at the tea the Professor was pouring . '' But i'm not going to do it again!" Nuhuh! If Scabior and Williamson ever decided to do a lesson together simular to this one... he was so out.

Willy chuckled at the puppy, who was sneaking around the desk to make his way over to the girl, tail wagging already. "Cute. Is she a cruppy too?" He had a feeling the answer to that was.... no. But not everyone was cool enough to get a crup license. Soooo.

"Good." He nodded seriously at her answer and cracked a grin, passing her a cup of tea too. "Haha I don't do that for anyone, actually, so you're safe." He smiled and sipped his own tea. "Quick question though... why didn't your homework story have a happy ending? I was rather perturbed by its abruptness...."

And yes, Willy liked stories. Especially original ones, like hers.

Okay Willy just HAD to laugh at that awkward squeak coming out of the little Slytherin's mouth. "He's about three months," he answered, smiling and nodding as the crup divided its attention between drooling on the girl's shoes and staring inquisitively at the boy's face.

Heh. "You thought I was scary and mean?" he almost snorted tea out of his nose at that one. "You're all right, kid, you're all right...." Hehehehhh. "No, you've really only got two scary and mean professors to watch out for here, and neither of them is me."

No. It was the other former Slytherins Daichi had to fear. Lafay and Scabior, anyone?

"You liked it?!" Pretty cool and interesting? That was like receiving an O in William's book! AWESOME! "Well thanks, Daichi.... so long as you keep attending my lessons and praising them like that, I promise not to feed you to the Giant Squid!"

Not this term anyway!

Ella bent down to pet the puppy, laughing as it licked her fingers. "No, Professor. Mine is a dog-German Shepard/Pit Bull mix. She's quite cute too!" She smiled up at the Professor, thinking of her own adorable pet.

Ella took the tea, thankful for it because she was parched after all that worrying. She thought hard about the Professor's next question, unsure of how to answer that. "Well, I guess it's not a happy ending because-well I wasn't feeling so happy when I wrote it. My feelings tend to come out in the stories that I write and I-I was missing my family at the time. I guess I feel a bit like the character in my story sometimes... I love Hogwarts but I'm here for quite some time and I can't see my them. It gets a bit-hard to take." Then, with a grin, she had an idea. "Professor, maybe I could try and continue the story and then owl it to you?"

Daichi was completely unaware he was basically getting laughed at. His eyes still looked at the cruppy as he walked around and finally decided to drool on the Hufflepuff's shoes. hehe. "That's not old" he answered , still watching the crup. "I have an owl but he acts really strange nowadays..." The Slytherin sighed at the thought. "He's old though.."

Daichi's mouth dropped open for the nth time. "How...how did you know i-i was thinking that?" O___o "Can you read MINDS ,sir? Woooh that's so cool!" Yep he was getting back to his personal self again. He had to laugh again when the Professor snorted out his tea though.

"I think i know who you are talking about, Professor." he nodded his head in understanding before a slight grin tucked on his lips. "But, honestly sir. My head of house is not THAT scary... She's normal to me atleast" he said and shrugged his shoulders. He remembered he had gotten a thank you from her in his first year for help winning the quidditch cup and in his second year she actually helped him by giving advice in class. It had been a bit snappy but still...it had helped. "I think it's because i don't blow up my cauldrons in class"As for the other...he'd rather not talk about him hehe.

"eh..yeah..." Daichi had jumped in his chair a little when the man's voice had suddenly rose up. "I mean, it was a bit cruel..but interesting..." he said awkwardly as he scratched the back of his none-itchy head. "And i realized that, even though i'm mad at my dad right now he is still the one closest to my heart....wow that was cheezy"


O____________O "FEEDING ME TO THE SQUID?!" Daichi pouted as he wrapped his arms over each other. "okay i'll come to the next lessons ...i don't wanna end up as squid dinner" he shivered.

German shephard-pit bull mix?! That sure didn't sound like a cute dog. Sounded more terrifying than anything, but all right. Williamson just nodded and moved on to the next topic instead.

"Ah that's understandable," he sympathized. He could remember back when he had been at Hogwarts. "Sure!" William sat up in his seat a bit. "I'd like that, and I'm sure Professor Scabior would too."

O____________O "FEEDING ME TO THE SQUID?!" Daichi pouted as he wrapped his arms over each other. "okay i'll come to the next lessons ...i don't wanna end up as squid dinner" he shivered.

"Is your owl okay?" William inquired with a concerned expression. "If you want to, you know, you could bring him down here for me to look at." He wouldn't have a problem with that.

He just laaaaaaaughed at Daichi's wondering if he could read minds. He didn't even need to answer, although he did hold a finger up to his lips in a 'shhhh.... secret' manner. Let that one get around the school. Heh.

"Yeah she's not scary to YOU," he muttered under his breath, shaking his head. No matter. "As long as you're learning, as long as you're learning." Williamson nodded understandingly and smirked, leaning baaaaack in his chair at his reaction to the joke.

"Only kidding, kid, only kidding." Wink. "Next lesson will be in the barn, anyway, since it's getting colder out...."

Ella smiled, happy he had liked her idea. She wasn't so sure Professor Scabior would like it though. He seemed...well, not to like things in general. She didn't dare mention that though. "Okay then, I'll get to work on it and send you the rest as soon as I'm finished!" She looked down, petting the small puppy once more before deciding that she'd better head back to the castle. "Professor, thanks for understanding my-well my reaction in class! I'm quite looking forward to the next one now!" It was true, after talking to Professor Williamson, Ella could do nothing but look forward to class. She stood, holding out her hand with a small smile to shake the Professor's. "I should get back to the castle but thanks for your time." She then smiled at the boy who had come in with her and waved at him. "See you later then!"

Daichi waved a hand at the Professor's suggestion to take a look at his owl. ''He's not sick or anything...just...he started to attack me since a few months ago'' the Slytherin sighed once as his eyes looked at the photo's on the shelving unit and then came back to the Professor as though he was trying to see if the boy in the pictures was him... he did look like him... ''I bought SuSu, that's his name, in DA two years ago .... the shopkeeper said no one wanted him and..i guess i felt sad for the owl. So i bought him'' he smiled brightly.

Raising a perfect eyebrow, Daichi watched as the Professor started to laugh. What had he done? Had he said something? whaaat?! His other eyebrow came up too when he saw the finger in a shh motion and he gasped softly. Still with his eyes wide, Daichi believed that the man could read minds or is a ...what's it called? that difficult word..legi..legil thingy. He held both hands around his own mouth and nodded frantically. He would keep this secret! ....but for how long?

Just kidding?! "that was not funny'' Daichi muttered under his breath and tried to give a glare to the man. Which failed and the glare turned in to a pout. ''Well, i guess the barn is much safer than the lake...'' Unless there was a dragon in it?

Hearing a couple of knocking sounds on the door outside, Daichi turned to look. ''I think i should go right?'' he asked as he motioned to the closed door.

"Okay great! Can't wait to read it." Williamson smiled and waved off her thanks. "No problem. It was nice talking to you." He reaced across the desk and shook her hand too. "See you later, Ella."

Hearing a couple of knocking sounds on the door outside, Daichi turned to look. ''I think i should go right?'' he asked as he motioned to the closed door.

"So.... maybe SuSu's just a grumpy old owl?" He frowned. What was with all of Hogwarts having ornery pets? First Kurumi, now Daichi.... "He shouldn't attack you though. Try to give him some owl treats or something... show him that you still care for him." Just an idea.

Hahaha! The kids' reaction to their little 'secret' was even better. Willy winked and ignored his little pouty look. Heh. "Yes, the barn is much safer. A lot of gentler, more cuddly creatures in there." He had a feeling a lot of the younger students were going to love his next lesson.

Anyway, the knocking was getting progressively louder. That, or more people were just knocking on it now. "Up to you," he shrugged, "but I've got to go let them in before they bang down my door either way. Thanks for stopping by, Daichi!"

He got up from his desk and moved to the door, ruffling the Slytherin's hair as he passed by. Kid was all right, even if he did try to punch him.

Isabelle followed Professor Smexyness...or maybe she should call him Professor Williamson so she didn't accidently call him that. She regarded the bug that was on his shoulder. "Ummm Professor," she asked. "You know you have a spider bug thingy on your shoulder right?" If there was one type of magical creature Izzy didn't like it would be gross bugs and spiders. They just weren't that appealing to her.

Then she remembered one of her reasons for being here. Well at least the more reasonable reason rather than introducing herself to the attractive professor. "So I have a question about crups," Izzy said. "Do they require a lot of attention and care? Because me and my friend are going to be roommates in an apartment when we leave school, and we both want a crup. But, I plan to be working or learning healing stuff at St. Mungos. And she is being crazy and going to Wizarding University to be a teacher. So we may not be at home all the time." Please say that it didn't require a lot of care because they wanted a crup so badly. Izzy had to swear to Ree that she would go to the COMC teacher and write back as soon as possible.

Alyssa walked into Professor Williamson's hut. "Thank you for seeing me, Professor. I know that you are very busy man, so I'll make my visit here a short one. I was in the Magical Creatures Sanctuary feeding the Jobberknolls when I saw that they had shed some of their feathers. I was wondering whether you have any use for them?"Alyssa asked the Professor showing him the feathers.

"Oh, this little guy?" Willy glanced over at the spider on his shoulder. "Yeah! He's a blast-faced skrewbeetle." He nodded emphatically. "Practically harmless."

He flicked one of the spider/beetle's poisonous tentacles away from his cheek with a grin.

"So you think you want a crup. Well, how bout I let one speak for himself?" Willy snapped his fingers at Jack, who had been resting his chin on his paws ever since Arya left. The cruppy leaped up with a happy tail wag, taking the signal from his master as an invitation to sniff all around the feet of the new girl and then plop his bum down on her right foot.

Jack looked up at her with a tilted head and a drooly tongue. Attentionattentionattention? Pleasepleaseplease?

I was wondering whether you have any use for them?"Alyssa asked the Professor showing him the feathers.

Just as Willy sat down in his desk, there was Alyssa with some Jobberknoll feathers. Willy's eyebrows went up as he picked one up and examined it closely.

"They weren't making any... noise at the time, were they?" he asked cautiously, tickling his cheek with the end of the feather.

Eddie had up til the point of William emerging from his hut been oblivious to the student's waiting around to see the COMC dude. Taking his time to head in last, his face still white as a ghost he waited until William stopped talking to mumble out "Good day William. I'd like a word in private. Do cast a muffilato spell on the studen'ts if you please." It was William's turf so Eddie wasn't going to perform any magic by himself, since he wasn't rude. "I need advice and I prefer to get it in private and not have to read about it tomorrow in a new gossip article." The last he said with a slightly irritated tone. Eddie was if anything not amused by reading about himself even if he might have himself to blame for being a feature in it. Going over to the plush couch he slumped down on it and rested his head in his hands waiting for William to talk to the student's first.

Hehe grumpy old owl. "He is old , sir.. and i'll give him some extra owl treats but, won't he get fat?" It wasn't like he never gave his owl a treat.

Seeing the wink, Daichi was certain that he had a secret to keep now. He hoped he could keep it though, how many times do you know someone that can read minds?! So this was super cool! ...and kind of creepy.

He jumped out of his thoughts when another loud knock at the door send him back to earth. There had to be something very important for who-ever it was to keep knocking like that... or the Professor was just popular with the students. eh.

He turned back around just as the Professor had stood up and....did he just ruffle his hair?! WHY do people ALWAYS ruffle his hair?! You know how annoying it is to style it every day..geez.. Daichi used his hands to restyle his blonde hair as it stuck out in every direction now.

Standing up from the chair, Daichi bowed before he walked to the door. "Thanks for not taking points from Slytherin sir" or worse...he said and looked as Professor Roslund stood at the doorway. He didn't look happy, Daichi wondered what had happened but.. that wasn't his business. "Hello Professor Roslund!". The Slytherin turned back to face Williamson. "I promise i won't punch you again, sir... next time, i'll give you a kick~" he joked and chuckled. "I'll see you in the next class, bye Professor!" he bowed one last time , waved his hand then quickly said a bye to the Astronomy Professor and left the hut.

Isabelle stared at the blast something or other bug. It was really gross and scary looking. "Well that's good that you are aware," Izzy said trying to keep the look if disgust off of her face. She didn't want that handsome Professor to be getting poisoned any time soon.

Isabelle smiled as she saw the little cruppy come up to her. "Adorable," she cooed as she leaned down to pet the precious little thing. She held out her hand for the cruppy to like it while she petted the adorable thing. Wasn't this just so awesome, Professor Smexyness had an adorable little cruppy which would just be giving her an excuse to come an visit him more often. She looked back up at the professor and asked, "What's his name?"

Hmm well that was... that was different. Will may not have known Ed that well, but he sure wasn't acting like his usual friendly self. Heck, if he didn't now better, he might even say the man looked... depressed.

And what was with the references to gossip rags? Right. Well Willy would respect his wishes. "I'll just take care of these two," he gestured toward Alyssa and Isabelle, "and then you can have my full, undivided attention, Ed." He smiled kindly and turned back to the kids.

"Nahhhhhh," Will chuckled a bit. "I've never seen a fat owl. Besides, if you use him to send plenty of letters, he'll get his exercise."

Heh. "Of course." Will HATED to take points in the first place, much less from his old House. "Haaaa, thanks kid. See you around!" He smiled again at the boy and then focused on Isabelle.

Speaking of the spider.... it was probably about time Willy put him back in his jar. He gently coaxed the blast-faced skrewbeetle off his upper arm and back into the jar, turning around and yanking a few leaves off his little bamboo plant behind him to drop in the jar too. There. That should hold off his appetite til Will could release him into the forest.

Watching as Jack licked Isabelle to death, William let out a little puff of air and thought. "His name's Jackson Patches Williamson," he answered first, scratching at his chin. "And if both you and your roommate are going to be busy studying and learning and building your professional careers.... I would wait to get a crup. They ARE magical creatures and DO need more care and attention than, say, a goldfish."

But. "But you could always get a different creature. Like a fish or a spider or a snake or, even, a kneazle." Kneazles were pretty good at taking care of themselves. "I have some strays out in the barn if you wanna take a look at them later."

"No thank goodness they weren't, Professor. I know what that means if they did and I would definitely come and tell you. Have you heard them though Professor? I think that if I did, I would surely cry." Alyssa told him.

"There was another thing I wanted to ask you, Professor. I know that earlier in the term when I asked you whether we could work with the Hippogriffs, you said that we should stay away from them for now. Have you changed your mind? The reason I'm asking is because I would really love to check on them especially the one that I made friends with last year. He was kind of the loner of the herd and it seemed that the herd shunned away from him. I just want to make sure that he's okay. I promise to be careful..Alyssa asked the Professor hoping that he would reconsider.

"Good, good." William breathed a small sigh of relief and scooped the feathers up into his hand, bundling them up and tucking them away in a file on the shelf behind his desk. "I haven't heard these ones, but others, yes." He frowned. "It's worse than a phoenix's rebirthday."

And she had an ulterior motive for coming, did she? Williamson steepled his fingers together and blinked across the desk at Alyssa. Hmm... "Well Alyssa, I hate to say no, but I'm going to have to. I've noticed some different... things going on outside the Sanctuary and I'm rather concerned about the hippogriffs, threstrals, and other animals that roam near or in the forest, to be honest. Tell you what we'll do: after our next Care of Magical Creatures lesson, I'll take you and whoever else wants to go out to see the hippogriffs you all worked with last term, as long as we can find them. How's that sound?"

He smiled pleasantly, hoping she'd accept this deal. There was just no way he was letting a student go into or even near the forest alone now, not with that thestral that had been hanging out near the gate and all.
