A strong iron gate with two giant statues of winged boars on either side, is the main entrance in and out of Hogwarts Grounds. Through out the school year, the Front Gate remains closed at all times with the use of powerful enchantments and is only opened when the trips to Hogsmeade are. Faculty members are the only ones who can undo the enchantments and open the gate to prevent the students from sneaking out.

"Oh well" he said while shrugging his shoulders.
He finally made it to the actual gate, he didn't know if he was allowed to touch it or not.. Looking up… and up…man this gate is huge! Bay let out a whistle.
Having made her way down the long winding lane from Hogsmeade, Tiara stopped short about twenty yards in front of the Hogwarts gates. In all the time she had been walking to work from home, she had never come across a student at the gates. What were they up to? Were they perhaps trying to get out, or were they trying to figure out how to let someone in? This thought likely would not have even crossed her mind if Anastasia's hadn't mentioned patrolling the corridors and grounds for security reasons at the beginning of term staff meeting.
Tiara simply stared at the young man. And even if he made eye contact, she would just keep staring, daring him to blink and betray his motives.

Bay moved his eyes from the top of the gate to the bottom of the gate. looking out through the bars Bay saw… what looked like a Professor.. it must of been because who else would be walking up to the gates. Wait a minute… they were staring at him… Bay looked back and kind of did an awkward wave. "Hello?" he called out?

Still staring, still assessing, she realized the figure was waving at her. And the voice.. it sounded like a student, definitely not deep enough to be a professor. Still staring, still staring. But certainly if they were up to no good they would have avoided eye contact, speaking, or waving? she thought to herself. In which case I need to come up with a good excuse for why I'm staring down one of our students.
And really, there could only be one plausible explanation.
STAAAAAARE.
Yes, unidentifiable student. You unwittingly entered into a staring contest with someone whose job it is to keep their eyes open at all times, even with high wind in their face. Good. Luck.

Bay couldn't figure what was happening.. was this actually a professor or a stranger? he called out again "Hhhheelllooooo?" maybe yelling louder would help.. Maybe he should go tell someone that an adult was hanging around on the other side of the front gate.. Should he leave or stay??? Bay turned around but looked back to see the person still standing there...

She took several steps forward before he repeated himself, and yes, she still maintained eye contact the whole time and didn't blink. Oh yes, THAT'S what he had said. She was glad she could finally tell. I need to clear out my ears, I guess.
Meanwhile, she was still staaaaaaring.
And now she was close enough to be able to see him. "Hello, young man." She recognized him, but what was his name..? "Don't mind me, just a friendly little staring contest." Through the gate... not weird at all. And yes, she was going to win it.

Bay watched as this person took a step forward.. ohh no should he run or stay… but he heard a voice… and it sounded familiar. Bay listened before he talked "is that you Professor Tyner??" he hoped so if this person answered differently he would defiantly be running away..
a big gust of wind came his way and his light jacket flapped in its breeze, he grabbed its flaps and buttoned them quickly.. the chill going to his bone.

Apparently she hadn't been the only one struggling to make out the identity of the figure on the other side of the gate. "Indeed it is. And with whom am I having this staring contest, might I ask?"
She had still been walking towards the gate this whole time, and now she was finally there. The flying instructor continued her eye contact, but the wind was starting to make her eyes water. Fumbling in her robes, she managed to locate her wand without being able to look at it. It was time to open up this gate.

STARING CONTEST??
is that what they were having, okay… Bay tried his hardest not to blink, but with the wind his eyes immediately started to tear up. "Ermm… Victor Bay, Miss.. I'm in Gryffindor" he said while still keeping the eye contact…
"are you going to come into the grounds?" he asked for he was curious on how the whole thing went down and he defiantly wanted to watch it happen.

It appeared the youngster might have finally cottoned on to their desperate struggle for their sou-- erm, their staring contest. "It is truly a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Mister Bay. And your Lions are off to a splendid start this term in the House Cup race, might I add. I hope you are doing your best to help them along?" She gave him a semi-stern look, making a note to speak with Seren about him when she got the first chance. Just in case he really WAS up to something out here all alone so early in the morning.
Still not blinking, she nodded her head in the affirmative to his query. She tapped her wand several times in various places on the gates, thinking the necessary incantations. Tiara certainly wasn't planning on giving away the secret to a student. Goodness, my eyes are beginning to sting slightly. Time to end this contest with a victory! To perform the final long wand wave necessary for entrance to the grounds, she slashed her wand through the air at top speed right in front of the Gryffindor's face. If that plus the wind didn't make him blink, she wasn't sure what would.

Bay smiled while with wide eyes… "errrrr thank you Professor" he said and then quickly added "I sure am" nodding towards her.. it sounded like Bay was going to get into trouble… he hoped not he was just walking around the school trying to learn his way around.
YESSS… this was happening Bay watched as she started… the wind was crazy…right… he didn't want to blink because he didn't want to miss anything, but he had too… *Blink* ohh man he lost this so called staring contest but on the bright side this was so cool. "Wow" he said out loud, while stepping back, he didn't know if the gates opened out or in and he didn't want to get into the way.

She nodded in acknowledgement of his thanks, confused as they may be. "Excellent. Gryffindor needs more involvement from its students if they want to dethrone the defending champions." So did her own House, Ravenclaw.
"Aha!" she said as the gates creeeaaaked open. "You blinked, Mr. Bay, which makes me the victor," she said unnecessarily, stepping smartly onto the grounds. "No hard feelings, I trust?" And now that she had one small victory in her pocket already for the day.. "And what, may I ask, are you doing out here, all alone, so far away from the castle, and so early in the morning?" She raised her right eyebrow as the creeeaaak of the gates sounded behind her, closing them both safely into the grounds.

"It sure does Professor" he said smiling… oh right he blinked. "your a very good starer Professor" Bay had no idea what else to say but it made him sound so very dumb… *cough* oh well.. "None at all" he shook his head, of course not he didn't even know they were having a staring contest until she had told him they were.
uhhhhh ohhhhhh was he in trouble, he hoped not. "I was just walking around Mam'" he said while smiling. "This is my first year here at Hogwarts… I'm a transfer student and I wanted to walk around the grounds to let everything sink in that I'm finally here" he said all too happily.
"im also a morning person, I like to go for walks to start my day" he added for that was the reason why he was up so early. "were……were you in Hogsmead?" yeah thats what the place was called right. he hasn't been there before himself but he has heard of it from his parents.

It was truly an odd compliment, that one. "Borne from years of officiating in the wind, no doubt." She nodded. "But you're a good sport, Mr. Bay. I applaud you for your fighting spirit."
Just walking around.. at this hour? That is certainly brave in a way, I suppose. "Ah, that explains why I don't recognize you. Well in that case, welcome to Hogwarts! I'm impressed that exploration and learning about your surroundings is such a high priority for you." The quest for knowledge - that was a Ravenclaw trait, and one she admired mightily. Plus he was concerned with his physical well-being if he got up to take walks every morning. "Take a few well-earned points for your pursuit, attention to physical fitnes, and for being a good sport." Those were all things she personally found important. The Ravenclaw imagined 3 rubies falling into the Gryffindor hourglass at that very moment.
Tiara, you're getting more and more generous the older you get, but especially this year.
"Wha-- oh, yes, I was. My home is there, in fact." Not that she would say specifically where. Students would be students, after all. "I, too, prefer a brisk walk in the mornings. Unless, of course, the weather is far too horrid, in which case I Floo in." And speaking of work, she should probably be on her way again soon.

"Thanks" Bay mumbled out… she was starting to be not so scary any more. She actually seemed nice, He gave her a smile.
"Oh next week is dungeon areas… I've heard so much about them, I'm just so curious to see" he said almost beaming, replying to her statement of why she hasn't seen him before.. "Im surprised you haven't met me before Professor… I tried out for the Gryffindor Quidditch team and well I made it" he said happily. "so you will be seeing a lot more of me" instantly he hoped that it didn't come off as creepy.
POINTS??? WHAA------
Bay never thought he would just get random points for walking… hmmm he should do that more often then.
"Th--Thank you Professor" another big smile.
Oh she lives down there. "Oh I can't wait to explore when we have our leave to go to town, i heard the sweets down there are amazing" he said, and thought that she must walk a lot from her home to Hogwarts.. wow, she will defiantly beat him in a race if they tried. "Oh cool" the Floo Nextwork, she just kept surprising him.
"Okay.. would it be okay if I walked with you to the castle?" he asked hoping it was.

"Okay.. would it be okay if I walked with you to the castle?" he asked hoping it was.
So he had a schedule for his explorations? That was.. unique. "Well if you want to explore the dungeons, the school spirit pep rally is going to be taking place down there. That's a good time to see them looking festive." Different than normal, but perhaps in a good way.
She scratched her head. "Yes I remember seeing you flying, I believe. But we had not officially met before now." But he was right, she probably would be seeing much more of him in the future. Her office overlooked the pitch, after all.
"You're welcome," she said, slightly amused. Would he remain that enthusiastic about a few points for his whole career at Hogwarts? If so, then Gryffindor really would be a serious contender for the Cup.
Tiara nodded. "Hogsmeade does have its charms. Personally I tend to avoid the sweets shop, but I have heard it has a delectable selection." But she was far too old for such trifles. "Of course you may walk with me, but I am not going to the castle. I plan to walk around it on my way to the pitch."

oh yeah the school pep rally thing.. "I prefer to ermmm explore by myself.." Bay didn't like crowds… Maybe he should mention it to her…. "I don't really like…crowds" he said with a laugh.
"I can't wait for our first match" he said excitedly.. flying was always fun.. "what position did you play when you played Quidditch? you played right?" he wasn't sure if the professor played when she was ughhhh younger?
"Why would you want to stay away from the sweets Miss?? i only get health food at home so any chance i can get i'll take" laughing some more..
"Well errrr maybe before we go we can stay here for a bit…" he asked for most of the castle should still be sleeping or just about to wake up.. "I'd like to learn more about this gate here" more excitement.
These two were the words that woke Cosgrach up, or was it he woke up thinking them? He couldn't remember, nor could he remember the dream he ahd been having in the night, but after breakfast and a few small chores, his feet brought him to the front door, and his eyes commanded his brain to stare at the door.
Did any of the students dream of running out of the school?

Lex was beginning to think she was getting too old for this, seriously. One day she would get fed up enough and cast an immobilizing spell at her kneazle but for now, no, she would just chase him and hope he didn't get himself or her in too much trouble, like the time he ran into Ivy Knox. Wasn't that a day and a half. Bloody woman wand handling her kneazle.
Lex realized he was headed to the gate and briefly considered his chances of getting through it. There were charms afterall but they were in place for the students, no? Could he fetch her something if he was out??
No time to think like that, she had a kneazle to catch.
Just when she thought she had him he sprinted forward again, running up the leg of a man and making his way up to his shoulder. "Look out!" Possibly yelled too late but really...she was telling Felix to look out. For all she knew, the man--looked like a Professor...looked like Collarbin actually--could be a wand handler like Knox.

Cosgrach couldn't remember if he had heard the phrase in a muggle song, actually. He didn't even know since when he had been listening to muggle songs, but he wasn't worried by that part. The feeling that something was right at the tip of his tongue but not really made him--
WHAT WAS THAT WAS HE BEING ATTACKED WHAT EVEN WHAT--
"WHAA! WHAAAAA!" was all he could say, missing the warning completely, as he FLAILED and SCREAMT and jumped, bent forward and shook his body violently and tried to CLUTCH the ATTACKER, his hands paw-like. He could FEEL the NEEDLES through the fabric of his clothes and he pulled at the SOFT FURRY HORRIBLE THING with all his might to hurl it away.
And all this happened in only three seconds or so.

HE DIDN'T WANT TO DIE!
Before Alexa could hurry over (aching joints and all) she saw the Professor begin to flail about and heard the hissing and screeching of her baby. For a few seconds she just stood there, watching unsure what to do...because this had never happened before, not with a teacher at least. What really prompted her to jump into action was the way Collarbin was trying to HURL her kneazle who wasn't too keen on letting go. That would only make it worse--
O_O
HOLY KNEAZLE!!!
What did he think he was doing with her kneazle exactly?!?!?!?! What if he HURT him??? "Stop stop!!" Lex called, hurrying as fast as she could and coming to a stop before the two. "Stoooooooop, you're hurting him!!" It wasn't clear whether she was yelling at the Professor or the kneazle but the stop was still meant.
The Gryffindor reached forward and gave one hard YANK that finally dislodged Felix who only wiggled and squirmed.
After she'd gotten him secured in her arms, she stroked his fur trying to calm him some. CLEARLY the man had scared him. Poor thing. Probably saw its life flashing before its eyes. He was getting snuggles, even before she could check on the Professor but once that little nuzzle fest was over she glanced up at the man. "I am sooooooooooooooo sorry Sir. Are you alright?" Thanks for asking if you hurt her kneazle by the way. Rude.

The fact that someone was THERE and had WITNESSED the whole scene fully registered with Cosgrach only after the third 'STOOOOP' and he did that only for a second or two--not because it was a conscious decision, but because he was still too EVERY SYNONIM OF 'FRIGHTENED' to think on his own to rule out the command,. He stopped bent forward, and that let the owner of the thing to dislodge the thing AT LAST, leaving Cosgrach panting and with an aching body.
The aftermath of an adrenaline rush. Only, his body shook at its most violent, and he had to kneel down, ignore the mud that was going to adorn his robes, bury his face in his hands and try to catch his breath.
After a few seconds' of silence, he thought maybe his attacker had left, but in reality he was expecting a ruthless face with a wand drawn right in the middle of his eyebrows. He didn't know WHO he had offended that much--the Ukranians couldn't come here, could ther?!--but he obviously had some terrible, malicious--
...a teenage girl's voice asking him if he was hurt. He slowly lifted his head to stare at her in confusion--
"Alexa Cambridge!" he roared in ULTIMATE anger as he sprang to his feet. His body was still SHAKING, but it was out of WRATH this time.
"Ten--seconds--explain!" Had some spit landed on her? GOOD. THAT WAS JUST THE BEGINNING!

"I can't wait for our first match" he said excitedly.. flying was always fun.. "what position did you play when you played Quidditch? you played right?" he wasn't sure if the professor played when she was ughhhh younger?
"Why would you want to stay away from the sweets Miss?? i only get health food at home so any chance i can get i'll take" laughing some more..
"Well errrr maybe before we go we can stay here for a bit…" he asked for most of the castle should still be sleeping or just about to wake up.. "I'd like to learn more about this gate here" more excitement.
So he didn't like crowds? I wonder how he handles the Gryffindor common room, then. From what she'd heard, it could tend to be quite crowded and quite boisterous. Tiara decided not to comment in case it was a sensitive subject for him.
She chuckled. "Unfortunately you will have to wait a bit longer. Gryffindor is not playing until the second match this term." It was the Eagles and Snakes squaring off first this year. "Myself? Chaser." And a very good one at that. "Though I pursued officiating instead of playing for my career."
Tiara grimaced slightly. "Once you reach a certain age, you acquire different tastes, Mister Bay." She did NOT enjoy having to place herself in that category, thank you very much. She had just found three new gray hairs this morning. Feeling a sudden need to stay young and fit exercise, she began a brisk walk up to the castle.
"I'm afraid I cannot help you out there, Victor. I know no more of the history of these gates than you do, I would imagine." Meaning she had no knowledge about them other than what she could surmise based upon her own observations. "Now, if you wanted a history of Quidditch, that would be more within my capabilities. However," she said, looking down at her watch, "the time for that would not be now. I have an appointment with the Headmistress to keep in fifteen minutes' time and one does not keep her waiting." Ever. Period.

"Ten--seconds--explain!" Had some spit landed on her? GOOD. THAT WAS JUST THE BEGINNING!
The Professor was seriously starting to freak her out. The moment he'd been free of Felix's claws he sunk to the floor and looked like he might have been having some sort of nervous breakdown. Merlin she hoped not. Couldn't he wait until she was gone? She didn't wanna have to stand here and watch him pull himself together. At his age he should have had his act together by now. Lex blinked and stared and waited for him to confirm that he was in fact alright and she wasn't about to land herself a detention.
Perhaps the only expression more unremorseful than her own was that of her kneazle who'd lost interest in the man and was now curling up in his Mistress' arms. It must have been quite the ideal for him.
He was lifting his head and she was offering a supportive smile that quickly disappeared as the man hopped up yelling her name like she'd set his office on fire or something.
Sweet Circe! How ruuuuuuuuuuude. Don't go yelling at her because you're afraid of a little kneazle. Not her fault. Nope. Lex blinked up at the man in all his fury-- EEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW, was that spit? Yes, yes it was and the girl couldn't help but make a face as she rushed to get it wiped with her sleeve. Ew. Ew. Ew. In all her years of being yelled at, the others had always kept their saliva to themself. Did NO ONE clue him in on the 'How to scold a Cambridge' handbook?? Her cheek was not about this life. Eeewwww. The girl was so preoccupied with this that she must have wasted half of her ten seconds by now. UUUUUUGGGGGHHH.
"Kneazle. Running away. Happens all the time. Freedom. Grounds. Other people's pets. You. Screeeeeech. Hiss. Flail. Fall. Yell. Spit." Done with a whole second to spare. That took SKILLS.

Well?
WELL?
Was she going to SPEAK?!
Cosgrach kept GLARING, arms now folded, and tapped his foot impatiently, though it made no noise because it was soil. He couldn't even make the impression he'd wanted. HMPFFF! If anything, he now realised it was a great mistake, because it must have rained recently and made the soil soft. As he tried to pound his foot against it, it just served to stick all around his expensive, leather shoe and made it harder to lift his foot with each tap. He frowned even more deeply (somehow he was capable of that) and stared at it.
MERLIN! WHAT was this?! First a stupid kneazle, then being ordered to STOP by a stupid brat Gryffindor, now the soil. Stupid rain. Stupid soil. Stupid shoe. Stupid--
........was she mocking his anger?! Was she?! He stopped fighting the soil, leaned slightly forward (he was leaned forward already though, with his one foot deep in the soil) and narrowed his eyes against hers.
"Why do I have the impression that you are mocking me, Miss Cambridge?" He HISSED his name, and it was a hiss able to compete with her stupid animal's.
"Give me ONE reason not to deduct points, prefect." Since, she. Had. Let. Her. Kneazle. Loose. And. Was. Mocking. Him.

There was a lot of foot tapping going on as she'd noticed and she could see the tension steadily building in the Professor, the kind that usually caused them to snap...kinda like with Mr. Firth when he used to pop by at the worst times and start giving her lectures. She knew from experience that you let them shake it off first, give them some time to calm down before you really started anything.
The sudden stop in the tapping, the forward lean and the glare all told her he wasn't gonna accept the explanation she'd compressed for him. It wasn't easy fitting things into 10 seconds you know. He should try it sometimes. See how much effort she just put in.
Her brows knitted, not understanding his frustration. Wasn't HE the one that spat at HER? You didn't see her getting uppity.
And then it happened. Just like with Firth the man thought she was mocking him. Merlin, at least he didn't start giving her the 'THAT WAS THE MOST DISRESPECTFUL A STUDENT HAS GOTTEN WITH ME' card, then the one the Headmistress liked: 'FIFTY POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR!'.
"I would never, Professor Sir. You gave me ten seconds, I've learned that Professors like when you stay within the time allotted and that's really all that happened, legit!" Mocking, noooo, she was too distracted at the spit for that.
The kneazle began squirming around in her hand and she had to force him still. Shush Felix, she had points to save. One reason? Only ONE? "........er.......because it was an accident and I'll clean the Potions Lab for two weeks?" That was the start of bargaining. If he didn't accept she was willing to do what she did with Knox...even if that did get her kicked out of her office being yanked by her ear....
