Excitement For The Day

[Tyler Croft]

Tyler was walking around the Dungeons, he wasn't really walking anywhere, he was just letting if two feet go the wrong ways or maybe the right ways, he didn't know. Ty was never good at directions. but after a while he came to the kitchens. he had never really been here before, only a few times but that was it. he looked around and saw no one, but he did see a lot of cabinets and a fridge. he rubbed his hands together and had an evil smile on his face. He crept over to the fridge and opened it and saw a whole bunch of food in there. he was kinda hungry, well a wolf does need to eat. Tyler turned into his wolf form and started chowing down on anything he could get his paws on.

Tyler was always a bad boy when he was in the kitchens, he made a huge mess when it came to this place. but he didn't really care as long as he wasn't the one cleaning it up, then he was fine. Tyler always wanted to have fun no matter where he was at. Tyler was making a big mess, well its not like a wolf can be clean all the time. he would have to go to the lake after this to clean off or something.

Tyler then dragged a whole bunch of sausages out of the fridge and went over to a corner and sat down to eat them. yeah he was getting quite messy. but he didn't care really, as long as it wouldn't stick in his fur or for that matter when he turned back into his human for it would be all caught in his hair, which it just might be.

House elves are a girls best friend.

As Taryn made her way into the kitchens to see the house elves again, she sighed. She knew that the house elves somewhat liked working in the kitchens but she didn't really think it was all that great. It sounded like slave work to her. Which was why she liked to go visit them. She knew that they liked company.

As usual, when she closed the kitchen door behind her, swarms of house elves came up to her offering her things. She smiled down at them and politely declined while sitting herself down on a bench next to a table. She started talking with one of the little elves before she noticed something over by the refrigerator. She couldn't see it but she could definitely hear it. She picked up a knife and walked slowly over towards the fridge.

As she rounded the corner of the cabinet blocking her view, she noticed fur and then a body and then... HOLY CRAP IT WAS A WOLF. She tried to stay calm but that wasn't working out all that well. She let out a tiny scream and ran to jump on top of the table she was previously sitting at, grabbing the house elves up onto the table with her. Sure, a table wouldn't stop a wolf but she needed time to think of a plan. Wow, seeing as she was the Care of Magical Creatures teacher, she shouldn't really be afraid of a wolf but who cares. She was scared ok? Deal with it.

[[Wow. This was really bad. Sorry ]]

[Tyler Croft]

Tyler was sitting there just eating away. not noticing anything around him or whoever was around him. yes he knew that there where elves around, but he didn't care. he shook his wolf head at the thought of it. he just kept eating away. he was running out of sausages so he finished eating what he had.

Tyler then got off of his butt and looked around the kitchen. he saw that this girl was on a table with the elves. what was she doing? was he that scary looking? he had thought to himself. then he remembered that he was in his wolf form. Tyler morphed back into his human form and looked at the girl & the elves.

"I'm sorry miss. i must have startled you." Tyler said to the lady. he kinda chuckled a little bit at the sighed of her. the elves had known that he had came in as a human and then turned into his wolf form, so they weren't that scared of him. "you gunna come down from there?" he asked with a smirk


[Nope mine was really bad i forgot about the elves!
sorry haven't been on in a LONG time but i will work with it]

[Taryn Connor]

Huh?

Taryn saw this wolf... stand up? Ohhhh. Now everything was making sense. He was an animagus. Durrr. She herself was an animagus. But nothing as intense as a wolf. A little red fox. Yep. Fun stuff. She turned her attention back down towards the elves. They were giving her this perplexed look and she gave them an apology smile. They probably thought that she was crazy. Oh well. A lot of people thought that. She let them down and addressed the kid. Damn animagus's. They were always popping up and scaring her.

"Yes I'm coming down. I'm not afraid of you."

She said with a hint of sarcasm and then a little smile on the end, letting him know that it was all in good fun. He looked older, maybe fifth year? She really didn't know. She, herself didn't think that she looked any different than she did when she was a student, which was only last term. She hoped she didn't look old. That would suck. As she hopped down off the table, she decided to introduce herself.

"I'm Taryn by the way."

She said to him with a smile, extending her hand for him to shake. She gazed about the room again and noticed that the house elves were beginning the clean up. Man this kid did make a mess, didn't he? The house elves could use all the help that they could get so she grabbed a broom and started sweeping up. Yeah she could talk and sweep at the same time. It was a gift and a curse.

"So what are you doing in here besides ransacking the kitchens?"

She said with a smile, forming a nice pile of dust on the floor with the broom.

[Tyler Croft]

Tyler looked at her and chuckled a little more. he had thought that this was the funniest thing he had seen in a long time. he was actually laughing, well not full out blown laughing, but at least he was getting a few in. he had done that in a while. Tyler looked at the girl. "oh really? where not afraid of the big bad wolf?" he said with a smirk on his face.

Tyler looked at the girl again, the girl, her name was Taryn. it was a nice name. he had never herd it before but it was nice. "I'm Tyler, Tyler Croft." he had said to her. he had still had that small little smirk on his face and it wasn't going away.

Tyler looked at Taryn once again and saw her helping the elves clean up his mess. 'now why is she doing that when i am not even done in here.' he had thought to himself. "well a hungry wolf needs to eat doesn't he?" he had said to her. "why are you in here?" he asked her. "oh and by the way, i would stop cleaning I'm not done." he said getting into the fridge again.

[Taryn Connor]

She rolled her bright, green eyes at him and shook her head. The kid was cocky. She gave him another smirk, avoiding his comment about the 'big bad wolf' business. Yeah so what? She was a tiny bit afraid. Big deal. Who wasn't? When he said his name, she racked her brain to try to remember if she had met him before. She didn't think she had. Interesting. She hadn't seen him around the castle lately either. As she continued sweeping the floor, she turned her eyes back up towards him.

"Nice to meet you. And yes you might have to eat but you could be a little cleaner about it. The elves have enough to do as it is without you adding to the mess."

She said with a chuckle. She scooped the dirt into a pan and dumped it into the trash. Yeah you're probably wondering why I don't just whip out my wand and clean it up like that. She didn't want to do EVERYTHING for the house elves. They took pride in their work people. She didn't want to take that pride away from them. Then he asked her why she was in here. Valid question.

"I don't know. I'm bored and finished grading my lesson so I thought I'd come visit the house elves..."

She said, putting the broom down and taking a seat on the bench next to the table she was previously standing on. What was the point in cleaning a room that was just going to get messier? Oh well...

[Tyler Croft]

Tyler stopped eating from the fridge & listened to what Taryn was saying to him. he had nodded his head a few times and then he smirked. Ty chuckled a little and shook his head at himself. so he was talking to a teacher. hmm he wondered what she had taught. he saw her put the broom and dust pan down and sit at the table. "well hmm i guess i could be a little cleaner, but whats the fun in that?" he said to her. Tyler went over to her and say down next to her. "hope you don't mind." he said to her.


"so your a teacher? hmm, well what do you teach?" he said to her with a curious expression on his face. he hadn't seen this teacher before, but he had been gone for a long time. Tyler started checking his hair for food that had gotten in it while he was looking through the fridge, he was a messy wolf/boy after all. Ty thought that he had gotten it all out but he didn't know for sure, he wasn't in front of a mirror or anything.

[Taryn Connor]

Again, she rolled her eyes at Tyler. She really needed to stop that. She just knew that some kids made her really happy and some made her really pissed off but this kid... surprisingly he was kind of like Cory. Sarcastic and someone that made her laugh. Shocking that anyone was like Cory. Weird. Anyways... back to the conversation. He then came to sit next to her and then made sure she didn't mind. Well that wasn't a quality that Cory had for sure.

"Oh no I don't mind. Go ahead." she said and then followed up by answering his next question, "Uh yeah I teach. This is my first year actually. I teach Care of Magical Creatures."

She said with a smile. She loved teaching actually. It was really interesting but also really nerve-racking. She never knew if the students would like her lesson or if they would hate it. So far they seemed to be liking the things that she taught. That was good. She didn't want to be one of those boring teachers that no one like to go to for class. She was awesome! Wow, if that wasn't conceited then I don't know what is. She then turned back to Tyler.

"So what house and year are you? You look older than most of the younger students but I haven't seen you around before so I could be wrong..."

She said, thinking it over in her head. She probably sounded a little stupid right now. Oh well.

[Tyler Croft]

Tyler looked at her and listened to what she had to say. he was a vary good listener for the most part, unlike other guys. he had saw that she had rolled her eyes, it didn't phase him at all. he has had that happen to him a few times, but he didn't care about gestures like that. he just shook it off and went back to listening to her.

"Oh must be fun to teach, do you like it? i wouldn't know about me, but i don't think i would be vary good at it." he said with a chuckle. he knew for a fact that he wouldn't be good at it because he was a fun guy and if he taught a class he would want it to be fun and he would want his students to have fun also. he wouldn't want to be known as the boring teacher or the way to strict teacher....hmmm he would look into it sometime but if it wasn't for him, it wasn't for him. "maybe I'm just gunna have to enroll in your class, never took that one before." he said to her. he was just kidding though he knew that the term already started and he wasn't interested in taking any classes this year.

"Oh well i have been gone for a really long time. I'm kinda hiding from the world outside." he said to her and looked down a little. "so no your not wrong." he had said to her. "but I'm a sixth year and I'm a Griffy." he said to her and looked at her.

[Taryn Connor]

She nodded in response to his question.

"Yeah I like it a lot. I try to make my lessons really fun and not boring. I know, from experience, that students get really bored really easily in classes. But yeah it's fun. I'm also Hufflepuff Head of House this term so that's another thing to add to the plate."

She said with a smile. She loved all of her Huffies. Being a Hufflepuff Alumni herself, she just couldn't stay away now could she? Then he said that he should take her class.

"Well of course you should take my class. The more the merrier. I already have like 17 kids in my class or something like that but I could always use one more."

She said with a smile. When he mentioned that he had been gone for a while, she understood all too well. She had that phase a while back. She just needed to spend some time at home with her family and that was what she folks. Yep. Anywho. Onto the next question. Sixth year Gryffindor. So she was pretty close on the year thing. She smiled at him and nodded.

"Ok cool. I would just like to point out though that Hufflepuff is wayyyy cooler."

She said teasingly. She knew he wouldn't think so but hey, it was worth a shot.

"So are you taking any classes this term?"

[Tyler Croft]

Tyler listened to her again like always. so a huffy! he was talking to a huffy! hmm didn't seem that bad, they where really always nice people, good people when it came to him talking to one of them, like now. he didn't seem to be having any problems with her. she was actually really nice. Ty smiled at little, but it just turned into a smirk again.

"wow you must be a really busy person these days, doing all of that." he said to her. he had listened to how she taught her class. he nodded his head and smiled. "i think we all know from experience how boring a class could be." he said to her. "really? you could use more? but the term has already started and i don't really know if you could handle me in your class." he said to her with another smile on his face.

See heres the thing with Tyler, if he really wanted to be in the class and learn the class then he would do the work and pass the class. thats how he got his animagus form, he wanted to take the class, he wanted to pass, so he did the work. he was interested in her class but he didn't know what he would get out of it. but it was worth a try to take it. so yes he would check into it.

"ah no there not." he said playing around with her. "Griffy's are so much better." he said to her again just playing around. "my whole family has been Giff's, but when it comes to my cousins and that, they have always been different." he said to her.

Tyler was thinking hard about her question. because he knew that he didn't want to but he was going to check out her class and see if it was worth taking. "i may take just one, but i may, i don't really know for sure." he said to her.

[Taryn Connor]

Taryn shrugged when he said that it was a lot to keep her busy. Honestly, she hadn't felt all that busy lately. Sure, her class was the most time consuming but she had fun being Huffie HoH. She had a lot of ideas that she needed to get out to her Huffies before the end of term. It was just a really fun experience for her. When he questioned whether she could use more kids in her class, she nodded.

"Yeah I mean like I said, the more the merrier. Plus half of the kids signed up don't show so it would even out if you joined. And please. I could totally handle you."

She said a little bit sarcastically. With Tyler being a wolf animagus, she wasn't sure what would come of him being in her class. But we'll just have to wait and see if he signed up. He then questioned her on her saying that Huffies were better by retaliating back with "Gryffies are better." Yeah right. She waved it off though. She would let the kid believe what he wanted. Even if it wasn't true.

"Yeah I know what you mean about classes. When I was a student, which was only last term, I only took the minimum amount of classes. Some people are just different though. Like one of my students, Sophia is taking I think eight or so classes. I would never be able to do that but that's just me."

[Tyler Croft]

Tyler looked at her and when she said that half the kids that signed up in her class didn't show, he was frustrated. why would you sign up for a class if you not even gunna go? it just didn't make any sense what so ever. i mean you sign up for class. you go to class, don't wait the teachers time, but those people are mostly waisting there time not getting an education. hump! what nerve they had. "oh I'm sorry about you class, well maybe i will join, because i just feel bad for the teachers when most of their kids don't show up. ya never know maybe i will just pop into one of your classes and just start taking the lesson in, i know that i would be behind and everything, but i could work on it." he said to her. thats another reason he could add to his list why he didn't want to teach.

Tyler gave this 'WHAT' look when he herd that one of her students was taking eight or so classes! what was wrong with that girl? but Tyler guessed that she just wanted to be smart. "EIGHT!?!? that would be Way to much for me! i couldn't deal with the stress!" he said to her with a smile on his face, of course he was kidding eight classes...sounded like a lot, but it wasn't if you took the right classes. "so what do you like to do for fun, i mean now that your a teacher did your personality change even just the slightest bit?" he asked her.

[Taryn Connor]

Taryn shook her head at him.

"Oh I don't want you to join just because you pity me. I'm fine. It happens every term. Kids join, thinking that they are going to have so much fun and they won't really have to do anything but that's what a class is. It's work. Even though my class can hardly be considered work but hey, what can you do?"

She said with a chuckle. She caught a house elves eye and summoned him over to her for a moment. She leaned over and whispered in his ear and moments later, he came back with the glass of water that she had ask him for. She thanked him while taking a sip of the water before setting it down at the table behind her. Now where were they?

She giggled when he freaked about how many classes Sophia was taking. Some people were just different, that's all.

"Yeah, she's a work-horse. But she really wants to be successful so I can see why she does it. I, personally, would never do that much but that's just me. And apparently you too."

She said with a laugh. He then asked her what she liked to do for fun and if her personality changed. She actually couldn't hold back the laugh in her throat. After she literally LOL-ed, she gave Tyler a smile.

"My personality change? My personality has not changed at all. If anything, I've gotten a tad bit crazier then when I was a student. I think all of my students think I'm a little crazy when it comes to the lessons I teach or me in general but that's who I am."

She said with a smile. She thought her personality had stayed in tact quite a bit. She hadn't changed. She still liked to hang out with the students that she was previously friends with and she didn't find it weird or anything. She was still only eighteen. She was still young, despite what people think.

"As for what I like to do for fun... there's a lot. I like to do really weird, spontaneous things like jump in the lake in January and roll around in mud puddles and find cloud shapes. Just weird stuff. I hang out in the Hufflepuff commonroom all the time too. I don't consider myself to be the typical professor."

She said proudly. She was trying to keep away from that stereotype as best she could.

"So what about you misterr? What do you like to do for fun?"

[Tyler Croft]

"no no, i didn't pity you, its just i feel bad, i can feel bad cant i?" he asked her. "but now i wont join your class because if you think i pity you then you will be thinking that all semester." he said to her with a smirk on his face. he really didn't pity her, just felt bad. he didn't know that she was going to think differently of him just because he felt bad. Tyler shook his head a little at the thought.

"wow, i wouldn't like to be a work horse. thats just way to much for me, but then again if you really want to succeed in life then you have to work really hard to get where you wanna be, right?" he said to her.

he was happy to hear that her personality didn't change at all, but her personality just got a whole lot better. he smiled at that fact. most peoples personalities change when they become a teacher or they are doing something that is really important. he listened to what she liked to do for fun, he smiled at it. he thought that she was a little weird at doing those things but they sounded like fun. "oh me? hmm well, i love to be in my animagus form, like you saw today. i love playing pranks on people even though it might get me into trouble every once in a while and i also just like to hang out with people that i haven't known for a long time and just reminisce about the past." he said to her.

[Sorry For Late Post]
