Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hugging her large coat, Claire was doing her nightly rounds. She offered to help out the staff and complete guard duties to ensure the safety of their students. It wasn't a big deal in her case. It gave her more time to think of practical lesson plans for the next day. Walking around aimlessly, she decided to halt outside at the Viaduct. The outside was so gorgeous. The night was so dark, that it was slightly eerie. When looking out into the open, there was nothing that could be seen. It sparked her interest more to stay rather than find somewhere that was a lot safer.

Claire's mind was racing. There was a lot that she had to do the next day other than teaching. She recently spoke with the Headmistress about a young first year named Katrina. A little girl who happens to be one of the only seers ever to walk the Wizarding World. Claire didn't know how to confront this girl. From what she observed, this girl was fragile. And in order for her to gain her trust and figure out what is happening, she had to come up to her calmly and less intimidating. "I'll just wait for the right moment," she said out loud to herself.

((I know this doesn't give you a lot to jump off of- I just wanted to make sure the setting was indefinite))

Claire thought that she heard footsteps, but she wasn't sure. She held still, waiting to see if a sound would come from the entrance. Sure enough, there was. It did not sound like a threat, but instead, there was a voice that sounded like another professor.

Holding out her wand, she pointed it towards the ground. "Lumos," she said, and light had appeared from the tip of her wand. She looked at who had confronted her and gave a small smile. Looking at him, she thought that he was cute, but of course, all the cute ones were younger.

"I see you know French?" she asked, "Je m'appelle Claire Lunette. You are?" she asked, slightly stern, but playful. It was bugging her. She knew that she had seen him around, she just didn't know where or even what subject she taught. But of course, she wasn't going to ask.

Claire could tell that the light from her wand had made him squint. She quickly aimed the tip of her wand to the ground, to rather give a dim light than one that blinds.

"I think we call that denial," she said and gave a small laugh. It seemed like he was a very active teacher at the school and very knowledgeable if he can teach more than one subject.

"It's a pleasure meeting you," she said. He had then asked about what class she taught and her eyebrows raised high as she smirked. "I think you already know," she said, seeing if he did. She wasn't a seer nor was she someone who had Legilimens. She was just a normal woman who understands men.

Claire raised her eyebrows at his correct guess. "You're very good," she said, and walked slightly away towards the middle of the Viaduct. She swayed ever so gracefully and looked back at him. He asked her what he was thinking right then and there, and she playfully smiled. "Are you being stereotypical, Mr. Moreau? Surely you know the difference between those who practice Divination and Seers."

She sighed, knowing that with his question, he was like all normal magical beings. They always had a joke with those who study Divination. At first when she was younger, it was considered comical, but now at her age it was slightly irritating. However, she just met him. Maybe he was a little bit more mature than what he puts himself out to be.

"What got you into teaching, Professor?" she asked, straying away from her subject.

Claire could tell that he was messing around with her. Why else would he keep going? She let it slide and ignored his statement about Seers and Legilimency. There was nothing similar to them, and he even knew that. There was no point to lecture him about each meaning.

"I understand having both of those aspects," she said. She had wanted to become a teacher for both of those reasons as well. However, the love of Hogwarts was a bit more grand than the children. 39 year old woman with no children. It was definitely hard to be around hundreds of children, knowing that none of them are truly hers. "Any kids yourself?" she asked. She knew that he was young, but one could never know.

Location: Viaduct

David left the pitch severally upset. Not only did Elli not put Remy on the team but Remy even wished her luck. She was being civil while Elli just pushed her away. His hopes of playing her last year together shattered before his eyes. Looking back on what he promised Remy was it even worth it now... she hadn't made the team so did it matter if he failed potions and transfigurations. So he wouldn't be able to play Quidditch how would that make any difference?

Being in the state David was in he hadn't even noticed that he was headed across the viaduct or that he was being followed by his cousin until she spoke up. "David! Where are you going?" Leonette called out to him as she raced behind him. She'd been following him since they'd lift the Quidditch pitch. Especially when she realized he wasn't headed back to the common room. At the sound of her voice he stopped but didn't say anything.

"Hello I asked you a question!" Leonette yelled. That seemed to snap David out of it. "What?" He retorted at her not really meaning to yell. She froze for a moment not expecting him to yell back at her. "I asked you where you were going?" she asked him calmly. "Anywhere but the common room." he answered looking out into nowhere. "David I know you're upset I know I was..." Leonette started before being abruptly cut off. "I'm more then upset Leo I'm furious. I watched you guys play Remy deserved to be on the team at the very least given the last reserve spot. Elli is being unreasonable and putting her feelings into it." David shouted. "That's not even the worst part... Remy just took it from her..." he muttered now that he was starting to come down some.

Leonette thought for a moment before saying anything. "What was Remy supposed to do David?" she asked. "I don't know... I just wanted to see her happy. She loves Quidditch and Elli just took that away from her." David told her. "I know it sucks but there's nothing we can do and Remy wouldn't want you to be this upset." Leonette told him. "I know that but I made a deal with her and now it all seems worthless." David was broken inside and it wasn't even something to do with him.

"What kind of deal?" Leonette asked. "Remy would try out if I improved my grades in Transfigurations and Potions." David explained with a sigh. "David if you don't keep your promise I'll personally tell Remy you're giving up." Leonette said crossing her arms. "But..." David started before being stopped by his cousin. "But nothing... your deal was that she tried out not if she made the team. She stuck to her end now you stick to yours."

David looked at his cousin for a moment realizing how grown up she acted. It was kind of strange getting told what to do from someone three years younger than himself but he knew she was right. "I promise I'll stick to my end of things just don't say anything." he told her. "Deal now let's go back to the common room." Leonette said taking David's hand and dragged him back towards the Gryffindor common room.
