As Dan pushed open the door leading to the staff room a rather smug smile filled his face. When he was in his 4th year he once came into the common room trying to get back a piece of homework that his friend had charmed to flash rude words when the teacher tried to read it. Thankfully this time if he was caught by another teacher he would not be in trouble.
Looking around for a chair that look comfy he noticed a blue leather looking chair which was next to a book shelf. Laughing lightly to himself he sat down on the chair letting himself sink into it.
“That is nice”
Summoning over a foot stool Dan put his feet up and happily relaxed, wondering if anyone else actually used the room.

Rhiannon pushed open the staff room door in quite a flurry and dropped herself clumsily on the nearest chair. She was looking a bit of a mess with hardly a patch on her clothes not covered in mud and her hair sticking up wildly with twigs poking out of it. For anyone else in the school this would be a quite normal sight. It was well known that the ComC Professor was always popping in and out of the Forest whether to do with lessons or by request of the Headmaster, but for someone new it was sure to be a surprise.
Rhian scratched her nose vigrously before pulling out her worse for wear wand that had been poking out her back pocket. She gave it an elegant flick (the only thing elegant about Rhiannon at that moment in time) and large decorative tea pot appeared on the table in front. She was just leaning towards the table when she spotted the new face in the blue leather chair opposite her.
'You must be the new Charms teacher,' She said with her usual grin. 'I'm Rhiannon, Care of Magical Creatures.' She held out a grubby looking hand before giving out a laugh. 'I see I'm giving off the usual good first impression.' She rolled her eyes with a grin, and gave a swish off her wand to remove all the dirt on her.

Dan gave a laugh as the very muddy looking teacher in front of him introduced her self. With a rather large smile Dan leaned forward and took hold of her hand firmly and shook it rather vigorously. Apart for the headmaster this was the first teacher he had met and he was determined to make a good impression.
“Hello. I’m Daniel Hubbles, charms teacher. And it is charming to met you.”
Dan gave a small smile at his won, rather pitiful joke. He had always wanted to use it and now he had. The effect was not as good as he imagined it in his head but it would have to do. Eventually he let go of Rhiannon’s hand and leaned back in his chair.
His face continued to have a beaming smile fixed o it as he looked around the room.
“So have you been in the forest then? Or simply had a rather interesting lesson. I can remember in my fourth year the Care of Magical creatures teacher took us into the forest to met come centaurs and I do not think any of us came back with out missing a shoe or sleeve off out robes. I even remember someone even lost a sock but still had their shoe on….it was very strange.”
Dan gave a small chuckle thinking back at the memories of his time at Hogwarts.

Rhiannon had to give a smirk at his pun before adding. 'And you.' She leant back in her arm chair and picked up the large tea pot in front of her. 'Tea?' She asked, giving the pottery a shake to tempt him and pouring out two cups before he had time to give an answer.
'Aye, I've been in the Forest,' Rhia began as she took a quick sip of well earnt tea. 'In fact I'm in there so much nowadays that I might as well move in.' She gave a light laugh. 'It's been giving us bit of trouble this year you see... creatures getting up to odd things and that,' She placed her conjured cup back on its saucer. 'Nothing we can't sort out though I'm sure.' Rhian decided not to go into detail about how things had been getting more and more unsettled in the forest over the recent weeks.
'You got to meet centaurs eh? Bloody hell... if only my class could have that chance-' She paused as a mental picture of her first lesson shot into her head - Thom and Zach getting a bit too close to some of the less friendly of the herd. 'Well officially allowed the chance,' She carefully rephrased with a grin. 'Though I'm not sure they would be too pleased about being the subject of a "magical creatures" class, they're the ones who like to do the observing and well, I guess you lot learnt that the hard and painful way.' She laughed and picked her cup up again to take another sip. 'So what did you do before getting the teaching post?'

Dan laughed as Rhiannon offered him a pot of tea. He happily took the cup and listened to the story of Rhiannon. When she mentioned about the strange going on in the forest he shuffled in his chair. With a very nervous smile he sipped his tea thought about how to phrase the question that was flying around in his mind.
“What would you do if…if you bumped into a werewolf?”
His mind switched to his little sister hoping that Rhiannon would not go around killing werewolves. His thinking distracted him from one of the questions that Rhiannon asked about his former job.
“Oh well I went around the globe looking at rare magical animals. I did enjoy my travelling, Brazil was my favourite, in the Amazon. Beautiful…but very hot. What about you? Have you always been destined to be a teacher?”
Dan gave her another smile and took another sip of his tea.
