"I love England, but I miss Ireland a lot." said the Professor, stepping down the case of stairs. "Where are you from in Scottland?" he asked.

"I'm sure you do, I visited Ireland once or twice in my travels and I loved it." She smiled, "Born in Edinburgh, raised in Inverness which is in the highlands."

"What is it like there?" asked the Professor as they entered the Enterence Hall. He looked up and saw the House Points hour glasses. It looked like Ravenclaw was winning, with Gryffindor catching up.

"Truthfully, it's cold but I'm used to it." She stopped remembering what it felt like to run around in the forest near her home, "But it's beautiful almost as though time has stopped. Or at least that's how it felt where I lived and grew up."

"That's cool." said Falcon, walking across the Enterence Hall to the large oak door, opening it for Avalon. When they were outside the Professor looked across the grounds at the Forbidden Forest. "Was it like the Dark Forest?" he asked.

"Like the Dark Forest...the forbidden forest?" She shook her head but then paused, "Not quite. I mean there were wolves and such but it was a peaceful place. You just had to be careful like anywhere else." Walking down the path she thought to ask, "Why did you move to England?"

"Why did I move to England?" he repeated as they walked towards the gates of Hogwarts. "My family needed money, I still send my mother money every month. You see, my father left for the war when I was young. We never recieved a letter acknowleging his life or death, but he's been gone since." Falcon shrugged. "I came to Hogwarts and got a job as the Fencing Professor."

"I see." Pulling open the gates she let him pass before stepping through and closing it behind them, "Well, it's good to have someone to talk to here."

Falcon nodded in agreement. "So what's your story?" asked the Professor. "How did you come to Hogwarts?" His hooves thudded quietly on the dirt path down to the road.

"I studied here." she said simply before shaking her head, "My story is fairly short. Raised in Scotland before coming to study here at Hogwarts. After finishing I left to travel the world and further my career as an archeologist and things along those lines. Moved to Argentina were I joined an excavation before I was mixed up in some trouble with my funders. Came back here to wait it out. Hogwarts seemed like as good of place as any...except I wasn't counting on the dictator we call a headmaster."

Falcon nearly fell over, laughing. "Snape? Yeah, he's not much fun." The Centaur said between chuckles, "But he's where I get my paycheck from, so I guess I can't do anything about it."

Avalon smiled in turn, "You're right about that. Eh, I still hold my feelings of dislike for him but I've made it a goal to be cordial. So far I'm still alive and haven't lost my temper."

"He's never really bothered me. I just think he's no fun." Falcon shrugged, not wanting to press for details of what Snape did wrong. The Professor let a horse and wagon pass before crossing the road.

"How are your classes going?" she asked attempting to make light conversation on their walk to the the Three Broomsticks. In one fluid movement she bent and swiftly plucked a blooming flower from the side of the road. Bringing the flower to her nose she smelled it's sweet fragrance.

"Rather well. Though there was a centaur watching my class today. The little idiot kicked me!" exclaimed Falcon. "How are you classes going, besides Snape giving you a hard time?" he asked.
