.Oh the Webs we Weave.[Gabriella]

[magyn]

Magyn walked down the stairs to her office and across the classroom with a stack of papers in her hand. She still had not got used to wearing her robes all the time. Luckily madam Malkin had had something appropriately 'Magyn". Her robes were long and flowing, like everyone else's, however hers were a deep blood red velvet trimmed in black velvet ribbon, the inside was lined with black silk and upon her soft tendril hair she wore a headband with a black and red ribboned rose that was set to the right. Beneath her robe however it was all her, even down to her thigh high boots which clicked and clacked with every step. She knew how loud her heels could be so if she was the only one in the hall she would silence her steps, however whenever there was a hallway full of students or especially in her classroom she would click and clack with pride. She stopped right before the door and checked herself in vampire friendly mirror that she had found in Romania centuries ago, fluffed her hair and touched up her blood red lipstick which set off her pale skin soo sultry even she was a little mesmerized looking at herself. She was finally satisfied returned to her desk, she needed to get these papers graded, 'no rest for the wicked' she always told herself then laughed. She was so grateful that she was able to procure a teaching job at Hogwarts, when she had arrived she had spent many days pondering how she was going to step foot in the wonderful place she once called home. Then it had dawned on her, with her extensive knowledge of magic the best thing was fot her to be able to share that knowledge with others, so she walked right into the headmistresses office, presented hercase, performed a practical, and got the job on the spot. Magyn was elated, now all she had to do was grade these papers.

Gabriella was looking for her classroom she had never been to the defense against the dark arts class before and she was nervous. She had heard tha professor parker was a very nice teacher Gabby hoped so she had very few nice teachers and was hoping she would do well in this class. Her bestfriend noah had helped her greatly in herbology which she got and B+ on her last report. She sighed she hoped and prayed this wouldn't be difficult. She walked down the rest of the hallway to the room givin on her schedule opened the door and went to professor parkers desk. Hi im Gabriella Weasley she told her gabby waited for professor parkers response.

Magyn was diligently going through parchment after parchment, though every time she looked at the pile it hardly made a dent. She was however having a good time reading each of these, they were her third years papers on baggarts. The last class she had given a lecture on the creatures then had each student face a boggart and perform the charm. Each had performed magnificently. She then heard the door open and shut but did not look up to see who it was, she was in the middle of a paper and would finish it before she was interrupted. Just before she was at the end of the parchment she heard a small voice address her and introduce herself as Gabriella Weasley......Magyns thoughts wondered a second, 'weasley, weasley weasley....' She knew she had heard that name, then it came to her, thats right, this is the family that helped Harry Potter defeat Lord Voldemort. She put up a single finger motioning for the child to hold on one second, finished reading, put a A- on the top and set it to the side. "Hi Gabriella, I am Professor Magyn Parker, what can I do for you?" she asked lightly and cheerfully. Magyn tried extra hard to be friendly and courteous to her students, she was worried that the fact she was a vampire would scare them right off the bat, so she tried to counter it with being kind.

[gabby22]

She held up a finger to her gabby waited patiently as professor Parker graded another student’s paper than she looked up at gabby to ask her what she needed. Gabby was nervous she usually was a chatter box then she looked at her and said “I’m starting your class and I was just wondering if there is anything I’m gonna need” Gabby said real quietly. She was looking at professor Parker with admiration she was very pretty with shiny black hair and the lipstick matched perfectly Gabriella wondered how old she was because she didn’t even look like a Professor at all she looked young enough to be a sixth year or seventh year. How old do you really have to be to work here she wondered gabby got lost into her thoughts a lot of times it usually kept her from going crazy. She heard most of her family was good at this class so she would probably do good in it too. She stopped her wondering around in her head and turned her focus back to her professor she didn’t want her to think gabby was unusual. Gabby just liked to keep her thoughts to herself a lot so it wasen’t anything out of the ordinary.

[magyn]

Magyn thought this girl was priceless, stifling a giggle she put down her pen and looked up at the child. "Gabriella my dear, all you will need in this class is a strong mind and the ability to believe you can do anything if you try!" she said with a hint of mysticism. "Gabriella, what year are you going to be in?" she asked bluntly and matter of factly, but also with an air of cheerfulness. Some students made her so giddy, ones like these especially. When you have lived as long as Magyn you begin to compartmentalize different traits with different types of people and you tend to be able to recall those traits right off the bat. Especially within the walls of Hogwarts, considering most students were sorted by traits. magyn was gonna guess Ravenclaw for this one, eagerness for learning was top on the list of traits for that house. Magyn did not have many Ravenclaw friends when she attended here , in her younger days she thought they were all suck ups, and frankly made fun of them and didn't want anything to do with them. She was in Slytherin after all, however as she got older she realized that everyone has their own interests and their own things that drive them, she respected individuality now.

[gabby22]

“I’m in my fourth year now and I’m a ravenclaw, the rest of my family is in Griffendor though,” Gabby replied. Her professor seemed nice; Gabriella had a great feeling that she was going to like this class. She also had a high determination to pass it. And even if she managed to get a sort of bad grade she had Noah and Kale. Gabriella was tired she was a having a good day but she was just plain worn out tired. “So when can I start?” Gabriella asked. She had an organization planner and she had to make a color code for this class. Then she was off to dinner!! She really needed to talk to her cousin Albus and say hey to Tuesday and Noah. Gabby tossed her banes to the side out of her face. Her eyes ached and burned which made them water when she closed them. It was from studying all night she really needed to catch up so she had finished her Herbology homework and Transfiguration. She hadn’t yet started on her astrology essay yet, but she’d get to that later. She wondered what they were having for dinner she was starving. She also had made a new friend today even though the girl said she rarely hung with people other than Slytherns which was strange to gabby considering she was a Hufflepuff. But Cheyenne liked her and gabby thought that was nice Gabriella had told her that she didn’t mind Slytherns. But gabby really didn’t think they made true friends, but she wasn’t going to tell that to Cheyenne. She had heard what Cheyenne did to that Griffendor second year who was now laying in the hospital wing. “Oh well” Gabriella thought. She turned her attention back to Professor Parker, waiting on her response.

[sorry been really busy with school, sigs and such]

Magyn listened as Gabriella explained how she was in fourth year, Ravenclaw; as Magyn expected, but that the rest of her family had been in Gryffindor. Magyn remembered something vaguely about the Weasley's having been a pretty strictly Gryffindor family; odd this one. Magyn wondered how she was handling everything, and if her family was supporting her, or giving her a hard time? She then answered her question, "Well, classes have been going on since the beginning of term....." she paused and looked for her class list for Ravenclaw fourth years, which she had just re-printed off a new copy of as the headmaster had informed her of a new student being added to one of her classes but wasn't sure which one. "Umm yes, here you are, Did your head of house give you a schedule?.....according to what I have Ravenclaw class for fourth years is held just after lunch on tuesday and thursday...aannnnddd, it looks like the only book you will need was on your school list." Magyn closed the folder the papers were in and sat back with her hands in her lap and a smile on her face.

[gabby22]

Gabriella looked at her Professor as she spoke to her “um yes I have the schedule right here” gabby said pulling it out looking at it “And the book is Defense against the Dark Arts grade four..Right?” she asked. Gabby was excited. Tuesdays and Thursdays, which gave her more time to spend with Alex? Gabby was so happy when she was with him a dream come true just thinking about him brought a smile to her face and butterflies in her stomach… he was her fairytale. But even though she liked Alex she also had to focus on her school work which meant herbology especially. She was going to work very hard to ensure that she passed this class. She was already thinking about her owls for next year. I am so totally dropping herbology though she thought weather I pass or fail. Gabby looked back at Professor Parker she was going to be on her best behavior in this class she was going to make her daddy proud her whole family was good at Defense Against the Dark Arts her Uncle Harry especially so she was going to follow in their footsteps even if she’s not a Gryffindor she was one hell of a smart Ravenclaw and she was proud.

[magyn]

Magyn looked up at the student from where she sat and answered, "Yes, my dear, that is the correct book, it's good that you have it--you should read the first two chapters before class if you want to get a leg up on things." she suggested kindly. With this Weasley descendant sitting in front of her, she was now slightly upset at herself that she was traveling from country to country when her parents were in school, she would have liked to gotten into the action up close in personal. Albeit, she did have her own adventures and many lovers -- she would have liked to be in the thick of things here at Hogwarts. She would have been privileged to tell the stories of the adventures in first hand rather than third of fourth. She looked back at the girl and grabbed another paper, to be ready for grading when the girl left, she saw her blonde hair. 'The girls mother must have blonde hair, the Weasley's had always been known for their full head of flaming red hair' she thought. Bringing herself out of her head she put a fresh smile on her face and asked Gabby, "How do you like it here at Hogwarts?"

[gabby22]

Gabriella looked at her she said she did have the right book. Gabby sighed she was so relieved to know this she had hoped her dad had sent her the right one. Of course he would he knew Hogwarts way better than her. She had told gabby to read the first two chapters to catch up in class if she wanted to be a head of things but truth be told Gabriella had already read the whole book when she first got it it seemed exciting to read so she couldn't help herself she loved books and she loved reading anything that was set in front of her she guess she got that from her Aunt Hermione. "I've already have read the whole book actually... when i got it i read it and it was too hard to put down afterwards" Gabriella said with a smile. Then she had asked Gabriella how she loved Hogwarts. Gabriella's face lit up "I love it here i have my family and most important i have Alex Chan." She said smiling shyly when she thought of Alex he was what made hogwarts enjoyable. She bit her lip she could feel her heart race.

[magyn]

Magyn smiled, "that's good to hear, family, friends, and relationships are good to have" she laughed softly, "especially when one is as driven at school as you are, they are good outlets to keep stress away" Magyn told her honestly, she had seen way too many students break under the pressure and have a breakdown. "Don't forget to use them and spend time with the people that are important to you" Magyn leaned back in her chair and started twirling her quill between her fingers. "How is your family?" she prodded, hoping to find something out about the weasleys, which who she found fascinating.

[gabby22]

Gabriella smiled at her professor she was right family was important. "We'll i spent yesterday with my cousin louis were more like brother and sister. Last time i talked to Albus he was in a bad mood. Rose is busy with quidditch so i don't see much of her. And i really haven't talked with anyone else basically." She said with a sweet smile. "But i spent a few hours on the grounds with Alex." she said smiling real big she was suppose to meet him today. She was glad her professor looked like she liked gabby. This made gabby extremely happy she wasn’t going to do bad in this class because of a mean professor. Gabriella hated pressure and that’s the way most classes went for her but she knew right off once her and Professor Parker started talking that she was going to enjoy this class she was so friendly. Tha Gabriella knew she wasn’t going to have any problems getting along with her. “I hope im not keeping you from your work Professor.” Gabriella said politely. She didn’t want to disturb her. Gabriella couldn’t wait to start the class though she was majorly eager to start she knew it was going to be exciting. “Most of my family know that my best spell is occlumency im really great at it.” She told her it was Gabriella’s most impressive spell. “but louis hates when I do it to him but I think its funny.” Gabriella laughed remebering her cousin scowling at her but couldn’t stay mad long.
