(Thought we might need a new staff thread, now that the others have come to an abrupt end)

*Professor Siyavash Chogan enters the staff room with his coffee cup, in search of coffee*.

If you're searching for the coffee it's on the table to your left. sips her coffee slowly hoping the caffeine would wake her up

Thank you, thank you... He pours himself a cup You'll forgive me if I don't know your name. I'm new here... I'm the flight instructor. He smiles politely as he stirs sugar into his coffee.

I'm Belldandy Warrington, the Care of Magical Creatures Professor. sticks out her hand to shake his

"Siyavash Chogan, Flight instruction." He shakes her hand. "Siyavash is a bit much to say, so you can call me Vash."

I was never really good on a broomstick. she smiles to herself remembering her horrible experiences I can work with dragons but I have a difficult time when it comes to broomsticks.

So you teach Care for Magical Creatures? What kinds of creatures do you work with usually?

Dragons, birds, nifflers and just about anything else.

Wow, that must be interesting. They say never to work with kids and animals, because they'll always find a way to annoy you.

That's true and you have to have tons of patience to work with either of them.

I don't mind the kids. It's my job, I guess.

You sound a bit unsure. stares at her coffee mug wishing for something stronger

Not much of a morning person. Grimaces That and the fact I had to pull a first year out of a tree last night.

It was probably a Hufflepuff. They seem to have problems in my class as well.

They're easier to deal with than the Gryffindores or the Slytherins are, showing off like they do. Usually get the most broken bones with them. Ravenclaws always start out nicely, but they're usually too into the books to practice outside of class, so it doesn't tend to go much farther than the basics with them...

That's true. I've had an equal amount of Slytherins and Hufflepuffs injured. Seems as though the Ravenclaws can care less about Magical Creatures and the Gryffindors actually listen to part of the instructions.

Ravenclaws have the advantage of testing well. Not very athletic. Gryffindores and Slytherins are slow to start, but they tend to rise to the top. Hufflepuffs... They're careful, and I appreciate that. Less fatalities that way.

Did you attend Hogwarts when you were a student? You seem to know so much about them.

No, but I do my homework. I only hope they do theirs a well. I attended school in Istanbul.

I've never been to Istabul before. I heard it's nice there.

He nods his head in a way that shows its a touchy subject. So, big plans for today?

Teaching some 3rd year students about griffins mainly other then that nothing really.

Same here. As soon as I have some breakfast I'm off on the field. At least it's a nice day.

stares at the empty mug of coffee yawning Yes, that's a good thing.

One of the few disadvantages of working outside. He puts his coffee down on the table and leans his head back against his chair. Some days, you just don't feel like going to work.

And other days you wish you could get just one more hour of sleep.

Coughs a few times sickly Yeah, that's the story of my life. So, any students in particular I should watch out for?

looks up at him I haven't really had any problems with students. So it's hard to say.

That's always a good thing. There was a boy at the last school I taught at... I don't know why they let him in.

Was he a problem student?

In a word? Yes. In two, the worst. He was a terrible student, so he made up for it by making learning as difficult as possible for the other kids. Pushed down the NEWTS for a great percentage of his class. Sadly, he was an extremely bright boy and did extreamly well on his own NEWTS... He had terrible problems with the concept of work.

Some of them are like that.

I was so happy when he graduated...

Did you throw a going away party and not invite him?

I left the night of graduation that year, but I think the other teachers might have.

nods her head The bad ones are the ones that ruin it.

Hah... He smirked with a far away look that school was ruined long before he got there. Bad administration.

yawns again trying to keep her eyes open I don't think the caffeine fix is kicking in yet.

Stares at his coffee. Are you sure this isn't decaf?

looks up at him I hope it isn't.

Stands slowly and walks twords the coffe pot Only one way to know. Wish me luck.

*looks at him strangely trying to figure out what he's going to do.*

Gingerly, he opens the cubbard door and looks in, giving the contents of the shelves a warey eye. Then, he spots it.

"It's as we feared. Somebody's been drinking de-caff."

moans slightly That's the worse thing to do.

Inconsiderate sonofa- That's always the way, isn't it? one person wants to drink decaff, they think we all drink decaff!

I happen to enjoy caffeine. Well I'm going to go to a muggle Starbucks and get some real coffe then. Do you want me to pick some up for you to?

You have no idea how much my first period would apreciate that. He hands her some coins.
