A satisfied smirk making its way across Nilsa’s lips, the Headmistress left the man stunned, weak in the knees...and deliriously happy where he stood. It was rather...amusing, what with how the day’s events have unfolded. First, she sees her niece for the first time in...many, many months, and ends up teasing the girl both verbally and physically until her panties are soaked through...then this. Now this...this...whatever it was, she did not expect. The goofy grin replacing the happy smile he was wearing previously, Nilsa knew that Ghalaghor had fallen hopelessly in love with her again...which is the way it should be. A bit smug about the punishment and its...results...she leaned back against the desk, and waved her hand in a dismissive gesture. “Now...why have you decided...you must tell me such important information now? Have you seen a prophecy concerning me, or one of my students?” she broke the silence, getting straight to the point. Her blue eyes on him, her lips curved into that...sinfully tempting smile of hers...there was no denying that Nilsa was a breath-taking, stunning woman...one who could have every man falling onto his knees in front of her, if she wished. One leg lifted...the robes parting to expose quite a bit of a slender thigh before it folded over its partner.

Kristopher Royal was a solitary man, one who preferred the quiet to noise...especially of late. His golden eyes drifting closed, he remembered his days as Auror...and of the day his entire world turned upside down. A light breeze stirred the man’s black hair, making several strands sway over his closed eyes...and brush over his cheeks. Night has fallen hours ago, casting a navy blue blanket over everything. There was no accursed sunlight...for it was now starting to make his skin itch, and his eyes hurt. Stars twinkled in and out of existence high above, and for a moment he studied the brilliant display...not bothering to name any, but simply enjoying their celestial beauty.
Below this open space was a classroom, which tomorrow he will begin teaching students. It was a rather... interesting, and frightening thought, yet a reality nonetheless. Kristopher forced his gaze from the sky above, casting his eyes over the Forbidden Forest and the land beyond. Not long after, he found himself heading downstairs...where various noises were echoing off the stone walls. His fingers tightened around the silver flask, and hid it within the folds of his robes. He has not yet taken the potion...for really, taking the potion was admitting that he was one of them. "Who goes there?" came his deep, rumbling voice. There was a stern note in the syllables, and it was difficult to see him, since shadow clung to the man like a cloak.
Realizing that it was a student -albeit, a scantily-clad female one-, Kristopher relaxed...though not completely. The shadows released its hold when he stepped forward, revealing a strong, firm jawline... golden eyes, and hair black as midnight. His hands were hidden, yet there was no mistaking the muscles underneath his robes. "You should be in bed," he told the young student. "It's late, and classes start tomorrow."

"Fascinating..." Holiday breathed, tracing her fingertips over the runes before slowly, reluctantly, pulling the hand away. A light pink spreading along the girl's cheeks, not clashing her fiery red hair, but rather, emphasizing it, she followed him down and through the hallway. It was not only the glowing band of runes she found so...interesting. His muscles were thick...bulging, even, and that quiet strength was only made apparent whenever she was touching his bicep. Why does it make me so...happy, that he didn't invite this other girl to the potions chamber...and that he wasn't interested in her attire? Wondering what Archon thought about her, Holiday was about to speak up and ask that very same question...when they reached the Potions Chamber. It was just how she remembered it. Through another door, and she was in a personal lab, with shelves wrapping the stone walls, a cauldron placed in its center, several tables and benches, potions held in cabinets.
Holiday's eyes snapped back to him at the question, and her heart quickened at the endearment. Little lion... It didn't exactly help that he gave her a little smile while saying it... that sort of smile that said he knew something and she didn't. The girl's green eyes glowing much like a cat's would in the darkness, she followed him to the podium and started nibbling on her lip. Unfortunately...she had a pretty good idea what Amortentia would smell like to her... Mostly a mixture of dark spices, an underlying smell of danger and sunshine...and perhaps a touch of something else. "Professor, why don't we try and make a potion I haven't done before?" she asked, now flashing him a rather smug look. "You've gone over Felix Felicis, Elixir to Induce Euphoria...and Amortentia last year. Challenge me a little bit." Potions was one of her favorite classes, after all.
Fiery red crackling over her shoulder, numerous strands falling to lay against her cheek, Holiday stuck her tongue out at the man playfully. Her chin cheeky, it wasn't but a heartbeat later that she was resting her arms along the podium's top, stretching to take a look at the tome. Her breasts strained against the tank top she was wearing...making it rather obvious their lush shape and weight. "What else do you have in this musty book of yours?"

Synclair did his final rounds, making sure that everything was in its place. Of course his mind did wander at times...but late into the night, he was finished. Hopefully class tomorrow will be interesting and entertaining for the students... His lips curving into a smile, the man stretched his arms high above his head, his shoulders popping and bringing a bittersweet relief. With a groan he ran a hand through his hair...making dark brown stick up in the back while he moved back towards his cabin.
