"Err,"Adam bit his lower lip softly and looked at Abby. "Nothing really interesting,"he said slowly. "I guess I've been working with.... lizards. Like I said, not really interesting,"he said, rapidly and glanced up at her. Did she buy it? He grinned at her, half-heartedly.

She raised her eyebrows, smirking up at him. "I'm guessing lizards as in Dragons?" she said with an attempt at an innocent tone,which for her was slightly frightening. After being quiet giddy after her brothers death, an innocent tone wasn't really expected from her...

He felt his cheeks turn a bright red color as he nodded. "I guess you could call them that,"he laughed, nervously. "Yes. Dragons. Not as exciting as dealing with troublesome Potter-Tripp kids. But still dragons. They're not all that bad, actually,"he added, softly. "A bit tempermental, but they're allright."

"Ha, believe me, their are times I wishing I was teaching them," Abby muttered bitterly. "But, that acctually sounds prety good. A lot less suprissing than my occupation, unfortantly," she sighed.

"Surprising?"He raised an eyebrow, crossing his arms across his chest. He shifted his weight to his other foot again. Grinning slightly, he leaned against the wall. "How? Pray tell?" This should be interesting. He chuckled, softly to himself.

She raised her eyebrows at him for a moment. "Oh don't tell me you have pictured me teaching little six year olds? When I was still in Hogwarts, er, lets just say I wasn't the kind of person everyone liked. Hell, my family still treats me like that at times," she said in a rush, feeling like she was back with the twelve year old Fiona at a psychiatrist seasion...

Adam chuckled again. "Actually, I have a limited imagination. I didn't exactly picture you teaching little kids, that's for sure. Not saying that you're not capable of the profession,"he added quickly, eyebrows raised. "And as for your family. Well, I find it rather hard to believe your family would treat you... differently than other families treat their children."

"Ha! I'm not talking my parents, though I haven't seenthem in years...But I wasn't the greastest tomy family-and why I'm telling you this?" she asked, more to herself than to Adam.

"Because you've been keeping it all to yourself all these years and no one seemed to care enough to ask you what was going on in your life?"suggested Adam. The words flowed out of his mouth rapidly. Huh. Maybe those years in a Muggle college weren't such a waste after all. He gave a shrug.

Those words hit Abby like a wrecking ball and she stumbled backward slightly. Her face was calculating something. "Hmmm...Sadly your getting more out of me than that psyco twelve year old I was sent to baby sit so I could teach. She thought she was a bloody psychatrist! And decided to do a bloody theropy session," Abby said, rolling her eyes.

"Well, I'm not surprised. A few people find themselves spilling their guts out at children who don't understand a word they're saying,"he shook his head. "I'm probably getting more out of you because we're closer in age than you and your little niece,"Adam chuckled. "Speaking of which. Your niece sounds a lot like her mother. I do need to go visit Kat soon. I haven't seen her in ages,"he added, more to himself.

"No the girl wasn't my neice. I was just stuck with the girl for the weekend," she groaned. "And you are probably right about the age thing....About Kat...Well, I'm slightly affarid to visit her. Who knows what she will do when she finds out I'm teaching her kids..." she said thoughtfully.

"Oh, whoops. Sorry. I guess I'm not as careful a listener as I thought I was,"he said, quickly. A smirk slid across his face, as he stared out the window, then back to Abby. "She doesn't know you're teaching her children? That's.... pric--Err... Odd,"Adam said, quickly disguising his snigger with a cough.

"She doesn't yet...And I don't want to be around her when she finds out, frankly," Aby noted, a small shiver running down her spin."I might not make it out..."

"Is it really that bad?"asked Adam, raising an eyebrow. "I can't see Kat murdering anyone because they're her children's teacher. Well, actually I ca-No I can't,"he said, quickly, hiding his doubt. "She's...fairly reasonable."

"Oh you know you can,"she smirked. "YEah, Kats made it quite clear she doesn't want me near her children unsuprivised," she muttered darkly.

Adam bit his lower lip. "Heh,"a half-hearted smile appeared on his face,"You weren't kidding when you said your family and you didn't have an exactly wonderful relationship." After a moment of silence, he continued. "Would you like me to talk to her?"he asked. "I could try reasoning with her."

She gave a small laugh. "No, but thank you...She'll find out...Eventually...Anyway, enough about Kat planning on murdering me," she said with a dark chuckle.

Adam blinked several times. He chuckled, softly. "Right. Onto other happier topics," he trailed off. "Well... Er--"he paused. "Any ideas?"he grinned, sheepishly.

She chuckled. "See I was kind of hoping you had a happier topic," she sighed.

"Well, I really can't think of anything at the moment,"he answered, bowing his head, slightly.

"Great, our only conversation is of Kat killing me," she said with a dark chuckle, rolling her eyes.

"Well, I'm sure we could find some other bleak subject to discuss,"he smirked. "Errrrr.. Quidditch teams!"Adam said suddenly. His eyes lit up. He had been doing some research on Quidditch -as nerdy as that sounds- while in Romania. Charlie Weasley ahd been a great resource.

She laughed. "I'm already sold on Ireland and Puddlemore United," she smirked. "Those are my teams..."
