Gentlemen, calling your penis your wand is not cute, funny or attractive. Find a different term, and thank me for the advice later.

I would not call those who think such is funny or attractive, 'gentlemen'.

We are agreed on that. However, I find there's no call for me to be rude about such a thing. I try not to stoop to levels I disapprove of. [ Or at least not when her students are watching. ]

How very honorable of you. Ms...?

Professor Minerva McGonagall. Please, Minerva will do. And you are?

Oh, I do prefer Professor McGonagall. I am Jericho Barrons. [Plus, Barrons never calls anyone by their first name unless he knows them very, very well.] May I ask what you are a professor of?

Transfiguration, at Hogwarts School.

[ It being the first time she's spoken openly of magic in a serious capacity (wands nonwithstanding), it comes out a bit brittle. Still getting used to being frank about the magical community, of course.

With what she's lived through, she might consider this a great step in the direction of working with the new community she's forced to be a part of. The next part is said with a little sadness, maybe even longing. ]

However, as I don't have classes here, I suppose I may not technically be one anymore.

Transfiguration. Well now, isn't that interesting.

It is my understanding that there is a school here within the City. I'm certain there would be any number of those who would be interested in learning Transfiguration.

Transfiguration is advanced and dangerous, Mr. Barrons. Outside of Hogwarts, I'd find myself rather irresponsible were I to teach just anyone who chose to attend.

That is a response I had not anticipated. Bravo, Professor McGonagall.

It's hardly something that needs praise so much as a pinch of common sense. I'm glad to see you understand my point of view.

Though you have given me hope, perhaps, to continue studies with the students here that I once taught. I assume this university is located on the map of the City?

[Oh he likes her... so far. That could change at any moment. Jericho is very fickle about these things where mortals are concerned. Best not to get too involved since they all die.]

I suppose it would be, yes. May I ask how you have come to know so much about such a topic as transfiguration?
