But the words Maya and Australia had brought her back. Seren never met Maya Saylen? Staring in disbelief for a moment, she then smiled briefly in understanding. "Oh sorry. Maya was the former Magical Creatures professor. She left just before you got here." Because even in the short time Fina had been there, she'd already evidently seen her fair share of professors resign.
Smiling as her friend seemed to be lost in her thoughts, Seren too distracted herself with her tea. She really ought to plant some more peppermint shrubs in the gardens, or perhaps outside her office window.
Magical Creatures?
"Oh right... how lovely." They must have been close if they still kept in touch... that was rather sweet.
SPOILER!!: Dash

Dash shrugged. Alright then. He would blame her mother. "I quite like your name though. Very unique." This coming form a man who studied history. He knew names. And unique names were like nicknames in their own. Seren could stop being so sad about it.
"Very good thing." Dash murmured. Any teenager and their hormones? No thank you. He didn't want to deal with it. "I detest teenager girls, even when I was a teenager." But back then it probably had something to do with his inability to speak to then rather than the fact that they were just annoying giggly, pink messes. "So how long have you been teaching here Seren?" He stared at her for a second. With all these old classmates he wondered if he had known her long ago as well. "And did you by any chance attend Hogwarts?"
Seren didn't remain disgruntled for long. Dash's appology sounded sincere enough. Smiling she looked up from her tea cup.
"That's fine... really," she started, shaking her head slightly. "
It's probably for the best. I like to help out but after a while I tend to stick my nose in places they don't belong and I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate that." Not many people did. But she did do it out of the kindness of her heart.
Unique... not where she came from. Laughing lightly Seren shook her head,
"Growing up I knew at least three others in my neighbourhood that shared the same name. It's Welsh and it's meaning is Star.. it's not very common, but it did have it's moment." And of course that moment happened to happen at the time of her brith.
He didn't like girls when he was a lad? Well now that was strange.
"This is my second year," she mused, continuing to sip on her tea, enjoying the warmth it offered her.
She could feel him starring at her... why? But it was only seconds later that he asked the question. Did she attend Hogwarts? She looked back at him. He didn't look all that familiar... but it was possible they went here at the same time. Especially possible if he was here at the same time as Althea.
"I did... I was Class of '65, Ravenclaw... And yourself?"
