"It's always good when your passion can be placed into your career." It seemed he was getting to use his portraits for education. Juline understood this since his passion had always been charms. He loved everything there was to know about the subject and he loved to experiment with it. "History was always one of my better subjects, but I always wanted to know more. I enjoyed reading about what had happened, I found it all fascinating and not the least bit boring like most."

"I thought about handing in my letter that night. I couldn't believe I had turned down a head position at my prep school to join this mess." It had settled down since the feast and he was very happy about that, but he was still uncertain how long he would last here if respect and maturity was low all around. "Yes I agree and I will be making sure that manners and respect will be part of my lessons if these students need it."

Interesting. Julien seemed like a rather philosophical man, at least as far as history was concerned. "Sometimes hindsight is 20/20, right?" It couldn't always be known if choices were the correct ones until afterwards once one had perspective. Though if he was talking about progress, Ansley supposed that he could agree that there were good and bad points about that. "I'm glad you're enjoying it. Feel free to stop by anytime." He hoped others would enjoy this room too, but they could stumble upon it themselves to see what it was all about.

Yes, he thought the same about history as well - enjoying it when he was younger, delving deeper into it when he got older. But as the other man finished his thought, Ansley raised an eyebrow. Most? "I'd certainly hope most didn't find history boring." Maybe some, and that could be true about any subject, but he didn't really think most people, or students, found it to be boring. Hopefully he wasn't kidding himself or he'd have his work cut out for him.

Julien had been offered a head position? "Why did you turn it down, if you don't mind me asking?" Perhaps there was something about this job that appealed to him more though. "Yes.. I was wondering if I had made a mistake.." he mused aloud. But hopefully it hadn't been a sign of things to come. He supposed he'd find out for himself soon enough. He nodded. "I plan on making sure respect is adhered to in my lessons as well." It seemed to be lacking from what he had seen at the beginning of the year, but that was not something he tolerated well at all.

Oh, so he knew Benjamin Coombs, Madame Bulstrode's painter! Fascinating. "Do you paint too?" he asked the professor as he started to carry the painting, very slowly, toward the door. The gift of five points for his helpfulness nearly made him drop Ms. Bulstrode, but really only one of his hands slipped, as he turned to beam at the professor. And Davie used his leg to balance her portrait out anyway, so no harm was done. "Thanks, professor!" Well that just made his day.

HISTORY OF MAGIC WAS GREAT.

Moving into the gallery, Davie wondered why he hadn't been in this room before?? Truth be told, he supposed he hadn't been in this wing much at all since last year... and since talking to the Grey Lady. Hmm. After he carried in Madame Bulstrode's painting, Davie thought about uncovering her and asking her what she thought of his essay. But she had also seemed a bit tired at the end of the class, so instead he set her down carefully near some other portraits and then drifted over to look at some of the professor's stuff.

----waaaaaaaaait a second. Was that a COMPLETE Chocolate Frog Card collection?! The second year gasped audibly. Who had collected these? He'd heard of his dad once having a complete collection back when he had taught at Hogwarts, but surely these weren't the same cards? Nahhh, they were probably Finch's. BUT STILL, HOW COOL THAT PROFESSORS COLLECTED CARDS TOO?!??!

Carefully carrying the portrait of Artemesia Timms, Ansley headed out into the corridor with David. "I do paint, actually. Artemesia was the first professional magical portrait I completed," he said, tilting his head in the direction of the painting he carried. And while she had some contribution to history that only some of the students began to touch upon, his fondness for his first painting swayed his decision to include her in today's lesson.

"No.. thank you." Ansley returned the young Ravenclaw's smile. "I appreciate the help, it saves me one extra trip." And perhaps the boy could have a chance to look around in the gallery while he was there. There were a few interesting things there, or at least Ansley thought so. The professor carefully hung Artemesia's portrait in her normal spot on the wall, then glanced over at David who was... not behind him anymore.

He turned fully around and noticed the boy had wandered to another area, seeming to be interested in the set of chocolate frogs. "Feel free to look around, if you want. Anything that is out on display is allowed to be touched." And sometimes hands-on learning was the best kind.
