Part Four
    Susannah plopped down next to Remus at the teacher�s table, �Morning Susannah, you�re all dressed up.�
    �Morning Remus, on first days of anything I dress up, adds to my confidence if I look good I guess,� She replied, flashing him a smile and began immediately to put food on her plate. Remus smiled, happy to see Susannah happier than she was at dinner, �Well, you�re eating well thing morning.�
    �I usually don�t eat breakfast, but I didn�t have a large enough dinner last night. Here you go Andriel� the last part directed to the psuedodragon sitting on her lap who caught of whiff of breakfast and poked her head over to table to take the piece of bacon Susannah offered her. Remus took notice of Andriel and his eyes widened in wonder and delight, �Is that what I think it is Susannah?�
    �Naw, she�s a psuedodragon, but she sure does look like a baby one doesn�t she,� she replied through a smiling mouth, liking to show off any of her pets, she lifts Andriel�s tail so Remus could see the spikes, �See?�
    Remus answered, interest sparking since he never heard of Andriel�s species before now, �Whoa, I�ve never seen anything like her, can I, can I study her?� Susannah raised her eyebrow and Andriel lifted her head, the psuedodragon mindspoke, ~Well why don�t you ask me yourself?~
Remus brought his head closer to Andriel�s, �She can talk!�
     �Mindspeak actually, she doesn�t have the muscles to actually talk, she can make noises to communicate too,� at that moment, Andriel made a chirping noise and gestured her head towards Susannah�s untouched cup, who picked it up and placed in front of her pet, �Are you thirsty? This tastes funny so I�m warning you beforehand,� and placed the cup closer and Andriel immediately began to drink the pumpkin juice up.
     The large man walked up to the table and the empty chair on the other side of Susannah, Remus noticed him, �Hagrid! You�ll never guess what Susannah has in her lap!� Both Susannah and Andriel turn their head, almost in unison, to look at Hagrid.
     Eventhough both girls tilted their heads so their vision would include even the tallest of a human's face, they still had to advert their eyes upward to view Hagrid's. The giant moved and tilted his head around, try to get a good view of Andriel, who was mostly hidden by her 'misstress.' "What doez you have ther Madame?" In answer the psuedodragon slithered out onto the arms of both the chairs of Susannah and Hagrid's, purring at the idea of being the complete center of attention. "Aye!" the giant exclaimed, "its a lit'le dragon!" he continued, reaching out his hand.
     Susannah caught her breath, she didn't know how her 'pet' would react to the large man reaching for her. But the worries were ill founded, for Andriel moved both into his hand and fully on the arm of his chair, her rumbling increased greatly as she was petted. "She actually a psuedodragon. . . apparently." Remus informed his bigger friend, a very large grin was mirrored on both of their face, "Susannah and Andriel are going to me about her. . . could Hagrid come too?" Remus directed the question to Susannah.
     ~Wrong person to ask again.~ "I'm sure Andriel wouldn't mind if the entire world came to learn about her." ~Of course! I would be cruel and evil if I sopped anyone from learning about ME~ The madam glared at her 'familiar' who just contined to be petted by Hagrid. "Anyway. . . when do you want these 'lessons' to start?"
     " 'Ow about after classe today?"
     "That would be great! Susannah and I end the day together, you can meet us in my classroom."
     Hagrid nodded, excited and spending more time with Andriel ~I guess that will be satisfactory~
     "I can't think of anything else I would be doing, guys."
     "Then it's set'led. . . we 'ave to leave now if we ar' to get ther' before the students."
    Remus, Susannah, and Andrie walked with Hagrid out of the Great Hall and to the farest possible point before parting. Remus went ahead of the girls and lead them to his classroom. He opened the door and let the women walk in ahead of him into a room full of boxes and piles of boxes. "I thought today we could umpack nd organize my stuff. . . Sorry I didn't tell you in the letter, if you want to change now. . ." He trailed off, Susannah had already walked over to a box and opened it up to see it's contents. Andriel had jumped onto the teacher's desk and curled up to take a nap.

     "Um. . . Susannah?" the woman cooed and looked up in answer, "You're dressed rather nicely, don't you want to change?" She shook her head and shrugged, "Not really, unless you have something that would totally destroy the dress, no."

     From Remus's reaction she could tell he didn't have anything that bad and she put her head down and went back to work and Remus joined her. The time flew by quickly but together they got plenty done. While Remus continued to work and Andriel continued to nap, Susannah went to the next teacher who she was scheduled for.
