~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Storm waited patiently as the student took their seats. She cleared her throat and waited for them to all quiet down.

"Good afternoon." She greeted.

There were a few murmurs of greeting.

She raised an eyebrow, "Well, I'm Professor Riddle, I'll be teaching you how to defend and recognize the dark arts. Today I want to be a get to know you day. As it is this is my first year and I'm sure it's going to take me a while to get names down. I thought I would tell a little about myself and then each of you could tell me your names and a little about you."

There were a few groans. Storm's eyebrow rose again, "Or we could begin the first chapter today."

The room was quiet.

"Don't everyone speak at once." Still no answer. She shrugged, "Okay then everyone open you-" she stopped in mid sentence as someone rose their hand.

"yes?" she asked.

"My names Thomas McGiffion. I would like to know more about you." The boy said quietly.

She looked around the room, "who agrees with Mr. McGiffion?"

Most of the class rose there hands. She smiled, "All you had to do was say so. One of the rules of my class room, never be afraid to speak your mind, or disagree with me."

The class smiled and looked at each other in a -this-should be interesting kind of way.

She leaned back against the front of desk, "Well then lets see. My name as you know is Storm Riddle, though out of school policy you have to call me Professor Riddle. I've grew up in the United States in a small town in Texas. After I graduated from a University there I taught both muggle and magical school for few years before starting my exploration of the world. I've encountered many magical creatures, and have the scars to prove it." The class laughed slightly. "Okay, now your turn, I want you to tell me your name, and you can ask a question or tell me something about you, or both."

A girl with long blond hair raised her hand.

Storm nodded at her, "Okay."

"I'm Kendell Steward, I was wondering if you're married."

Storm laughed, "Strait for the personal like huh?"

Kendell nodded.

"No, I'm not married, nor is there a significant other."

Someone else rose his hand, this time it was a boy with curly brown hair.

"Jack Dean, Would you date a student?"

The class laughed.

Storm fought the urge to roll her eyes," No, I do not date my students."

"What about your co.-workers?" someone called out.

"I had no idea you would be so interested in my love life." She said dryly.

"That's what we're here for." Kendell said lightly.

Storm laughed, "Of course, you have nothing better to do?"

Kendell sighed dramatically, "Hogwarts is soooooo boring. It's all we can do to entertain ourselves."

The class laughed again.

"I see. Well my love life is next to non existent, so I wont prove to be much fun."

There were sarcastic awes from the class and Storm shook her head.

"Anything else?"

" What's the most dangerous thing you've done?" someone else asked.

Storm thought about it for a second, "I think it's a tie between the werewolves and dragons. Though the giants were a pretty nasty thing as well."

The class looked at her interested.

"uh uh those stories are saved for the lessons."

The class awed again.

"Can't we here just one?" Jack asked.

Storm shook her head.

"Please!" the class, said together.

Storm laughed, "alright, alright." She tapped her wand to her chin in thought.

"It was two years ago, "she began, "I was deep in the South African jungles. There had been reports of darsteeds attacking the villages and a group of us were called to stop them…"
