[Giving it some thought, it might not be a bad idea to get to know some of the students. He may not teach all the Houses, but nothing wrong with getting to know them.

So when he sees Vriska's post, he hesitates only slightly before he writes a reply.]

Hi there. It's been an experience. I'm not from the UK myself, so I've been doing a lot of sight-seeing. How is yours?

[dou8letrou8le]

Where are you from?
It's fine.
Could not 8e 8etter.

[thegluethatbinds]

I'm actually from America.

Sorry, I should've introduced myself first. I'm one of the new professors joining the staff this coming school year. My name is Professor Coulson.

What about you? What's your name?

[dou8letrou8le]

I've never 8een to America.
Is it nice in the summer?
What do you teach?

I'm Vriska Serket. I'll 8e a fourth year.

It depends on which area of the States you live in. It can get pretty hot in Texas and Florida during summer, but the weather is milder in the more northern states.

I'll be teaching Gryffindor and Hufflepuff students Defence against the Dark Arts this year. It's nice to meet you Ms Serket.

[dou8letrou8le]

So where do you live?

You won't 8e teaching me, then.
Pity.

I used to work with the American Ministry of Magic; my work required me to travel, so I didn't really have a set place to stay. But I guess when I wasn't working, I'd be in Portland. It's a city in the state of Oregon, which is in the north west part of the States.

It doesn't mean that we won't bump into each other during the school year. Professor Donaghue's also a better teacher than I am by virtue of experience, so you're not missing much.
