Mattie had only been here two days and already she felt outcasted. She sighed and left the common room alone with Morticia and headed off to go explore.
Walking out passed the crowds she heard several kids talking about her and her family and she did the best she could to ignore it.
With tears in her eyes she finally made it out away from every single person. Morticia was running through the green fields chasing little creatures here and there and it brought a sort of sad smile to Mattie's face.
She hadn't seen Kiami at all so far and she wondered if they would share classes. Would the classes be seperates by house? By years? She didn't know.
She sighed again as she sat in the grass looking out at the lake. It looked so calm and peaceful and she wished she felt as good as it looked.
She laid back in the grass and watched the clouds go by. A few birds here and there but mostly quite. It was nice for the moment. Being in the dorms though made her feel like she was back at the orphanage and that feeling sucked more then she could ever explain to anyone.
Morticia came over and purred trying to lift Mattie's spirit up but it didn't help. She was just down right gloomy at the moment.

"Miss Adamson?" came a voice from behind her. If she turned to look, Ambrose would be walking up, dressed in his professor's robes and quirking a brow. "Are you alright? You're sitting out here alone and your face tells me you are troubled. Something happen?" he asks with concern. This was the DADA's adopted child. If something had happened to her...

Mattie startled as her name was called and she sat up wiping her face. "Um, yes Professor. I'm sorry." she quickly stood feeling quite nervous and almost caught like a deer in head lights.
"Am I allowed to be out here Professor?" she asked quietly. Morticia popped up from a field of grass after wandering off and had no issues walking uo towards the Professor and rubbing against his leg and purring.

Ambrose reached down to pet the purring one and smiled over at Mattie. "I don't see why not. I mean...unless someone told you that you couldn't?" He shrugs and moves to sit next to her. "So...why are you out here looking like you want to raise the water level of the lake with your own tears?"

She smiled softly at Morticia and when the Professor came to sit down where she was standing she turned and joined him.
"It just feels like the orphanage all over again I guess. Kids are mean where ever you go." she says in barely a whisper as she pulls her knees to her chest and probs her head on them looking at the water.

"Hmm....yes. But not all of them, I am sure. Besides..." he looks over at her. "What could they possibly be saying about you? I mean...its only been what, two days? What could they be on about that has you so upset?"

She shrugs her shoulders and stared at the water. "It really isn't about me persay. Just differnet things I guess about father." she lays back in the grass and looks at him for a moment.
"Maybe they aren't really talking about me? I just feel like they are when I walk by or whatever and they stop talking to stare or laugh. And my roommates are nothing but old hens like back home." she sighs.
"Kiami is a good friend, my best actually but she was sorted into Slytherin and I haven't been able to find her. "

"Hmm...your father is Professor Adamson. Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. An interesting member of our staff...but the class does come with a reputation. Then again...so does mine..." He chuckles and looks over. "Can't let what they say go to heart. Otherwise you're just going to be miserable..."

She sighs. "Yeah I guess. It just, I don't know. I thought it would be different then school back in New York." she sits back up and shrugs her shoulder petting Morticia.
"Can I ask you a personal question Professor?"

"You're a first year right? School back in America would be...public school yes? It should be very different here what with all the magic going on right?" he says with a smirk. He looks over at her and quirks a brow. "Of course..."

"It was public school yeah. Though they have a magical school also. But since mom n dad finalized the adoption I get to stay here." sje replies.
"Though I guess I could go there also since mom lives there now." she was probably saying to much and she went back to her other question.
"Why does mom call you Tree Man? I guess her and dad know you but I only met Mar....Professor Kestrel outside of school. But mom told me she calls you Tree Man but she wouldn't tell me why. She said I had to ask myself."

Ambrose blinks. "Your mother...ah. Teagan. Right." He thinks for a moment. "Well...to be perfectly honest? My home has to do with that tree over there..." he says, indicating the Whomping Willow. "Though that's not entirely why. Just...I enjoy trees. Trees and I go hand in hand." He gives her a knowing look. "But I bet that's not the answer you're looking for...is it?" he asked with a smirk.

She looked at him with wonder in her eyes. "You live in a tree?! That's so co...wait isn't the Whomping Willow tree the one that hits everything?"
She smiles when he smirks at her. "And yes mom is Teagan. So she calls you Tree Man becsuse you live in a tree?"

"No...not entirely. Let's just say that trees and I are...integrated." He looks at the girl quizzically and thinks for a moment. "Just what did you talk to your mom about that prompted such a question? Also...hmm...I was wondering why I saw New York..." Just who was this girl that Teagan and Dristan adopted?

Mattie looked at the Professor with and odd stare. "You went to New York?" she asked wondering what he meant about 'seeing' the city.
"Ah well. She showed me her magic when we were in Germany." she said with a bright smile. She promised to say anything more though. She didn't want to tell her mom's secret.
"Dad and mom both showed me magic it was really neat."

"Your father showed you Wizard magic...your mother..." He smirked and glanced over at her before looking around. Making sure no one was around and no one could hear them he turned back to her. "The Box of Hope showed you her Raven, didn't she?" he grins knowingly.

Mattie looked around as Professor Ambrose did. Then she grinned widely. "Yes. I even got to paint her. It hangs above her bed in New York. I love painting. Is there a painting class? Or art class of some sort here?" it is quite obvious she has a love for art.
"She is so pretty. It sucks that she has to hide because of the world. I wish everyone just got along." she adds.

Ambrose nods. "The Box of Hope and I have to hide though. Not just from regular people who wouldn't understand, but from...others. But that's neither here nor there." He smirks. "But yes I am of...her persuasion. I am like the trees. A part of them."

Mattie looked at him with big brown eyes. "Seriously?" she seemed excited and almost bouncy. Was that why Morticia was so quick to like him? Because he was like her mom?
"Do you show us in class like Mar..Professor Kestrel will?"

He shakes his head. "No. Very few people know. I'm going to ask you to please keep my little secret. Sadly, some of the parents may not understand a non wizard teaching their children. Especially one like me." He chuckles.

"Yet they allow a blood sucker here!?! That makes no sense what so ever! She bite's my Dad already. Bet parent's don't know that." she huffs slightly if not even a bit more annoyed then she should be.
"Anyway your secret is safe with me Professor." she smiles softly. "Maybe when I am older and smarter you would trust me enough to show me the Tree Man, Mom speaks of." she pets Morticia as the kitten walks over to Ambrose and jumps on his shoulder brushing her face against his cheek. "I think she is saying she owns you now." Mattie falls over laughing.

Ambrose chuckles and reaches up to scratch behind her ears. "Cats own people...not the other way around." He looks over at the young witch. "Perhaps one day. For now...suffice to say, I am a Tree Man. As for Professor Kestrel, try not to call her a blood sucker ok? Its not polite and she is your professor."

Mattie looks up feeling ashamed about how she spoke just now about the woman who came to helo her father. "I am sorry Professor. Forgive me." she sighs and looks back out to the water.
"I just don't understand how they can allow a vampire, the parents. Mother has beautiful magic and I bet you do as well. Just doesn't seem right or fair."

"Well..it's more about our society. Not everyone on our side likes the idea of me teaching here and being so open about what we are. I am the experiment. I just hope it goes well. I am...kind of like a go between for the wizards and our people. The Headmistress knows..."

Mattie looks at him. "Kind of like how Mary is for her kind and ours?"
"Maybe some day we could talk about? I like to learn and read and listen. And I have special paints, if you ever wanted, I would be honored to paint you." she smiles brightly.
She would sketch him later as it was regardless. She would probably add treea as well. She liked the idea of what she would sketch.

Ambrose smiles and nods. "Maybe one day. We shall see." He runs a hand through his shaggy hair. "So you paint...why not find some others who also paint? Maybe you can start a club or something?" He grins. Would help with the girl's self-esteem if she found people who shared in her interests.

She shrugs. "Maybe. I don't know." she really only had been here two days and yet she was letting everything get the better of her. She sighed.
"I really do love painting and drawing and art in general. It is normally something I've done alone though aside from the woman who was mentoring me and my previous elementary school teacher."

He nods. "Well...tell you what. If you need some private, quiet time to paint, let me know. You can borrow the classroom for a bit when there is off time. How does that sound?" He asks her with a soft smile.

Mattie smiled brightly. "Oh that would be wondeful." she looks at him with glee in her eyes.
"Since you are like trees, can you pass by the tree over there without it hurting you? I saw it smack a poor bird quite angrily. The poor thing seemed okay but it just was surprising after hearing and reading about the tree. I was quite hoping they were exaggerations." she laughs a bit nervously.

"The Whomping Willow? Sure. The Willow and I are friends. I sort of...speak to it. While I'm around and as long as I ask it nicely, the Willow will not attack. But be careful otherwise. It has a nasty habit of not liking anyone being around it." He gave her a smile.
