 Louis was determined. He as going to beat Gwen at this bet if it killed him. No regrets. So he'd done what any normal person would have done. He was going to make sure he was able to beat her, no matter what the cost. So he walked through the halls with the parchment he'd been given by the head of his house, humming to himself.

When he reached the office for History, he knocked on the door and waited. Nothing was going to stop him. It was a challenge and there was a bit of Gryffindor in him, after all.

Kiernan was in the middle of marking the first quiz he'd given any of his classes when the knock came. He looked down at the test he was grading, then pushed his glasses up into his hair and walked to the door, pulling it open expecting it to be another professor or maybe one of the Ravenclaws who'd been sucking up to him, not Louis Weasley.

"Hello," he said, regarding the boy with some surprise. "I wasn't expecting you. What can I do for you?"

"Yes. Well. It's me. Surprise." Louis told him as he stepped into the man's office. He looked around and rolled his eyes. Even his office was boring. Could this man be any more boring.

Louis held out the parchment he'd been given. "This is for you. It's my application and all of my referrals to be your assistant in class."

Kiernan looked at the parchment in Louis's hand, then up at the boy as he took it, raising an eyebrow. "You're applying to be my assistant?"

He walked over to his chair, taking a seat and looking through the application. "I was under the impression that I was too boring to interest you," he said, flipping through it and then looking up at Louis. "I have a few Ravenclaws who've expressed interest in the position as well. Why do you want it?"

"Why do I want it?" Louis arched a brow at that and shook his head. "Did you not listen to me on the train when I expressed that this is my best subject?" He asked, frowning a little.

"I plan to be a professor of History when I'm old enough. I'll teach at Beauxbatons, of course." Louis informed Kiernan. "But, it's my ambition. Honestly, I'm the only one in this school that truly qualifies for the job."

"Are you?" Kiernan smiled at Louis. He probably should have been put off by the attitude, but Louis reminded him a lot of a cat. He was tiny and young, but he talked big. "Youre references are excellent, and you do have a history of very good grades in this class."

He put the application down. "So tell me why you think you're the only person in the school qualified for the job? I haven't been teaching you long enough to know on my own."

"No one has as good of grades as I do. I'm only a fifth year and I've got better grades in all of my classes than most of the entire school combined. I've never gotten less than an O in all of my work. You can ask anyone."

Louis looked back at Kiernan. "I have my faults, but I'm driven. And I'm the only person who is going to do this job well. I won't even need a key to help you grade your papers." He paused. "I bet you use a key yourself, don't you?"

"I have your grades," Kiernan told Louis. "I don't need to ask anyone about them. You're good in the subject. I assume your father had something to do with your interest in it. That's good."

He raised an eyebrow at Louis. "Telling me you're not going to double-check marking isn't the way to get the job. Besides, if I did take you on as my assistant you'd only be grading the multiple choice sections of the tests and it's easier on your eyes if you just memorize the right answer number. Essays and short answer questions will be marked by me, at least for the first few months."

Louis arched a brow at Kiernan. He was such a bad professor, he decided. He sat back in the chair and looked back at the man, studying him for a long moment before he shrugged.

"Alright." Louis told him with a shrug. "That's fine. You can hire one of the other applicants. You can get a mindless drone who will do everything you say and who will suck up to you. If that's what you really want. Even if I need the experience, not being your assistant won't ruin my drive to be a better professor than you could have ever dreamed of being." He stood. "Thanks for your time."

Kiernan studied Louis for a moment, then laughed. "So you don't want the job?" he asked. "I read the essay you wrote on the Seventh Goblin Rebellion last year. Binns had it pinned to the wall. It was very good."

He got to his feet, walking to the filing cabints at the other end of the room and flicking his wand to open a drawer, catching the papers that came flying out of it. "I would like an assistant who didn't think I was an idiot and who had a longer fuse than you seem to, but I'd also like one who's genuinely passionate about history, and I think this essay proves that you are." Kiernan took a seat again, flipping through the essay and then looking up at Louis. "Are you concerned about the time you're going to lose with this job? OWLs are coming up for you."

Louis paused and looked back at the man. Was he offering him the job now? He honestly couldn't tell what was happening. He chewed on his bottom lip for a moment and then sat down. He knew that Binns had thought the world of him, even if he was dead. Binns may have been boring, but at least he wasn't distracting like Kiernan.

"Like I said." Louis ran his eyes over the other man, then shook his head. "I've got the best marks in my entire year. Possibly in the entire school. I rarely have to study. I'm the only one of my siblings who didn't come out completely retarded." He shrugged. "Having this job would not come as a problem."

Kiernan snorted. "You must study at some point," he said. "Or at least read. I'll take you on as my assistant for now. If you get over-whelmed when OWLs come, you should let me know and I'll cut you loose for the end of the term. They're important, especially if you want to be a professor."

He put the essay down. "Do you dislike me because I'm replacing your favourite professor, or because I asked you not to smoke on the train?"

That was more like it. Obviously Kiernan was smart enough to know that he was the right choice. Even if he'd come here for the bet, he actually wanted the assistant position. He looked back at the other man and arched a brow at the question.

"I didn't say I disliked you." Louis informed the other man, shaking his head. "I've never said that. I do think you're boring and that, as a man who has traveled as much as you and seen as much as you have, you could be a bit more exciting to learn about. But, you're not."

"Well, it's good that you're honest with me," Kiernan said, laughing to himself. "I hope you're managing to maintain a similar level of self-criticism. It'll help when you become a professor and one of your students tells you you're boring a week and a half into your first semester."

He felt a bit like ruffled Louis's hair. Kiernan was going to have to get a cat to take out that kind of urge on. Something bitchy. "The first thing I'm going to need your help with is finishing the cleaning of the file cabinets. I'm moving files from students who are no longer attending Hogwarts out of the office to clear up some space."

"You have all of that?" Louis asked as he looked around the office and then moved to the file cabinets. He picked up one of the files and blew quite a bit of dust off of it, laughing.

"What's in these?" He asked as he flipped one open. "Do you think my father's stuff is still in here?"

2012-08-05 12:11 am UTC (link)
"Probably," Kiernan said, looking at the files and snorting. "Binns didn't throw anything away. I'm not sure he could, honestly. He wasn't very aware of his surroundings."

He looked at the papers in Louis's hands. "You can look for them if you want. I'm sure Binns kept them somewhere special. He liked to put his favourite students apart from everyone else. Your files were easy to find."

Louis shrugged. "He hated my sister. Charlotte is the worst person at history that I've ever seen. She refuses to pay attention in class, but I'm sure you won't have a problem with her. She'll probably be all cute and smiley with you, because that's how she is around boys she's attracted to."

He rolled his eyes at that, then reached up on one of the stacks. "It's really hot in here." He told him. "Don't you have a charm in place?"

"You don't sound like you have a very high opinion of your siblings," Kiernan said, pulling out his wand and casting a cooling charm on the room. "I don't mind the room being warm. It's cold outside."

He turned back to the quizes he was marking. "If you set aside all the old files I'll move them to one of the storage rooms later. What classes do you like besides History?"

Louis pulled off his blazer and undid his tie, putting it on the back of a chair. He began to look at the files, undoing the buttons on his dress shirt, exposing his undershirt.

"Other classes?" Louis asked and shrugged. "Defense is important. I'll have to work as a curse-breaker for a few years before I can even apply to be a professor. I'll need to know how to defend myself."

"How are you in Runes?" Kiernan asked, looking up at Louis. "And your Arithmancy? You need at least an OWL in that, don't you? I looked into curse-breaking when I was in school, but I'm more interested in the research aspect of history."

He looked Louis over when he started stripping, laughing a little. "Is it really that hot?" he asked. "You can cast your own cooling charms as well."

"I'm fine. I usually walk around in my undershirt." Louis admitted as he pulled off his dress shirt. "I figure I may as well get comfortable if I'm going to help you with this."

He flopped back in one of the chairs, starting to read over the files. "This James person is an idiot. Looks like he pissed his way through his papers."

Kiernan put his glasses back on, beginning to mark again and then laughing at Louis's comment. "If you go through the files I think you'll find that that's not an uncommon strategy. A lot of students don't take History very seriously."

He glanced back at him in his undershirt. "It's probably a good idea not to wear your uniform when you're dealing with those dusty papers anyway. Feel free to wear your casual clothes."

Louis looked up at the other man in the room and shook his head. "It's such a waste. People should realise that we can learn from the past to insure that nothing like this ever happens again. We'll see the signs."

"Don't give me that option. My pants and this undershirt are my casual clothes." Louis pointed out. "I usually lay around naked."

(Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

[info]kiernan
2012-08-05 06:04 am UTC (link)
"Not that casual," Kiernan agreed, laughing. "I was thinking denims and a t-shirt, maybe. I don't think it would be appropriate or very practicaly for you to spend the day working in your pants and undershirt."

Louis was far too young for him to be imagining what he'd look like in his pants. Or naked. Even if he was pretty. Kiernan smiled at him. "As long as some people pay attention to history we have a chance."

"It's just astonishing that some people aren't interested in where they came from." Louis told Kiernan with a shrug. "I don't understand the lack of interest."

He ran a hand through his hair and then rolled his eyes. "This Evan bloke can't draw a penis to save his life."

Kiernan arched an eyebrow at that comment. "What are you looking at?" he asked, moving his chair closer to Louis so he could look at the old file. He laughed at the doodles on the side of the page.

"He obviously didn't think much of History of Magic as a subject." Kiernan tapped the name on the file. "That's an interesting one to keep around. I'm going to be talking to your year about Evan Rosier's rebellion, if I can figure out a way to do it without making life difficult for his son. I might wait until he's graduated and start teaching it when you're in seventh year."

"Evan isn't his son. He's his nephew." Louis pointed out as he looked back at his professor. "I know there's the rumour that the two of them are son and father and that Evan and his sister Christina were incestuous twins."

He shrugged. "My sister is dating Evan Rosier. She spent nearly the entire break with him in France."

2012-08-05 08:35 pm UTC (link)
"There is that rumour," Kiernan said, nodding. "I went to school with the two of them, if I'm being honest. We were in Slytherin together. They were... very close."

He looked at Louis. "But none of that would be in the lecture, especially not while Evan's a student here. He seems like a good kid. His work isn't covered in penis doodles."

"You were in Slytherin?" Louis arched a brow at that and shook his head. "You don't strike me as a Slytherin at all. You're more like... a boring Ravenclaw. Not even one of the fun ones."

Louis thought about the bet he had with Gwen. "You just seem like the fourty year old virgin type, is all. Even if you were married to a woman."

"I think it's very Slytherin of me to masquerade as a boring Ravenclaw professor, honestly," Kiernan said, raising an eyebrow at Louis. "I do tend to keep my private self and my professional self separate."

He laughed when Louis said he seemed like the fourty year old virgin type. "Well, I'm thirty-four," Kiernan said. "And I have also managed to father a child."

"Right. A child." Louis rolled his eyes at that. He looked Kiernan over for a moment, then ran a hand beneath his shirt, touching his own stomach. He propped his legs up on the side of the chair and glanced at the other man.

"So, what happened?" Louis asked Kiernan, arching a brow. "With your marriage?"

(Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

[info]kiernan
2012-08-05 09:42 pm UTC (link)
"We grew apart," Kiernan said, shrugging. He didn't really think he should be taking about his failed marriage with a student, but it wasn't like Louis knew how to mind his own business.

"It wasn't an especially long marriage either," he admitted. "Neither of us regrets it, though. We got Velma from it. They both still live in America."

2012-08-05 09:53 pm UTC (link)
"Velma? What an awful name." Louis laughed and shook his head. "I hope you didn't agree to that name. It's even worse than my name."

Louis ran his eyes over Kiernan. "So you're not gay? I thought maybe she'd caught you with a man or something."

(Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

[info]kiernan
2012-08-05 09:58 pm UTC (link)
Kiernan blinked at Louis for a moment, then laughed. "Do I come off as gay?" he asked. "Is it the hair? She didn't catch me with anyone and she knew I liked men as well as women when we got married."

He looked down at the tests he wasn't marking, then opened his desk drawer and dug for a moment before he found a picture of his ex and daughter, smiling and waving at the camera. "That's them. She chose Velma's name, not me. I wouldn't saddle a child with the name Velma Viiperi."

Louis stood up and moved around the desk. He sat on the corner of it and looked down at the picture. "She's a cute kid. One day, I'm going to have cute kids too. With a surrogate, of course. But, I'm a Weasley. We all fancy having kids."

He glanced at Kiernan. "Do you ever get to see your kid? Is she magical?"

"She is," Kiernan said, looking down at the picture of Velma and smiling. "We've worked out a visitation schedule. She'll be coming to stay with me during the summer, but for now I'll see her some weekends. It helps that we can apparate and use the Floo network to travel."

He put the picture down. "I lived with them while I was getting settled here, so I got to spend Christmas with her. We want the divorce to be easy on her."

"Seems like you're a better father than you are a professor." Louis teased and then looked back at the other man. He smirked at him, reaching up to run his fingers through the man's hair.

"You should let me do your hair one day." Louis told him. "Make you look less gay."

2012-08-05 10:47 pm UTC (link)
Kiernan found it a bit weird that Louis was running his fingers through his hair. He moved away from him just a little. He didn't need a teenager touching him like that. Well. Maybe in some ways he did, but a teenagers shouldn't have been touching him like that.

"Nothing wrong with looking gay," Kiernan said, getting to his feet. He was taller than Louis. It made it even harder for his hair to be touched. "Do you want lunch from the house-elves?"

2012-08-05 10:56 pm UTC (link)
Louis frowned for a moment, looking back at the other man. Was he really so offended by someone touching his hair? He shrugged and got off of the desk, picking up his clothes and stuffing them into his bag.

"It's fine. I'll go to the Great Hall." He told him. "I'll make other people uncomfortable."

Kiernan wasn't going to stop Louis from leaving. He was going to have to keep an eye on Louis and himself, apparently. "Tomorrow after your last class your job as my assistant officially starts," he told the boy. "I'll make sure the cooling charms are functioning."
