Closed Catching up

[Professor Killian Borisyuk]

Killian Borisyuk honestly could not wait until he went home for the holidays. It was near time for the exams, and he just wanted to see his girlfriend and their two kids. Kalia was recently born, and that made two kids total. Killian himself was not sure if he wanted any more than that. But if Courtney wanted more, he honestly would give them to her. He was wrapped around her little finger. Anything she asked for, he would do. Killian just had not worked up the nerve to propose to her yet. He had the ring. He had everything planned, but the moment that he was going to ask on their anniversary, she said that she was pregnant with their daughter, so he didn’t.

Now, their daughter was born and no longer a newborn necessarily, maybe he should consider it. If she did not get pregnant again that is. They had protection but nothing was ever 100%. Killian shook his head as he dismissed that thought. He walked in the professor’s common room to make himself some coffee that morning. He desperately needed it. The caffeine would help fuel him for the morning, and no one needed coffee more than he did when it came to dealing with teenagers.​

 

[Ignacio Morales]

There were only two sets of circumstances that lead Ignacio to head towards the professor's common room. The first was for each staff meeting, where he tended to keep to himself, trying to remain polite but undeniably caring more for his day to day work. It wasn't that he disliked socializing with his colleagues and in fact he felt the opposite, but there was something to be said about his dislike of meetings specifically, not wanting to cater to their formality but understanding the necessity in their hosting. The second circumstance was the reason he found himself in the common room that day, seeking out a cup of coffee in an effort to wake himself up, and linger in a sense of calm before the storm that would be his otherwise busy day as groundskeeper.

He wasn't the only groundskeeper at Hogwarts, and could decide between different tasks with the other groundskeepers sharing the role, but that didn't mean he wasn't human, and couldn't spend an entire day working without a cup of coffee to begin his morning. It helped too, to boost his mood when he spotted a friend to drink his coffee with, the friend that morning appearing in the form of Killian Borisyuk. Ignacio smiled, walking to where the coffee was brewed and picking up a mug for himself and later reaching for the pot of coffee. "Morning!" He greeted. "Feels like the end of term, doesn't it?" Ignacio added as more of an afterthought, a comment on his observations over the years of the way the moods of students and professors seemed to change when exams loomed around the corner. He was thankful to be removed from it, not a student worrying about grades nor a professor with the responsibility of the student's good grades on his shoulders.​
