I'm actually in the UK for work, but I thought I'd drop by to see the castle while I'm at it. I've heard a lot about Hogwarts, it's really as impressive as they make it out to be.

[arrogantalloy]

Yeah, impressive. If you like giant old draughty castles. I mean hey, it's great as giant old draughty castles go.

[Tony shrugs vaguely]

[thegluethatbinds]

Are you here on exchange? I didn't expect to meet many Americans here, if none at all..

[arrogantalloy]

Exchange?

[He shakes his head]

Guess again. I've lived in this country since I was eight. I was normally enrolled like everyone else. Well, mostly.

[thegluethatbinds]

You like studying here? How are the teachers like?

[arrogantalloy]

Now that it's actually a challenge for me? Yeah sure. I could be in worse places really.

As for the teachers, well they're teachers. Really big on the rules and taking away house points for looking like you aren't paying attention, and when you go overboard on spells.

So what kind of business are you hear for? You look like you're out of your jurisdiction.

[Referring to his very secret service looking suit]

[thegluethatbinds]

Well, it is a school. It wouldn't be the same if teachers weren't enforcing the rules.

I work for the Ministry of Magic back in America; they'd like to ask Professor Dumbledore for some advice on how to handle Dark Wizards. The suit is just a personal preference.

[arrogantalloy]

Doesn't mean I have to enjoy that they do it.

[His tone goes dismissive.]

Handling them is easy, you make sure you're pointing a wand at them, and get them to stop holding theirs.

[But then goes back to normal]

Work for the ministry, huh? That must be just a whole bunch of fun. Really, I love the idea of paper work.

[And by normal I mean sarcastic of course]

You'll need a professor to help you with Dumblore, his stone phoenix needs a password.

[Choosing to make that sound fairly vague]

[thegluethatbinds]

You can disarm your teachers?

[He sounds slightly impressed.]

Well, someone has to get the job done. And if that's the case, I don't suppose you could help me locate a professor? I'm not exactly sure who's who at the moment.

[arrogantalloy]

Not that I've had to out side of practical classes. But yeah, you could say I'm really disarming.

Ah...

[Tony looks around to see if any teachers are near by, then shrugs and nods]

Sure, you're a good excuse. Let's go.

[Tony nods towards the big doors and starts walking towards them]

[thegluethatbinds]

[He follows the student, taking in more of the architecture and layout of the school as they head in. ]

[arrogantalloy]

[Walks in a lazy direction towards the staff room, assuming he might run into someone on the way. Stays quiet because he doesn't feel the need to talk.]

[thegluethatbinds]

[He does feel the need to strike up conversation eventually, just to not make things awkward.]

You ever schooled in the States before?

[arrogantalloy]

I was in Middle school before jumped the pond. Really enjoyed metal shop.

[He turned to give the man a grin]

[thegluethatbinds]

You're from a Muggle background?

[To be honest, so is he.]

[arrogantalloy]

Pure blood. Dad just thought it would be good for me to mix with muggles as a kid, and learn what they learn.

My parents both worked long hours all the time, so it was better that I was in school instead of re-proposing things at home.

[It's why he could care less about blood purity in the magical world]

[thegluethatbinds]

Your father sounds like a very open-minded man. Most wizards choose to home-school their children till 11.

[arrogantalloy]

Yeah, I've noticed that. I think it's because I needed the mental stimulation, I'm sort of a genius.

[Tony said that last part in such a casual manner you would think he was talking about the colour of his hair]

[thegluethatbinds]

[If he expected a reaction from Coulson, he's not going to get much. But it would make sense then if the kid was in Ravenclaw; he remembered the guidebook mentioned that Ravenclaws tend to be more intelligent than other students.]

You ever miss the States then?

[arrogantalloy]

I go back every year for hot dogs and and to see muggle games at Madison Square Gardens. So, not really.
