day-dreaming with @crxdan

maybe if she didn’t sleep in his class all the time then she would’ve realized it sooner. maybe if she looked up at the professors during meals she would’ve seen him. maybe if she stopped and paid attention while running down the halls she would’ve ran into him. somehow in the time that he has been here, she just didn’t even notice in presence, if she did, she would’ve realized that she knew him. 

it was only by luck that she even saw him today. her eyes thinking that it was some sort of trick at first, an mirage created by her mind due to the fact that she would be forced to leave her safe haven soon for summer vacation and she was desperately trying to find her safe place again once she did part from the grounds of hogwarts. 

but it wasn’t a trick at all, he was actually there. at hogwarts. her safe place outside the castles had somehow found his way onto her home away from home as well. without thinking much about it, she bounds up to him with a bright smile on her face, getting into step with him, her mentor who helped her overcome so many things after the death of her mother, her savior. 

“professor,” she starts, the smile growing wider upon her face at that word, having never thought that she would ever be personally calling him that, “i’m still slightly confused about the concepts that we learned about in class today, would you mind going over them again for me?” if he remembered her at all, he would know that statement was a lie. transfigurations has always been one of her strongest subjects and he would know that. after all, it was he who had helped and taught her what she knew all those years ago. 

Daniel had noticed her ever since the very first day he put his foot on Hogwarts ground as a professor. Because the girl didn’t seem to want to talk to him, he respected her space and kept himself as just as a professor. He could understand that it would be very weird to have a professor as a close old friend.

He quickly got used to this kind of situation between them and stopped bothering the fact she would always ignore him. It was because of that reason, that the professor was surprised when the younger girl looked for him after class.

First, he actually thought she had a question. If she didn’t talk to him before, she might have been forced to now thanks to something she probably didn’t catch during class. But it didn’t seem like the case.

After thinking for a moment over the girl’s question, he slowly came to realize she was actually happy to talk to him, as a friend. “That’s incredibly unusual, Elizabeth.” The professor starts, a smile of his being offered to her as well. “I’m pretty sure I saw you execute the spell with perfection during class. And I doubt very much a witch like you would have done it by accident.”

He offered her a playful smile, happy with the familiar feeling they shared. “I take pride in my pupil, she can’t just let me down right now.” He chuckles lightly.

He follows him towards the coffee shop, about to bump into him when Daniel stops to look around the surroundings. David continues to watch his best friend take pictures like a tourist and follows him closer to the small cafe. ‘Maybe he should also take some pictures for his older sister’ 

David frowns slightly at their remark of him being called an old lady. He rolls his eyes at him, entering the cafe. “Tea is a lot better than coffee, especially if you don’t have a black hole somewhere in there.” David points at Daniel’s chest and pushes them gently before chuckling. “I’m just kidding, Daniel. Don’t take that too heart.” 

He nods and continues to follow him to the table close by the window. “It’s nice. I hope the drinks and small eats will be nice too.” He smiles slightly, opening the small menu to check out the many items that were being offered at the cafe. 

                                    .・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

“Ouch.” Daniel frowns at his best friend’s remark about him, but his expression quickly fades to give place to a warm smile, followed by a laugh. “You really don’t know how to mock someone, do you?” The professor widens his smile even more, thinking his friend was super cute. 

After scanning the menu for some seconds, Daniel chose whatever sweet looked the most different from his country, then picking a latte to have together with it. He also waited for David to choose his and then both men did the order. 

While waiting for their food to arrive, Daniel kept looking around and taking in the details. “I really like this place... Should we take pictures of each other to keep as a memory?” He asks, taking his phone from his jeans pocket. “Like the students do!”

David opens his mouth, then closes it again. Daniel was right, David should at least know what his older sister likes and not like. However, he was not married to her, nor was he close to her as they were when they were younger. His relationship with his older sister was just there, compared to his younger sister.

“It’s better if you, as the husband of my sister, buys something from the heart.” David chuckles softly and reaches over to put his hand on the other’s shoulder, “it’s better that way, don’t you think?” 

He sighs softly, glancing at the direction that Daniel was pointing. “I guess.. Do you prefer coffee over tea?” David purses his lips, deep in thought, “I mean… I would prefer tea over coffee but whatever you prefer.” He smiles and starts to head towards to the cafe, “I guess they would have some local delicacy. If they didn’t… We could try another place.”

                                      .・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。. 

Daniel didn’t hesitate on crossing the street to reach the peculiar coffee shop, but still checking the surroundings just in case there was any other place standing out as well. He grabbed his camera again to snap a picture of the place before making his way into it. 

“Tea? Are you an old lady or something?” Daniel says mockingly, with a small childish smile. “I’m pretty sure they serve tea here, don’t worry, Mrs.” He chuckles, opening the door for the other professor to enter first, then entering the place too and taking in the vibes. 

“It’s really nice in here.” He says with a smile, photographing everything in his sight. “Should we check the menu? I just got excited about this place.” 

Offering his best friend a smile, Daniel picks a table close to the window, feeling a small sense of coziness in the foreigner place. Everything was set with a rustic floral vibe, and yet, it felt extremely comfortable. “I like this place already.”

He wasn’t that pleased with leaving the astronomy towers, but it was probably better for him than to see his younger sister giving death glares at his best friend if they were to come for the annual family dinner. He did enjoy the fact that he was able to spend more time with his best friend. David could probably start teaching Daniel what kind of stars they were able to see on this side of the hemisphere. 

It wasn’t abnormal for them to go on their occasional “bro date,” with each other. David did post a couple of pictures that he managed to take of Daniel onto hooters. However, it did make him wonder how other users were able to write something along with their picture. Maybe he could ask Daniel how to do it since he wasn’t that smart with technology. 

David glances at him, “Why should I be the one paying attention to what you should give to my sister?” He chuckles softly, and stops as well, watching him takes pictures, “Aren’t you her husband? Shouldn’t you know what’s best for my sister?” 

                                       .・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

Daniel remains silent for a while, capturing the city life with his lenses in some pictures. When he finally looked up from his camera, the took a moment to actually sink in his best friend’s words to finally answer him.

“Aren’t you her brother? You've known her your entire life, you should know her better, right?” He says in a calm tone, putting his camera aside to keep on their slow walk. “I guess if something catches my eye, I’ll now.”

There was a pleasant silence between them after that, but Daniel smiled, just taking in the chill air in the presence of David. “Should we grab a coffee? I heard there are a lot of nice coffee shops around this area.” The Transfiguration professor points to the other side of the street, where a place stands out thanks to its vibes. “Do you think they have some local delicacy that we get to try? That would be fun.”

“If I ask you to kill me, it means I greatly respect and admire you.”

“I, for one, say that fire solves a lot of problems. Most problems, in fact.”

“It’s better to die fighting than cowering in a corner.”

“Go ahead. Tell me. Tell me what you really think of me.”

“That won’t work on me anymore.”

“Sometimes I wonder if it’s possible for the soul to die.”

“Hey, you wanna know something?”

“I have to tell you. I have to, or it’ll fester inside me until I can’t take it anymore.”

“Why are you like this?”

“What’s wrong with me?”

“What did you do?”

“And then I suppose we’ll forget all about it and act like it never happened? Yeah, sure.”

“End this. Kill me. Stop me before I do something I’ll regret.”

“I don’t deserve your kindness.”

“Well that was a complete waste of time.”

“You’d think at this point I’d get used to seeing stuff like that, but no. It still gets me.”

“Once you’ve been through that much, shouldn’t you be numb? Why do I still feel?”

“You are the best person I’ve ever met.”

“Thank you. For doing what you did. How can I repay you?”

“No. It’s fine. It’s always fine. Please leave.”

“I don’t usually say this, but in this case: yikes.”

“Capitalism is alive and well in our communist paradise.”

“I’m gonna need some vodka. No, scratch that. I’m gonna need a lot of vodka.”

“I want to protect you. I promise I won’t leave.”

“We knew how this would end.”

“It’s so easy to destroy and condemn the ones you do not understand. Do you ever wonder if it’s justified?”

“Fairness! Still she talks of fairness. What does fairness have to do with any of this?”

“The people curse my name and pray for you, but you’re the one who was ready to abandon them.”

“You know just who I am. Don’t be so distant.”

“When you’re lost I am solely there to share your grief.”

“Am I losing my mind? I am not afraid, my dear.”

“All becomes clear, but no one will hear my testimony.”

“Accuse me, fool me; take all my pain away, my friend.”

👽  –– Do you believe in aliens? Do you believe there could be life on other planets, no matter how small?

“Interesting.” The professor starts, placing his fingers over his chin to think about it. “I don’t think so, or else they would have tried to contact us before, right? Unless they are very small, so they can’t... But that’s hard, isn’t it? Wouldn’t we have figured it out before?” He chuckles, nodding his head to convince the other.

🎃  –– What was your first Halloween costume that you can remember? How old were you when you stopped trick or treating?

“That’s an easy one! I was Batman!” He chuckles as he notices how silly it sounded. “My parents wanted me to mingle with muggle kids, so I would always go out for trick or treating. I stopped when I was 10 for... Reasons.” The professor clears his throat but flashes a small smile.  

💍  –– Do you want to get married someday? If you are married, did your wedding go as you imagined it would?

“I am married, actually.” Daniel smiles and nods, comfortable to talk about it. “It was a bit messy and had some drama just a little before the official wedding, but everything worked out in the end. I believe we are not a fancy couple, but we’re still pretty much newlyweds, so we live happily and life is good.”

🐾 - trip’s outing.

🐈 @crdavid

Daniel thought the trip was entirely for the students and that he and the other professors would have to work for the school during their vacation. He was pleased to notice, though, that wasn’t the case. The headmaster was kind enough to give professors a lot of free time for themselves, and Daniel was happy in the end. 

Teaming up with his best friend, David, the two men were out through New Zealand’s streets for a bro date. They were clueless about tourism in the area, so they just opted for walking aimlessly and taking in the local life. 

“If you see something I could take home as a gift for your sister, lemme know,” Daniel speaks mindlessly, before stopping to take a picture of a building by the other side of the street. “She’ll kill me if I go back home without gifts.”

🌂 –– How do you feel about rain? Do you immediately run for cover or are you okay getting wet while out in it?

Emoji Headcanons | Not accepting

“Rain doesn’t bother me.” The professor starts with a soft nod, his reply sounding a bit lazy. “I don’t mind getting wet. But the consequences are what refrain me from staying under the heavy rain.” He points out with a chuckle. “I don’t like being sick, because it means I can’t work nor leave my bedroom, and to me, this is the worst nightmare. So to answer your question: I immediately run for a cover.”

EYE OF THE TIGER.

                                      ｡☆✼★━━━━━━━━━━━━★✼☆｡

the hufflepuff rubs his eyes a few times until he is certain the only conclusion he’s getting from this are extremely pink sclera. it’s not a dream nor is he tired enough to start hallucinating a tiger of all things in the middle of the hallway. he thinks.

while cecil’s mother had often been fond of telling him muggle stories along with things about his father, cecil admittedly dd not want to become an obvous protagonist of one. maybe the secondary lead away from the spotlight if he had to pick. but meeting a tiger reminded him of that one legend. which meant he was positive it implied that cecil was now been given the spotlight.

which also meant he had to figure out what to do next. did it intend to eat him? did it intend to make him a new favorite toy? with the way he was being eyed, cecil doesn’t think so. the tiger actualy looked somewhat hopeful, tempting him to come closer. so the hufflepuff didn’t quite understand what was going on at this point, but he was getting some weird vibes. which he probably shouldn’t follow but cecil does anyways because what’s probably the weirdest thing about this day is that he’s actually communicating with a dangerous creature.

slowly, cecil slides a cautious step over. then he shuffles a bit. then another brief slide until he is right in front of the creature. tilting his head, cecil stares the creature in the eye meekly before asking, “are you going to take me somewhere?

Daniel is extremely comfortable in his tiger form, probably more than he is in his own human form. Especially since walking around the castle as a tiger was a faster way to reach places, and it also avoided him being too tired from running to a place to the other. 

Since he was used to turning into a tiger during classes when students were to write and he would only watch them, he expected everyone to be aware the giant white tiger was a professor. He doesn’t get many looks from students when he passes by, and instead receives some pats, so he just assumes everyone knows it’s him. 

A moment later, though, the professor noticed a student that seemed hesitant about him. Since Daniel couldn’t recognize him well, he decided to wait for the boy to approach first, not wanting to scare him. The boy’s enchanted expression amused the professor, who wasn’t sure if he was supposed to turn back into his human form or not. 

When the student was close enough, the question was made. So Daniel laid down without hesitation, expecting the other to climb on his back to take him wherever. Maybe by the end of the sudden stroll, he could tell the other the truth.

crlianna:

🌊 @crxdan : starter call prompt: dinosaur

she needs help with transforming a certain object into something, therefore she decides to stay behind class to ask her transfiguration professor some questions. once the students were gone, she jumps out of her chair, leaving her textbooks on the table and walks over to him. 

“professor jang.” she smiles slightly at him, “i have a question, how do you transfigure…” lianna takes out a small charm and places it on his desk, “how do you transfigure this into like… say a dinosaur, maybe a figurine kind of dinosaur. can you teach me this?” her eyes widens slightly, “if i’m able to master in turning this charm into a dinosaur, will you be able to give ravenclaw some extra points?” 

Daniel dismissed the class ten minutes earlier and was hoping this time would do good for him so he could grab a snack for himself. That would have been a great idea if that one student wouldn’t have waited for everyone to leave and then approach him with a question. 

The professor sat by his desk and started quietly organizing his stuff, but still listening to whatever she wished to say. Word after word he just nodded, but as things started shaping into her wishes, he stopped doing his own stuff to now face her. 

“You see, Miss Do.” He starts, very uncertain and with a small frown forming on his face. “A figurine dinosaur, of course, you can. Not a real dinosaur, and probably not a life-size figure as well. And that’s very interesting of you, I admit.” He smiles, intrigued by the nature of that request. “I can teach you the theory, and if you manage to execute the spell perfectly, I’ll be very kind to Ravenclaw.” 

[crxdan-blog]

She spots the white tiger at their usual spot and she skips towards them before jumping on it's back. "I had the most horrible night last night." She frowns slightly, sitting beside it and plays with it's hair, "I really dislike professor jang. He's the worst, taking people's happiness and ruining everyone's lives! I wish he didn't do that at all." She sighs quietly, "I'm glad that I can say this to something. It's nice." She turns to it, "I got to write an essay now. Stay with me?"

Walking around the castle in his tiger form was the fastest way to go from a point to the other. At that rate, he expected students to be very aware it was him since he enjoys walking around the classroom in tiger form while students do their work. 

Minjoo would never show up at his class, so Daniel wasn’t surprised at all that the girl couldn’t recognize him when she first got a glimpse of his animal form. The girl holds a huge grudge against him for family matters, so the professor decided against telling her about his true identity, in hopes to get to know her better and work on that later. 

 He quietly listens to every word of hers and, even though they are painful, he just casually lick his paws to get rid of the grass stuck on it. He didn’t mind the patting so the professor just stayed there with her while she worked on her essay, patiently waiting for her to leave so he could go back home for the night.

"I'm sorry about my little sister."

An airy laughter filled the air seconds after his best friend’s words were said. Daniel looks up from his beer to David, who was sitting across from him. They were hanging out together at The Three Broomsticks, enjoying the end of the afternoon away from loud teenagers chit chatting and laughing all the time. 

“Why are you sorry for someone else’s actions?” Daniel chuckles quietly, amused by the man’s behavior, that strangely didn’t change at all through the years. “Your sister is not you and you are not her. So she is not forgiven just because you said it.” Raising his brows, Daniel casually sips on his beer again. When he puts the cup down, he just flashes a cheeky smile to his friend.  

[crxdan-blog]

Hello, everyone. I would like to introduce my son, Daniel Jang. He’s awkward but very chill.  Thank you, everyone, for all the warm welcomes, and I hope to be plotting with you all very soon. Under the read more I made a small tldr, but the bio is up here. The facts list is too short, I admit, but I’m not good with words why do I even rp?. Looking forward spending more time with everyone.

Adopted by a pureblood family in hopes he was a muggle, so he didn’t have to leave for Hogwarts

Obviously not a muggle in the end

Kidnapped by his own parents who didn’t want to send him to Hogwarts

Traveled around the world to run away from the Ministry of Magic

Started Hogwarts at the age of 12 because of the whole kidnapping thing

Loved Hogwarts with all his heart

Was a Ravenclaw, quidditch beater, first in class and prefect of his house

After school, he became a researcher and traveled around the world

Wrote two books

Was invited to teach

He’s an animagus, therefore, he expects students to not be startled by a white tiger walking around the corridors

Lives in Hogsmead with his wife, not in the castle

He’s chill. Students don’t have to care much about his classes, he doesn’t either

“You don’t have to do your homework, it’s your house that will not gain points. Your loss, not mine” philosophy. 

Hakuna Matata.
