Once the car pulled dup to the curb Tiernnan got out and pulled his trunk out of the back. Tucking his book into his pocket once more. The charm he had cast on it to make it both lighter and easier to carry made his task much easier as he walked alone into the station with the heavy trunk in his arm. He put it down on a cart and slowly started to casually wheel the cart towards the barrier. He hated being dressed in muggle clothing feeling so uncomfortably out of place. The material of his trousers felt itchy and binding and he despised the necessity. He was already feeling slightly uneasy from the car ride over and wondered idly if he should travel by car more often so the nervousness he always felt in that thing wouldn't cause his stomach to ache quite this much. Sighing he knew he had a potion that would take care of it somewhere in his trunk if he truly wanted to bother with such a thing. The train ride however always thrilled Tiernnan. Although he would probably end up sitting with other teachers so he wouldn't be so oddballish being all alone in his own compartment he probably wouldn't speak much. He was a bit of a loner after all.<br/><br/>As he walked towards the barrier the confines of the trousers compared to his usual robes was enough to drive him insane.<span style="font-style: italic">Ok first thing I'm doing is changing into my robes, this is unbearable how do Muggles manage this?</span>He thought grumpily to himself as he casually walked through the barrier between platform 9 and 10 with nothing more then a shrug at his own annoyed thoughts. Breathing a quick sigh of relief to be out of the muggle world and into his own. Where he was at least a lot more comfortable he walked towards the train.<br/><br/>He couldn't help but remember the first time he'd made this trip. The shear excitement and delight as he bounced along on quick feet running back and forth along the platform laughing and pointing at everything he saw in wonder and excitement. Overjoyed at being here. Excited and happy. Those same feelings of excitement filled the man as much as the boy. Only now, he contained his excitement to a rare smile that curved his lips and removed the stern expression off his face. Alighting his eyes with a dancing light. He was going home.<br/><br/>Tiernnan took the time to unload his trunk into the luggage compartment and return the trolley to where it would be brought back to the main station by a porter later on before turning to see who was already there. Noting that Professor Jordan and Professor Blake were already on the station he walked over to them with a bright smile and a note of greeting in his voice, "Professor Jordan, Professor Blake," he said politely with a nod to both. "I hope you had a good summer?" He inquired politely of both. This was more words then Professor Mortimer had said to anyone the whole of the day and probably the week as well. Tiernnan attempted to be social even though he wasn't quite sure how to manage that one overly well. He rather liked the simplicity of the castle where he could just hide away in his classroom, office or private chambers. Showing up for meals and occasionally going to the staff roof to socialize or the infirmary to see what would be needed and to serve some shifts as a nurse there when needed.
