Tiernnan Mortimer was sitting in his study in the upper portion of his home. The large attic room containing nothing but books and shelves upon shelves of them. He gave a wry smile at the place. it was his favourite thing in the whole world to be here. He wold miss this place most of all. He was of course in his mother's home. Being her youngest child he stilled lived there. Even though both Thia and Iris also shared the house he rarely saw the twin girls. Both being usually away somewhere. He knew that Thia was already engaged to be married, to who he had zero idea. He never really kept track. it would be interesting to see what happened to Iris when Thia left. The two were like appendages of each other and couldn't seem to get separated at all.<br/><br/>Tiernnan looked back to the shelves of book in his attic room. His bed set in a very small corner of the room surrounded by bookcases. A chest of drawers set in the middle of the room doubled as his desk and a small table held a large cauldron he often used. His potions ingredients stored in a cupboard that was lined on the outside with more bookshelves. He smiled. Home. It was perfection and he never wanted to leave.<br/><br/>Tiernnan had never dated, and never really knew if he would. He didn't even know what gender he preferred. He simply wasn't interested in anyone. And really never had been. As far as he could tell it would probably take a lightning strike to the head for him to realize a woman was looking at him. He gave a half smile remembering just such an accident. Where his best friend and companion had told him that he was the study of a lovely lady and he'd not even noticed. The two had shared a rather hearty laugh as both boys knew Tiernnan wasn't likely to date. He couldn't help but think about Adrian as it was about a year ago that Adrian had moved off to be with his wife and start their family. Tiernnan missed the man, but he knew life went on.<br/><br/>Grabbing up another half a dozen books off the shelf he went to the trunk already loaded down with books. Frowning he wanted to put at least another dozen if not two dozen books in there. Well he'd just have to use a shrinking spell on them then. Since he still had to pack clothing and various other things. It took him another couple of hours to collect everything into the truck and there simply was no way he'd ever lift the thing without magic. Thank god for magic. He though with a lively smile as he headed downstairs where his father sat waiting at the table.<br/><br/>"Finally ready to go are we?" Tobias said with a grin.<br/><br/>"Yes," Tiernnan answered not bothering to explain why he was so late to getting down. Tobias nodded, rose and looked over at his son's trunk.<br/><br/>"I hope you didn't pack that library of yours again," he said dryly.<br/><br/>"Yes," was all Tiernnan answered and his father sighed heavily before levitating the truck to the car. Tiernnan looked at the contraption and even though he'd been in it often he still felt his face flush at the thought of it. He hated driving anywhere it was a terrifying concept. And it always made him nervous. He got in without a word and silently pulled a book out of his pocket and read it as they drove to Kings Cross Station. Where Tiernnan would take the train to school as he always did this time of year. He was after all a teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
