Eyes gleaming, she looked at him, tilted her head and gave him a very confused look.
"Whatever are you talking about Professor?"
She continued to stare at him.
Meanwhile, her brain was processing what he said. The confused look vanished and was replaced with, well, something short of shock.
"Wait, you are my grandfather?"

He stared at her for a moment. "Oh fuck." There it was again. He covered his mouth after the curse had dropped from his lips and stared at her for a moment. She didn't know it before. But now she did. And he just told her basically. He stood up from his seat and just… Walked over to his bookshelf and began to hit his head against it – enough for a light 'thud' but not enough for it to actually hurt him.
"Idiot, idiot, idiot." He took in a deep breath looking towards her, a red spot now on his forehead and he just… pulled out a hidden photo in his desk and slid it over to her – she might or might not recognize a really young Druella, and some guy. They looked really happy and he was even kissing her on the cheek shyly.
He hung his head as he allowed himself to slowly morph to his natural form, growing just slightly taller, his hair going all sticky uppy, and everything - just like the guy in the picture.

The photo was slid in front of her, and it took her a moment, but she did recognize her grandmother. It had been a minute since she'd seen the woman, but it was, undoubtedly her.
It was then, he shifted, and she stared at him, brain attempting to process things quickly, heart thudding against her chest. She couldn't believe it.
Warmly, she repeated, in a tone of wonder, "Dumbledore really does know how to pick them."

He ran a hand through his hair, not daring to look up. This was just great. Great job. No wonder you were accused of killing your parents. You were a complete idiot. Why did you even think that you could take David's place? He was such a better guy than you in just about everything. No wonder Druella picked Cygnus over you. You would just let her down.
"Yeah, he does – But I swear, I didn't do what they accused me of. David knew that too, that's why he – well before he died he granted permission for me to go out sometimes as him to collect evidence and then some Death Eaters attacked and… well the world would be better off with him instead of this escaped convict."

She looked at him, eyes still wide with wonder before her gaze settled into a neutral kindness. "I was only commenting on the fact that Dumbledore seems to have a keen perspective on what someone needs, albeit a little manipulative. Am I saying he offered you this job because he knows who you are beneath the guise? Probably yes. Was this meeting meant to be? Also, probably yes."
She reached out and put a hand to his arm. "I believe you when you said you didn't do any of those things. I don't think you would be here if you did."

Boy, that look in her eyes reminded him of Dru ages and ages ago. She'd given him that look when he said he wanted to travel the world and write about the peoples. She said she believed he could do it and it sounded fantastic – even though she didn't want to travel, and wanted to stay with her family in the country – of course this was before their whole break up because of Cygnus.
He jumped slightly when he felt her hand against his arm. "I appreciate it. I can't believe I was such an idiot to just – just let it out like that. What made you start suspecting me? I need to know – no one else can know who I am, yeah?"

"Well, to be honest with you, I didn't really catch on to anything until you freaked out about me joking about being my grandfather... it was only a joke.... but well, look at what my jokes got me."
She shrugged grinning. "You're really actually good at hiding, I just don't think you wanted to hide from me."

Grandfather. Merlin, that sounded so wrong. He quickly morphed back into his David McKay look, quickly making sure to use a picture he had taken a few days ago for touch ups if he needed it. Of course, he had to 'age' his look since who knew how long he'd be like this, so he would slowly age it, so he didn't look like he was just staying the same age and attracting attention. He took in a deep breath and sighed.
"Don't ever call me grandfather, or grandpa, grandad, or whatever," He chuckled lightly, "I'm way too young for that." Okay, you technically were a grandad of a 15-year-old. But still! It didn't seem right. He was 51 years old, that was father range, not granddad of a 15-year-old range. "Maybe I didn't. It was difficult to control my eyes around you. They tend to change based on my mood – my hair sometimes, but only if I'm not paying attention very much. But boy, my eyes are hard to control." He shook his head. "They understand me more than I understand myself."

She watched the change with interest. It was fascinating seeing someone else other than her self going through the morph, and she could catch the tiny little differences than what she would see when going through hers. She didn't normally change full body or face, but boy was it a rush when it did happen.
She also didn't keep the face on for longer than .... fifteen minutes, tops.
"Don't worry Old man," she grinned. "I won't.... pops." She snickered at him. "I think that's how it is with that particular feature... and unfortunate effect to the trait, but it is what it is. I can't think that eyes changing colour is all that a pleasant sensation either. I don't really feel anything with me hair."
She crossed her arms, "I suppose it's a dumb question since you've probably been doing it for a while -- but does holding that form get tiring?"
Course, what is she asking? No one round here has seen just Dora, anyway. So if that form was second nature to him, well, the form she currently has is second nature to her too.

He chuckled and shook his head. "Don't call me old man or – or pops either. Seriously, I'm not that old… though, I'll admit when I was your age I'd probably call me old too… Now if there was someone who was my age now when I was your age, they'd be old now. Something like 86 years old if I'm doing my math right… boy that's no. Just no. I don't want to think about that." He shook his head blinking a couple of times, basically falling back into his seat and putting his feet up on his desk.
"Well, when you're trying to prevent it, you can definitely feel it. When you don't really think about it, you can't really feel it," He gives her a nod. She probably didn't know much about the gift in general – he'd had a long time to deal with it. He supposed he could give her a bit of advice – it'd help her in the long run; plus, it was something they shared, something special. The proof that they were – well related.
"It is hard. Think of it like this: when you sleep you revert to your natural form. There's no way to control it. So, I haven't had a good night's sleep in ages at this point. I basically get half-asleep, so I can still keep it up just in case, but still rest as best I can." He took in a breath as he tried to come up with a good analogy. "Have you ever just been… standing somewhere, and you can't sit. At first its really easy. Sometimes when you're sitting you want to stand so you just do it, sometimes without prompting from your consciousness. But if you stand for too long when your body really doesn't want to, and you really are focusing on whether you're standing or sitting… well it gets harder and harder as you hold it. I figure you don't really think about holding your hair like that, you just let it sit there naturally, which makes it easy. But think about having to hold an appearance for a few weeks – and then extend it to five years. Including lack of sleep so your emotions go haywire and – its just difficult."

"Touchy," she giggles. "I wasn't gonna call you that anyway, Professor. I know how to be polite, thank you very much."
She laughs at him as he puts his feet up on the desk. "Plus, it wouldn't seem right anyway. You're definitely not old enough for such terms. More like an uncle, if that makes you feel any better."
"It's uncomfortable if I try to stop it, so I just let it do whatever it wants. Not like I'm in danger here at school and need to keep a face."
She looks at him pointedly and then frowns. "No wonder you look tired as hell. What about putting wards up on your quarters to alert you when people show up? I think, at least, while being at Hogwarts, you should get some rest. You work too hard."

"Uncle?" He shook his head. "That sounds even worse for some reason. Merlin. I think its because, and no offense on this, kids are terrifying. Plus, I don't even have a sibling to have a kid. I don't know."
He ran a hand through his hair and leaned back in his chair. Resting his eyes for a moment, he mulled over her words before he made a face and shook his head. "I don't think that would work for me. Even with the wards, I'll be paranoid." Theo scratches the back of his head. "It's not a big deal. I've worked with this for five years, I can get through teaching a bunch of teenagers to… battle dark creatures and people."

She eyes him warily.
"I've got this friend, whose got this really neat catchphrase he likes to sneak up behind us and shout. 'Constant Vigilance!' And having a lack of sleep is not a sound way to have that if you ask me. But, whatever works for you."
She smirks, "well, I'm so terribly sorry that we're so terrifying. You should probably ask one of the Lupins for some chocolate.... it'll make you feel better."

He smiled slightly and shook his head. "Your friend sounds mad." He chuckled for a moment. While it was true one would need to keep on alert, especially in the current climate, shouting such a thing at someone wouldn't help them be more careful, he didn't think. Well not everyone. It might affect others in the way intended but it would just get him annoyed.
"Ah, well unfortunately I don't have the same odd relationship as the twins do to chocolate. While I do enjoy myself an occasional bit of chocolate, I'd rather not eat it all the time. Ruin the effect, yes?"

"He might be, just a tad." She said with a grin.
"I don't think it's odd!" Okay, Tonks, no need to get all defensive. "But I can see your point. But it really does make you feel better."
Or maybe you're just in love with the person that came up with that idea. Silly girl.
