Other then Ebon, a teacher named Ryan teached the classes. Though the animals they showed to the class were different. While Ebon often showed snakes or snake-like creatures, Ryan showed the more...furry animals. Once he showed the class a Deolf, a wolf with red eyes and bat-like wings. He also brought animals that were scary, yet tameable and beautiful. He, like Ebon, spoke about how the creatures he showed were mercilessly slaughtered for no good reason. Ryan sometimes even drove some of the students to tears.

Ryan himself was very soft-hearted. Whenever a student was crying durring class he would comfort them and ask what was wrong. Before he knew it he had some students sent to him, sometimes even durring class from other classes due to them being upset. And eventually...he comforted so many that...he became something of an unofficial guidance counsler. Durring his free time he found himself bombarded by crying students. It even got to the point where he helped stop some serious fights between classes in the hallways. He was called over specifically, sometimes from class, to stop these fights. When he was in his office there were always people waiting to talk to him about some problem or another, or having been sent there after other teachers found them fighting. Poor Ryan never got any peice. And he was just too sweet to turn anyone away.

Both Ebon and Ryan were deemed very attractive, but Ryan was easier to "flirt with" or "get to know" because of his being the unofficial guidance counsler. He never flirted back of course. The poor chap didn't even know he was being flirted with. His apearence screamed "hug me, I'm so cute!" He was thin, though larger the Ebon, and muscular. He had soft browm hair and light blue eyes. On his pale cheeks were scattered freckles.

Harry soon started having wierd dreams. Now you might think that these were awful, bloody gory dreams due to Harry's history but the fact was, they weren't awful at all. In fact, they were quite...arousing. In every dream was a tall dark man obscured by shadows that tryed to seduce him...and succeeded. He talked about them to his mirror, which he called venom. Venom found this kind of amusing.

"So...you're gay?"

"Sort of..."

"Harry! There is no "sort of." Its a yes or no question."

"Okay! Yes, I am."

"Okay, so who's sexier, in your opinion. Ebon or Ryan?"

"That's none of you're buisiness!"

"Ebon huh?"

"Well...yeah."

"I knew it!"

"So what do you think about this guy in my dreams?"

"I dunno...sounds...deffinately hot."

"VENOM!"

"You asked!"

Harry had been spending most of Ebons free time with him, just hanging out, taking care of the snakes. Harry DID sort of crush on him. How could he not? He was so COOL, attractive, quiet, and mysterious. If Harry didn't know any better, he'd have said the teacher liked him back. Harry was no question his favorite student.

So Harry liked his teacher...a lot. The question was. What was he going to do about it?
