Tim was going through a different box, trying to get all the books and assorted junk his dad had packed organized. He considered the question for a minute, shrugging slightly as he started stacking books on a shelf. He was excited, and maybe a little nervous, so he wasn't really sure what to make of the new school yet.

"Yeah, but it seems okay. So far."

It was kind of vague - intentionally so - but he changed the subject quickly, shooting a slightly mischievous grin at Bruce before going back to unpacking. "How do you think you'll like teaching?"

"You're just saying that because Bartholomew's here, aren't you?"

Bruce couldn't help returning the smile. He figured the place'd warm up to Tim eventually. God knows that it'd already warmed up to Dick (or maybe that was vice-versa). As he finished emptying the contents of his box, he shrugged.

"I think it'll be interesting. Most of the students seem to think they'll have an easy class this semester, partially because Ms. Jones actually did have a laid-back class last semester." It was obvious from Bruce's posture that if anything, his class'd probably be the exact opposite. "But I think it'll be a good kind of different."

"No, not just because Bart's here," he said with a laugh, still stacking the books. Sure, Bart being here too was a major factor in Hogwarts not actually being all that bad, but the school itself seemed pretty cool, from what he'd seen so far. "I mean, it'll take some getting used to, but I think I can handle it."

This was said with confidence as he went to open another box filled with god knows what, but he stopped before unpacking, looking at his dad a little skeptically.

"You're going to be one of those teachers who acts like his class is going to be super easy and then catches everyone off guard as soon as the tests get handed out, aren't you?"

It wasn't really a question, because seriously, by now Tim knew what to expect with Bruce, and he doubted he'd just let his students get away with murder like everyone probably expected he would.

He'd figured Tim would say something along those lines. Certainly, Hogwarts was a step above airport security. (He even mentally grimaced thinking about it! That had been such a pain in the neck. See if he tries to take the brood overseas again!) "I'm sure you will," He reassuringly said, more so to reassure himself than Tim.

Once he realized Tim's eyes were on him, Bruce could only smile - it came off as a smirk, really - and nod, "Most likely. Though I do plan on giving them ample warning by actually giving them the materials they need to succeed." AKA if the kids actually study the packets and put in some effort, they're guaranteed a good grade.

Taking out some books, Bruce then casually pulled out his wand and moved them to the top of a tall bookshelf. "After all, it's not Batman that's teaching these kids."
