Hogwarts was filled with laughter and girlish screams as all the old students poured into the large halls and chambers. The first day back always had a sort of a sweet innocence about it. Minerva McGonagall stood in her chambers preparing herself for her annual task of taking the first years into the great hall to be sorted. After the first three years it had become a fairly boring job, but hey, who's complaining. She suddenly remembered the staff meeting that had started ten minutes earlier and quickly shifted into the form of a cat. With the speed of jet she made her way to the staff room, hoping against hopes that she wouldn't miss it. She shifted back into herself and walked through the door. "Look who decided to grace us with her presence."
"Can it Severus. Are you feeling alright Minerva?" Dumbledore turned his attention to the attraction that had walked through the door.
"Perfectly, the meeting just slipped my mind." She sat down in her armchair and smiled. "Well, don't let my late entrance stop the whole shebang." Dumbledore nodded and continued with what he was saying.
"The new professor should be here at any moment. She's a young one this time. I thought we should get some youth into the system. Aged at," Dumbledore stopped and looked at his notes. "24, I believe. She's coming here from one of our sister schools in Australia." Every professor seemed to have absolutely no objection. McGonagall looked over all the familiar faces that she hadn't seen since their last year teaching together.
"She's arrived Albus." Everyone's attention turned to Trelawney who was levitating in a meditation sort of way. "Just thought you should know."
"Got it from one of your visions Cybil?" Snape mocked.
"Actually, no. I can see her out the window asking for directions." Minerva listened carefully. She could hear it. The girl sounded nice enough. Then she appeared in the doorway.
"Sorry I'm late. Traffic in London is hideous." She smiled at everyone in the room. She seemed like she would do well in her work at Hogwarts. Everyone stood as she entered to welcome her. She seemed so familiar to McGonagall, but she just couldn't place it. Dumbledore spoke up,
"Everyone, this is the new Mythology teacher. Calypso West." McGonagall's cat-like eyes flashed as she heard the name. It couldn't be the same Calypso West. She was suddenly feeling Very light headed. The last thing she saw was the confusion in the faces of her friends and colleagues.
