New friends with Old Enemies

Chapter 1 - 9th July

She had only been back in the country for less than a month and was finding that her new flat in Hogsmeade village to be quite blissful compared to her apartment in Paris. It was much quieter and she was loving it. She had chosen to quit her teaching Job at Beauxbatons in favour to returning to her roots.

She had been sent to France when she was 15 – she was sent to stay with her Aunt and Uncle after her parents were killed by Voldemort during his first outing against the magical world. She hadn't really liked them. She would have rather stayed with her parents best friends, Molly and Arthur Weasley but the Ministry intervened as they weren't her official God Parents. So after 15 years she had decided to come 'home'. Hogsmeade hadn't really changed much she had discovered, since she had last been here. So she was able to find here way quickly enough. The shopkeepers were the same as well which brought a smile to herself as most of them remembered her.

Like today she had left her small flat around 11am to go buy a copy of the days Daily Prophet, and hadn't returned until after 2pm in the afternoon, she had found herself talking to nearly everyone she had met, everyone was so friendly here despite the prospect of the coming war everyone seemed to remain in good spirits. And Hogsmeade was busy - well it was the school holidays after all and it seemed as if the people of the Wizarding world were showing a united front by going about their usual business, as if nothing was happening.

When she had eventually arrived home she welcomed by what can only be described as her mail – there was an owl tapping on her window with its beak, it looked as thought it had been there for sometime and as a result looked rather annoyed. 'It must have been here a while, must let it in quickly before it gets even more annoyed' she thought to herself as she crossed the distance between her front door and the main window in her living room. She opened the window and the owl flew inside and perched itself on her desk as she hung up her cloak and made her way back to her desk where the owl was with its leg out ready for her to take the piece of parchment – it looked slightly impatient. She gave it an owl treat as she took the parchment from it and it flew off instantly. She examined the parchment carefully before opening it – not many people knew of her return here so she hardly ever got any mail – but it did have the Hogwarts seal on the back, it was one she remembered well from her old school letters 'God i haven't been there in years, what could they possibly want with me?' she thought as she opened the letter.

Dear Celine Rothery

Welcome home, i trust that you had a safe journey. Your might remember me, my name is Albus Dumbledore and as you may recall i am the head master here at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The reason i am writing to you is a simple one, i have heard you are an accomplished Potions Mistress and i am in need of someone with your expertise to fill in a position as potions professor here at the school. If you are indeed interested in the position, please let me know by return owl as soon as possible so we can start make arrangements for your arrival.

Yours Sincerely

Albus Dumbledore

Celine put the piece of parchment on the desk in front of her and smiled. She had no idea if she wanted to go back into teaching so soon, yes it was something she loved doing, but returning so quickly hadn't been her intention. But there was a small part of her that was getting excited with the prospect of returning to Hogwarts, she had loved being there. She paced the room over and over again still unsure of what to reply, she had decided to leave her response until the following day deciding to sleep on it.

Midway through the following morning she had made her decision, she penned down her reply stating that she would love to take up the post and requesting further detail etc. and gave it to her owl – Medusa, a gentle tawny owl, to take up to the school. She smiled 'this could turn out to be quite fun' she thought to herself as she began to wonder how many of her old professors remained there from her Hogwarts days. She knew Dumbledore was still there but how many of the others?

"OK i guess i better start packing again" she said to no-one in particular

"You know its not a good sign that, talking to yourself" came a reply from the photo on the mantle – her father.

"Well i can't be talking to myself if your replying now can i" she laughed

"Ha, very funny, your just like your mother, you know that" he said "Where are you going this time, running away again?"

"I'm not running, I'm returning to Hogwarts as a teacher" she said ignoring the groan of disappointment "As the new Potions Professor" she said with a beaming smile.

"Now just you stay out of trouble, and be careful, don't go falling in with the wrong people again" he said

"Now what's that suppose to mean?" she asked but her father didn't reply he just smiled at her and tapped the end of his nose.

"Oooo your just doing that to rile me aren't you" she said and he just started laughing.
