Chapter 1
Selene sat in the Hogwarts express feeling nervous and excited. It had been 12 years since she stepped in the wizarding world. Her reasons for leaving were that she couldn't handle the pressure of being a witch anymore and she just wanted to live a normal life and of course to forget the incident.
She remembered when she received a letter from Dumbledore asking her to fill in the position of Transfiguration teacher and head of Gryffindor house since he would be retiring and McGonagall would become Headmistress.
FLASHBACK
Selene was sitting at her kitchen table eating her breakfast before she went to work. Suddenly an owl flew through her window and dropped a letter in front of her. It then stayed where it was perched on the table.
Selene was shocked! She had never in 12 years received a letter by owl since she moved into the muggle world.
She opened the letter and read it. With each line she read her eyes went wide!
The letter read:
Dear Miss Black,
We are currently looking for a Transfiguration teacher and Head of Gryffindor house and as I recall you were fantastic at transfiguration besides Miss Granger.
Please send your answer by owl as soon as possible.
Dumbledore.
She didn't know what to do and after careful consideration decided that she was going to accept the job. She scribbled a quick 'Yes' and then realised she was late for work!
END FLASHBACK
Selene jolted from her thoughts as the train stopped in Hogsmeade. She got off the train with her luggage and saw Hagrid waiting for her by a carriage.
"Hello Hagrid. Long time no see. How are you?" she asked.
"Oh I'm fine. Aint seen yeh in a lon time, Selene." Hagrid replied.
"I know it's been too long for Me." she said.
They both got into the carriage after Hagrid put her luggage in first. They talked about old times and how good it is to be back and how Hogwarts was still the same.
Soon the carriage stopped in front of the gates.
Selene took a deep breath and walked with hagrid to the front doors. She opened the doors and was met with the familiar scent of Hogwarts.
Hagrid took her to her living quarters and she got settled in.
All too soon the sound of the children could be heard and that was her cue to get to the Great Hall.
She took one of the passages leading to the hall and arrived there just as the sorting was starting.
She took a seat between an empty space and professor Snape.
Once the sorting had finished, McGonagall made the usual announcement and introduced Selene as the new transfiguration teacher and head of Gryffindor house.
All the boys seemed to take a liking to her already and all the girls seemed a bit jealous at the attention she was receiving.
Once the announcements were done, there was the feast. Selene had forgotten how wonderful the food tasted here and was glad she took up the offer.
Suddenly the door burst open and in walked the last person she wanted to see...
