Ricky Egan walked into the Great Hall, it was August, and he was the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. This year was different, each professor had an assitant for the classes were doubled and were too much for one professor. His assitants were Remus Lupin, an old classmate, and Alastor Moody, ex-auror. Great combination, he thought dully waiting for the headmaster, Albus Dumbledore. Victoria Harum walked up to Ricky, she too was an old classmate part of his trio. She nodded to him, she was the assitant for Severus Snape the potions master. Ricky gave a small grin then looked back at the doors when Dumbledore walked in, it was after lunch and the headmaster wanted to meet them in the Great Hall. Dumbledore walked up to them and smiled, "Good to see both of you could make it." Ricky nodded even though his thoughts weren't all in one place he still could hear Dumbledore speak. Most of his thoughts were on his godson, Shakir, son of Victoria, who was going to attend Hogwarts this year. "I suppose I don't have to show you two, around Hogwarts. You're rooms will behind your offices, if you have any questions, come to me or anyone else." Dumbledore smiled and walked off. Ricky opened his mouth to speak to Victoria, "S'pose this will be like the good ol' days." Victoria gave a disgusted look, "Spending my time with old classmates and teaching students. Not something paticularly pleasing." Ricky shrugged, "Lets see there will be, Sevi, Remy, and us. Some what of a good time I s'pose." His tye-died robes fluttered behind him as he turned and walked out of the doors. Victoria was behind him, she knew who he was talking about. Ricky turned around to look at her, "Well see you in awhile. Oh yeah say hi to Sev, for me. I won't be abled to see, I've got to do some work." He nodded and they parted to go to their offices.
