Chapter 3-HOGWARTS!
The grand doors opened into the hall of Hogwarts. Taylor stepped inside and looked around. There was another set of doors that must have led to the Great Hall and then there was the Grand Staircase on the other side. Dumbledore lead her to his office where there were teachers waiting to greet the newest addition to the students and teachers. They were all very kind to her and knew of her secret. But she kept eying Professor Snape, even though she knew he was good, he seemed to keep giving her an icy glance, so she smiled at him for good measure. Once they had finished the meeting, Dumbledore showed her to her new classroom, it was there that she realised there was a problem with her teaching.
"I have no idea about what to teach Professor." She blurted out. "What will I do? Just sit there?"
"You may teach them anything you think is relevant to the muggle world that the muggle studies teacher can't fit in to her lessons."
"So like events and movies and stuff?" She asked excitedly. "Imagine a class where all you do is watch movies. Now that is what school should be!" She thought to herself.
"Yes, but remember to give them assignments and such so they are still learning."
"May I take points off and points on to houses?" She hoped so.
"Yes you may, but only when you're teaching, not out of the classroom unless you're on hallway duty." She smiled; this is going to be one fun year…
Taylor had to sleep in Professor McGonagall's chamber for the night as she hadn't been sorted yet. The following day all the students would be on the Hogwarts Express and she would be sorted alongside the 1st years. She was both nervous and excited. But what if she didn't make any friends? What if she got sorted into the wrong house? She rolled over at these thoughts and fell into a restless sleep.
The next day Taylor wondered through the corridors of the school. Her cat, who she had named Naomi, trotted happily beside her. She had sent her owl, Snowy (even though she was a mixture of brown and white), to her mum to tell her about Hogwarts. On her way around the castle she bumped (well walked through) nearly headless Nick, the Gryffindor ghost. He was pleased to meet her and kept saying that he hoped she would be in Gryffindor. She found she did too. She then went to the Grand Hall for lunch. She sat at the teachers table next to Hagrid and admired all the food. She decided on a simple chicken sandwich and watched as all the ghosts glided in and out of the hall. At 1pm all the teachers left the hall to get ready for the arrival of the students. Hagrid went down to his hut on the edge of the forest, who knows what to do. Once again Taylor wandered around the castle, so she could do it in peace before all of the students arrived. This time she walked all the way up to the astronomy tower and back to the great hall, she wondered how many stairs she had just dragged herself up and down.
The afternoon flew by, and before she knew it she was in her black robes awaiting the arrival of the students. Finally, after a half an hour wait, carriages arrived. Taylor remembered the incident with the dementors and that the students will probably be quite frightened when they arrived. But she didn't care, she was just so happy to be where she was.
