Adora POV
I was floored by the Headmaster's answer; I hadn't expected to say yes. There was only one way to actually get the real answer from the man, and I knew the only way I was going to find out where my older brother was.
"So, Adora, are you going to take the Position or not?" Jason asked me, drawing my attention back to him.
"I'll take the job Headmaster," I stated while looking at my boss. "I'll pack tonight and meet you at the castle tomorrow." Albus smiled, with the twinkle in his eyes that always got on Severus's nerves and after taking a few folders from Jason, I left his office. The empty halls echoed with every step I took, the Auror Department was empty when I returned to my office to grab my things. With a wave of my wand, the files that littered the floor automatically stacked themselves into piles four feet high against the walls. It seemed almost said I was leaving the department for a while, but I figured it would do me some good, getting away from the death and pain caused by You-Know-Who and his cold, cruel, and heartless Death Eaters.
3rd Person POV
The fireplace roared to life as Adora stepped out into her pitch black flat. As she turned on the lamp on the small end table next to her couch, her home sprung to life. The neutral colors gave a home feeling that her parents house never had, it was warm and inviting and seemed perfect for a single woman her age. Placing her messenger bag and the file that Jason had given her on the counter, she began to pack the large black suitcase that was located in her closet. After the majority of the suitcase was full, Adora placed her most valuable possession on top of her clothes: the only picture of her and Severus. The one taken only moments after he had graduated, and only a few weeks before he ran away. With a sad smile, she zipped up the suitcase and placed it in the living room. She didn't feeling doing anything else expect taking a hot shower and going to bed.
The Sun shined brightly as Adora walked up the green grounds of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It held the majestic look it had seventeen years before, and just like her seven years at the school, it would be her home for the next ten months. When the Black haired girl entered the entrance Hall, Dumbledore was waiting for her.
"I thank you for accepting the job on such short notice Adora, especially with only two weeks until the beginning of term." Dumbledore spoke with joy in his voice.
"I though it would be good for me, It may actually give me the information I seek" Adora smiled as well as she took in the sight of the majestic castle from the inside.
"I assume you still know your way around the castle, so I will just show you to your quarters and the classroom that you will be teaching in." Dumbledore moved slowly up the stairs to the grand staircase. The stairs still moved like she remembered giving her the feeling of being a five year old in a candy store. Soon they where at Adora's new living quarters and she was happy the Defense against the Dark Arts classroom was only a few doors away.
"There will be a staff meeting tomorrow night in the Great Hall." Dumbledore told the young sister of the Potion's Master.
"I will be there, Sir." The Brunette said softly as they walked back to her room so she could unpack.
After making sure Adora was in her rooms, Albus headed down to the Dungeons. He was sure Severus had returned from the latest Death Eater meeting earlier that morning, but he had no idea how he had faired against the Dark wizards wrath. The old Wizard knock on the door to the Potions master's chambers, alerting the younger man of his presence before entering, the place was empty but warm as the fire cracked in the fireplace.
"What do I owe this visit headmaster?" Severus's voice came from the back, what Albus suspected to be his bedroom.
"Came to see if you where alright my boy" Albus spoke as Severus came down the hallway, buttoning his white shirt.
"I assure you I am fine Headmaster," The Potion's Master declared as he stood in front of his employer and mentor.
"That's good to hear, we will have a staff meeting tomorrow night in the Great Hall," Dumbledore smiled
"I will be there Headmaster".
