Chapter 4
Catalin woke the next morning to the sound of her alarm clock going off. The clock read 7:30am.
"Good Merlin, what an un-wizardly time to get up!" exclaimed Catalin pushing back her curtains. She showered, got dressed and went out of her room. Her black robes fluttered lightly behind her as she walked slowly down the hall. She finally reached the great hall. She join the other teachers at the High table; and sat between her brother and her uncle. She almost fell face first into her oatmeal; Andrew caught her just in time.
"Cati, are you ok?" asked Tasha.
Catalin didn't reply; she merely looked dazedly at Tasha.
"She'll wake up in a couple of seconds. Watch this," whispered Andrew. "Catalin, Oliver had just arrived."
Catalin's head shot up; Drew and Snape had to pull her back down into her chair.
She then rounded on her brother and punched him in the arm, hard.
"Don't do that!" yelled Catalin. "Thats mean!"
"Ok ok! Cati, be quiet!" exclaimed Andrew whacking her with a spoon.
"Do you wanna start a silverware fight with me? The last time that happen I still wasn't allowed to use magic. Newsflash buddy! Full grown Sorceress on you hands and completely legal!" hissed Catalin.
The other professors chuckled lightly at Catalin's remark and continued to eat their breakfast. Catalin looked over her own schedule.
9:00am Hufflepuff-Gryffindor Auror Training.
10:30am Slytherin-Ravenclaw History of Sorcery (Fourth Years)
Lunch 12:00-1:30
2:00pm Slytherin-Gryffindor History of Magic (Second Years)
3:00pm Ravenclaw Auror Training
Free time 4:00-6:00
Dinner
Drew peered over her shoulder as she read.
"Man, I'd hate to be you." Laughed Drew.
"When's Remus coming?" asked Catalin, changing the subject.
"The week after the full moon, two weeks from tomorrow," answered Drew through bites of toast.
Catalin stood and nodded to the other professors and left for the dungeons.
"This is going to be an interesting morning," said Catalin breathlessly opening the door.
She opened her lesson planner and began to scribble notes on the blackboard. She was halfway through the notes when students began to file in.
"Just pick a seat. If you decide to sit with your friends please make sure to pay attention because you will all be tested individually," said Catalin, turning to face the students in her class.
The bell sounded and Catalin started her introduction.
"Good Morning class. My name is Professor Nuperson. I would like you all to call me Cati though, it would be a whole lot easier to remember the difference between my brother and myself. Now, let's get started shall we?" asked Catalin surveying the class.
She noticed that most of the boys were gaping at her. It was getting rather stuffy so she opened the door. The soft sound of Professor Snape's voice across the room filled the quiet air.
"All right. Today, we will start out easy. I am going to see how well you can execute the disarming spell and summoning charm at once. Don't worry if you don't get it right the first time, just try again. Now, once you've disarmed the person simply point your wand at the object and summon it. This will get harder, I promise but I need to see what you all can do," explained Catalin. "Ok, I need someone to come up here and disarm me. Ok, you right here." She said pointing to a very timid looking Gryffindor at the front.
He rose nervously and approached her. He pointed his wand toward Catalin and instead of saying, "expelliarmus" he said, "explodeiarmus". Catalin move her head quickly and the violet stream sailed right past her head and right into Snape's room. There was a loud "BOOM" and the sound of shattering glass. Students yelped and Catalin grimaced.
She walked out of the room and across the hall and peered in. The entire class was turning purple and a sickly green color. Snape was the worst of them all. His entire nose was purple and his hair was a lovely shade of lavender.
"Sorry 'bout that Professor,"said Catalin holding back laughter.
"Professor Nuperson, what happened?" asked Snape eyeing her.
"Well, a bit of a mix up in spells so to speak," said Catalin with a lopsided grin.
"Cati, please don't let it happen again." He said shortly.
"Yes Sir!" She laughed and marched off.
Snape's class froze at her reaction.
"That's the new teacher. I like her all ready," said the other.
Catalin's class went very well. Five minutes before the bell, she faced the class. "All right, for tonight's homework," she started, the class groaned. "half a roll of parchment on the importance of aurors."
"That's it? That next to nothing!" said one of her students.
"I don't believe in long homework assignments," said Catalin thoughfully.
"Oh, and Mr. Markavitch,"she started and he winced. "Ten points to Gryffindor for turning Professor Snape's class green and purple."
The class bust out laughing. She cracked a smile and hopped up on her desk.
"Well, I guess this leaves enough time for a quick story. Well, most of you already know, I went to Hogwarts. I was taught by Professor Snape. I was horrible in his class, I could never seem to get anything right. Then one day, he came by my cauldron and began to lecture me on my poor work and compared it to my parents' and brother's work. It exploded in his face and he went a nasty pea green color for a month. I was given detention but it was all worth it!" laughed Catalin.
The class roared with laughter. The bell sounded and the lot of them were reluctant to leave. "I'll see you all on Wednesday," she called out to the students. She could hardly believe it, her very first class had been a complete success.
