Chaprter Four! (No duh) Kind of short, but still good.
While Professor McGonagall was dressing down Ron and Harry, Albus Dumbledore was concluding his welcoming remarks in the Great Hall. Snape, who had found Harry and Ron lurking outside the castle, had stopped at the door to the hall. Dumbledore had just introduced Gilderoy Lockhart, who would be teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts.
"There are two others I wish to welcome to the faculty of Hogwarts, however temporarily. Some of you may have heard that our Herbology professor, Phyllida Sprout, has been called away on a family emergency. Until her return, her duties as head of Hufflepuff House will be taken by Madam Pomfrey. As for her classes, I have the distinct pleasure of welcoming to our faculty a prominent Herbologist from the Continent, Madame Kokiri. Also joining our faculty will be her husband, Professor Okino, a name I'm sure will be familiar to the seventh-years among you. He will be conducting a series of seminars on magic-Muggle relations, and I expect something truly exciting as a result." The students had no trouble picking out the newcomers at the headtable, not least because they alone weren't wearing the traditional pointed hat. Kokiri wore her hair, which was usually pinned up and under a scarf, down her back. It was almost as long as Dumbledore's.
"I should also mention that they are accompanied by their daughter Kiki, who will be staying in Gryffindor while attending some of our classes." Kiki, who had snuck into a seat at the Gryffindor table just a minute before, and was sure Dumbledore hadn't noticed her, was stunned. Dumbledore went on: "This means that Hogwarts is honored to have on its faculty, for the first time since the Seventeenth Century. . ." Dumbledore paused here, letting the others speculate. Foreigners? Muggles? He smiled and finished the thought: "Parents. I am sure that, what they lack in experience of the classroom, they have in other ways more than surpassed those of us who have devoted ourselves to matters magical and academical. "But let us now devote ourselves to matters gustatorial as I say the magic words: Tuck in!" The banquet food started appearing on all the tables.
Snape had not moved from the doorway. ***
You know what I'm going to say. . . R/R!
