Chapter 9

Sincerely, Albus Dumbledore

With trembling hands, Rebecca set the letter from Dumbledore on the desk. It was amazing how charged with memories a few simple lines from her former headmaster could be. Her entire life at Hogwarts had just passed through her head at lightening speed. It had been around fifteen years since she had been at Hogwarts. Even with Severus there, especially with him there, she had fully expected never to see it again.

Dumbledore thinks I'm good enough to teach? she wondered. True, she had more experience dealing with the Dark Arts than any other non-Death Eater she knew, and of course, she worked for the Ministry, so she knew the most recent developments; but a teaching job?

She opened a drawer on her desk and took out a sheet of parchment and a quill. After a quick scribble to Severus, she wrote to Dumbledore, accepting the position.

A/N: I've had a few people email me (and one review) asking about the specifics of Rebecca's relation to Lucius Malfoy or Voldemort. I have a family tree done on the computer, but unfortunately, I can't convert it to HTML, as it completely botches up the spacing and it no longer looks like a family tree. If you want to see it, email me and I'll send it to you in an attachment.
