The Band Professor and the Return of the Rose
It was August 27^th and Severa was back at here cave. She was a beautiful woman with pale skin that almost looked like a light frosted blue, glasses, black eyes, and black hair past her waist.
It had been almost 4 years since her friends left her. As she was sitting on her floor thinking about what she was going to do for the rest of her life, she heard a hoot and looked to the opening of her cave. An owl came in, dropped an envelope in her lap, and perched on the table next to her. She opened the envelope, pulled out the letter inside to read it. It said:
Dear Miss Snake,
The Ministry of Magic has told us that they have recognized your talent of being able to play any and all instruments. We are in desperate need of a music/band Professor here at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry and hope that you will accept. If you are interested, come to Hogwarts school of W.A.W., on August 27, at 2:00 p.m. I will see each Professor separately so that you don't have to risk being shy around the other Professors. The term starts on September 1.
Sincerely,
Professor Albus Dumbldore
P.S. The M.o.M. has also informed me that you have a lovely singing voice, if you don't mind, I would love for you to sing for me some time.
Severa was a wonderful musician who could play all interments but her favorite was the trumpet. Although she was known to joke around and call the trumpet loud and obnoxious. "What do you think, David?" She asked her black raven, David. David must have understood her because me looked at her and nodded. "Okay, I agree. This shall be fun." The real reason she decided to accept was that she thought she should make some thing out of her life and this was the only way she could. So, she picked up her quill and turned the letter over. Then she dipped it into her black Ink and began writing:
Dear Professor Dumbldore,
It would be an honor to teach at your school. Thank you for your complements. Thank you also for giving every teacher a separate meeting so I won't have to worry about being shy around the other teachers and staff. I will do my best to teach your students about music. I take pride in band even though you don't have to be magical to be musical. Though sometimes, I think that's the best part about band. Anyway, I look forward to talking with you. See you then!
Yours Truly,
Severa Sinisterlia Snake
P.S. I would be happy to sing for you. You'll just tell me what you want me to sing, and if I know it, then I would be happy to sing for you.
Then, she rolled up the parchment and tied it to the owl's leg and it took of. Then she began packing her things. She was so excited about her new start that she could hardly sleep. Though in the end, she managed to get a little bit of sleep.
The next bay, Severa put on her best robes. Luckily, she lived in the wizarding world so she could fly on her broom without having to worry about muggles seeing her. Unfortunately, she only lived a little under 2 hours away from the school.
At noon, Severa and David left for Hogwarts and arrived a few minuets early. Dumbldore was waiting at the entrance for her when she arrived. "You must be Professor Dumbldore. I saw a Chocolate Frog Wizard Card that someone had dropped in Hogesmade." She told him after landing softly.
"Ah, indeed I am. You must be Severa." He answered. Severa just looked at him and nodded. "Well, then come along to my office and I will give you everything you need." Then He turned and headed to his office with Severus and David. He stopped in front of a gargoyle and said `Bat's Breath,' and the gargoyle shook it's head opened it's mouth and jumped aside. "This is my office. Come here if you ever need anything." Severa nodded and followed Dumbldore down the stairs.
When she was on the 5^th step, she heard a boom behind her and jumped in fright a little. The gargoyle had jumped to cover the whole once again. (Severa had been at Hogwarts before yes, but she had never been in Dumbldore's office and wasn't expecting it to do that. Also, Severa had forgotten a lot about the castle's, "habits".) "Well, this shouldn't take long. Please, do sit down." He said pointing his hand at the chair. Severa sat down and looked at him. David perched himself on the coat rack and waited quietly. "I just need to explain a little about being a teacher and not much more since you were once a student here. 1^st, never tell any student the password to the office unless it's an emergency. You may go escort a student to the gargoyle and whisper the password, `Bat's Breath' in the gargoyle's and it will move, but I don't want students being able to sneak in. 2^nd, when leaving my office, all you have to do is put you palms on the bottom of the gargoyle's feet and
think about it being out of your way to make him move."
"Uh... just out of curiosity, does the gargoyle have a name?"
"Yes, his name is flame."
"Oh, just wondering. Please continue."
"Thank you." Dumbldore said with grin. "That's all you really need to know verbally. I know you've been here before, but some people can't remember where everything is. would you like a map?"
"Yes, please. You're right, I have forgotten where are."
"Alright," he said reaching under his desk pulling out a medium sized piece of parchment with a map of Hogwarts on it and handed it to her.
"Thank you, sir." She said
"Please, you professor, (or close to one,) call me Albus." Severa jus smiled. "Well, I think that's all you need to know."
"Wait, Albus, are teachers allowed to go into the common rooms?"
"Ah, yes, I almost forgot. Each teacher my pick on house that they wish to visit. Unless you're a house master, then your entitled to one house. I think I know you pretty well. Were you going to pick, Slytherin, perhaps?" he joked.
"Yep, you know me to well. Is there anything else I need to know or that you would like me to do?"
"Actually I was hopping you could sing for me now." He said.
"What would you like me to sing?"
"Well, I'm rather fond of Elton John. Do you know any of his songs?"
"Are you kidding? He's the who made me want to start singing. Which song?"
"Any of them."
"Sacrifice okay?"
"Sure"
So, Severa sang Sacrifice for Dumbldore. Her voice co- alto and soothing and as Dumbldore listened to it seemed to memorize him. When she finished, Dumbldore thanked her.
"It was a pleasure singing for you, si- Albus."
"Well I look forward to seeing you in September."
Severa left the office with David following. Then she put her palms on the gargoyle's feet and envisioned it out of her way. Then she felt the stone feet push off from her hands letting her and David free to leave. When she reached the outside of the castle, she picked up her broom where she had left it and flew home with David close behind. The next few days seemed to take for forever! Yet, soon enough, September 1, came.
Before leaving for Hogwarts, Severa put all of her things she was taking in a corner. Then she pointed her wand at a metallic object, muttered `Magnetis', and put the metallic object in her pocket. Then she tied all of her belongings together with a rope and attached another metallic object to the rope. All of her things (that were tied up) were now hovering just feet away from her. Then she got on her broom and left for Hogwarts with her luggage and David close behind. Of course, she had to occasionally cast Magnetis on the metallic object in her pocket to keep her luggage from getting lost.
