"I don't see why you don't want Catalina around, Severus," Dumbledore said To Severus Snape. "She's perfectly normal; once you get past the troubles she's had."
"I don't see why you are so keen on hiring her Professor," Snape replied coldly.
"I think we both know that Ms. Rain is very talented at all forms of divination. She was able to tell me, before young Harry Potter was even born, that Voldemort's power would cease soon, and it happened a little over a year later. I don't think there are any people we can find right now, and I feel it's best that she returns, people miss her. She has been gone for a while. Why do you detest that she comes back?" Dumbledore asked.
"We umm…have a disagreement…it just…hasn't been well…" Snape said.
"Oh, that's right. Back when you were at school. If you're still upset about that, I'm sorry that it hurts, but she is best for the job. I hope you will be able to sort things out," Dumbledore said in a tone that implied the discussion was over.
'Great,' thought Snape. 'She's coming back. She can come back, and she can float around the school being her beautiful self, her eyes reminding me that she didn't want me, and she never would. I shouldn't have even asked her in the first place…it was stupid…should have known she liked Black…'

Sirius decided that he would just write a quick note back saying he would talk to her in person soon. He sent it off quickly, and then wrote to Dumbledore.
Professor Dumbledore,
Thank you for giving Catalina the job. You have no idea what you're doing for me…I do have one last request, however. I am in a state of umm…shabbiness. I haven't been able to wash my clothes or anything. Do you think I could give you my Gringotts key and you could buy me some small things? It would be well appreciated. I can't let Catalina see me like this. Anyhow, I hope everything is well with you. I must go.
Sirius

"Oh good, mail's here!" Dumbledore said to himself.
He scanned through his mail…there was a letter saying Catalina would take the job, a few letters saying he doesn't run the school right…and a letter from Sirius Black.
Dumbledore chuckled when he was done reading the letter from Sirius. 'It's cute really…him wanting to be cleaned up jut for her.' He thought. However, he wrote Sirius a short note saying he would help him.

"I don't see why you just decided to go back," Catalina's friend Roxanne said to her while she was packing her bags. "You like it here! You've always said that you dreaded going back there!"
"Roxanne…you're not helping me! I need to do this for myself, I haven't seen Sirius in years! I miss him! And I've always wanted to be a teacher! The headmasters here aren't too keen on hiring people from different schools, you know that! I don't want to leave, but it just…feels right, like I need to do this or everything will be messed up somehow!" Exclaimed Catalina.
Roxanne looked hurt. "So, you're saying that you just want to go, and leave everything here behind?"
"You know that's not what I'm saying. I want you to come visit me sometime OK? I'd never forget all my great friends here, but I grew up there…I have to go back…" she said.
"Well ok…I guess everything will be alright…but just promise me, that you'll keep in touch!" Roxanne said to her friend.
"I promise!" said Catalina. She hugged her friend, and then apparated to Diagon Alley.
