1 Chapter 2
They walked back down to the stone gargoyle, where Professor McGonnagal was waiting to show they around (and to make sure they didn't get lost.)
After about an hour they headed for the teachers lounge. "So what do you think of Dumbledore then? If you ask me he's a bit strange."
"Tony (P. Vector), I do not think that comment is an appropriate thing to say to our new teachers." Replied Minerva with a stern face, turning slightly red face. "If you sit down I will give you your time tables and show you the run of things."
Michelle and Madeleine did as she said. Tony kept them company, telling them stories that made them laugh, and turn Michelle slightly pink. Michelle could see Severus staring at them every time they laughed. Shr was about to get up and talk to him, when Tony saw her.
"Oh, don't mind him. He's just a menacing all fool, that scares the pupils into learning things that puts them off the subject, so basically no one likes him. Probably why he hasn't had a girl friend for god knows how long."
"But he looks so lonely." Replied Michelle in a sympathetic tone.
"Just forget about him." Answered Tony in a slightly annoyed tone.
Michelle was going to tell him off for being rude about a fellow teacher, when Severus got up and left in a hurry, with his black robes swaying frantically behind him.
"What's gotten into him?"
"Oh, nothing to worry about Minerva." Answered Madeleine, turning away form Tony.
"Well, anyway, here are your timetables." She handed the parchment to them. "If that's all right with you, we'll go straight through the proceeds of ordering."
"Ok."
"Sure."
"Fine then. When ordering supplies you must fill in this form and place it here." She pointed to a unit in the corner. "Do you understand?"
"Yep."
"Good, now about your rooms. Food will be eaten in the great hall, and you will be sitting at the front with the rest of us."
"Ok."
"Well, that's enough for tonight. I'll show you to your rooms so you can get settled."
So off the three women went, leaving the rest off the teachers in the lounge. They walked up a lot of winding staircases and passed a lot of moving paintings. All of which, their inhabitants were gossiping with each other.
"Here is your room Professor Clarke (Madeleine.), I hope it is to your liking."
"Oh, yes," replied a grinning Madeleine as she entered the room.
"Fee free to change the decoration, someone does every year."
"Thank you." And with that Minerva swept off, which Micelle walking behind her.
"Your living quarters are situated near the dungeons."
"Ok. Replied Michelle, imagining a dark, dingy room. 'Madeleine is so lucky.'
"There is something you should know. As well as assisting Severus in potions you will also be co-head of Slytherin."
"Oh, what will I have to do?"
"I'll let Severus fill you in on that. Ah, here we are. If you don't mind I really need to go."
"Of course. Thank you Minerva."
Michelle entered the room. "Wow." She exclaimed as she saw the big indulgent room. "I don't believe it." She muttered as she explored her rooms. "There is no way this can be my room." She sighed as she collapsed inro the massive four poster bed. "I wonder what it will be like teaching here. I hope it's as amazing as this room." And with that she closed here eyes and fell into a peaceful sleep.
