Chapter 2
The next seven days passed slowly. When July 17th finally came, Sarina apparated to Diagon Alley with a large bagful of gold. She arrived right outside Madam Malkin's shop at 2:15 pm.
"I guess I do need some new robes", Sarina said to herself, looking at her own robe, which was black. " I should get some colorful ones"
She walked into the robe shop. Madam Malkin walked right up to her and asked, " What can I do for you?"
" I was wondering if you could give me a bit of advice on robe colors" Sarina said uncertainly.
"Of course dear, I have one question before we start. Where are you going to wear these robes?"
"At my new job, I'm going to need a lot of variety in colors and styles"
"Ok, well in that case, you should get one sky blue robe, a midnight-blue robe, a red robe, a green robe, and a lot of other colors too"
" Well can you measure me and get me a dark-blue robe, a deep-green robe, a fiery-red robe, a royal purple robe, and a silver dress-robe. Could you also get me two black capes with silver fastenings?"
"All of that for a new job?" asked Madam Malkin, writing it all down.
" Yes" smiled Sarina.
"Ok, come to the back now and I'll measure you"
After a short time, the measuring was done. Sarina looked at her bill. It said that her price came thirty-two galleons and two knuts. ~That's a good deal, I guess she gave me a discount~
" It'll all be done and ready to go in one hour at 3:45" Madam Malkin stated.
" Well, I'll see you in an hour, then"
Sarina walked out of the shop and went past a few buildings to get to Flourish and Blotts to buy a few books. When she walked in, Sarina noticed that there were quite a few books in the shop. It could be hard to find the two books that she needed. Dark Beasts and Spells was in the Must Read For School section, while her other book The Yeti and Other Ice Beasts was in the New Authors section. As she went to check out, Sarina remembered to buy some quills, parchment, and three bottles of ink. Afterward, she popped into a jewelry shop and bought two bronze wristbands. Sarina was always fond of jewelry, especially bracelets.
~Well I better go and pick up my robes~ After that thought came to her mind, Sarina went back to Madam Malkin's robe shop, picked up her robes and went home to get ready for the meeting at 5.
It took her a while to decide which robe to wear, but she finally picked the blue robe. ~I will make my eye-color stand out~ With her robe color out of the way, Sarina pulled her hair back into a ponytail. Now she was almost ready to go to the meeting. She just had to make a list of supplies for her class.
1 copy of The Yeti and Other Ice Beasts
1 copy of Dark Beasts and Spells
1 water/fire-proof notebook
~There I hope that's good for a supply-list~
Sarina apparated to the Leaky Cauldron right before 5. She walked up to Tom the bartender.
"Could you tell me where the Teacher's meeting is?" she asked.
"Of course, come with me, I'll show you," said a polite Tom, while he walked from behind the counter and went to the private lounge in the back.
"Thanks" Sarina nodded.
The room that Tom had led her to was empty with the exception of a fireplace and a circle of comfortable, purple chairs in the middle of the room. Next to the fireplace was a thin, elderly man with a silver beard. ~That must be Professor Dumbledore~ He checked his pocket-watch and said, "You're early" to Professor Fain.
"I know, but where are all the other teachers?" Sarina asked inquiringly.
"They all come right at five" Dumbledore said with a smile.
"Ok"
Suddenly, seven teachers appeared with a loud pop, right at five. It was just like Dumbledore had told her. Each of the teachers greeted Dumbledore and took a seat. Dumbledore took a seat and Sarina sat next to him, feeling a bit nervous. She had never been the best at meeting new people. A tall witch, with her brown hair pulled into a tight bun, was on her other side.
Professor Dumbledore addressed the group of faculty, "As you can see, we have a new teacher. Her name is Sarina Fain. You can all guess which class she is teaching" He smiled and continued, "I have to leave for a moment, so please introduce yourselves" Professor Dumbledore left the room.
Most of the teachers got up and talked to each other. One wizard, with pale skin and greasy hair, just stayed where he was. He grabbed a book out of his bag. It was called Powerful Potions. Sarina walked over to the witch who had sat next to her. "Hi" Sarina said, apprehensively.
"Hello, so you're the new teacher," questioned the witch.
Sarina nodded.
"Well here's some advice. Most of us are nice, but Severus," glancing at the wizard in the chair, "isn't a fan of new teachers"
"Ok" ~I can't believe that's Severus. He looks different~
"By the way, I'm Minerva. I teach transfiguration,"
"I'm going to go get to know the other teachers"
Sarina walked off and looked around to see whom else she could talk to. She walked over to Severus and sat in the chair next to him. He must have heard her coming because he looked up from his book.
"Hi" Sarina said.
"Hello," Snape said icily
"Do you remember me?"
~Could he have forgotten? Of course not, everyone knew Snape held a grudge on me. But, was it a grudge? She had never done anything mean to him, unless you counted being friends with Lily, James, Sirius and Remus. That's not really being mean ~
Severus paused, "Of course I do, Sarina"
There was something in his voice that made Sarina shiver.
