Chapter 2-"Ministry Evaluation"
Professor Sgath walked into the staff room, she appeared to have arrived early, and the only other teachers in there were Professor Sprout the herbalogy teacher, Professor McGonogal the transfiguration teacher and a heavily bruised Professor Hagrid the care of magical creatures teacher. They all turned to her as she walked into the room and smiled very brightly to the newest member of the Hogwarts teaching staff. "Don' you look diff'rent all grown up and all! "said Hagrid walking over to Professor Sgath. "My goodness, is that little Ava Sgath?" "Are you keeping up with your old herbalogy lessons?" said Professor Sprout taking Professor's hands and shaking them. "Oh my you do look all grownup indeed" Said Professor McGonogal smiling. "Yes I certainly have changed, it's so wonderful to see all of you again!" said Professor Sgath practically bouncing with happiness. "It also looks as though Hogwarts has changed since I've been gone," said Professor Sgath calming down. "Yeh well it's the Ministry o' Magic's doing that is" said Hargid aggressively. "How are you finding your lessons dear?" asked Professor McGonogal. "Well I just finished my first one for today, it went rather well, considering I had a little visit from the Ministry "evaluating my skills". " Professor Sgath said venomously. "Well good luck to yeh, the ol' bird put me on probation, dangerous creatures indeed" said Hargid loudly. "What houses did you have for your first lesson?" asked Professor Sprout trying to change the subject. "It was Griffindor and Huffelpuff." Professor Sgath. Just then Professor Umbridge came into the room and smiled so very sweetly it was almost sickening. "Don't stop speaking on my account." said Professor Umbridge in a false sweetness she didn't bother to hide. "No we just finished," said Professor McGonogal curtly not bothering either to hide the dislike she had for Professor Umbridge. Hagrid merely blushed and quietly whispered to Professor Sgath, "I'll send yeh an owl sometime to come an' hav' some tea." "Alright, sounds lovely Hagrid." whispered Professor Sgath and patted Hagrid on the hand. Hagrid patted Professor Sgath and nodded and Professor Sprout and Professor McGonogal and left the room swiftly not acknowledging the presence of Professor Umbridge. As Hagrid left the room became less cozy and welcoming and more tense and uncomfortable. An ackward silence crept over the room, and then all of a sudden Professor Sgath shot a quick look over in Professor Umbridge's direction. "Can I help you dear?" asked Professor Umbridge pleased with herself. "No sorry, Professor, just thought I heard something." Said Professor Sgath lying with all out discomfort in her body language. Professor Sgath shifted in her seat uncomfortably. "I think I'll join Professor Sprout in the Great Hall, would any of you like to join me?" asked Professor Sgath. "Oh no, I think I'll just stay here, the quiet is rather nice I think." Smiled Professor Umbridge. "I'll join you in a minute Ava, I just have sort out these papers, you go on I'll meet you there." Said Professor McGonogal. Professor Sgath walked out of the staff room relieved not to be in there anymore with Professor Umbridge. 'It was like she was knew how much power she was influencing with the teachers' she thought again. All of a sudden it felt as though Professor Sgath walked straight through a freezer. She looked behind and saw that she walked right through Sir Nicolas. "Oh! I am so sorry please forgive me Sir Nicolas, I wasn't watching where I was going I had my mind some where else." "No harm done my dear, Ava I heard you were back at school, only teaching this time, welcome back." Exclaimed Sir Nicolas with a big smile across his face. "Yes I am, again sorry about walking through you." "I'm on my way to the Great Hall" " I would join you, however I'm leaving from there." "Well I'll see you later then Sir Nicolas." "Goodbye Ava." Sir Nicolas said and glided right through a wall.
Hagrid had walked into the Great Hall and spotted Harry, Ron and Hermonie and walked over to them. Harry saw Hagrid coming and waved him over to the table. "Hi Hagird" said Ron, Harry, and Hermonie together. "Hello you lot, an' how did yeh's find your new Divination professor?" asked Hagrid. "She seemed less loony than Professor Twerlany, less likely to predict Harry's death this year." Said Ron grinning. Harry narrowed his eye's remembering the previous years she managed to predict his death. "Well she seemed to have an idea of what she was talking about, not just attempting to show off what skills she doesn't have" said Harry blandly. "She seems kind of young to be a Professor," said Hermonie questioningly. "Well she graduated out of Hogwarts a few years early on account o' her bein' above average, she reminds me a bit o' you Hermonie" said Hagrid. Hermonie became flushed in the face at hearing the comparison. "Well I wonder how Professor Umbridge will react to Dumbeldore decision without her or the Ministry's consultation?" Hermonie asked almost daringly. "You should have seen Professor Sgath today while Professor Umbridge was examining her, it was like seeing Professor McGonagal.only young." Ron said. "It was brilliant, I think I'm going to like Professor Sgath" piped in Dean Thomas. Harry took Hagrid aside as the other students were busy discussing other events that happened throughout the day. "Hagrid, Professor Sgath said that she should have recognized me.I should be used to it but it kind of got to me." Said Harry very quietly. "Well Harry, she was in school about the time your mum and dad were in Hogwarts, I sometimes recall her studin' in the library with Av..I mean Professor Sgath. Mind you Professor Sgath was a lot younger than your mum, they had some classes together." Said Hagrid. Harry just looked at him for a moment, "so your saying that Professor Sgath knew my mum?" "Yeh, I guess I am 'Arry" said Hagrid smiling. "Well I best be off now Harry, lot's to do, see you in class" said Hagrid brightly. Hagrid turned around and went up to the teacher's table to join Professor Flitwick. Hagrid left Harry at the Griffondor table half stunned. "Harry what is it?" asked Ron turning to face Harry. "Oh.uh..No, nothing just tired I guess.
Professor Sgath walked into the Great Hall up to the teachers table. As she was walking up to the teachers table she passed Harry and the Griffondor table. She met eyes with Harry and he looked at her for a moment and then looked away.
Precisely in a matter of 10 days Professor Sgath received her results from her Ministry evaluation, with her morning post, her handsome barn owl flew over her and dropped the ugly pink envelope on table and flew out the open window back to the owlery.
Professor Sgath, I have made the decision to keep you with temporary
probation
As you demonstrated more knowledge about Divination than the former
Divination's teacher, and as you have legitament proof of you Seerer heritage it proves that you are worth keeping on. However you did
demonstrate that you have a rash attitude and disrespect for authority.
Sincerely Professor Deloris Umbridge.
Professor was a mixture of irritated and amused by her comments. As she looked up from the letter she saw Professor Umbridge smile in her over sweetened smile. Again to Professor Sgath displeasure Professor Umbridge walked up to Professor Sgath. "Ah so you received my notice Ava, I must remind you that the Ministry is going to start having a tighter hold on the running of Hogwarts, it would do you much good not show me such mannerism's in front of the students." Said Professor Umbridge with the over used sweetness gone and only a sly smile replaced it. All the amusement that Professor Sgath had felt left her and was replaced by a wave of anger. "Yes Professor, I have noticed much of the Ministry's influence on the school already." Professor Sgath said with all distaste in her voice. "I do hope that the students well fare will not be affected by the changes that are at hand." Professor Sgath said with all warning in her voice. With that Professor Umbridge smiled hesitantly and turned around and went to the other side of the table. Professor Flitwick who had over heard what had happened turned to Professor Sgath and said, "Professor your words were well chosen but please try not to get on her bad side, we need you influence here, what with you and your parents being involved with Dumbeldore and all." "I'll try, it was just difficult then, I had just gotten my results from her "evaluation" just now." Said Professor Sgath going slightly red in the face.
Professor Sgath walked into the staff room, she appeared to have arrived early, and the only other teachers in there were Professor Sprout the herbalogy teacher, Professor McGonogal the transfiguration teacher and a heavily bruised Professor Hagrid the care of magical creatures teacher.
