Point Of View
Chapter 9
Willow POV
I feel a bit better after meeting Hermione. I get the feeling that I'll have at least one friend here.
I watch the students as they enter the room. Most of them notice me and start whispering to their friends. I smile to myself.
I can do this.
Before I know it the tables are filled with students. They are all talking among themselves. I can tell that they've noticed me and I seem to be the main topic of conversation.
I am sitting next to Dumbledore and he stands and raises his hand for silence. I'm surprised how quickly the students respond to him.
"Well" he began, "I know you are all wondering who the lovely young lady is, next to me." Dumbledore says. I can feel my face starting to go red. "And I can tell you that you're assumptions are correct. May I introduce, Miss Willow Rosenburg, Your new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor." he motions for me to stand.
I stand up and half smile. I do a sort of wave then sit down quickly.
Dumbledore then tells everyone to enjoy dinner.
I look at my empty plate when all of a sudden it is filled with food. I smile and start to eat.

Minerva McGonagall, the Deputy Headmistress is taking me to my room. We arrive at an Angel statue.
"Chocolate Marshmallows" she says and I watch in amazement as the statue moves to the side revealing a doorway. Minerva turns to me and says "That is your password, feel free to change it when you like."
I thank her and then turn to enter my new room.
It is fairly large. What I enter seems to be a mini-lounge room, with a large desk and bookshelves filled with the book I brought.
I feel a bit guilty; I "borrowed" a couple of Giles' books. I look around a bit more. There is a couch and I fireplace. Up a couple of steps there are two doorways. Upon closer examination I find that one is the bathroom and the other is the bedroom.
I enter the bedroom to find my belongings at the bottom of the bed.
Walking over to my clothes, I pull on my pyjamas and climb into bed. I'm feeling tired all of a sudden, and I have to teach lessons first thing in the morning.
Things are beginning to look up.
