Sophie arrived at Hogwarts with the rest of the students. Sophie entered the large castle and gasped.
It's so pretty! She thought. She walked over to a corner and set all her luggage down on the marble floor.
"Sophie DuBois?" asked a fairly familiar voice. Sophie looked up. It was Dumbledore.
"Hello sir!" she replied as she walked over to him. Sophie smiled at him.
"It's so great to have you here dear child" he said. Sophie was to be doomed to be called child forever because she was so sweet to elders.
"It's an honor to teach here" said Sophie as she looked around.
"Sophie, please care to join the rest of us in the great hall, I will have the house elf's put your bags in your room, and here is your key" Dumbledore handed Sophie a golden key. "I will have another teacher give you a tour after the meal" said Dumbledore.
"Thank you sir." said Sophie. They both smiled at each other and then Dumbledore continued. "You will teach 3 classes in the morning Sophie, I will go over everything you need to know, and I heard you are very good at defense against the dark arts" said Dumbledore eyeing Sophie.
"Remus told you didn't he?" she asked.
Dumbledore nodded.
"Please care to join us in the great hall" said Dumbledore. He led the way. Sophie followed him, leaving her bags behind for the elves.
The doors of the great hall opened as Dumbledore and Sophie walked to where the rest of the staff of Hogwarts was seated for the feast. All the students were seated in their house. Students whispered and looked at Sophie as she followed Dumbledore up the platform and to the feast table. Sophie found an empty seat next to a witch.
Dumbledore walked up to the podium and the hall fell silent.
"Welcome back old students, and welcome new students" he began the speech. "I have two important announcements to make. First off, I would like everyone to welcome your new defense against the dark arts teacher, Ms. DuBois." said Dumbledore turning to Sophie. Sophie stood up as everyone clapped. She smiled and nodded her head. A few students whistled, the entire staff had their eyes on Sophie as she sat down.
"Second of all, I would like to tell you that we will be having a music and dance program directed by none other than Ms. DuBois. She is a great performer. She is an actress, musician, and a professional ballerina and has great experience with media. We will have a musical to look forward too." Everyone clapped and whistled.
What was Dumbledore thinking? He was a complete genius. Of course he knows I love to dance and sing! I like this so far thought Sophie.
All the staff turned around and eyed Sophie again. She smiled faintly.
"Let the feast begin then!" said Dumbledore as tons of food appeared on every table along with desserts and beverages.
Sophie grabbed some Chicken, a salad, and some orange juice. She looked around. The staff was old looking. There were only a couple of young teachers, but she could tell that she was the youngest of them all.
Along the table Sophie spotted a teacher staring at her. He had jet black greasy hair, was as pale as a ghost and was dressed in all black. It scared Sophie. Every time she glanced at him, he was staring her straight in her eye. She turned around and faced the witch next to her.
"I'm sorry to bother, but do you know who's giving me a tour of Hogwarts?" she asked the red headed witch.
"Oh I am my dear" replied the witch. "By the way, I am professor McGonagall" she said. "You may call me Minerva."
"I'm Sophie DuBois" said Sophie as they both exchanged smiles.
"Who is that man with the greasy hair? He keeps starring at me" said Sophie.
"Oh, that's Severus Snape Sophie, he's the Potions teacher. He hasn't seen a young teacher for ages, you are a new thing to him" said McGonagall.
Sophie sighed and turned around to face Severus again. This time he was attacking his beef with his fork. He looked up and saw Sophie starring at him. She faintly smiled at him. When he saw what Sophie was doing, he stared blankly at her and then returned to his food picking.
Sophie turned back around and faced her own food. She was too nervous to eat. She stared at her food. Her strawberry brown hair was touching the plate when she realized that everyone was getting up and leaving.
"Come on Sophie follow me, let me show you around" said McGonagall as she stood up.
Sophie stood up and followed McGonagall wherever she went.
First they went to the Hospital wing, then the library, the classrooms, Dumbledore's office, the dungeons, the house common rooms.
"4 teachers are selected to be head of house" explained McGonagall. "You Sophie are going to be a co head of house with 2 houses. You are co- Gryffindor and co- Slytherin head of house. I am your partner in Gryffindor, and Severus is your partner in Slytherin" said McGonagall.
"Okay" said Sophie as she looked around.
"Now let me show you your room" said McGonagall.
Sophie followed McGonagall to the door next to the door of the DADA class. Sophie opened the door and saw a staircase. She looked at McGonagall with confusion.
"Go ahead. Use your keys to open the next door you see, and you could set up a password there if you like. I'm down the next level if you need anything" said McGonagall and then she left Sophie to her business.
Sophie closed the door behind her and walked up the staircase. The staircase was twisted and 24 steps later Sophie saw a door. Sophie put in the key and turned it. The door clicked open. Sophie entered a huge room. It was about 3 times the size of her flat. Sophie stared at the room in awe. It was her dream come true! She had pink wallpaper, pink sofas, a pink table and chairs. Almost everything was Pink, Black or Red. Her floor was solid redwood. Sophie saw another door leading to another room. She walked to the door and pushed it open. She entered her bedroom. It had a pink bed, and wooden drawers. She loved her new room. Sophie saw that the elves brought up her luggage so she started unpacking.
2 hours later it was 11:34 PM and Sophie was fast asleep on her new bed.
Dumbledore stood over the crystal ball in his office. Inside the ball there was Sophie, lying on her bed asleep in her pink pajamas. The door to Dumbledore's office opened and Severus Snape walked in.
"Ah, Severus, come look at the new sleeping beauty. That woman will bring great change to Hogwarts, I'm sure of it" he said.
Snape walked over to the crystal ball and looked down at it. Yes indeed, there was Ms. Prep sleeping in her royal bed like a princess.
I can't believe Dumbledore let this girly girl teach at Hogwarts. Dumbledore was wrong. She would bring everything bad to the school, like Pink! thought Snape.
"I hope you will talk to her Severus, she needs a guide, and Minerva is quite busy at the moment. Would you be so kind as to wake her up tomorrow?" asked Dumbledore.
What! Wake up that Drama Queen! No way! "Yes, I will wake her up sir" replied Snape.
"Perfect then, wake her up at 7:00. I need to talk to her about the dance and music program in the morning over breakfast." said Dumbledore. "Good night Severus" said Dumbledore as he continued to watch Sophie through the crystal ball.
"Good night Albus" said Snape as he left Dumbledore's office.
Snape was furious. He couldn't believe he was stuck with a woman like Sophie. He hated her style, her obsession with pink, and almost everything about her. Oh I'll wake her up really good.
