Hi guys, sorry for the late updates.
Stepping out of the headmaster's office, Albus led her through the same floor and not very far from the office stood a cat statue. Albus brought his hand under the chin of the statue and scratched it lovingly. The cat moved as if it was real and purred.
"Tabby." He whispered and the cat moved aside revealing an ornate door. Minerva was watching all this with awe. She gasped when she saw the door. It was filled with minute details. "Wait until you see inside the room, Minerva."
Albus tapped his wand at a few peculiar points on the door and placed his palm on one spot. She was wondering what he was doing. "Place your palm here Minerva. It is so that the door recognises your magic and gives you access to open the door."
She placed her hand as she was told and felt a tingling sensation, she could feel her energy pulse through. Then the door opened and she was stunned to see how it was inside. It was really beautiful.
"This is the sitting room, there is your kitchen area, there your bedroom and the restroom is attached inside. The place can be extended if needed." He finished with a smile.
Everything was so beautiful. "Albus this is really good. I didn't know teachers lived in so beautiful chambers."
He chuckled, "Yes Minerva, Hogwarts provides it's teachers with the best. As they spend the whole year here and get only few days off. Of course the students also spend the complete year here at Hogwarts. But they only spend seven years. Whereas our teachers here spend Merlin knows how long or how short. "
She smiled, I am going to spend the rest of my life here if everything goes well.
"I'll pray that everything goes well, Minerva" Her eyes grew wide.
"Uhmm, I am sorry. I didn't mean to pry. I am a Legilimens. I can't help it, your thoughts are very loud."
" Oh." was all she could say. Fuck! was he listening to my thoughts from the beginning. Oh what about when I was a student. Merlin please do not put me in an awkward situation.
"Minerva, all teachers take suite atleast five days before the term begins. Some of them arrive before that. Some stay here for the summer. Now that it is confirmed you are taking up the job, please decide when you will be moving in. But make sure you are here by 25th August. I can request our house-elves to assist in moving your belongings here."
Minerva nodded, "I'll go right away and submit my resignation letter, inform my parents and settle a few matters Albus. I'll send a letter to you when I am ready."
"Very well then, Once again welcome to Hogwarts my dear." With that Minerva knew her life was going to change forever.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Minerva entered her apartment with so much of delight and satisfaction. She removed her clothing one by one and got into a comfortable clothing. Well it was such a good day. Thinking about the day she threw herself very unladylike on the bed and let sleep takeover.
••••••••••••••••••••
Next day she found herself infront of her higher official with her resignation letter. "Minerva, I can't believe you are quitting this wonderful job. You wouldn't get anything better. With you being a witch people will not give you any job."
"Well, it's not like I was not discriminated here Mr. Quinn. I have got one of the best jobs anyone can get. I have been asked by the headmaster of Hogwarts to take up the job of Transfiguration Professor. Now if you don't mind , I'll take my leave." She was very happy to see the surprised look on his face.
With that she left his office and walked to her desk gathered her things and left. When she reached home she packed all her things. As she went through her wardrobe she mentally made a note to buy robes that would be ethical for teaching. After she had packed everything, she sat on her couch with some hot cocoa. Now the most difficult part. Mother and Father. Oh god how am I going to talk to them.
