Chapter 2 : Meeting again
Chapter 2 : Meeting again
Minerva McGonagall was now the new head teacher at Hogwarts, this was a title she was finding it hard to get used to, and now she had a position to fill and wasn't sure if she could find anyone to fill it before the start of term. Although she did receive a letter a few days ago
Dear Headmistress McGonagall
I would like to request an audience with you about recent events and a teaching position I know you are having difficulty filling, especially now as its so close to the new term. I would be more than willing to take the position of Defence Against the Dark Arts should you choose to offer it to me, i have the necessary experience and you'll know this once we meet, that is if you remember me. Maybe we could catch up?
Hope to hear from you soon
Always Faithful
R D
She responded straight away of course, she need a DADA teacher and now she was waiting on this potential Teacher arriving at the school, due here for a chat any minute now. Even though the letter was signed RD, there was something about it, the hand writing was familiar, but still she was a bit wary. Anyhow needing a full teaching staff before the school was to reopen in September, she didn't think she had much of a choice but to meet this potential applicant.
She was of course going to continue teaching this years Transfiguration classes and Slughorn had agreed to return as Potions teacher as well as the Head of Slytherin so she just had the DADA teacher to replace, and hopefully this person would consider taking charge of her little Gryffindor’s (really head teacher, head of Gryffindor and Transfiguration teacher would be too much to handle). She did think about asking Remus to take back the role, but he turned her down saying ''I don't think parents will be too thrilled with a werewolf teaching their kids. So as she waited she read through the new first year list and sipped a hot cup of coffee which was brought up to her by Dobby the house elf not that long ago ''Miss McGonagall needs to keep her energy up miss'' as he put it, he also brought her a plate of her favourite sandwiches.
Now there she was eating her sandwiches and drinking coffee as a knock came to the door, finishing quickly she took a sip of coffee ''Come in'' she called as she raised her head to watch the door. As it opened a hooded figure entered the room, Minerva's hand instantly reached for her wand, just incase, not being able to see the persons face left her feeling edgey and unsure. As the figure drew closer she lowered her hood. Minerva saw who it was ''Rhiannon?'' she said under her breath, though she was slightly older than she remembered but still just the same, she was wearing deep blue travelling robes, which suited her with her long dark hair and twinkling eyes, just like her fathers, eyes she had been lost in before, and could see it quickly happening again.
''Professor'' Rhia said reaching her hand out ''Nice to see you again''
Minerva took her hand giving it a gentle shake ''Yes nice to see you again, R D? bit cryptic wouldn't you think''
''If you knew who i was would you have agreed to meet with me?'' Rhia asked studying her face
''Maybe not'' Minerva replied, trying not to laugh ''So Defence Against the Dart Arts, you want to teach?'' she questioned doubt in her eyes, and hinted in her voice, she didn't think Rhiannon ever wanted to teach, she had always expressed a wish to become an auror while she was at school.
Rhia nodded ''Yes if your willing to have me on your teaching staff that is, you know who trained me, you know of my skill having seen it before, if you don't think I’m the right choice then say so now and I’ll never darken your door again'' there was something that flashed in Rhia's eyes as she said this, it was anger, this was something she had always wanted, not that she had admitted it before and she could see it slipping, and she so desperatly wanted to fulfil her fathers wishes, there needed to be a Dumbledore at Hogwarts.
''Rhiannon thats not what i meant, if you want the position its yours'' Minerva said ''But i must warn you, we've had a different teacher in this post each year for the last 6 years''
''I'm a Dumbledore, I’m planning on sticking it a while'' she smiled ''My father wanted me to return, I’m sure you guessed I’d be here eventually''
Minerva nodded ''I thought as much, there’s another position i need to fill and was hoping you'd consider that as well?''
''Oh, what would that be'' Rhia asked starting to feel a little more comfortable
''Head of Gryffindor?'' Minerva said simply waiting for a reaction.
Rhiannon sat there in silence for what seemed like an eternity to Minerva, as she considered the offer - this was a lot for her to ask Rhia was sure, and knowing that she trusted Rhia with this task meant there was something still there, she smiled ''I'd be happy to take the position, if your sure''
''Oh that is good news'' Minerva said happy that she'd accepted the position ''Now, as you may remember the new teaching year starts on the first of September when the students arrive for the welcoming feast, where the new students will be sorted into their houses etc''
''Min, i remember, now relax'' Rhia said laughing a little ''I'll have my stuff moved up to the castle along with myself tomorrow, we can go over more then, right now i have to go home and pack my books and robes'' she said standing up
''Ok pop into my office once your settled into the school and we'll go over the curriculum'' Minerva said walking her to the door and seeing her out, and as quickly as she had arrived she was gone again, but hopefully this wouldn't be like the last time. How she argued with Albus time and time again, desperate to find out where Rhia was, but she didn't succeed and was resigned to believe that she wouldn't see this beautiful woman again. Their relationship had been frowned upon to start with (after all when it started Rhia had been in her final year at Hogwarts), but they didn't care they had fallen in love. But she had disappeared during Voldemorts first campaign, she never really gotten over it, she'd had few broken relationships since but no one like Rhia and now she was back.
Minerva returned to her desk with a smile on her face, this was going to be an interesting school year indeed, her burden lightened a little now that she had a full teaching staff. And Rhiannon was back, hopefully this time it was for good.
