It was a dark gloomy october morning. The stars were hidden behind heavy, wide clouds that coverd the sky. Today was Evangeline's first day as a Professor at Hogwarts. She herself had been a student not to long ago before furthering her studies. Her goal was originally to become an Auror, when Minerva so kindly sent an Owl inviting her to take on a new position, Spells and Charms. The previous Professor grew I'll and was made to resign their position at the end of the previous week. It brought the up most delight that she would now be back In the school she adored and loved.

As Eve stirred awake, she was greeted with the cold, sharp air. Her skin was pale as she pushed herself from her bed, draping her legs over the side. Firstly, she slipped on some fuzzy slippers to prevent her feet from further chill.  She looked around the room she had very carefully and delightfully decorated to her liking. It was already seeming like home. She glared down at the clock beside her, reading 5am. I guess it's time I prepare for the day she thought to herself.

As she stood up, she let out a loud yawn before slowly dragging herself to the bathroom just beyond her room. Most staff had to use the same bathroom, aside from Professor Snape who insisted on having his very own private chamber, with an Add on kitchen and study. Eve however, due to the time crunch and lack of room preparation, was given a room with a bathroom. Although she would never complain.

Given the amount of time she had before her fist class, she decided to take a quick bath to freshen up. Her long, curly brown hair hung loosely down her back as she bathed. After drying herself, she picked out her clothes and proceeded to get dressed. She decided on a pair of black Jean's, a dark green button up shirt and of course, her robes. She pared it all with black boots that had a slight heel. Pulling it all together with a light face of makeup, she was ready. Her first day at Hogwarts as a Professor.

First thing she did once leaving her room was greet all the Professors she seen. The first being Headmistress Mcgonagall.

"Oh, hello dear! It's good to see you again." Mcgonagall said to Eve as she approached her.

"Lovely to see you aswell, Headmistress." Eve cheerfully said to the elder woman.

Students quickly filled the halls of the school, their voices echoing throughout the corridors into the air. That's when she seen him. The tall, dark robed, dark hair Defence Against The Dark Arts Professor, Severus Snape. He quickly noticed her presence and walked toward her and Professor Mcgonagall.

"Miss Hale, pleasure to see you again."  Snape greeted Eve with a faint and grim smile.

"Professor Snape, pleasure is all mine! And might I say, Congratulations on your new position. I do hope you are happy with it." Eve kindeheartedly retured his smile with an even bigger, more enthusiastic one.

"Yes, I very much enjoy it. I've been told you're the new Spells and Charms Professor?" He said, seemingly happy with her title.

"You are correct, yes! I'm excited to be taking on this new role! Much different from what I had priviously in mind but nonetheless, very excited!"

He gave his famous side smile and bowed his head slightly. Previously, when Eve was a student she had a major crush on him. And although it had not fully dissipated yet, she is mature now and has more important things to be focusing on. One being a Professor.

"I certainly hope being a professor treats you well, along eith the students. You were always one of my best so I can expect great things from you. I have a class to get to, see you around."

And with that, he wiped his robes and was off. Seeing him happy and healthy brought joy to Eve. After the War with He who should not be named, he was badly injured and had dissapeared for some time before taking his job back at Hogwarts. All charges had been dropped against him with the killing of Dumbledore, and he now had a clean slate along with the other Death Eaters, most having served some time in Azkaban. But now all are fully accepted in the world and live their lives freely without the worry of His return.
