Seeing Fred

A Day at Hogwarts

Minerva and Leah walked in the nearly empty corridors of the castle as most students were in class. Leah tried to map everything in her head, trying to remember certain points but the hallways all looked alike.

"You'll find your way soon enough." Minerva smiled as she watched her look around frowning. "Ah, here we are." She stopped in front of a painting with an elderly couple that worked on a crossword puzzle together. "Good afternoon, Louis and Agatha."

"Minerva, dear." The older woman smiled. "Oh." She jumped up in the painting excitingly when she saw Leah. The man didn't look up as he checked his answers. "Do we have a new resident?"

"Yes, Agatha. This is Leah, she'll be staying here, duration still undetermined."

"A password, dear?" She asked as she looked at her.

"A password?"

"Yes, so only people can enter if they know your password."

"Oh, alright... The legend of Zelda."

"Oh, who's that, dear?" The older woman asked curious. "Never heard of her."

"It's a computer game."

The expression of the elderly woman almost made her fall into a laughing fit. Agatha shook her head and smiled before she opened her portrait.

The room was beautiful decorated. Next to the window were two large armchairs with a bookcase in between. In the corner a desk to set up her computer and on the other side of the room a small kitchenette with a dinner table. Two doors filled the wall on the right, one to her bedroom and one to a large bathroom. She dropped her box on the table and looked around in awe. She went up to the window and saw the large goalposts of the quidditch pitch.

"In case you get lost, this is the 7th floor. I'll let you get settled in." She waved her wand over her things, as they turned back to their normal state. "There is a faculty meeting in an hour, I'll introduce you. Do you want me to get you?"

"Uhm." She said turning around, back to Minerva. "Is it in your office?" Minerva nodded. "No, then I'll be fine, I think. If I'm not there in an hour and a half, call a rescue party." She joked. "Oh, and I told Fred and George we'll do it this Sunday."

"I need to ask, are you sure?"

"I'm fine, really."

"Alright. I'll see you at four." She smiled and disappeared out the portrait. Leah took in the room on more time before she walked back to her box and unpacked everything. After she put her muggle technology on the right place, she frowned as she couldn't find an outlet. I'll ask Minerva later. She thought to herself and went to the bedroom to unpack her suitcase.

She was only ten minutes late when she found Minerva's office again. When the gargoyle turned, she climbed the stairs to her office. Before she opened the door, she could hear muffled voices through it. She slowly pushed the door open and all eyes in the room instantly fell on her.

"Ah, Leah." Minerva smiled. "I almost send out the rescue party."

"I still had twenty minutes before you were supposed to send one." She grinned.

"Thank you all for coming." Minerva said to the teachers. "This is Leah Derijker. She'll be staying here for the time being, she is being housed at Agatha and Louis' chambers."

"Hi." She gave a small wave. "I know you probably have some questions; I'll answer the ones I can, but I, myself don't know everything." She glanced around the room and looked at every single set of eyes that where on her. She and Minerva agreed to fill them in on her family history and her sight, but not include one certain Weasley. In the whole room there were four people she met before. Sybil gave her a dreamy smile before she stared back out the window. Madam Pince pushed her glasses up her nose as Madam Pomfrey gave her a small nod and a smile. Minerva stood firmly on her right as the others started to introduce themselves.
