[Chapter 2- The Introductions]

✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰

Genevieve quickly gathered all her belongings into her brown leather-bound briefcase, before going over each room one more time to make sure she didn't forget anything. After the final gaze upon the space, she apparated outside the gates of Hogwarts once more, ready for the trek ahead of her.

~*~*~*~*~*~

After roaming through the endless corridors, Genevieve made it to the staff room, located on the east side of the teacher's wing. A few professors were already there such as Pomona Sprout, Ronalda Hooch,  Cuthbert Binns, Filius Flitwick and Quirinus Quirrell. They were all talking amongst themselves until Pomona noticed Genevieve, standing alone.

"Genevieve Valerian Blackwell, so good to see you dear, but what exactly are you doing here?" she asked Genevieve referring to her standing in the staff room.

"Good to see you too Professor. I'm the new Theory of Magic Professor."She answered back, now looking at her shoes.

"Well that's brilliant pet I'll show you around and introduce you to everyone then." Pomona brought the girl into a bone-crushing hug.

"Let go of her Pomona before you strangle the poor thing" A white-haired woman scolded as Pomona released her hold on Genevieve. Professor Sprout and Genevieve always got on quite admirable as she was best in her Herbology class. (with help from her houses knowledge on everything.)

Pomona stepped back allowing the silvery haired, quite tall woman to come into view.

"Ronalda Hooch, Flying Professor, a pleasure to meet you." she greeted holding out her hand as a gesture.

"Genevieve Blackwell but you can call me Gen/Vi, it's lovely to meet you also, " Genevieve replied courtly returning the handshake.

"Well come on we have to do everyone else" Pomona rushed her around, introducing her to all the other professors and those missing.

"Ooo wait here while I get Filius." Pomona rushed off leaving Genevieve to entertain herself until she successfully attained Professor Flitwick.

Genevieve looked around the room. It was full of dark furniture and leather hide sofas, for royalty. On one side of the box-shaped space was a ginormous bookshelf, full of books to last anyone a lifetime. While she was looking at the array novels, textbooks and biographies, she failed to notice the professor making his way over to her. Genevieve twirled around, stumbling into him.

"Fearfully fascinating t-t-theory of m-magic. Isn't i -it eh?" he stuttered regaining his balance.

"Uh yes it is " she replied nervously.

"Sorry about knocking you over, very rude of me." she apologised as she straightened out her blouse and trousers.

"N-o-o harm d-d-d-one. I'm Quirinus Quirrell, p-professor of m-mug-gle s-st-ud-ies." he introduced himself, fumbling with his hands.

Genevieve was getting very uncomfortable with the conversation taking place.

"Pleasure" she responded before being cut off.

" Can I have your attention, please?"McGonagall called over the chatting of staff members, catching up on long-awaited gossip.

"Welcome back professors, old and new, to another year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Dumbledore addressed the professors.

"Now I hope you all had an eventful summer and are ready to teach again" Many groans could be heard over the enthusiasm of the headmaster.

" This year, I would like to welcome Professor Genevieve Blackwell, who will be taken up the theory of magic post" Dumbledore gestured towards Genevieve to stand up. So she awkwardly stood up and waved at the professors that had arrived. The professors (some more than others) gave her a round of applause as she sat back down in the brown armchair.

"Yes welcome Miss Blackwell, but the celebrations are not over yet." he addressed the staff as tried to get in some last-minute conversations.

" Like you, all know Professor Slughorn retired last year, after many years of dedication to the art of potion-making, we welcomed a new potion master to our school."

" I am pleased to announce that Professor Snape will be taking over the post as head of Slytherin house." Dumbledore declared, joining in on the applause for the young professor.

Genevieve had dozed out of the conversation until she heard the man's name.'Professor Snape, what an unusual name.' She looked around trying to find the owner of the mysterious name, only to see the pig-headed individual from her interview, being brought over to her by the headmaster.

"Miss Blackwell, I don't think you've had the pleasure of being introduced to our potions master, Professor Snape" Dumbledore motioned to tall, greasy-haired man, with a snarl evident in his lips.

"I have sadly" she retorted back, giving Snape a hard glare, as Dumbledore gave  McGonagall a look of enquiry. She simply shakes her head and watches the episode unfold.

Severus spoke next.

"This is the ignorant woman who I was telling you about" he emphasised the word ignorant, directing it to Genevieve.

"Well, Severus I wouldn't say that.." Dumbledore was cut off by Genevieve.

"Ignorant!" she huffed.
"Are you sure you aren't referring to yourself, because as I recall you ran into me, but are too big-headed to admit it!"she smirked as she saw Snape clench his jaw. Their bickering had also attracted the attention of the other professors, as they huddled around the pair.

"I think it's best we.." Dumbledore tried to ease the situation, only to be cut off once again.

"Big-headed!" Severus barked back.
"You walked into me, but obviously your bird-sized brain doesn't have the capacity to remember events properly." Severus was the one to smirk as he saw Genevieve furrow her eyebrows in annoyance.

"Why you little.." she was cut off by Albus, who had had enough of their childlike behaviour.

"THAT IS ENOUGH." he shouted over their quarrel.

"I will not tolerate this behaviour in my school especially from teachers." he gave a glare of disappointment to both professors.

"Now you are both to leave and go to your dormitory's until you are called for supper"

"Fine" they both chorused before giving each other one last flash of hatred and stormed down opposite ends of the corridor.

McGonagall was the first to break the silence.

"That went well didn't it" the rest of the staff members burst out laughing and continued on with there conversations, now with a new topic to gossip about.
