We Meet Again

Mr. Haddock

Hey,, I really enjoyed redeveloping this fanfic,  I hope to do for other and maybe start writing again :D

I hope you guys still like the version, its the same story just hopefully better written but with the same elements that you liked :D

"Come in" I hear faintly on the other side as I knocked on the door.

"Miss. Hofferson, nice to meet you" Mr. Walsh, the principal said, I was surprised when I applied that he was still running the place. As though he wasn't the oldest principal I've meet. I didn't think he would stay for so Iong but yet again I'm back here also, just as a teacher.

We sat down and he gave me a run down of my classes, it felt like he doesn't remember me as I have matured but I still have the same surname and face...

We finished up with all the information, "Miss. Hofferson, you can do an introduction class today if thats okay. I know its just P.E. (physical education, I'm not sure what other ppl call it but thats what it is where I live) but one of our teachers here, who was a student here also really wants every student here to feel..... wanted and... important" I could tell he seemed hesitant or even disappointed when staying the last few words.

"Perfect!" I smiled at him "I'll love to sir, and this isn't a big school, it shouldn't be hard." We walked out to the hall and made our way to a classroom.

"No need for this 'Sir', we're colleagues" I just smiled at him.

"Sir, it's a habit, you can't tell me I've changed that much over the past few years. I even was class president for my final year.... or is... old age catching up?" I hesitantly said, he broke out in a smile and patted my shoulder.

"My, my, Astrid! Your a fine lady now" he barked loudly, he looked around, though the school is empty as students and most teachers aren't in for another 10 minutes, and turned to me

"I know I don't look it but maybe the age is catching up to me."
"Never sir, you look as young as ever."

I sat in the office, as I waited for students to come into the gym.

I looked up and saw a fews students look at me, whispering  as they went into the dressing rooms. As the school is small, I'll be having every year. (I will be referring grades like Grade 11 as 4th year, the same age group but i will add the age, I don't have grades, I just have years ;P, I'll have more info at the end just to clear things up uwu) I was told I'll have 5th years today and the music teacher will be watching from the balcony as I'm new and he's their Year Head. 

After a while students started to come out and into the gym.

I waked in after a bit with a new tablet, Mr. Walsh gave me. "Hello, I'm Miss. Hofferson and I'm the new P.E. teacher" I glanced at everyone, it was a year of more guys than girls.

"Is everyone out?" I mainly got nods, this is going to be long.

"Well, today we'll be just chatting today and a few games as you guys are dressed as its the end of the day so, lets just take it easy for today." I got a few smiled and nods, 'okay that's something' I thought.

"If you could make yourself sit in a circle, we'll get started and I'll take attendance... if I can work this" I mumbled the last part to myself.

As they got into a circle I walked over at strand behind behind two girls as they chatted, I stop a bit back as I still remember what's it like to have a teacher stand right behind while your talking, and a new teacher at that.

"This fu...f..ueling tablet is so lovely- and slow" I said to myself, I hear a few snickers.

I glanced up and saw most of the class looking at me. "I know you're all cursing and stuff but like I'm still a teacher so like I don't know that and see you as snowflakes" I see some of them smiling more, "So like can one of you help me? Si- Mr. Walsh didn't explain how to use this and just handed to me and I haven't gotten use to it, even if I haven't had it for a day." 

"Here, let me see." I saw a hand reach from behind and took it, "Miss. Hofferson, thank you for not cursing in front of my students."

A man, my age smiled at me. I felt something was behind that smile and I was guessing he was the music teacher.

He started calling the attendance.

He handed me the tablet back to me after "I'm the music teacher and their Year Head." He turned back to the class and we started the class.

"Alright, everyone thank you for staying back. This is Miss. Astrid Hofferson, she is our new P.E. teacher" Mr.Walsh said to all the staff, I recognised some as teacher and some as teacher that where student teachers when I was here.

I could tell some teachers where strict and seemed hard to talk to so I had a small chat as some left. Some greeted me and apologised that they had to leave due to other plans. 

"So Miss.Hofferson, I guess we meet again. It's fate" he said smirking.

I just looked at him, "yes maybe, or it's just that we both work at the same school, Mr...?" He gave a gentle laugh "Haddock, my apologies." I nodded and looked around the staffroom.

"I'm Henry.... Haddock, Henry Haddock, my lady at your services" I scoffed 'my lady, my ass.'

I glanced at him "Astrid" I said simply as I drank some water. "Divine Beauty, no lie there is their?" he smirked, I choked on the water.

"Divine Strength I prefer, thanks." He smiled, it felt real for the first time, he laughed also "it does.... it really does" he said gently.

felt my face warm up but I ignored it as i drank my water looking away "I know" I smiled.

I hope you liked this, I plan to get this done over the christmas break. Maybe rewrite two chapters a day once I'm on break. I want to keep Hiccups new personality but not make him a jerk. Hopefully the level I have him at is good and I changed Astrid profession as physical because I feel that suits her more but she does still a music teacher.

About the Grades and Years, if the Grade/Year anyone teaching I'll also say their age just to make it easier and also this is a high school which is 6 years, there no middle school where I live so just for the information :D

If the story going to fast or slow please tell, any feedback will be lovely, thank you!
