a new teacher

Alexi stood against the wall in the shadows behind her desk and waited for her students to arrive

Caroline slunk into the dungeons. Could she do anything else? Slinking seemed appropriate. She was alternately thrilled and a bit scared to be there. She looked around the room as she entered, drinking in the ambiance and trying not to imagine why the school had ever had a dungeon to begin with. She sat down, still peering around the room...she didn't even notice that the teacher was there.

'hello miss..' Alexi said standing out of the shadows, seeing that she obviously startled the girl
'5 points to' she peered at the girls robes to see her house 'ravenclaw for being the first person here'

Caroline jumped and nearly sent her cauldron clanging to the floor, but she managed to catch it before it did. "W-Weasley" she said "Caroline Weasley" she giggled a little. Her introduction had reminded her of those movies the parents of one of her muggle friends liked to watch...the secret agent ones. Then she felt foolish for giggling and added "Professor Malfoy, ma'am" and sat rather rigidly. She giggled a little again, fighting the urge to salute. Oh dear, why were introductions always so awkward?

Alexi smiled at the girl
'thank you miss weasley, we're just waiting for a few more students to arrive so we can start'
