Within five minutes, the gleaming scarlet steam engine had come to a complete stop. Well, here goes nothin'! Ali prepared to perform his first official duty as Groundskeeper as students began to pour from the carriages. He cleared his throat and put on his best commanding voice.
"Firs' year students, o'er here! All firs' years bring your things and gather 'round me!"
He continued repeating his call. He would wait for several minutes until he was sure he had everyone. Minerva got off the train, they were pretty much here. Back to school, her fifth year. Wow, she just couldn't believe it.. Thinking about the past few years and all the changes Minerva couldn't help but smile a bit. Some changes were good, others were bad. Looking around her eyes fell on a new person and she frowned a bit, even when she knew Gibbons wasn't coming back it still made her sad. She had gotten to know every groundskeeper that had come to hogwarts while she was there and to think about it, there had been many changes. Not sure why that was she walked over towards the new person.
Checking over her robes she stopped in front of him and smiled,
"Hello, just thought I'd stop and introduce myself before going to the carriage. I'm Minerva Wheatborn, Hufflepuff. I hope you are liking Hogwarts so far." Nothing wrong with showing a nice welcome to the new Groundskeeper, she hoped he was nice.
