Wait... that professor... was too young to be a professor. Was that a student sitting up here?
Anyway...
"This is my first here year, too. Teaching, that is." Which is what they were talking about. "I did some teaching at the Wizarding University in Athens recently, though." Those were good times, up until recently. But, uhh... he didn't mention that. Melanie smirked to herself. Yes, Pierson, teaching here, she gathered that.
Wait. What did he just say?!
She gave a light laugh of disbelief. "No!" She was just in Greece recently. They couldn't have been in the same place at the same time, only to come teach here at the same time. That was way too coincidental. Quote:

Everyone did might as well let the new professors know as well. Oh! Another professor nearby! Melanie politely shook her hand. "Nice to meet you, Callie." Divination, eh? A subject Melanie couldn't get the hang of while she was a student, much to her frustration back then. Quote:

Chuckling softly, she cleared her throat quietly before asking, "Haff you studied at this school?" Fifth year? Wow. It took a lot of Melanie's will power to keep from raising her eyebrows in surprise. Not that that was a bad thing, it just seemed like quite a long time. Then again, she isolated herself in Greece for nearly EIGHT years. And, yes, the time absolutely flew.
"Yes," she smiled, "I was a Hufflepuff." At that, her gaze shifted to the student tables, quickly finding the one that she was all too familiar with. "Yourself?" She was guessing the answer was 'no', but felt that was a more polite way of asking where she was from than asking straight.
......
Suddenly, a hand was on her shoulder and as she looked at Piers, he had one, too. Melanie twisted in her chair toward Piers to see who the hand belonged to.
It was no one she recognized, but that was just as well, as she introduced herself. "Josephina. Hi," she smiled, "Melanie," she reached a hand up, "New Care of Magical Creatures Professor." The professors at Hogwarts certainly seemed more friendly than when she was a student here. Then again, the relationship she had with them was different this time. Professors were colleagues. It was all a little crazy to think of still, but very exciting at the same time.
