Students were not likely to understand adult decisions and motivations, but this girl seemed savvy. "Simply put, I had been out studying in the field for quite enough time and I missed the steady features of teaching." Like warm showers and large pay checks. "Hogwarts had a position and I took it. It helps that I already knew Professor Hadley from my previous teaching post." Fina had been a good friend in South Africa.
It seemed that their conversation on hair and boys and other drama Sophie had suddenly encountered had now wrapped itself up. Sophie looked down at the parchment she now had in her hands. She had what she'd come for and had even introduced herself to the new professor, so her work here was done. Professor Domingo probably had a million other things to do anyway.
"Well, welcome to Hogwarts," she said.
"I enjoyed your first class." She stood up and nodded toward the parchment.
"Thanks again. I should get going. Homework and all." Three subjects of it to be exact.
