Suddenly, without warning, the cat stood up on all four paws and let out a loud cry. Those at the back of the hall were unlikely to hear it, but the staff and those with attentive ears at the front of the four House tables surely would have heard. It was time.

The pattern of the serval's fur began to expand, its ears grew small, its body quickly increased in size. Mere moments later, the African wild cat that was casually perched on the chair was no more. Now standing, looking out at the students, was a tall man clad in an orange-patterned cotton top. He smiled at those who had watched him return to his human form. Standing briefly in silence, he waited for those students at the dais to return to their seats before speaking.

"Good evening. I would like to welcome each of you, old and new, to Hogwarts. Before I introduce myself, it has come to my attention dat dere are two new staff members dis term: Professah Yoon, who will be teaching Divination, and Professah Stewart, who will be teaching Muggle Studies. Please join me in welcoming dese ladies as dey each begin deir journey here at dis legendary school."

He clapped his hands together, shifting his posture first toward Professor Yoon and then at Professor Stewart. He gave each woman a courteous nod of his head before he faced the students again.

"As you all can see, your da'ling Headmistress Moxley is not standing in front of you today. Da International Confederation of Wizards has arranged an exchange program for da headmastahs and headmistresses at each of da eleven major wizarding schools to promote international cooperation and broaden our own pedagogical perspectives," he explained with a warm smile, pausing to let his words sink in. "My name is Headmastah Sahnoun, and I taught alchemy at Uagadou School of Magic for twenty years before I became headmastah several years ago. Even dough I am far from my homeland, I am so glad to be joining you at Hogwarts dis term."

He paused again, only this time to feel his stomach churn. The smile on his face grew wider, knowing that everyone else must have been just as hungry. A low chuckle escaped his lips.

"I am sure dat you all have grown tired of listening to an old man ramble, so I will leave it at dat. Welcome to Hogwarts, and ready yourself for a year filled with many learning opportunities. Now, let us eat ... or, as we say at Uagadou, hebu kula!" The man then clapped his hands together and took his seat as food of all varieties appeared.
