To say that Dahlia had been upset to see that WWW had not returned at the start of term, would have been an understatement. She had learned a lot during lessons and probably even more while helping tend to the creatures almost daily in the barns and sanctuary. This being only her third year at Hogwarts already so many professors that she had come to really really like, had left. It would be nice if they stuck around for awhile.

Even though WWW was no longer the professor and Paszek was, Lia still made a point to show up at the barns daily. That wasn't going to change. And just as she always did now when she arrived she announced her presence with a soft but cheerful, "Good morning everyone, how are you all doing today?" This hadn't always been something she had done when she entered the barn but it was now. It let not only the creatures now she was there but anyone else too.
