"Ruby, you could never disturb me," Antonio said. He was just glad to see that Ruby was still here. "How are you doing?", he asked softly. She and Sakura had suffered the most of any of them, it was they whose loss was amongst the biggest, besides Liam, of course, and they were both so young. He knew that things would get easier in time, but the wound would never heal completely. Part of John would always be with Ruby, and nothing could ever change that.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, Victoria," Antonio said. "Would you like to take a look around and see some of the things in here?"

"Oh, royalties, huh?", Antonio asked. "You are very lucky then, Daniel. The royals are the highest class of muggles, highly revered and envied. In fact, they are almost like wizards themselves as far as the muggles go. People respect them and idolize them, but sometimes they invade their privacy, too. They're celebrities in their own right, and unfortunately, the muggles tend to do that sort of thing with their celebrities." Antonio would never understand why the muggles were so obsessed with people who were famous. But that probably isn't what you wanted to know, is it?"

Antonio heard yet another knock on the door and opened it. "Hello. I'm Professor Dumont, come on in and join the party," he gestured. Already there were a lot of students inside, most of them girls, but he was determined to answer any questions that might come up. He understood that the students were happy to be back at Hogwarts and the first years were excited to be here.

ooc: I started a new job, so bear with me, everyone. I have to work an hour and a half longer there, and Wednesday is my bowling night. I will check and respond at least once a day and more often on the weekends. I promise!
