Between Us, Teachers

@thebloodychampion

The first night.

It always had some magical power in Hogwarts, even though even knowing magic existed Darcie was aware of the fact it was nothing but a feeling, nothing more. However, even now, as she had started her job, it gave her some kind of a thrill.

“Then... lessons tomorrow, eh?” she said to the man next to whom she stood, watching the students leave the Great Hall. “It’s a bit like going back to the times when we were among them.”

Quite a lot had changed since she had last been there... But Hogwarts was always Hogwarts - it was her home. There was something to this place that made everyone feel at home.

The students were about to arrive, and everything was ready, so all the teachers had to do was wait. Darcie stood right next to a man she really did not remember, and it made things unpleasantly complicated, because it meant she could not avoid the whole introducing thing.

“Hi, I’m Darcie,” she said straightforwardly, since she had never been good at making friends. Right now, though, she was completely alone in here. “I’m going to teach History of Magic.”

The first week of the new job had been a difficult one; Professor McGonagall, at the very moment of hiring her, had told her that it would be so, but Darcie had still hoped that it would not be so.

Apparently she had put too much trust in the Slytherins.

Perhaps it would have been wiser for her to visit the Three Broomsticks, but since it was usually overcrowded, even when the students were not around, Darcie had chosen to head to the Hogs Head.

“Butterbeer, please,” she said, her voice tired, as soon as she had approached the counter.

“Oh, Tom!”

Darcie stopped all of sudden, turning to glance at the boy she was just passing by. It had been a while since she had last seen him, and honestly, she had alreayd got quite worried. Especially since she had not seen him in the hospital wing.

Of course, it did not mean that she would like to see him there, but if she had, she would have at least known what had happened to him. And now...

“It’s been a while since I last saw you,” she said, tilting her head slightly to the side. “Is everything all right?”

“Good God, I’m so sorry.”

Perhaps it was the right time for Darcie to get a pair of glasses; she had been struggling with her eyes for years now, and it usually made her run into people. Well - hardly ever did she actually knock them over; usually, just like right now, she accidentally elbowed them.

Besides, it was the headquarters of Ministry of Magic, overcrowded as usually. Even with good eyesight one could collide with someone else.

“I hope I didn’t destroy your robes.”

All Beginnings Are Difficult || Open starter

The first day at work had not gone as well as Darcie would have wished. Perhaps she was not the best teacher… but she was far away from giving up; after all, she had worked really hard to get this job. Now, she simply needed to find a way to prove everyone, herself included, that she could get better.

There was still some time left before she would have to go downstairs, to join everyone in the Great Hall for dinner, so she stayed in her office, unpacking the books she had brought with herself. Of course, she could use magic to do that… but for some reason, doing that with her own hands calmed her down a little.

“Once again I’m asking you if you have the book you borrowed from me,” said Darcie, her voice strangely firm and cold as she spoke.

It had been over a month, and she truly needed it back. The exams were getting dangerously close, even if the other had not noticed it yet. Easter break always meant that it was time to focus on studying, and that was also the reason why she wanted to get the book back.
