Headmistress Lillian Van Nikolai
Lillian sent off a letter to Austin:
Dear Austin,
I've heard about the situation of you working in the broom company for the Lewis family. Recent events have come to light with Richard being at the school and it seems that Richard is using your job to hang over Rhiannon and get information from her. The fine details may take too long to explain, but the point is, I'm offering you a job at Hogwarts. You can come teach the flying and apparition classes. I must warn you though, you can't show prejudice to the students. Even if you love Rhiannon, at class, she is another student. I hope you accept, I hope to see you soon. Also note that even though I know about your drug use and alcohol consumption, they are not permitted when you're teaching. If you have a weekend off I obviously can't control you. But under this school, you follow my rules.
Headmistress Nikolai
And she got a reply within an hour. It was short and to the point, and just what she wanted to hear;
Dear Headmistress,
Understood and I accept. Anything to get me out of this factory, I don't care about the promotion I got here, Lewis is still a jerk. I'll be there first thing in the morning.
Austin
Lillian showed the letters to Rose so she wouldn't be as confused.
"Well Rose." She sighed, "We have a new Professor."

Rose opened her eyes wide as Lucas came in. She listened to his story. Austin? Was this the same Austin...as in Rhiannon the unicorn killer's beau?Oh god she hoped not. She listened closer and grumbled something. It was indeed Rhi's boyfriend. She sighed and listened. Something in her heart broke when she saw the tears in Lucas' eyes. It was rare for a guy to cry. It made her heart swell. "Aww Lucas!" She said biting her lip. She felt so bad.
She stopped when she heard the name Richard. "As in Richard Lewis? That toerag who flirted with me in the girl's bathroom? Seriously I am not exactly the brightest, but I can tell when I am being flirted with and I can also tell a cheater from a mile away. You win her back Lucas, okay! Wait!!! What did he do to Al?" She wondered raising an eyebrow. She nodded when the headmistress wrote the letter. "If he is anything like Rhi I would most definitely not like him." She said with an upturned nose.
I don't wanna look like you because
You're too perfect, too perfect
And I don't want to fill your shoes because
It's not worth it, it's not worth it
I don't fit the mold I am real
Too colorful to conceal
Imperfect is the new perfect"

"Don't worry." Lillian said. "You leave worrying about what he's like to be. I'm sure this can work. In the meantime, let's get back to our lesson. Try once more with the airway-clearing spell, we were interuppted"
She had mixed feelings about this. She didn't like the idea of Austin working for her, but she liked the idea of Richard being put in his place, her daughter and Fionna safe. And Austin might not be too bad of a teacher, really. Especially if he had the expierience. And goodness knows they needed a new flying and apparition Professor.

Callysto Volkova; usually calm and collected, was visibly shaking. She hadn't seen Lillian in so long, hadn't spoken to her in so long. She'd been in Norway for several months, was planning on being there for several months longer even. But she'd become so heart-broken and home-sick from being away from Lillian, her one true Love she'd been forced to return. She stuck her hand in her pocket and fiddled with the item residing there. The other hand pushed open the door to the Headmistress's office and she walked in. "Lillian, Love; I'm back."

Lillian gasped and her eyes widened to the size of galleons.
It couldn't be...but there was no mistaking it.
"C-Callysto!?" She half-yelled. Callysto had gone away over the summer and Lillian had truly wondered if she'd ever really come back. But here she was, just in front of her.
She gave Callysto a tight hug, but no kiss just yet. That could wait.
Callysto, you know Rose. I'm teaching her about becoming a healer, possibly Hogwarts nurse...uhm, wow this is such a suprise! I'll be right with you, Callysto..." She couldn't stop smiling now. She wished she could just lunge at Callysto, hug her and never let go, but she was in the middle of a lesson and she didn't want to leave Rose again.
"Anyways, Rose...so try once more, clearing the passageway. Be sure to say the spell clearly and anunciate." She was still grinning, a happy schoolgirl shone through her eyes.

Rose nodded. She hated not being part of all this drama. She felt like she might be missing out of some majorly interesting Hogwarts drama. And Rose loved drama. She believed her nickname should have been Drama. Rosewood Drama Edgecombe. She laughed at the sound of that. "Awwww....Whaaa? I never get to know any of this stuff." She pouted like a little child then quickly got back into the lesson, her eyes widening. "Oooh! Sorry ma'am. I just like, seriously love all of this dramatic stuff." She replied cheerfully, a large smile playing on the corners of her lips. She nodded. "Of course." She weaved her fingers together and cracked her knuckles. She took a deep breath and began the spell. "Ana-" Suddenly she was interrupted by an opened door.There was Professor Volkova, Hogwarts Language teacher. Gee, it had been a while since she saw her. Rose didn't take languages.
Not saying she didn't want to. She would LOVE to but, she didn't have the attention span for it. She was so stuck on English. Plus she was afraid of pronouncing a word wrong in a foreign country and accidentally saying something offensive that would get in jail. All by accident. Rose had a large series of theories. Hey that ryhmed! She giggled at her word play. She let the two "hug it out" as Rose called it and smiled sitting back quietly. When Rose was mentioned by the Headmistress she felt her face turn bright red. Especially the Hogwarts Nurse part. She aspired to be that good. She turned toward Callysto. "Haiiiiii Professor Volkova! Good to see you miss!"She smiled politely. She spoke in a girly tone and waved and smiled quite largely.
Wehn Lillian said to contuin, she nodded. "Kay." She said. She attempted it once again. She focused and deep breath and waved her wand over the cardboard tube. "Ah-na-puh-neh-oh." She said slowly enunciating a lot like the Headmistress informed her. She wanted to jump around and sing. She did it!! She did it! She did the spell. "Ma'am!!!! I did it! Like, I really did it! Yay!!" She said clapping her hands together as she looked at them a sweet look in her eyes of victory.

As soon as Lillian was in Callysto's arms she felt sane again. Too long. Too long had she been away from this woman. Lillian. The love of her life. The most beautiful creature in this planet. She'd give anything to make her happy. Before Lillian pulled away to return to her lesson Callysto whispered "Missed you so much Love, so much."
The half-elf nodded to the student as Lillian explained what she was teaching her, and what the student's ambitions were. Callysto retreated slightly but did not leave the room, she couldn't leave, couldn't keep her eyes off Lillian's beautiful form. Her silver eyes watched Lillian's blue ones light up in that way they do when she's teaching; her perfect pink lips forming words of gold that both Callysto and the student soaked up. She couldn't wait to feel those lips on hers again.

"Great job, Rose!" Lillian exclaimed.
"Alright, now we just have one more thing to go over and that's the broken bones, how to fix that. Now, without your want, repeat after me. Bracchium Emendo. This spell helps heal broken bones if you do it properly, if not you might remove the bones, shatter them, so you need to be extra careful to keep your wand steady, only point it at the injury, and speak clearly."
She snapped a pencil clean in half and put it on the desk in front of Rose. She smiled and nodded, indicating her to repair it. Every so often she couldn't help but glance Callysto's way.

 I can tell by the way you xxxxxxxxxxxxtalk the talkxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx that something ain't going your way
'Cause your jeans too tight and your hair ain't right,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxwell we all have some of those days
xxxxxxxxxxxxxJust take another d e e p b r e a t h,

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx you know that I can relatexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx♡xxx♡
Put your hands in the air now, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxlet me hear you shout out, don't be goin' M I A ████ ██████ █ ████ ██ ███ ███ ██ ██████ ι αм кιєяяα, нєαя мє яσαя! → → (ιи fяєи¢н!) ████ ██████ █ ████ ██ ███ ███ ██ ██████ " Kierra had been quite embarrassed lately, and she knew very well that she wasn't going to solve her issue without speaking to the headmistress first. She had an irrational fear, and she knew very well that it was quite irrational, but she also knew that she wasn't going to get over it any time soon. So, she made her way to the headmistresses office. As she entered, she noted that the headmistress was there, and that she was working away on something, but Kierra didn't put too much thought into that anyway. She looked down and cleared her throat, hoping to get her attention without scaring her. Then, she looked back up to the headmistress, contemplation and worry written all over her face. "excusez-moi, Mademoiselle, mais... I mean... I had a question for you." Her english was getting quite better, but she had been to the school for a few weeks, so it was no wonder that she was picking up on the language so quickly. She knew that she had a long way to go before she mastered the English language in its entirety. When she continued speaking, she felt the redness in her cheeks brighten quite a bit. "I am sorry for eenterrupting you, but I wanted to ask eef I could... what ees zhe word... stop takeeng flyeeng?" When she got nervous, she seemed to have a heavier french accent, which would have made it hard for anyone to understand her. But, she figured the headmistress got the gist of the question either way. Kierra was now only afraid of the response she would get.
It wasn't like Kierra to skip a class, and it wasn't like her not to at least try, but it was about heights. She could not stand the idea of falling and hurting herself. She wasn't even sure if there was a real reason she hated heights. And, flying was much different than being high off the ground while on your feet anyway. She could trust her feet to do what she wanted them to do. She did, after all, dance in France as her physical requirements. Her mother taught her magic and as a muggle child so the government wouldn't question why she wasn't at school to begin with. So, she could at least handle dancing, and staying on her feet. She wasn't sure why she didn't like heights, and she had probably suppressed a memory from an early age. She knew one time that her brother dropped her from high off a broom, and she didn't speak to him for weeks, but she only broke her arm which was fixed within a matter of days due to the hospital. "So.. ees that okay? I mean... I weel keep up weeth zhe rest of my studies..." She was trying to make it seem like it was perfectly okay for her to drop the flying class, but she knew it was probably going to take a little more than that. Maybe she would have to take private lessons, which she would prefer, or maybe she would have to just keep taking the class because it would help her out. She was not comfortable being on a broom though, and it would take more than just a year of flying to get her to be comfortable. "

Rose and Lillian kept at it for another hour or so, Lillian glancing at Callysto every so often. Lillian kept nodding and beaming as Rose improved, but when the Ravenclaw walked in, Lillian shook her head.
"Kierra, you've only had one class in flying. And I know you'll be fine..." She trailed off for a moment and shook her head again, looking curiously.
"Alright, I know this is going to sound odd, sorrry. You remind me exactly of a girl Tierra I've seen around. Such similar names and looks, too...Anyways, I'm sure you can push through this. Austin told me about his class, I know he's difficult on his students, but he'll always allow you the option of doing essays. Perhaps study some flying books, read up on it, and if you get a good grade on those, you'll be just fine for his class. Here."
She took a double of a flying book she had, Quidditch through the Ages. She had the origional, but this copy wasn't too bad. She handed it to Tierra. Or rather, Kierra. So similar!
"I'm sure this'll help you in his class. You can keep it, okay? Now then, Rose, I think we've finished our lesson for today, you've done a great job and be sure to keep practicing."

'Cause what's inside will bring the boys... The pretty brunette nodded. She cracked her knuckles and listened to the headmistress her ears open wide, listening to her clearly and thoughtfully. It didn't sound hard, but it was pretty nerve racking. Her hands were quite sweaty and she had hit her thigh with her arm to get her to stop shaking. She took a deep breath in and nodded. "Of course I wi-." When suddenly Tierra walked in. She was Tierra wasn't she? She looked a bit closer only to find...she wasn't. This girl had a more terrified look about her. She remembered the girl who carried her to the Hospital Wing was much.....tougher? Sort of tough but like pretty. Very pretty. but who was she to ask...She smiled attentively. Ohhhhh so that's who she was. She was that girl from flying class. her and Caiden were talking about that a while back. She smiled and nodded. A girlish giggle poped out of her mouth. "Hi again!" She waved cutely towards the girl with the phobia of flying. She clapped her hands together. "Okie dokie! Thanks ma'am. If you don't mind I am going to take this pencil here." She said. "Byeeeee!" She waved as she rushed out the door. I don't wanna look like you because
You're too perfect, too perfect

The phobia wasn't even with just flying, either. It was with everything. She almost had a panic attack in the common room noticing how high up she was. It was just a strange thing like that which debilitated from doing things the way she should be able to. She had a hard time playing the piano for the longest time because she didn't like her feet not being able to touch the ground. Of course, now she can play the piano because she has grown quite a bit. Either way, she would have learned the piano sooner if it weren't for her phobia. Kierra was sad to watch the girl leave, since she wouldn't be able to help her out in the situation now, and Kierra would be all on her own.
The professor told her no that she could not drop the class, and she began to feel the nervousness of being on a broom hit her again. She didn't think she would be able to take the stress from being on a broom, and she could see that even thinking about it made her nauseous. She took a deep breath and looked at the professor, a bit stumped for words. Well, English words that was. She was so nervous that she just started to spill out French words, and she couldn't make herself stop. "Mais le professeur! Vous ne comprenez pas! Je ne peux pas faire bouger le balai avant d'avoir une attaque de panique .. J'ai presque tombé malade étant un pied seulement du sol. Pas même un pied..." She took a deep breath, then realized she had just said all of that in french. She wasn't sure what she was going to do now. She would have to reiterate what she had just said. She took the book from the headmistress, and she wanted to continue what she was saying. "I... I am scared of heights, ma'am... I don't know eef I can stay on a broom." She felt embarrassed about the whole situation, but she would rather take the walk of shame away from the class rather than having to continue taking it.
It was only then that she remembered that the headmistress speaking about a student that looked like her. At first she thought of it as just a coincidence, that maybe there was just a look alike in the school. But then, she thought about it again. Maybe, just maybe, this was what she had been looking for. Was it possible that her twin was in the building right now? Her eyes lit up, and she turned to leave to go figure it out. But then it crossed her mind that she shouldn't leave the headmistress without asking to be dismissed, and she turned to face her, smiling a little bit. "I weel try zhe class, but I can not promeese zhat I weell do well wezh eet. May I go, Headmeestress?" she asked, smiling and holding her hands delicately on her new Quidditch through the Ages book."

Headmistress Lillian Van Nikolai
Lillian smiled at Kierra. Or Tierra. Really, she was going to get them confused now.
"Yes, you may go, and I assure you, Austin won't just let you fail."
She waved goodbye as both girls left the office and turned to Callysto. She leaned up against her and gave her a short kiss on the lips and held her hand.
"I've missed you so much, how were your travels? Tell me everything, I just want to stay in your warm embrace for a while." She said softly, giving Callysto's hand a squeeze.
A lot had happened, she wasn't sure where she'd begin when she updated Callysto. Really, she wasn't too concerned about that, though. She just wanted to always feel these warm arms around her.

Ordinary Samantha Guilding, second year Griffindor was assigned to a task by owl. She was just like every other student, and stood out no different rather then some others.
As she was in the Main Hall she received a note mixed in with her parents weekly letters to personally go up to the Owlery..from there she would see a letter attached to a light brown owl, with spots of Red dotting its chest, take it off and bring it directly to the Headmistress.
So..that is what she did, she was in the headmistresses office, and saw that she was..having a personal moment. Her cheeks flamed red, and she swore she spoke..introduced herself..but all she really said was.."Here you go" and placed the letter right on the ground, and practically tripped over her own feet fleeing the scene...this was the last time Samantha the ordinary would be needed again, or so she thought.
(Exit)
~From the location of Level 2; Ministry of Magic~
Yoong Mistress witch, hoo ur ye?
Thes is Arther Langtry, gettin back tae yoo after weeks of yer first letter, an I apologize to ya lass.
Its bin forever sense Ah lest saw ye...Ah believe it was the Battle Of Hogwarts. Sad times ya?
Well anyhow..dis ol' coot would like tah accept ye invitation for the professor position..Tak' a break from dis Auror business..let mah wife takeova ya know?
See ye in ah few weeks time lassy.
~Arthur Langtry, Auror/Professor of Divination~
The note that was Addressed for the HeadMistress, From Aurthur Langtry himself...he was as he said, an old coot' In his late sixty's to early seventies. He remembered Nikolai from the battle of Hogwarts, when he and his wife came to the schools aid and his two oldest kids who are now graduates and pursuing there own careers resided before.
He is from Scotland, and even from his writing anyone could tell he was heavily accented. It is even stronger in person. He hoped she would remember him, it has been awhile.

Headmistress Lillian Van Nikolai
Lillian flushed a bit when the girl left and looked at the letter. Ah, yes. Her friend from Scotland was coming to teach. Yes...she remembered him well. The Battle at Hogwarts...it had been bloody indeed. She hadn't been there at first, they had both entered the fray to see young Harry supposedly dead in Hagrid's arms, then at Voldemort's feet. She'd known Lily Evans, James Potter, those people from school. She'd been younger than they were, but only by a few years. She'd only wished she had been closer with them, they were great people. Memories came flooding back and she smiled sadly. It would be nice to see an old friend again.
