Chapter 2
✧ ~ Chapter 2 ~ ✧
Morning came, and way too soon in your opinion.
You’d forgotten all about Dumbledores letter, until you got up for breakfast at least. You looked over it once more with a sigh. What else was there really for you to do?
You read over the contact, and the pay, neither of which were bad.
Pulling out a pen, as you’d become used to using this muggle contraption, you wrote back to Dumbledore using your neatest handwriting. You were both adults now, yes, but that didn’t change the fact that still saw him as a higher up, which would continue given the fact that he’d now be your boss.
After sending off your letter you began to get ready for the day, as well as think back on your years at Hogwarts.
It had been over a decade since your last year there, and the fond memories that came with all your time spent in the worn down castle. You missed the smell of your houses common area, and the smell of the old books that existed within the library.
You laughed to yourself remembering the pranks that you and your friends would pull, and the twinkle in Dumbledores eyes as he would reprimand all of you after a particularly fun prank.
You chose to dress in a comfortable outfit, and walked to the bakery just a few blocks away from your flat.
You decided to buy yourself quite a few sweet treats, considering the fact that you had recently had both wonderful and terrible news come into your life. Quite the eventful Tuesday if you did say so yourself.
Walking out of the bakery, you ran into a regular customer of yours, Anette. She was an older woman, a widow who was looking for love again after having lost her husband years prior. “Y/n dearest, is that you?” She asked in shock. “Hello Anette, it is. How’ve you been doing?” “I’ve been great darling, excellent! The ‘love potion’ you gave me worked wonders, I have a date with Jerald this Friday night!” Jerald hadn’t been given a love potion at all, for you weren’t stupid enough to give a muggle a potion.
You had simply made those who came near Anette a bit more courageous for 24 hours. Jerald did of course already like her, he just needed a little push.
“I’m glad to hear that Anette.” You replied with a smile. You had a bit more of a back and forth about how she was doing with Jerald before she bid you farewell. You smiled to yourself as you walked back to your flat. You didn’t regret having had your practice, if the people you talked to and helped were being made happy then you were happy, Anette was proof that you had done some good in the world.
Entering your flat you realized that once again, you had locked out Odin. Grabbing some extra treats for him, you opened the window. He pushed in angrily once again, but calmed down once he realized that you had extra treats for him.
Taking the letter from his beak, you realized it was a reply from Dumbledore. This letter was much shorter however.
“Dear Mr. y/n l/n,
I’m very glad to hear that you’ll be joining our staff. Please arrive to Hogwarts in two weeks time, so you can refamiliarize yourself with the castle, and start to build some bonds with your former teachers, now colleagues.
Best wishes,
Albus Dumbledore”
Two weeks, huh?
Guess you better start packing up your flat. Because when looking back at everything you owned, you’d definitely need those two weeks to pack.
