Boom, baby!
With one kick, or rather the very subtle snap of his fingers, the doors to Hogwarts castle swung open and slammed into the walls on either side. The grin that seemed to be permanently stuck on his face screamed that there were at least several members of the school's staff about to be pestered with the new arrival. Or dare I say? Old arrival?
Hufflepuff's prodigal son had returned after a small hiatus. No one really knew what he had been up to, there was even the slight chance he didn't either. Then again, since his partner also worked in this place, there was bound to be some sense beaten back into him.
"Evening, kids! Who's ready to dance?" He asked a nearby student, who rightfully looked terrified of the bundle of sunshine that had just literally waltzed inside the castle. "I'm here to get you snoozers dancing during History of Magic. Don't worry, I'll get you up to speed on all the great ones. Warbeck, Lorcan d'Eath even DJ Martha!"
Now he had a few kids running, but it only had him grin a little wider. His eyes hopefully darted around to find at least one of his old students that seemed to be sympathetic to his return. "Ah well, can't win them all, can we?" Place seemed dark as ever. He felt sad he missed Christmastime, things always looked a little more cheerful. Though, he just considered his job to cheer things up again. It was amazing how much damage Marcus' grumpy demeanour had done in his brief absence. Now that he was assigned to Ravenclaw instead of his old house, Caradoc couldn't help but smirk at the thought of making his friend's life miserable.

Bubba sat in the Great Hall and finished his dinner. It was a nice affair involving roast chicken, asparagus, and mashed potatoes. It was nice fare for a Sunday dinner but sadly, he was dreading next week when he'd have a new professor for his favorite class, History of Magic. Professor Masoud was his favorite professor and Bubba had learned a lot from him, he was absolutely heartbroken when he heard he was leaving. He wondered who would replace him and if they'd be anywhere near as good of a professor. Bubba sighed discontentedly and looked over at the bulletin board. A new piece of paper had been added while he was eating. He walked over and examined it closely, "Staff Announcements". He looked past the third-year classes and found the announcement he cared about, "History of Magic - Professor Caradoc Browne - Ravenclaw".
Caradoc Browne... a Ravenclaw... but he had been head of Hufflepuff when Bubba first arrived. Bubba shrugged his shoulders and headed out into the Small Hall. As he arrived in the hall he heard the door crash open and a jovial voice announce its presence. Sure enough, it was Caradoc Browne, making an exuberant entrance. As he walked in Bubba figured, what the hell, might as well go size the fresh meat up. "By Grabthar's Hammer... Caradoc Browne... as I live and breathe... can't tell you how happy I am to finally have you in a proper House."

As the year 2022 fading away and the year 2023 inching forward, Rita noticed many changes done to the professors of Hogwarts. While the Professor of Care of Magical Creatures and the Professor of Runes being changed to someone Rita had never met before, the Professor of History of Magic was someone she was just too familiar with. It was no one else but their dearest papa badger, the one and only, Mr. Caradoc Browne! Even though Rita had only met their former Hand of House once, when the Second Year Hufflepuff with short black hair asked him for her lovely cat Peanut, but she knew their papa badger is probably one of the nicest people alive in this world. "Well, I have to admit History of Magic is one of my least favorite subjects cos it is just extremely dull, but with papa badger teaching it, I would probably change my mind. By the way, it seems that papa badger is holding a dance party in the small hall after dinner! Let me quickly finish my dinner and then join the dance party as soon as possible!" The Second Year Hufflepuff thought, before quickly finishing her dinner in the great hall and ran to the small hall to join the party.
When Rita arrived at the small hall, she found out besides papa badger Caradoc, there was already one person there, a Ravenclaw which Rita remembered wearing a prefect badge and calling the first-year eagles an adorable nickname "my baby birbs" in the library incident last October. "Good evening, Mr. "papa badger" Browne! Congrats for being the new History of Magic professor!" The Second Year Hufflepuff waved to the two with a friendly smile, "I suppose you are the Ravenclaw prefect who called the first-year eagles "my baby birbs" in the library incident last year in October, if I remember correctly. Good evening to you too! My name is Rita by the way, if you don`t know! Anyway, I suppose we shall be dancing this evening, right?" The Second Year Hufflepuff then tried her best to follow the music and move her body to dance as she waited to papa badger and the Ravenclaw prefect to respond.

While Sabine Blumenthal did not expect to be greeted with bouquets of roses and popping chardonnay bottles, she certainly expected a warmer reception than this one. Of course, it wasn't much of a reception--more just awkwardly trying to wedge herself into the castle alongside the brawny man who had beat her to arrival. She had heard there were multiple staff positions open at Hogwarts, but maybe it was just wishful thinking to assume that all the hires would be competent.january 2023.
Beggars couldn't be choosers.
"Yeah, yes, excuse me," a heavy Brooklyn accent colored her speech, and Sabine again attempted to sidestep the man who had unceremoniously thrown open the doors and begun to yell at students about dancing. In the end, she simply ducked, holding a purple luggage case behind her and squinting at the man. "Would I be correct in assuming you're a new hire, too?"
Well, perhaps not a new hire. Another boy trailed up, greeting the man. Sabine glanced from the boy to the man, noting the blue on the boy's robes. Ravenclaw, she assumed. Her assignment. Hopefully she would find solace in the house. The school already seemed far different from the Ilvermorny she had called home all those years ago (though she had been out for some time). "So not new, exactly, then?"
She couldn't help but admire the impression it seemed this man had on the students, though. Whatever he had done before surely was influential, seeing as these students cared for him so much. Papa Badger, she thought she heard the new girl passing by say.
How sweet.
"Oh, right, hello," she added as an afterthought, ducking her head to the two students. The boy and Rita, if she remembered correctly.@Caradoc Browne, @Bubba McGarry, @Rita Su.
"I’m Bean."

"A proper house? HA!" Caradoc cackled, his voice echoing through the hallway. "You won't catch a Hufflepuff betraying his house!" The professor grinned towards the Ravenclaw Prefect. "Nevertheless, I'll be enjoying pestering your Head of House with my presence. He's had six months of peace, it's high time to catch up on lost time for pranks" He winked and patted the boy's shoulder. "Ravenclaw better be ready to bring the party!"
The other professor that had just arrived clearly was not used to his shenanigans or any for that matter. She felt a little... out of place. Caradoc arched an eyebrow and gave her a curious look. Not answering her question in an instant.
Rita joined the group, waving hello. "Ahaa! And there's a very familiar face already. Come to dance, Rita? I sure hope you haven't forgotten what fun looks like while I've been away?" Caradoc gladly waved back at his former student. "What a fun welcome already. Thanks to you two, two points to each of your houses! Not sure that works yet... Ah well." he shrugged it off and laughed at the matter.
Catching the eye of his new colleague, he finally decided to answer. "Newly hired, yes. Though I am an old face here. I was Head of Hufflepuff for three years until about six months ago. Now I've come to take on a subject of an old friend." Caradoc smiled and extended his hand. "Name's Caradoc Browne, though most call me Doc. And you are...?"

Bailey finished her book, and set it down.
Pulling on her shoes, her black boots, Bailey grabbed her bag and another book and headed down to dinner.
Bailey was about to sit down at the Ravenclaw table when she spotted Kim sitting alone at the Gryffindor table.
Bailey gathered up her bag and water bottle and book, and went to sit by Kim.
She sat down, pulling some food towards her.
She cracked open her book, as she loved reading and knew Kim might not want to talk.
Starting a conversation just in case he did, Bailey asked “How was your day?”
After finishing part of her food, Bailey heard the front doors slam open. Getting up, Bailey grabbed Kims hand to go investigate.
“Who do you think it is?” Bailey asked Kim, pulling him into the small hall.
It turned out to be the former Head of Hufflepuff, And now Professor of History of Magic, Caradoc Browne.
Bailey smiled upon seeing him. She had never really talked to him, but she was going to change that now.
Pulling Kim behind her, Bailey approached the Professor when he had a spare moment.
Letting go of Kim’s hand to stick her hand out to shake the professors if he chose to accept it, Bailey smiled and said “Hello! My name is Bailey- Bailey Glade. I’ve heard so many good things about you, and I am so excited to have you teaching my favorite class! Though Professor Iwasaki might be sad his time of peace is gone.. haha though i am happy to have another happy and cheerful person in the castle, besides my friend Alma Stoll who is a Ray of sunshine!”

As the Second Year Hufflepuff with short black hair was trying to follow the music and move her body to dance, she noticed a quite pretty young woman with brown skin and medium length curly black hair walking into the small hall to say hi. Rita had never seen that women before, so she was guessing it must be one of the new professors. "The women asked if Papa Badger Caradoc is also a new hire, so she must be one of the new professors who has just come to Hogwarts and does not know anyone here. Not sure if she is nice or strict, but anyway, let me just focus on the dance tonight." The black-haired Hufflepuff thought.
Papa Badger Caradoc then gave a warm welcome back to the three coming to the party, and even added two points to Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, showing his always nice personality, before asking the name of the new professor. Shortly after that, another familiar face caught Rita`s sight, it was Bailey, that third year Ravenclaw that could be seen everywhere in the school. "Bailey came here, then Kim will come very soon, since these two are always, always together." The Second Year Hufflepuff thought.
"Hi, Ms. ...? I suppose you are one of the new professors?" Rita waved to the two adults and Bai with a friendly smile, "Yeah, we miss you when you are away, Papa Badger! Glad you are back as the new History of Magic professor and wish you good luck on your new role! By the way, fancy seeing you, Bai! And I suppose Kim would come shortly, right?"

| ─── | It was Sunday, January 8th, 2023.
The start of a new year, although not a new school year. They'd been back since Friday, the 6th. Yesterday, they'd taken part in the Ice Errand or the Polar Plunge as some had been calling it. He'd started to see Bailey in a different light from that point on. Something had 'happened' during the errand that he hadn't expected to see. But then again he probably should have seen it coming, considering the nature of the errand was to plunge into the ice cold water of the lake. Despite how Kim acted, as if everything was fine, he really was anything but fine. Not that anyone knew this, or cared much at all about Kim's current condition. Regarding this, Kim had steadily been getting less and less sleep due to his returning insomnia. As a result, the poor teen had gotten more agitated as a side effect of this. This in turn made him throw himself even more into his studies, homework, dueling and clubs, until they encompassed his entire life. Anything to distract himself from his thoughts and from his painful and sometimes scary dreams about a certain redhead-turned-bluehead girl. Kim was starting to wear down, even if he wouldn't admit it to anyone else..... Kim sat by himself at the table. The Gryffindor table was loud and boisterous as it always was but Kim stayed out of their conversations. He sat at the end of the long bench, putting as much space between him and other people as possible. All he wanted was to be left alone. After Sophia... Sage hadn't been seen around much. She was probably busy with her studies, which was understandable. Hell, Kim had done the same. Precious was at the Ravenclaw table, Colin was at the Slytherin table and he didn't see Pax at the moment. But they probably had their own things to deal with too. It was difficult to admit but all the 'friends' he'd made during his first year at Hogwarts........ Well, they were almost all gone now. Sophia. Juniper. Draven. Noah. All the people he'd begun to form connections with, despite that little voice in the back of his mind that his parents had put there saying never to trust others, were now gone. Even though some still remained, it wasn't as if he'd seen them in what seemed like ages. The only two he saw on a regular basis were Bailey and Damion. And for some reason, lately it seemed as if there was something strained between the two of them. Kim didn't quite understand..... It was a strange feeling he got. But it wasn't all the time that it happened. Most of the time they were normal, really normal. It was only when Kim was there and the two met eachother that sparks would fly between them. Regina and Eun-ji didn't count as his first year friends because they shared a special place in his heart. Gia was his childhood friend and Eun-ji was the fiance of his best friend Charlie. He'd also been getting to know them both a lot better now that they'd reconnected at Hogwarts. Regardless of what happened at Hogwarts, Kim's life would always be intertwined with theirs. A yawn escaped his lips. He wanted to sleep but couldn't do so. Which was a shame..... Andre and Taizu were two people who Kim felt a need to look after, as if they were his younger brothers. Well, Andre really was family, his mother's older brother was married to Kim's mother's younger sister. That in turn made them family, even though they weren't related by blood to them. Taking a bite of his traditional shepherd's pie that he tended to eat most often for dinner, the doors were flung wide open by someone making a grand entrance. Kim looked over to see a familiar face standing there. Caradoc Browne. Not someone he'd seen all the time but one he'd seen in passing from time to time around the castle. He'd been the former Head of House for Hufflepuff. Kim, and probably most of the students going to Hogwarts, knew that he'd recently decided to become the new History of Magic teacher. Personally, he hadn't minded the former professor. Zahid al-Benghazi ibn Masoud had been an interesting professor and although his lectures had a tendency to make people fall asleep, Kim had liked them. Still, the blue haired teen was curious to know what the new professor would be like. Yet another yawn escaped him. Tiredness..... Caradoc was saying something about dancing and Kim raised a brow. Well, he was certainly energetic, much more than Zahid had been! If this had taken place last year, Kim would have definitely been more into this but as it was, he didn't feel like doing much of anything anymore. He just wanted to not give a damn about anything, no that was just an idle thought. Kim shook his head, trying to banish such thoughts from his mind, not knowing what he was trying to say. Lack of sleep really did a number on you. Again, Kim yawned... Wait, who was that? It was only after Caradoc moved forward a bit that Kim saw someone else directly behind him. A beautiful black woman came into sight and Kim let his blue eyes flicker over her. Wow. Could she be part-Veela or something? If she wasn't, she definitely was one of the most attractive women he'd ever seen before. He didn't recognize her, which meant she was most likely a new hire too. Probably for Care of Magical Creatures, something he was looking forward to taking as soon as it was available. As the two professors conversed with Rita and others, Kim looked on from his current vantage point. He was content to just watch. And eavesdrop, something that was a particular talent of his. It was only around now that Kim abruptly realized Bailey had been sitting beside him all this time. He blinked, somewhat startled by the fact that he hadn't even sensed her until now. Before he could move or say anything, Bailey suddenly grabbed his hand and asked who he thought it was over there. She dragged the bluehead over to the two professors and only dropped his hand when they reached them. A sigh escaped his lips. So much for watching from a distance.... It wasn't as if he could just leave. That would be rude and he didn't want to make a bad first impression on these two new professors. More like one new and one returning one. Kim waited for Rita and Bailey to make their introductions. He wasn't in any rush at all. When they were both done, he would inclined his head towards the two professors. "Yo. Call me Kim Aoki. It's good to meet you two." Kim told them, giving them his trademark greeting that he gave everyone. The words he said were simple, direct and to the point. "Can't wait to see you in class, it'll be an adventure for sure." He said and tried to offer a smile but wasn't quite sure whether he'd succeeded or not. Kim wasn't really good at smiling, at least not when he tried to smile. Glancing over at Rita, the blue haired teen nodded to her as well. But Kim didn't feel much like talking now. |

Sitting next to Kim, when bailey got up tondrag him to go meet the professors, he started. it’s like he didn’t realize I was here! Bailey thought, and then realized it was probably true.
Bailey had missed that there was another person, too focused on Professor Caradoc. The other person, a gorgeous woman, was presumably the new Professor of Care of Magical Creatures.
Bailey smiled up at her, and stuck her hand out to shake. Forever a ray of sunshine, and smiled and radiated happiness.
Bailey smiled at Rita. Rita mentioned Kim coming sometime, and Bailey smiled. She glanced over she shoulder, where Kim still was. “I dragged him over here with me- haha as I usually do. That’s probably why everyone is convinced we’re dating… the fact that we’re rarely seen apart.” Bailey laughed at this, truly finding it amusing. The fact that anyone, and so it seemed- everyone- thought that she and Kim were dating, was hilarious to her.
Kim introduced himself, and Bailey as glad he had spoken.
it’s good to know that he’s not totally a stone golem. He has seemed rather… withdrawn for a while, I wonder why. He won’t talk about it though! baileys thoughts were slightly happy, and a little frustrated about how she couldn’t figure out why Kim was … off.
Deciding to keep the conversation going, Bailey asked “How are you both? I am sure you’ve both had busy days, but I’m so glad you came to say hello, and I was able to come up and introduce myself!”
we are all born beautiful. it is a tragedy we are convinced that we are not”

Rebecca clattered up the steps from the dungeon into the small hall, his shirt was a bit askew in his hurry. In the chaos of the past few days, he'd forgotten breakfast and now he was starving. Maybe jam on toast wasn't much in the grand scheme of things, but it meant everything in this moment. He noticed a small gathering of students near the entrance to the castle and craned his head over the crowd for a better look.
Two adults stood in the hall, one a chiseled Greek God of a man with a smile brighter than the sun, and the other a more reserved looking woman who seemed notably less thrilled to be carrying a heavy-looking purple suitcase.
Rebecca stumbled over his feet and almost crashed face-first into the floor. He was so tall. And pretty. Was he American? He looked somehow like the quintessential American boy scout. Absurdly, Rebecca noted that even his teeth looked somehow perfect. Madness.
The woman behind him was probably the one of the new Professors moving in. Was he some sort of... beautiful footman in the lady's employ? He grinned brightly and put his fingers to his lips giving a loud wolf-whistle. "Looking good--"
Hold on a second, did Rita just call this man the new History of Magic Professor???
Rebecca backpedalled immediately, the tips of his ears flushing pink. "Looking like a Good Morning! Sir!" he quickly continued, trying not to stutter. "Erm. My name's Rebecca, Sir." He doesn't care what your name is! he screamed internally. "I just. Really love to whistle." Rebecca finished speaking quietly, the blush spreading a bit into his cheeks. Merlin, this man was so unecessarily tall.
Rebecca nodded nervously at the other new Professor. "Good morning Ma'am!" He felt very short and stupid and desperately needed to do something, anything. "I er- do you want me to carry your luggage to your office?" he offered.
What am I saying. Stop talking. Stop talking.
