First Night (Lyla)

[omghprp]

It had been such a long time since Hogwarts was her home. Eleven years. Goodness, that made her feel old. Tonight would be her first night sleeping in the castle. Her bedroom was rater plain, with a few waves of her wand, it looked like a smaller version of a royal bedchamber. The bed's dressings were rick purple, accented with gold, and a pale lavender canopy flowed above it. There was a wooden vanity in the corner, with a matching wardrobe. Carrietta smiled at the beautiful tapestries. "Home," whispered Carrietta. She missed her children already, but term would be over in a few months. She flicked her wand at her trunk and her clothes began hanging themselves in the wardrobe. There was a knock at the door and Carrietta opened it, only to see...

"Hello," Lyla said as the new History of Magic professor opened her door. Lyla had come over to introduce herself, but now that she was here, Carietta North looked quite familiar. Then the thought came across Lyla. Carietta had been a year older than herself at Hogwarts when they had attended the school themselves. Lyla remembered her being Head Girl when Lyla was in her sixth year. "I'm Lyla," she said. "I think we went to Hogwarts at around the same time."

"I'm Carrietta," she said warmly. "Care to come in?" Now she thought about it, Lyla looked familiar. She might have seen her in the halls during her Hogwarts days. Two purple armchairs appeared from nowhere in front of the fire. "I think so too, you do look very familiar." Carrietta added.

Lyla nodded and entered Carietta's room where she sat down on one of the purple armchairs that had just appeared. "Yeah, you were a Ravenclaw, right?" Lyla asked after she was seated. "And Head Girl if I remember correctly." Lyla grinned at this. It was quite an honor to be Head Girl.

"That's right," said Carrietta with a grin. It was one of the highest honours a Hogwarts student could get, being able to serve as Head Boy or Head Girl. It never failed to impress when she was going around looking for teaching positions. Though she did feel that she was going to settle down at Hogwarts for good. She had two young children now, she didn't want to constantly uproot their lives.
