So Amber Torres had come to Hogwarts during her school years, and then eight years later, who would have thought that she would actually be teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts, her favourite subject she might add. When she was a student here Amber always dreamed of becoming a Desfence Against the Dark Arts teach and finally she had met that dream. It took alot of work to get there but she had managed it. As Amber exited her office she stood infront of the closed door with a smile on her face, thinking of where to go next. In the seven years of attending Hogwarts, she had basically been almost everywhere. She done alot of wondering around. The Astronemy Tower popped into her head. It was where she had her first kiss in her fourth year.
At a regular pace Amber made her way to the memorable Tower. As she passed certain paintings, she gave them a slight nod and maybe a wave. Most of the paintings gave a nod back, while one or two just looked at her like they had seen her before but could not remember where. The thought made Amber laugh slightly. She laughed to herself quietly and only for a brief second as she rounded the corner. There she was standing infront of the door that would lead up to the Astronomy Tower. Amber opened the door and closed it behind her. She still continued the regular pace, stopping for a second to look out of the small concrete window. From where she was all she could see was Hagrids hut and aload of trees. She continued her journey to the top of the Tower and when she got there she opened the door and closed it behind her.
She was immediatly greeted by a warm breeze with the warm sun beating down on her exposed arms. She was wearing casual muggle clothing. Blue jeans and a white vest top. Amber didn't think it was wrong for a witch to wear muggle clothing. She found most of it very trendy and comfortable. Amber walked over to the balconys edge and leaned on the concrete barrier. Amber looked down to the ground and could see the lake with the odd student having water fights. There were also some girls who seemed to be sunbathing, or trying to sunbathe as they looked like they were getting splashed by the boys who were mucking around. Amber grinned and then looked out to the horizon. The sun was no where near setting, it ahd only gone lunch time.

Domieth Had been in His office looking ver charters and writting letters on the schools hehalf. He had been there since 6:00 am and was in real need of some air. He stood up and back his armchair. He looked around the room at all the artifacts strewn around. "Back in a bit Fawks." he said to the phoenix on his perch behind his desk. The Phoenix had been in Hogwarts for centuries and served every meadmaster or mistress since Hogwarts opened.
Dom walked down the stairway and past the statue of the Hippogryff. His shoes clopped along the stone floors. He stopped as he reached the stairways. "Towers or grounds? Towers or grounds?" he kept repeating himself. Finally he decided to go to the Astronamy tower. It had the best view of the grounds anyway. Dom set off and walked past a portrait of Severus Snape. "Morning Severus." he said as he walked past.
After 5 minutes he reached the towers big oak doors. He opend the door and walked into the room. On his way to the balcony he saw Amber. "Morning Professor." he said and walked over to her. "Nice day isn't it."

So deep in thought Amber had not heard someone open the door and stand next to her on the balcony, it may have appeared that she was ignoring them, but she wasn't she was just thinking about her sisters. A voice though broke her out of her thoughts. With a slight shake of her head and a smile she looked to her right and saw Domieth Ingram. The Headmaster of Hgwarts.
"Morning Professor. Nice day isn't it."
With a smile and a slight laugh she replied. "Good morning yourself and please call me Amber. The term professor make me sound older than what I am." She said with a slight laugh again. For some reason she was extremely happy today and she couldn't place why. Maybe it was because she was glad to be back at Hogwarts. Afterall it was like a second home to her when she was away from home. "Yeah it's a brilliant day." Said Amber in reply to Domieth statement about it being a nice day. She had to agree it was an extremely nice day. The sun was shining, not a single grey cloud in the sky and there was a breeze to keep everyone cool so they were not to get too hot and bothered.
Amber turned round so her back was now to the horizon and she was looking sideways to Domieth. "So Dom how was your summer?" She asked squinting slightly from the sun. She brung her hand up to the side of her face to shield her eyes from the sun so she could see Domieth more clearly.

"Oh you know hectic as usual. I uppose I should be grategul. Afterall the school has re-opened. Thats all that matters. " Dom walked to the end of the balcony and rested his arms on the railing. "You all set for your students to start looking to you for knowledge." he said a little bit cheekily. "Great subject that. You should have fun. I know I did when I attended Hogwarts. Are you nervous at all." he asked now leaning on the railing nd lookin at Amber.
An owl flew out of no-where and almost flew right into Doms head. "Whoa" he shouted and ducked. The owl turned and perched on the railing. "What in the name of god was that." he said shocked looking at the bird. It turned around and it held a letter in its beak. "Great." he mumbled under his breath. "You know I wish I could hide from these birds every now and then." he said with a chuckle

Amber listened to Domieth speak, he seemed cheery and a litttle cheeky which Amber gave a soft laugh at. She had to agree with what Domieth was saying, it had been rather hectic what with having to prepare work for lessons and such. The school had only just re-opened so there was more work to do than what there usually would have been.
"Oh you know hectic as usual. I uppose I should be grategul. Afterall the school has re-opened. Thats all that matters. You all set for your students to start looking to you for knowledge. Great subject that. You should have fun. I know I did when I attended Hogwarts. Are you nervous at all."
The professor bit her bottom lip slightly as she pondered on the thought about being prepared, she kind of was but not completely. "Well to tell you the truth I'm kind of prepared, but not to worry. I will have all the work ready for when lessons." Said Amber with a slight laugh. "Nah I'm not nervous, not tosound big headed or anything but I done really well in Defense Against the Dark Arts, so it will be fun." Said Amber with a slight shrug. "What about you, are you all prepared?" Asked Amber

"Im sure you will do fine. I wouldn't of hired you if I didn't think you were the best." he said kindly. "Oh I hope your o.k with being head of Gryffindor house too. I think that in a few weeks when everyone is settled and used to school again, we should start the quidditch trials. I know its another buch of work but it willbe worth it when the games start."
"Mumble!" Dom said in a kind but louder voice, and beside the two teachers apperated a house elf. "You called master Ingram." she said squeekly. Dom smiled at the little slight figure in a little pink gown. "Yes mumble, could you please bring me and Amber some cool glasses of pumpkin juice. Thank you." the house elf bowed and dissapperated.

Amber smiled at the compliment Domieth had just given her, it also made her feel more confident about being able to succeed in her job. She gave a slight laugh as Domieth said he hoped she didn't mind being head of Gryffindor. "Nah course I don't mind. To tell you the truth when I attended Hogwarts I wanted to be in Gryffindor but I was placed in Hufflepuff." Said Amber with a slight shrug. When she heard Domieth shout mumble it kin of made her jump slightly. It was unexpected. Laughing slightly at what had happened, Amber turned to Domieth and took the drink from him once the house elf Mumble had returned with their pumpkin juices. "Thank you.....Heres to Hogwarts being re-opened, it's about time to." Said Amber raising her glass for a clinky.

"To Hogwarts." Dom replied, and put his goblet into the air and clinked his off Ambers. He took a sup of the cool pumpkin juice. "Ah thats good." he said and placed it on the stone balcony in front of him.
"Have you met many of the students yet. I hope they dont feel wierd being placed in first year even if they are over 11." he said and fiddled with his drink. "I wonder will they start up dumbledore's army again, even though its not needed the kids like to rebel. It was good fun that club." he said with a smile on his face as he remembered it.

Once Amber had taken a sip or two from her goblet she to placed hers on the stone balcony as she listened to Domieth speak. "Well I haven't met any students yet." Said Amber with a slight shrug. "I mean I have seen them wondering around, but I haven't actually spoken to one yet. Anyway if they do feel weird about being a first year I'm sure they'll soon get used to it. They all have to start somewhere." Said Amber as she picked up her goblet and took another sup of the cool refreshing Pumpkin Juice.
Again Amber set the goblet down once she had taken a few sips from the goblet. A smile broke across the brunettes face as she remembered back when dumbledores army was started up in the room of requirement. That certainly made a year of her life at Hogwarts interesting. "Yeah I remember, but that was only started up because a professor wasn't teaching us defensive spells, we just read from a book, no sorry copied from a book." Said Amber as she shook her head slightly remembering back in her fifth year. "Still it was really fun while it lasted." Said Amber with a slight laugh.

"Uh yea that Ubmridge woman really did make Defence Against The Dark Arts quite boreing. I still have the scars to prove it. I spoke against her and got detention." he said and raised his sleeve. There were the pink scars left behind by his time in detention. "I must not tell lies indeed." he said a bit in a huff.
"Well I doubt we will have that kind of trouble in your classes now will we." he said looking at her in the corner of his eye and smiling cheekily.
