New professor orientation was an experience unlike any other and the white haired man walked through the castle grounds of Hogwarts almost mesmerized. “Whoa…” He said as he dropped his bag that was on his shoulder to the ground in shock, his ember eyes gazing upwards towards the towers of the school. Durmstrang Institute wasn’t anywhere near this big Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the new Potions professor was learning this after hand.

Taking a long drag off of his cigarette, he blew out the smoke and let a long sigh left him. Whoa, this is crazy. The white haired man reached into his pocket and pulled out a small vile. Popping off the top, he put the butt of the cigarette into the vile and put it back into his pocket. “Yelp, better find my way around.” Picking up his bag and using the same map that the new students received, the man ventured into the castle to a world unknown.

It didn’t take him long to find the dungeon (you head downwards, it’s not hard) and his classroom. Walking inside he let out a relaxed sigh as he looked around. Supplies and potion mixtures lined the wall and the room was well kept. Good, he wouldn’t have to do any changing; instead he could just add his own flair to things. “Thank god, the person before me actually knew potions!”  Nothing excited the man more than being able to mix potions and it should come as no surprise that the first thing he did was test each cauldron within the room to make sure they were balanced properly and do not leak. 

After spending a good three hours playing - er testing, the devices that were going to be used during class the young man explored the room more, finding a door to the back which lead into his living quarters. “Talk about never getting away…” He muttered under his breathe with a small shrug. All of his belongings were already brought to the room and he gave his chest a gentle kick. The latch unlocked and the items flew out of the chest and into their respective areas.

His ember eyes scanned the room before landing on a piece of paper on his nightstand, wondering over he picked up the paper to find it reading –

Whelp, time to go! Turning to his closet he changed into his professor robes and began to follow the map to head to the staff lounge. This is Gabrial Warren and, unknown to him, he was about to become the new head of Slytherin House.
