[B][U]Grace arrives at Hogwarts[/U][/B]

Grace finally discovered Abby's location just minutes before the train arrived at Hogsmead station. The enormous feline was sitting in a compartment with two delighted first year girls who were lavishing her with attention.

When Grace entered to retrieve her familiar Abby complained greatly but didn't struggle. She was taken back to the baggage car but not enclosed in her cage. Instead Grace asked her to wait for the train to stop and then meet her at the Hufflepuff dorms.

When the express finally stopped Grace was a bit worn but ready for more. She assisted Hagrid in rounding up the first years and saw them follow the gentle giant to the lake's edge. Once that task was done she climbed aboard the last carriage to the castle.

She used a house keeping spell she'd learned last year to tidy up her robes before entering the great hall. 

She found her way to the head of the table where she joined Hufflepuff's Boy's Prefect.

[B][U]The new Professor enters the hall[/U][/B]

Professor Mystérieux entered the Great Hall his robes made of dark fabrics and silk. His hair is black and quite long with a luster that caught the light of the floating candles above him. He has a rouge's face complete with a close trimmed mustache and van dike goatee, he appears more at home on the deck of a pirate ship that in a Hogswart teacher's robes.
He take a seat with the other instructors making a point of sitting next to Hagrid who chuckles at something that passes between them.
All through the Great Hall girls take notice of the handsome rouge some nearly swooning with delight as other begin speculating what position he might hold.
