Catherine watched as Dominique pulled out the hat rack from her small bag, looking between the hat rack, the girl and her bag. Such an event defied the laws of physics... Yes, this girl was a mutant. It was sad that they needed to have actual proof of mutation these days. But anyone could invade the mansion at any given moment. William Stryker was proof of that fear. Still, if Storm was expecting someone, she could verify it. Catherine's job was not to keep track of new arrivals. Still, she could kill two birds with one stone with this girl. And find out if she really was expected. With that, she smiled again at the girl and nodded. "No further proof is necessary: welcome home, Dominique. I am not the only one who could help you with your powers. All of the mutants here can. We are a community, and every single one of us had to train to deal with the gifts we have. At the same time, we try to educate ourselves to be well educated, functioning members of society. The Headmistress can explain more; in fact, I will show you to her now. She is probably expecting you. Come." She waved Dominique on over to follow her. "We'll see about arranging a room for you here while we're at her office, along with arranging your class schedule. Who knows? You may even end up in my class. What are your feelings about anatomy?" She asked as she began to walk down the hall and towards Storm's office.
She threaded though out the throngs of students around her (some of which even jumped out of her way, having been in her class previously), while occasionally looking back at Dominique. Before they arrived at the door, a lightbulb flashed in Catherine's mind. "Ah! That reminds me. I will need to perform a basic medical evaluation on you later today, or this week. Nothing too intrusive, just basic questions. Allergies, medical history, vitals, blood work and whatnot. We can schedule a time once your class schedule is made. Do you have any questions for me before we enter her office? Catherine now stopped and turned around once they were both outside Storm's office, and her arms would fold behind her back as she prepared for any possible questions from Dominique.
