[The camera glides towards the windows of the great hall, towards the candlelight silhouettes glimmering within, passing through the glass as the students continue to sing, being led by none other than Professor Flitwick. Everyone claps as soon as they finish, and the students scatter as Dumbledore is seen.]

Dumbledore: "Welcome! Welcome to another year at Hogwarts." [The clapping dies down] "Now, I'd like to say a few words... Before we all become too befuddled by our excellent feast. First, I'm pleased to welcome Professor R.J. Lupin who's kindly consented to fill the post of Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. Good Luck, professor." [He gestures towards the teacher as he stands up, everyone claps.]

[The scene cuts to Caitlin sitting next to Hermoine who leans slightly closer.]

Hermoine: "Of course. That's why he knew to give you the chocolate, Caitlin."

Draco: "Potter.-" [Harry and Ron look around confused] "Potter!" [He turns around to face Draco as Caitlin doesn't look.] "Is it true you fainted?" [The boy next to him pretended to faint.] "I mean, you actually fainted?"

Ron: "Shove off, Malfoy." [Ron makes Harry turn around]

Caitlin: "How'd he find out?"

Hermoine: "Just forget it."

Dumbledore: "-Our Care of Magical Creatures teacher has decided to retire in order to spend more time with his remaining limbs Fortunately, I'm delighted to announce that his place will be taken by none other than our own Rubeus Hagrid." [He gestures towards Hagrid before Professor Mcgonagle nudges him making him stand up, making the table move. Most cheers came from the Gryffindor table as Caitlin smiled wholeheartedly. Hagrid sat down] "Finally, on a more disquieting note, at the requestof the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts will, until further notice, play host to the dementors of Azkaban-" [The students start to whisper as Caitlin furrows her eyebrows.] "-until such a time as Sirius Black is captured." [She tilts her head.] "The dementors will be stationed at every entrance to the grounds. Now whilst I've been assured that their presence will not disrupt our day-to-day activities a word of caution. Dementors are vicious creatures. They'll not distinguish between the one they hunt and the one that gets in their way. Therefore, I must warn each and every one of you to give them no reason to harm you. It is not in the nature of a dementor to be forgiving.-" [Caitlin and Harry shared a look] "But you know, happiness can be found even in the darkest of times-" [He takes out the flame of a candle] "-if one only remembers to turn on the light.-" [He flicks his hand over the candle before the flame combusts again.]

[The scene cuts to the students all exiting the great hall, as more people surround Caitlin and her new looks. They walk towards the moving staircases, as Caitlin waves them goodbye. She joins with Harry as Seamus bolts up the stairs towards the Fat Lady in the portrait trying to hit the note to break the glass.]

Seamus: "Fortuna Major." [She points at him to stop and continues to sing. Seamus turns to Harry and the others.] "Here, listen. She just won't let me in." [Caitlin glances between the two.]
