Livietta didn't travel often, the only types of traveling she would do was from home to Ilvermorny and any of the traveling that working as an Auror. So when she arrived to Scotland she was amazed with the mountain range and just how much greenery she was surrounded by. She instantly fell in love with the country and that was all because of Madam Rosmerta who owns the The Three Broomsticks where the witch would stay until it was time to move in.

As her heals clicked on the stone bridge Livietta tried to allow the wind blowing through her dark brown curls calm her nerves. While the school had yet to start Livietta had asked to arrive early just to get accustomed to the school grounds and prepare for her new job.

The schools headmaster is the first person she met and Livietta immediately knew that she had made the right life choice. Albus Dumbledore had white nicely combed long hair and beard, fantastic robes with a matching short fabric hat.

"Albus" Livietta starts out as they walk through the halls having finished the tour, "my uncle never told me how or what the position is"

"Yes Danny always forgets to share the smallest details" Dumbledore states but doesn't give Livietta her answers

Livietta raises her eyebrows before asking, "So uh how does this teaching position work?"

"The students arrive on September first, we have an annual feast starting after the first years are sorted into their house. I welcome everyone and of course, shall introduce you as the new Muggle Studies Professor-"

"Don't mean to interrupt but uh will i need to be sorted into a house here as well and will i be able shape the class into any way I want?"

"Oh yes, if you wish to be sorted here you can be once we reach my office. As for your classes you must teach students the material for their NEWTS and OWLS.." The headmaster goes on to explain what the tests were and what year the students what need to be preparing for tests as they walked down the empty school grounds on their way to the headmasters office

The sorting hat was an old brown leather looking witches hat that had lost its pointy figure. Dumbledore had informed Livietta that when she was ready she can place the hat on her head.

Livietta couldn't help but look down at the sorting hat and rub the brown leather before letting out a breath and placing the hat on her head. Then it came to life and spoke, "Hmm, I see you're trained in Occlumency"

"Don't like people reading my mind" Livietta lets out as she squirms fighting the hats Legilimency

"Miss Livietta you must allow for the hat to read your mind," Dumbledore tells the woman who was fighting the hat. Livietta takes a shaky breath before letting down her guard and allowing the sorting hat to use its Legilimency to read her

"Hm an American pure-blood... my first"

"Lucky me," Livietta mumbles with an eye roll

"You care about people, but you have killed or wished to..." The sorting hat speaks making Livietta grind her teeth wanting to go back to blocking it out of her mind "hm plenty of courage, talent oh yes and not a bad mind. You have a thirst to prove yourself, hm... I know just where to put you... Slytherin!!"

"That was very anticlimactic," Livietta says while taking off the hat which makes Dumbledore chuckle. The brunette turns the man so she can hand him the hat back, "Thank you"

The first time Livietta saw the Great Hall, it was empty and void of life. Now the four long tables were filled with students in uniforms and black robes with an outlining of their house color. The high-top ceiling had hundreds of floating candles and while Livietta loved Ilvermorny, she couldn't deny the beauty and magic the Hogwarts walls carried.

Livietta couldn't help the smile that appeared on her face every time a house cheered for the first years getting sorted and joining them. While she found it odd that a hat sorted the students rather than them stepping onto a Gordian Knot and the mascot houses choosing the students.

One thing she knew that her school won when it came to sorting houses is how the houses choose their students, even to this day her heart still fluttered with pride when remembering the Thunderbird's wooden statue carving beat its wings.

With all the students seated and sorted Albus Dumbledore did as he had told Livietta. He walked up to a golden podium and started his welcome speech, "Welcome! Welcome to another year at Hogwarts. Now, I'd like to say a few words before we all become too befuddled by our excellent feast. Our Muggle Studies teacher Professor Quirrell has decided to take a sabbatical... fortunately, I'm delighted to announce that his place will be taken by Miss Livietta Washington"

The headmaster turns his body to where Livietta sat in-between two other professors and stands up so everyone can know she was the new professor. As she stood Livietta couldn't help but feel undressed, she wore olive green high-waisted pants and a burgundy button-up cardigan tucked into her pants. She wore a bit of makeup and some long gold earrings that showed by her naturally brown hair being braided in one side.

Feeling like she had been standing for enough time Livietta sat back down while Dumbledore continued speaking, "Per her request, she would like to be called Miss Washington, not professor. To welcome her, hope that we can all respect her wishes...."

After that Livietta zoned out the rest of the headmaster's speech believing she wasn't missing out on much and she was right.

A/N: very short chapters I know...
