There was potential in this space. Augustus felt like he could use it to it's maximum purpose. The be-suited man, still dressed in a traveling coat and scarf, stared at a dusty and musty room. Round in shape. Cobwebs filtered the light into the room, an aged wooden floor ringing a center of stone. This room probably hadn't seen a Human or House Elf's touch in decades. between two columns and a half wall poised in an arch before the main windows, there was a massive cobweb. Yes, thought Augustus while he squinted up at the vague dome of the ceiling, This has potential. A suitcase sat next to him on the stone floor of the entrance as he surveyed a small alcove in the far wall and tried to decide where everything would need to go.
Deliberately he had asked the Headmaster for the use of such a space rather than the traditional classroom that Bathsheda Babbling had conducted her classroom in. But it had not been his single caveat. It been a simple one: He would hold the post for this one year, until a more suitable replacement could be found and assigned. Augustus' reasons were simple: with his life in such transition, he was not sure what or who he would be in a year's time.
He considered for a moment, breath holding, that he might meet some misplaced resentment and residual emotion from students and staff. He was not Bathsheda and he "retirement" had come to such an abrupt shock. But Bathheda had been his instructor as well. He had taken her lessons to heart and grown from them. But his methods also took him away from her more traditional style of instruction. So this would be a year of experimentation- of self and for others. A new job. A new professor. New directions for all. Augustus remained optimistic, even though he blustered out a breath of thought and realized this was going to be a lot of work.
Augustus turned around and picked up his suitcase when he heard voices coming up the spiral staircase of the tower. He wedged his suitcase under his arm, pulled off the townie hat he wore and fixed his glasses on his nose. He had no idea who they might be. House elves as likely as Human.
