we've got the vision, now let's have some fun
she'd passed that little room daily. heels clicking, and fire red curls bouncing as she strode down the halls, fighting the urge to poke that perky little red head in and speak to the spunky little ravenclaw. it amazed her daily, his position, not his attitude. but given that the way he acted, most certainly seemed a little off, for a headmaster it would be only be fair to say that she were referring to both. she was a lucky one. dear, amelia pond. the world was a large place, full of dozens of wizards, and just by chance she was picked by the bodacious brute, and for that she was grateful.
the school was large, and peeping took time, as did enrollment. it seemed as if things were leaping out of the deathly shadows, grasping at her mind and her body, demanding attention. amelia wouldn't trade anything in the world for her position though. she adored the children, and the amazing team off staff that she was given the chance to work with. the busy work days got quite hectic, leaving the muggle drained by the end of the day. and while all the others were off tending to their own midnight duties, she was left in the dusty old classroom, half awake, and half asleep atop of the hollow desk. tiny snores would escape the fiery gingers lips; shoulders rising and falling with ease as she snoozed leisurely (in a quiet painful position) a top of her desk. wand perched in her hand, papers askew, and a dimly lit lamp illuminating the gryffindor females classroom.

Scars remind us where we've been.
They don't have to dictate where we're going.

It truly had been a long day. With rushing back and forth getting students enrolled, and showing them around the building, as well as making sure they all knew what was what, drained everyone of their energy. Isaac, the most. As headmaster of Hogwarts; and the Hufflepuff household. He was expected to keep every single detail on file, ready to accesses with a wave of the wand. And despite his hardest efforts to keep things running smoothly for their first year; everything went downhill.
First with the loss of perdinant information for a potential student, then the incident with the house troll in the Gryffindor tower (he truly had hoped everyone had gotten out okay), next came the quidditch crisis in which the staff demanded that the season be held earlier than usual due to the cold fall. It was all just hectic, and left the young man in quiet a spur.
Stumbling down the hallways, papers, and files in hand; Isaac made his way towards his private office. He had suggested making the particularly roomy corridor at the very end of the hall his own private study, but quickly decided against that when the fiery and ambitious muggle born insisted on taking it. Amelia Pond, her name was. Quiet the persistent one, and it made Isaac question sometimes why the sorting hat had chosen to place her in Gryffindor. [He didn't argue though; as he did have somewhat of a soft spot for the fiery ginger.]
Amelia was a hard worker, and quiet dedicated to the things that she did. But, she also knew how to get her way, and be courageous in the most terrifying times. Making the female a perfect candidate for possible assistant headmaster. Isaac liked Amy. There was no doubt about that. He was always kind in leaving chocolate frogs, coffee, or even a perfectly polished wand or robe upon her classroom desks in the morning. A mere act of kindness, is what he had told himself. But, it was far more than that.
Rounding the sharp corridor, the sleek and ambitious headmaster bounded into the spacious room, bellowing out a loud "Ms. Pond!" escaping his lips, as he unawaredly disturbed the young ladies slumber.
