Home, Sweet Home [HoH Speech cont'd] by Professor Aaron McKindy
“These are the Labyrinth Gardens,” Aaron announced, walking backwards as he lead the group of first years along the correct path through the Gardens. “ Don’t worry, they’re not nearly as confusing as they look.” The professor stopped in front of an ordinary-looking hedge wall by a suit of armour. “To enter the Pecari Commons, you need to tell the password to this suit of armour. Please don’t share this password with any of your friends outside of your House. Only Pecari students should have access to the Pecari Commons. And before you get any ideas, you will be in very deep trouble if you try to break into another House’s Commons.”“Ice mice,” Aaron told the suit of armour. The hedge obligingly moved aside, revealing the entrance to the Pecari Commons. The man stood aside as the students filed into the room. Comfortable chairs and couches were scattered about, with handy tables in areas where students might like to do their homework (or, as he had learned, more frequently not). He motioned for the students to take a seat in the general area. “This will be your home for the next seven years; you will eat together, room together, and attend classes together,” well technically, all the students in a year-group attended classes together, but this speech sounded so much better when it involved that sentence. “Over here,” Aaron motioned at the notice board “is the notice board. When the passwords change, they will be posted here. Sign-ups for Quidditch and flyers for other school events are usually posted here by involved students, as well as any other announcements.
“There,” Aaron continued, “are the staircases for the boys’ and girls’ dormitories. Boys are not allowed in the girls’ dorms, and vice versa, and don’t try—there’s a spell on both hallways that will drop you back down here if you do. You need to be back here by 10 each night to make curfew, and my office is just over there, so I’ll know if you come back later. Any questions?”
The Charms professor smiled at the gathered students invitingly, pink, bubble-made tophat perched cheerily atop his black hair and crimson robes settled in the air around him.
