Pecaris, this way! by Professor Aaron McKindy
Once the Feast seemed to be approaching its end, Aaron politely excused himself from his conversation with Rowan, adjusted his tophat made of large, pink, transparent bubbles, and made his way into the mass of excited students. It didn’t take Aaron very long to realise that he couldn’t actually shout loud enough to be heard over the students, so he uttered a quick Sonorus and began speaking. Since the volume seemed sufficiently loud enough for the first years to hear him, Aaron didn’t bother to adjust the charm.“Pecari first years! Pecari first years, over here!” the Charms professor announced. Or, well, he supposed that ‘announced’ was the right word. He wasn’t properly yelling, but could hardly be said to be speaking. Either way, the point was that a group of eleven-year-olds, some still bearing faint tinges of brown from their Sorting, began to gather around him. Aaron was amused; he’d never felt this much the mother duck before. Once it looked like all of the new Pecaris (and some older ones who had decided to tag along for the ride) had assembled around him, Aaron withdrew his wand once again and made a small modification to the charm he had placed on his voice. Now, although louder than normal, it was no longer the deafening level he had needed to reach all corners of the Cascade Hall.
“Welcome to Sonora!” the tall, grey-green eyed man said with an equally welcoming grin. “My name is Professor McKindy, and I’m your Head of House. If you have any questions or concerns, you can ask me—I’m not that scary, trust me, I teach Charms—or your Prefects, Irene Liddowe, Holly Greer, and Elly Eriksson,” Aaron gestured at each of the girls in turn. He remembered Elly and Irene clearly from his class years before, but couldn’t place Holly; the professor didn’t think he’d left before she’d come to Sonora, but time had started to blur together a bit. “Elly is also our Head Girl this year,” he added, with a congratulatory smile at the redhead.
“All right, let’s wait until we get out of here to go over questions,” Aaron said. It was still too loudly for him to be confident that he could hear any of the first years if they started talking. “So everybody follow me!”
