With such a large group, Erika had ended up having to call back a couple of the ones that had strayed. She couldn’t blame them, however, since there was so much to see, especially as they entered through the Labyrinth Gardens. The Gardens was one of her favorite places in the school, because it was so beautiful and usually quite peaceful with only the occasional stray creature to cause otherwise. Thankfully, they didn’t encounter such problems, but then they were still close to the entrance of the Gardens. Within a few minutes, they had reached their destination of a hedge near a suit of armor. Being that the trip was so short, she hoped that none of them would get lost coming or going. However, it was still best to say something. “If you ever find yourself unable to find your way in or out of the dorm, feel free to ask one of the older Pecari students, which by the way no one outside of your House should ever be told where the entrance is. Another big no-no is telling anyone other than another Pecari the password, which for this week is Hip-Hopping Kneezles. To enter, simply tell the password to the suit here.”Once the password was uttered, the suit of armor jumped out of the way to reveal the entrance. “Hurry inside,” she said, waving them in. After the last student was in, the entrance sealed itself. “Welcome to Pecari Common room,” Erika announced, moving to the center of a comfortable looking room done in brown and gold. There was various seating around the room along with a few tables here and there allowing the students to use the space to relax, play games, and even occasionally study. “This will be your home for the next seven years and with a little luck, the people will become like a second family.” She wished that was always the case, but as always, life could take some unexpected turns. After all, she had never dreamed that she would be teaching at a school and having children when all she had ever thought about was becoming an Auror. Though, she wished she could have continued in the field, she no longer regretted what had happened since this way she was able to spend more time with her babies than stuck somewhere on a mission.
Continuing on, she gestured towards another area of the room. “Over here is the bulletin board, which you should check weekly, if not daily. Here, you will find the new password posted on Saturday of each week. The password will be in effect Sunday through Saturday. You will also come to find a various assortment of announcements here. For anyone interested in Quidditch, Captain Amira Thornton should be putting up the try-out sheet soon. If you have any questions regarding the sport, please feel free to ask her or her Assistant Captain, Jade Owen. Other people to note are the Pecari Prefects, Josephine Owen, Melanie Goodwin, and Waverly Canterbury, as they are here to help you along with the Head Boy, Derwent Pierce, and Head Girl, Regina Parker.” There were certainly a lot of names to remember and she hoped she hadn’t overwhelmed them by all of them. Smiling at the students, she said, “And of course, I am also here if you need anything. “My office is over there and it connects to my office in the Defense Against the Dark Arts room, so I can be here in a snap.”
“Up the stairs are the boys’ and girls’ dormitories. If you try to go down the wrong hallways, you will be deposited back here, so it’s not even worth trying. Curfew is at ten. If you fail to be in, the punishment will be severe. Follow the rules,” she mentally added, as closely as you can, “listen to your professors, and you’ll do just fine. Any questions? If not, I’ll let everyone get situated, as I’m sure it’s been quite a long day.”
