Kiva walked through the halls of the school in a manner that showed she knew these halls like she knew the back of her hand. Occasionally, she would check to be sure none of the children were having a difficult time with things. Every-so-often if she took a passageway or back-tracked, she would pause briefly and make sure everyone was still with her.
Down the corridors and up the staircase. Down the hall and pausing before giant doors with signs about animals. They were standing in front of the library. "I'm about to show you exactly how to enter the Aladren Common room. You are not allowed to reveal this to anyone. Understand?" She asked, surveying the students around her. "Good. Now, my office is just that door there." She pointed to a door a little way down the hallway, "There is also an entrance to it in the common room. Quickly, follow me."
She led them into the library. She took the students through the maze of the library. Row after row of shelves covered in books, they walked between. There were many twists and turns throughout the isles of books that she was sure the students would become lost. Finally, they reached the last corner of the library. Her hands reached up and grasped an old tattered looking book called, Birds of Prey in reference to the Hawk. She pulled on it and the entrance to the Aladren commonroom was revealed. She gestured to the students to go through first and then followed them in after.
The commonroom was a brilliant royal blue filled with large sofas and comfortable chairs. Shelves of books littered the walls and tables surrounded the room. There was a large fireplace against one wall, already lit to make the room a comfortable warm. An occassional painting or portrait decorated the walls the inhabitants watching the young students with amusement or curiosity.
Kiva turned and faced the students, "Hello and welcome to Sonora Academy. This is the Aladren Common Room, your new home. As I have already stated to you, I am your Head of House, Professor Kiva Kijewski. You may call my Professor K or just Kiva if my last name is too hard for you. Boys dorms are on the left and girls are on the right. Curfew is at 10. Anyone caught out after that is susceptable to punishment. My office is through that door there. You'll have to knock first before entering." Kiva told them, giving them a smile.
"Classes start bright and early tomorrow morning, so try not to be late. Zack Dill and Chris Dupree are your Aladren Prefects. Their purpose is to help students around the school. You're all lucky to have the both of them. I know that Zack has set up a Prefect station in the Library where you can go for help. Where and whether Chris will have one, I do not know. But, I'm sure they'll let you all know." Kiva glanced at the two boys she was refering to and smiled before continuing on with her speech,
"You are more than welcome to come to me for anything. I'm sure you are all aware that there is a new policy stating that First Years are not allowed on the Quidditch team. Please keep that in mind, but don't let that pursuade you from cheering on your house team or signing up next year. If you have any questions about Quidditch, the Quidditch Captain is Anne Wright. I'm sure she'll be willing to answer you as best she can. Are there any questions?"
