Now that summer was over, Florence was very glad to be back on Sonora grounds. Over the past few years Sonora had somehow come to feel like home. She had never really enjoyed the desert scene, being a Chicago-native, but there was now a little part of her that she left behind every summer when she went to visit her loved ones back in Illinois. Now that she was here in Arizona looking out at all of the old and new faces, it was almost like she'd never left.
Any avid theatre-goer in America would know her Italian features, her dark hair, and her voice, particularly those of the wizarding world. Her acting days had ended after her husband's death, however, and her passion was now a hobby. Charms and teaching had become her new passion and every year Florence was a little gentler towards the younger students, a little more loving as she prepared her lessons, and a lot more comfortable standing in front of children and teaching subjects she enjoyed. She was much more comfortable in the role of Quidditch coach. Sometimes she even forgot that she was only a stand-in until Sonora was able to find a permanent coach.
Once the feast was over, Florence stood tall near the doors and called the new Pecaris. Her robes for today were a deep purple with white stars scattered across it and other designs to accompany the shapes. On her head she wore a black pointed hat much like the stereotypical pictures of witches in muggle books. She took pride in her wardrobe, something the first-years would soon come to know after several classes with her.
For now, she was relatively unknown as she called one last time for any straggling Pecaris. Once all the eleven-year-olds had gathered, Florence smiled and clasped her hands together. "I think that's everyone. Welcome, Pecaris. I am Professor Olivers, your Head of House, Charms professor, and the current Quidditch coach. You'll get to know me well over the next several years. Let's get you to your new home. Follow me." She turned on her heel then and glided out into the hallway.
