Welcome to Gaia! ::

After a rather average summer holiday, Zachary was finally back at Hogwarts with his daughter, his office and his work. Now that Monika was a student here, he preferred spending his time at the castle rather than being home. Surprisingly enough, it was much quieter here than it was back home, less surprising when you realize he lived in the middle of London. At Hogwarts, he could spend a quiet evening in his office with a cup of tea and a newspaper, whereas at home, there were constant noises and distractions, like children playing in the corridors, honking car horns and other various sounds. But, he was here now, and that was the important thing. After saying his goodbyes to his daughter at the train station and letting her ride with her friends, Zachary apparated to Hogsmeade and made his way up to the castle. He got settled in and, by the time he was finished, found that it was time for the feast.

Armed with his trusty copy of the Daily Prophet, the man traveled down from his secluded office and into the Great Hall, which was lit up and properly prepped for the Sorting Ceremony. As the students began to pile in, followed by some of the professors, Zachary skittered along the edge of the Hall to the Staff Table. Not many people were there yet, but he recognized Landon with a newer face. A new professor, perhaps? Although, he seemed rather young. Taking a seat next to Landon, he looked up at the younger man. "Greetings, Professor Price, and hello, sir," he said, warily. It was just his luck that this other man would turn out to be just an older looking student. However, Landon seemed to be under the same impression that he was, so if they were wrong, they could be wrong together.
