Closed All Back Together Again

[Teodora Pourroulis]

Teodora could still hardly believe that it had actually been Octavia sitting at the Professor's table along with their other teachers. Their Octavia. Why was she here? Or more importantly, what was she doing here? Had their parents told her to keep an eye out on them, especially with Emori at the school now, too? She hadn't told them about it, which was something they would need to address at some other point, as she always told the twins what was new, that and the fact that Tee generally liked to know everything about everyone in the family, especially something as big as this. Making her way down to the first floor, she was dragging her sister along with her to which would now be their sister's office. While she would've liked to have been informed about all of this, she was very excited for Octavia to be at the school with them, it would make things a lot easier what with her being their guardian and such. ''Do you think Emori and Artemis saw her, too?'' Teodora asked Thalia curiously as they walked into the corridor. ''I bet Artemis did, should we have brought her along as well? I bet you she's just as curious as us about what Octavia's doing here!'' Once they had reached what would be her office, she banged her fist on the door. ''It's us,'' she called out, ''Are you in?''

 

[Thalia Pourroulis]

Thalia had been shocked, but it had been a pleasant surprise, not an unwelcome one. She liked the fact that all of the sisters were now reunited, and hoped that they could hang out sometimes, too, that Octavia would make sure of that. Thalia sometimes felt like Artemis was in her own world half the time, but she knew that the Gryffindor would still do anything for her family. It was only a little unfair that Artemis wasn’t hanging out with them much anymore. So when the twins had seen Octavia at the professors table, Thalia had been over the moon. Her and Tee had decided after that they would knock on Tavi’s door the next day. She glanced sideways at her sister. "I think they did," she replied, "especially Artemis. Emori, I’m not too sure, she seemed to have a lot of friends to socialise with already," she added with a chuckle. "I don’t know...maybe we should just let her go to Octavia when she’s ready, if she wants. I’m not quite sure how she took it." Their sister could be short-tempered and impulsive, though it usually didn’t last very long. "But I’m sure she’ll come around if she didn’t take it well." Thalia fell silent after as Teodora knocked on their sister’s office door, and she waited for it to be opened. Hopefully she was here.​

 

[Octavia Pourroulis]

Octavia was slightly nervous about starting her teaching career for the first time ever, and it had been a brave yet exciting decision that she had made. The former Beater hoped that the students were going to like her, but most importantly, that they enjoyed her class. She had looked at her schedule ahead of time and had taken note of the numerous first years this year. She was unsure as to whether there were always this many students who would be starting their magical journeys, but she was looking forward to meeting them all nonetheless. The woman heard a knock, and then a very familiar voice, and she went to open it, a smile on her face when she saw the twins. "Surprise!" was the first thing she said to her sisters. "Come here and give your sister a hug," she said, opening her arms for them. ​

 

[Teodora Pourroulis]

Teodora nodded as she listened to her sister, only now realising that Artemis may not have been all too happy with their oldest sister being a professor at Hogwarts now. She couldn't exactly blame her, having your guardian around as a teacher would without a doubt mean that their little adventures would soon have to stop since Octavia would most likely report back to their parents. Still, the fact that all four of them would finally be together again, she couldn't be happier about it. Tee beamed up at the woman when the door opened, instantly knocking into her side when she opened her arms for them to hug her tightly. ''I cannot believe that you are here!'' she said, looking up at her sister with a big smile. ''Why didn't you tell us you applied to be a teacher? And why did it have to be such a boring subject? Can't you teach us something fun instead?'' she teased, really just happy that Octavia was here as well, as she was being missed greatly whilst away from home.

 

[Thalia Pourroulis]

When Octavia opened the door, Thalia couldn't help the smile that etched onto her face, she was really happy that she was here and now she could go to Tavi with anything, especially if she got confused about something. And it was even better that she could do so for History of Magic, if she needed to. She allowed Tee to hug her first, and bombard their sister with questions, to which she laughed. "Tee, come on, give Tavi some space," she shook her head fondly at her twin sister. "I'm sure she'll make it interesting, won't you, Tav?" she turned to her older sister. "I'll make sure Tee attends," she added, nudging Teodora with her elbow. She moved in to give Octavia a hug, and when she pulled back, she said, "I am really happy you're here, you have no idea how much."​

Octavia embraced both of her sisters tightly in turn, happy to see them. It was really sweet of the twins to come visit her at her office like this. The first week of classes had barely started, but it was a nice surprise. She simply laughed as Teodora bombarded her with questions, doing her best to answer them. "I didn't tell you about it because I didn't know if I would get hired, and it was a rather spontaneous decision," she told the girls. "Actually, it wasn't that spontaneous, I did speak to mom and dad about it first and they encouraged me to do it. And, I wanted it to be a surprise," she added with a smile. She rolled her eyes playfully at Tee's last comment. "I'll have you know, that the history of the wizarding world is really important to know," she said quite matter-of-factly. Then she winked. "I'll make it interesting for sure, well, I shall do my best." Octavia didn't mind if her sisters criticised her lessons or whatnot, but she didn't her want students to be bored. "I'm really happy to be here too, Thalia," she smiled warmly at her sister. "I hope none of you have gotten into trouble yet."​

 

[Teodora Pourroulis]

Teodora nodded when Octavia answered her questions, smiling up at her out of sheer excitement that all four sisters would be here. She didn't quite agree with her sister's answer that it was important to know the history of the wizarding world, thinking that talking about the here and now was much more important than talking about the distant past. ''She had better make it interesting or I'll be taking a nap,'' she said, sticking out her tongue to her twin before turning back to Octavia. She didn't think History of Magic wasn't that bad, it just wasn't the most exciting subject amongst all of the other subjects they would take this year. She squinted her eyes at what she said last and glanced over at Thalia for a second. ''I don't know, would you tell mom and dad if we did?'' she asked, curiously looking at her sister. She didn't think that Octavia would ever tell on them, not if she could deal with it herself. Though with her here and all, Tee wasn't so sure about that anymore. ''Unless detention with you is going to be less punishing, of course,'' she grinned, thinking out loud for a moment.
