<br/><br/><br/><br/>First stopping by her office, Kiah plucks Hex from the floor holds him up and nuzzles her nose to his before cradling Him in her arms and heading to the Ravenclaw tower.  In very hushed tones, she whispered the password and stepped in side to greet the new students as well as many she had the privilege of teaching the previous year.<br/><br/>She glances around and smiles to a few first years milling about; looking quite lost and shy of their new surroundings.  She smiles softly and glanced around the room once again taking notice of all within. Her eyes came to rest on Sam and Fiona as they talk amongst them selves… Though Fiona did seem somewhat distracted with her sketching, which cased Kiah to smile softly?  “Good evening Students… Welcome to what I hope will be a wonderful year…  I am Professor Sloan.” She looks to Hex, briefly thinking of how old that made her sound then glanced back up and smiled. “ I look forward to getting to know each of  You better, if You have any questions or concerns well You know where Professor Dumbledore office is.. “ A touch of humor touched her eyes and lips as she delicately laughed. “My office door is always open; if you need anything feel free to stop in.”<br/><br/>Again she looked down to Hex in her arms, knowing she was rambling on and the students could care less about  the mutterings of a teacher while they were trying to get settled into their new environment. “Alright” she whispers softly, as the Cat’s tail continually flicked on her back.
