Word Prompt ~ Beginning

Albus watched the carriage approach the front entrance from his office window. He was delighted that Minerva McGonagall had accepted the position. He watched Ogg helped her down from the carriage and they walked into the entrance hall.

A few moments later his office door opened. "Ah Professor McGonagall, welcome to Hogwarts."

Minerva McGonagall smiled. "Thank you, Professor Dumbledore."

"I trust your journey was pleasant."

"Quite, I'm looking forward to new beginnings. I'm very excited to be here."

"We are excited to have you here. If you need anything don't hesitate to ask. Shall I show you to your room?"

Minerva smiled. "Please." She took Albus Dumbledore's offered arm and walked into the castle.
