She paused to take a sip of water, "Of the new changes around here, Potions and Transfiguration will be split up with each subject now having two teachers instead of just one. Teaching the first through fourth years in Potions will be Professor Abigail Sciuto. She comes to us from the American state of Louisiana, specifically New Orleans. Fifth through seventh years will remain with Professor Snape. Next is Transfiguration. First through fourth years will be getting Professor Wendy Berger. Professor Berger is a former student of mine, and dare I say, almost as much fun as I am in class." A couple of snorts of disbelief were heard down amongst the tables. "Fifth through seventh years will remain with me though that’s subject to change depending on my workload as Headmistress."
