The stranger reached Dumbledore. He stretched out a hand that was as badly scarred as his face, and Dumbledore shook it, muttering words Alani couldn't hear. He seemed to be making some enquiry of the stranger, who shook his head unsmilingly and replied in an undertone. Dumbledore nodded, and gestured the man to the empty seat on his right-hand side. The stranger sat down, shook his mane of dark grey hair out of his face, pulled a plate of sausages towards him, raised it to what was left of his nose and sniffed it. He then took a small knife out of his pocket, speared a sausage on the end of it, and began to eat. His normal eye was fixed upon the sausages, but the blue eye was still darting restlessly around in its socket, taking in the Hall and the students. "May I introduce our new Defence Against the Dark Arts Teacher, Professor Moody." Dumbledore said brightly, into the silence. Alani had already met Moody before, in the Ministry of Magic, her body was similar to his, in regards to missing limbs and thousands of scars. Alani had prosthetic beige legs with golden joints and her left arm was also prosthetic.
