Default Staff Table

Want to know more? Check out Hogwarts A History!

The Hogwarts staff are already seated when you enter the start of term feast. Their traditional place is at a long table on a raised dais at the back of the Great Hall. The usual Hogwarts crest hanging behind them has returned, fully restored and looking brand new. The staff are also happily using the school's real silver silverware and heavy plates and goblets. Looks like everything is as normal as Hogwarts can be. Welcome back!

Feel free to come up and say hello to the School staff after the Headmistress has given her start-of-term speech. Remember your manners, children. Your professors like to have a quiet dinner too.

Was he really the first one here? Huh. Hands in his pockets, Piers walked into the Great Hall and looked around. It was so quiet, he could hear his footsteps echo around the hall. That was nice. Slightly weird, too, but it wouldn't last long. He knew the students were already on their way and the sound of their angst laughing and bickering would soon fill the room. But for now, he was going to enjoy the silence while he could.

And maybe take a nap.

Piers sat down at his usual chair, leaned back, stretched his legs out and folded his hands over his middle. If anyone asked, he was just resting his eyes. Eyelids got heavy after a while, you know?

By the time Javy was seated, he had to take in quite another view of the Great Hall. It was still just as exquisite since he had last step foot in here as a student. Only difference of course, was the lack of the traditional school robes on him. Yes, he was able to actually have a choice in his attire for once. With the help of Lala, of course.

After a moment, he heard some light snoozing. His eyes darted to the direction of the noise.. on his left. Really now? Did Piersie really forget what happens when anyone sleeps before Javy in a room. The corners of his lips curved, before he took a sip of the water from his goblet. He could do with a bit of more sunshine in his life now. Which got Javy to carefully pluck one of the sunflowers in the nearby vase, before setting it in Piers' hair... There, now he could bring smiles to others at the sight of him. Snoozing with a sunflower that had just bloomed over his head.

Javy continued sipping his water goblet, glancing elsewhere to remain in the unknown. He could do with a bit of a conversation now. Yes, he could.

Start of term feast ...

Could they perhaps get on with it this time?

Seren brushed a bit of lint off the skirt of her long-sleeved red dress, before pouring herself a glass of water. She was homesick already. She needed her Derfy, perhaps more than he needed her - it was funny how that worked.

Tiara had made her entrance into the hall as she heard the rumble of carriages pulling into the drive in front of the castle. Just in time it seems, she had thought to herself. The official had taken her seat, adjusted her sequined robes, and looked around to see who else had arrived so far.

Now, Tiara gave a courteous nod to the new Care of Magical Creatures professor, but she didn't speak to him because his name escaped her. It was always better to not try if you weren't sure. Tiara Tyner was not one to take social embarrassment well.

Ah, but Pierson and Seren were here as well. Those names she was confident of. "Good evening Pierson," she said cordially. Turning, she also greeted the Herbology expert with a, "Good evening, Seren."

Was it warmer than average in here or was it just her? Anastasia adjusted the neck of her lasercut dress with a small clearing of her throat. It was certainly warm in here. It wasn't just her or the two handsome, suited men sitting right next to each other. By Jove they were distracting, though.

"Care for some water, Tiara?" she greeted the Flying professor as the other woman sat down. She poured herself a goblet and moved the ice water pitcher Tiara's way.

Ah, yes, this was a lovely time for a nap. He had been too busy today, preparing lessons, cleaning the classroom and his office and things of the like. He deserved a good nap. So, he started to doze off, slowly sliding down his chair as he did so. He was very vaguely aware that there were other footsteps around him, something touching his head (though he probably made it up), and voices... calling his name...

Oh.

Piers woke from his half-conscious nap with a snort and shake of his head. He sat up in his chair quickly, completely unaware of the sunflower on his head. "Yes, hello," he said with a nod to whoever of the few people -- when did they get here?! -- had just said his name. So much for a nap. Blinking his eyes a few times, Piers noticed the figure next to him. Apparently he had been tired because he hadn't even seen Javy arrive.

"What the hell is on your head, mate?" A top hat? Really? Piers laughed. Javy always had an interesting fashion sense. He approved most of the time, at least.

This was the correct room, yeah? Braith poked his head in the entrance before heading in. Good, he had managed to find it again without too much trouble, and he headed down towards the staff table before the children would start pouring in. It was definitely more professional that way, to be seated before they came in. Not that he was all that concerned with that particular thought. He was just ready to eat.

Thirteen. His was seat number lucky thirteen from the end and he mentally began counting once he reached the corner of the table. One, two, three.. He gave a friendly nod and a 'hey' to the pair of dudes already seated there as he walked past, trying not to give them too odd of a look. He supposed what they each wanted to wear on their heads was their business, he wasn't one to judge appearances.

Four, five, six.. And a couple lovely ladies as well, one of whom he knew to be the Headmistress. "Good evening," he greeted them both with a smile before moving a bit further down the table. Here was seat number thirteen. Braith dropped into the seat next to a rather beautiful woman. He racked his brain for a moment.. Herbology? Anyway. "Hello," he greeted his neighbor to the right, his prominent American accent apparent. "Braith McCormack, History of Magic." He gave her a friendly grin as he offered his outstretched hand, figuring he might as well get started with the introductions now.

She had been staring out at the House tables, watching as the hall slowly filled, when a voice roused her from her thoughts. "Ahh, good evening, Tiara," she returned the greeting, flashing a bright bright smile. She'd perhaps have to ask the Quidditch Official about her summer another time, she didn't particularly want to talk over the top of Annie.

SPOILER!!: Braith!

The unfamiliar face that wandered to her end of the table caught her attention. The new History of Magic Professor, no doubt. What was his name again? She'd caught it before, but it had slipped her mind, start of term was always such a whirlwind. Too much to do, not enough time in which to do it, the prep would be the death of her if nothing else.
"Hi," she smiled, accepting the mans hand, Braith, Braith McCormac, that's what it was, "Seren Bentley, Herbology," she added, shaking his hand gently. "Getting around the castle alright?"

Another year at Hogwarts meant another Start of Term Feast, which meant...lots of food. Callie hadn't eaten for almost twenty-four hours in preparation for the evening's delicacies. She had arrived at the Castle a few days before but had mostly been up in her tower getting the place ready with the help of a few House Elves and then looking at some stuff in the Library--she hadn't ventured much further just yet. But it was time for her to be in the Great Hall with the other staff and face the promise of meeting new colleagues. Hecate had left in a explosion of flames the term before and there was also the Care of Magical Creatures sub, Airey's cute friend, and the Groundskeeper--all shoes and seats to be filled.

Callie made her way into the Great Hall just behind the disappearing figure of the Flying Instructor and hurried in before the sounds of the student body making their way towards the door. She clicked her way to the table and took her seat. "Good evening Pierson." and the new guy sitting nearby also got a greeting. "Hello there, Calista Elwood, Divination." He looked like a circus ringmaster with that hat--Elwood thought it looked nice.

Tiara was getting water from the Headmistress and the Ravenclaw Head of House turned to get some too. "Oh Annie I'd love some too, if you don't mind--" She turned but stopped somewhat short. The Headmistress was wearing green too. Hmm. Whoops. At least their dresses were different material. "You and Tiara look lovely this evening." She mentioned as she raised her glass towards the redhead to fill.

Seren was in conversation with who Callie assumed was the new History of Magic professor. She waved at the Herbology Professor and at the man too, hopefully he saw her. She would have to introduce herself later.

Airey was having a lot of unusual emotionally based reactions to this feast and it had been VERY difficult stepping up to the dais with the large tank he had with him. The water had spilled over just a bit, soaking the front of his sweater and shirt. He was pretty sure water had also spilled on some of his colleagues - which is why he was trying his best not to make eye contact with most of them. Especially the females. They were always so touchy about fashion and clothing in general. Normally he was too, but this particular fish was the only fishy exception to this rule.

Pleased as Halley's Comet that the seat beside him was empty once again, he had set the fish tank down on it and leaned over to look at the bass swimming within. "Alright, Captain, I couldn't put you in your old seat because there is a new bloke sitting there...so this will have to do," he whispered to the fish. It wouldn't have killed the new History of Magic professor to move for the night, however. But Airey didn't know the man well enough to ask for that sort of favor and he wasn't about to go shouting at him to do so now. Too bad A and H were so far apart in the staff alphabet.

Sitting up just a bit, Airey tugged on the sleeves of his sweater and he turned his attention to the new Care of Magical Creatures professor. A man who he was going to need to call upon more than once this term - if the claw marks on his arms were any indication of that. He also had something for the man, a peace offering of sorts, but his short attention span was drawn elsewhere. "Airey Flamsteed," he said as he extended his hand to the man for a handshake. "That is a very smart looking hat. Do you mind if I try it on for just a moment? I've always fancied a hat like it for myself." He HAD had one......until about a week ago when Hershel had decided to have his way with it.

Cece couldn't believe the summer was over with already. It seemed as if it had only begun just yesterday, yet here she was, sitting at the staff table waiting for the start of term feast to begin. Looking to her left she smiled at her co-workers. "Good evening Seren. I trust you had a lovely summer." She then looked just beyond Seren to see the new History of Magic professor. "Hello Professor McCormack. How are you this evening?" As she spoke, it saddened her not to see Hecate sitting in her normal seat near the end of the table. In the six years she had been working at Hogwarts, Hecate had become one of her very best friends, and now she wasn't there. It wasn't like they weren't still friends though. They would still see each other, just not at work. Still didn't make her feel any better about her friend not being there though, even if it did mean Cece got a promotion to Slytherin Head of House.

Speaking of Slytherin.

Cece looked out towards the Slytherin table, you know, to make sure they were all behaving themselves. She did not want to start her first day as head of house by having to discipline her students. No, she wanted to start it off by going down to the table, welcoming them all back and letting them know she was their new head of house. Of course she would wait until a little later to do that. Maybe after Anastasia had given her speech.

Summer vacation had come and gone just as fast as one turned over the page in a book Leobald contemplated silently from his seat at the staff table. Turning to his neighbour on the right; the new History of Magic professor Leo offered him a bright smile. "Good evening Braith, was it right? I'm Leobald Kitridge, Librarian." It was hopefully the man's name. It would be a little embarrassing if he had mistaken the man from one of the other newcomers that had recently joined the staff. "If you ever need any books you should come by the library." Yes, because books were his area of work.

Past Braith he shot both Seren and Cece warm smiles. "Good evening, Seren and Cecelia. I trust your summer vacations were nice?" he enquired curiously. Leo's own had been quite enjoyable and definitely crowned by the arrival of his newest pet Wilhelmina who he had already grown fond of.

Letting his gaze drift out over the student tables he noted that so far it seemed that the student's were behaving and chatting with each other companionly. If it it wasn't the trick of light he also thought he saw the Grey Lady by his old house table.

Having arived at the Great Hall before any of the students, Cosgrach had taken his time examining the hall once again after 22 years. Very little had changed, but it was a dramatic change nevertheless: the people that made it alive were all different now with a few exceptions. He had changed too. It was difficult to believe, and he couldn't admit it to himself, but he looked forward to... meeting people and have 'professor' before 'Culloden'.

He'd taken his seat just before the students arrived, so he couldn't properly greet any of the already-sitting professors. He didn't forget to nod at each of them, though. They were going to work together, after all. He couldn't forget his manners.

Pouring a glass of water, he drank it slowly as he watched the students take their places.

Grasping the pitcher, she filled her goblet with the ice-cold liquid. The former Ravenclaw hadn't even noticed Callie sit down, so when a voice sounded from her right, she was extremely surprised. Tiara gave an involuntary jerk and water went slopping over the sides of the pitcher.

Oops.

Of course it had taken Sophia a little bit longer to get to the staff table than her other colleagues but that was because she had ridden the train to school this year due to...things. It was fine though, Bentley seemed to have enjoyed the journey over and she got to revel in nostalgic feels. She did make it in before the students though because she did not have to deal with the hustle and bustle of loading carriages and she certainly would not ride the boat with over enthusiastic first years.

Her heels clicked in rhythmically as she walked into the Great Hall but there was the pitter patter of little feet accompanying her acoustic entrance. Bentley was close behind his grandmum fully decked out in his miniature Slytherin uniform and clutching his sippy cup filled with mango juice, his favourite.

"Made it in time, good evening, good evening," she sounded as she made her way to her place at the end of the table, next to their handsome new Potions master. Hecate was okay but she would enjoy her seating arrangement even more now.

"Good Evening to you Mr. Culloden." Oh he got an extra special smile from her. So handsome.

Ben Ben had been looking around in awe as he tried to keep up with his grandmother. Everything was so big and the ceiling...woah! He pointed up with his free hand, then pointed to the table then pointed at everything and everyone. Amazing. He chimed in..a ''goon eveling goon eveling" just like his grandmother had done then climbed up to her lap. He could see everything from here!

Green. All Annie could see was GREEN. Green on Calista, green on Sophia... WHY ALL THE GREEN? She had clearly been dressed and down at the feast before anyone else! How DARE they ALSO wear GREEEEEEEEEN.

"Hmmph," was all the now-pouting redhead said in reply to Elwood. She moved her hand over to get the water pitcher...

Tiara gave an involuntary jerk and water went slopping over the sides of the pitcher.

Oops.
...but received a handwashing for her efforts to be polite and pass the jug.

"Great. Thank you, Tiara," she remarked snarkily. She let out another huff and used her wet hand and arm to move the water AROUND clumsy Tiara and over to Calista. Even though the flying professor probably could have done that herself.

Then she busied herself with drying off her hand. Was the giant groundskeeper here yet? She would wait for him before giving her traditional speech.

The sounds of pouring water in his left ear made Leo turn his attention to his neighbor on the right who was indeed pouring himself a glass of water. The new potions master who had taken over after Hecate. Flashing the man a smile he greeted him. "Good evening Professor Culloden. Are you finding your way around the castle, all right?" Leo enquired politely.

Grabbing the water pitch he poured himself a glass of water. Drinking a few gulps he watched as more student's entered the hall and found their seats.

SPOILER!!: Sophia and grandson

Leo had gulped down a few mouthfuls of water when Sophia entered the hall accompanied by a small boy. When his best friend had settled into her seat on the other side of Cosgrach and the boy had climbed up into her lap Leo shot her a warm smile. "Good evening Sophia, you look lovely as always." The boy earned a wink too before Leo focused on drinking some more water to hopefully quiet the hunger pangs coming from his stomach. Annice would soon enough give the speech so they could eat.

It was hopefully the man's name. It would be a little embarrassing if he had mistaken the man from one of the other newcomers that had recently joined the staff. "If you ever need any books you should come by the library." Yes, because books were his area of work.

Past Braith he shot both Seren and Cece warm smiles. "Good evening, Seren and Cecelia. I trust your summer vacations were nice?" he enquired curiously. Leo's own had been quite enjoyable and definitely crowned by the arrival of his newest pet Wilhelmina who he had already grown fond of.

Letting his gaze drift out over the student tables he noted that so far it seemed that the student's were behaving and chatting with each other companionly. If it it wasn't the trick of light he also thought he saw the Grey Lady by his old house table.

Thirteen. His was seat number lucky thirteen from the end and he mentally began counting once he reached the corner of the table. One, two, three.. He gave a friendly nod and a 'hey' to the pair of dudes already seated there as he walked past, trying not to give them too odd of a look. He supposed what they each wanted to wear on their heads was their business, he wasn't one to judge appearances.

Four, five, six.. And a couple lovely ladies as well, one of whom he knew to be the Headmistress. "Good evening," he greeted them both with a smile before moving a bit further down the table. Here was seat number thirteen. Braith dropped into the seat next to a rather beautiful woman. He racked his brain for a moment.. Herbology? Anyway. "Hello," he greeted his neighbor to the right, his prominent American accent apparent. "Braith McCormack, History of Magic." He gave her a friendly grin as he offered his outstretched hand, figuring he might as well get started with the introductions now.


If only Josephina had been still teaching Arithmancy, she would have been sitting over on the other side of the table, closer to the new and quite attractive Creatures Professor. Was it just her or did Annie seem to have a knack for finding quite the eye candy in men who knew how to tame their creatures? Playing with her ring, she sighed, reminding herself dimly that she was taken now. But that didn't mean she couldn't LOOK, right?

It wasn't until she heard talk around her that she realized she should probably quite her daydreaming. "Leo, welcome back," Fina smiled at the librarian and then leaned over and smiled at the new History Professor. Who was also attractive; a bit young, but nice to look at nonetheless. "Braith. Welcome again. But this time to your first feast as Professor."

It was difficult to believe, and he couldn't admit it to himself, but he looked forward to... meeting people and have 'professor' before 'Culloden'.

He'd taken his seat just before the students arrived, so he couldn't properly greet any of the already-sitting professors. He didn't forget to nod at each of them, though. They were going to work together, after all. He couldn't forget his manners.

And this was awkward. She only had sat next to Hecate for one term, but she and Hecate had started as colleagues during the same year and now the Potions Mistress had resigned. Perhaps seeing her grandkids at Hogwarts was just too much for her? As odd it seemed, she was certainly going to miss the glares she got from the woman. Cosgrach had some big fill shoes to fill.

"Amazing isn't it. How nothing seems to change but the people and the perspectives when you're sitting up here, versus down there, don't you think?" She mentioned nonchalantly in small talk to the new Potions Master. "You ready?" She glanced habitually down at the Hufflepuff table to see that they were all behaving ....

She did make it in before the students though because she did not have to deal with the hustle and bustle of loading carriages and she certainly would not ride the boat with over enthusiastic first years.

The last thing that Josephina had expected was Sophia to be LATE to the feast. Sure she knew the woman was bringing her grandson this term, which was bad enough in her mind, but for her to arrive when the students arrived? Fina sighed, shaking her head a moment as she strained to comprehend the toddler's babblings. She did not speak toddler. It was a good thing her niece and nephew were all over the age of five now.

"I think he just called Evelyn a 'goon'." Fina said aloud, wondering if there was another student called Evelyn this term who the kid met on the train.

With his hands folded in front of him on the table, Botros enjoyed the scene before him. Kids were laughing, chatting and... actually, the real scene was what the new Care of Magical Creatures' professor (won't be getting his name right so soon) did to the fast-asleep Charms one. Botros watched them for a moment, a small smile on his face. They seemed more familiar with each other than a new staffer would be with an old one. It amused the Ancient Runes professor, though! He liked the new professor's hat as well. Last feast was Callie's turban and now this. He sure got in with a never-a-boring-moment team in Hogwarts.

To make things even more pleasurable this term, Botros got to be on this team with a former student as well! He stretched himself forward and took another glance at the new History of Magic professor, Brian? Brandon? He was an America as far as Botros remembered. And his name started with a B and an R. Br.. . Hmmm... Braith! The old professor smiled to himself and leaned back on his seat.

Siiiiiip from his water goblet, and continued to watch. Talking with others would be lovely, but hearing what they'd say was... not achievable. So Botros kept quiet for now.

The hall was at last filling up with the students. Both new and old, Javy watched curiously at them all. When his attention on them, they were on the other staff, giving a curt nod to them each. He would eventually get all their names, but perhaps another time when they weren't seated so far apart.

*Snort*

No, that was not from him. Javy remained nonchalant as his good old friend was stirring beside him at last. "Welcome back.." He commented, turning to face Piers and not paying attention to the flower sitting on him. Nope. Well, what's on yours mate? Oh, was it tempting to reply that since he took his own fashion choices seriously. But instead he took the opportunity to let a few chuckles that he had been dying to let out earlier, before tipping his hat. "You know me too well, Piers.." It had been an unexpected yet pleasant surprise to find that he would be working alongside him here. "I take it you had a long night?" They had so much to catch up on now.

Just then another arrival, another beautiful one at that, as she sat nearby. "Well hello, Calista." Curtly nodding in her direction, since they were too far to extend each others hands to shake, "Javier Thompson, Care of Magical Creatures. You can call me Javy, though." So she taught Divination. Some of the subjects within it were universal, which he liked.

Next thing he heard however before he could continue was a light sloshing sound and light whispering. Very curious. Javy didn't know the man just yet, but already found a common interest, their inseparable bond to each other's pets as he saw the bass in a fish tank take the spot for.. Arithmancy? He fought the urge to snort at the idea of a bass fish teaching such a complicated subject. His further thoughts halted as he was greeted. "Hello, Airey. Javier Thompson, though Javy will suffice. That's an interesting choice for a pet, does it have a name?" Javy returned the extended hand out shake his. The corners of his mouth curved once again, "Why thank you." It felt nice to have their own style appreciated. He blinked though at the sudden request. "Hm.. if you'd like." Then taking the hat off to don it on Airey's own head. It was becoming a pattern now already. "I have a few others in different colours, in case you ever need one of your own."

Taking another sip of his water, he noticed the Ancient Runes Professor. He seemed to be preoccupied in his own thoughts, which Javy understood.

Cosgrach smiled kindly at her. "Good evening, Madam Bellaire." he said in his good manner. He had been distracted with viewing the students and he hadn't noticed it until it spoke in its odd voice and climbed up to Bellaire's lap.

...it... it was talking and... had hands and all! Cosgrach's mind froze and all he could do was staring at it--him--it for half a minute.

Did--did she realise she had a--a KID on her lap? That--that wasn't hers, was it?!

Yeeeeeaaaaaah hiiii Mr. Librarian, bye thing.

Errr, people were greeting it. Okay. Okay. He pushed it out of his mind and focused on Mr. Librarian--Kiltridge or something. Merlin, he was terrible with names. He hoped Mr. Leobald didn't mind.

Well, even if he did, it was too bad.

"Good evening back, sir," he said casually. He wasn't going to let him know he forgot his name. "Yes, seems my memory hasn't deteriorated yet." He smiled politely, but was also immensely grateful for that. 40 wasn't old, but 22 years were enough to forget a place that didn't hold... many happy memories.

Cosgrach... recognised this face. Not from the staff meeting, but from his school years. He smiled absent-mindedly for a moment before answering her.

"It'll take some time to fully adjust," he said as his eyes surveyed the hall, "but I am ready." He nodded once to emphasise his seriousness.

"Any advice would be welcome, though." He wasn't arrogant either. He was just confident.

Airey continued to try and make sideways glances towards the new History of Magic professor without causing too much stress for his friend swimming to his right. He would have to go and visit this new bloke, maybe bring Captain with him so that he could take a look at his old office. Might inspire him to turn back. Or....maybe that whole fairy tale logic was real? Airey was skeptical. VERY skeptical. But maybe if the right female professor were to big his big ol' fishy lips a smooch he would turn back....

Was it too soon to ask Calista?

It was becoming a pattern now already. "I have a few others in different colours, in case you ever need one of your own."
Thankfully his insane thoughts were wipe temporarily from his mind when the new Creatures professor continued with their conversation. "Javy," he nodded while giving him a firm but friendly handshake. The astronomer's eyes widened slightly at the term pet. CAPTAIN was not a pet. "Oh no, no pet," he said while shaking his head. "This is my best mate, Tiberius. But I always call him Captain because he is the Kirk to my Spock you see." Or hopefully he saw. Otherwise the man was in for a not-so-brief lecture on Star Trek - probably a similar one to the one Medea had heard.

And now he was looking slightly like a kid in Honeydukes with galleons to spend. "Stellar," he whispered in awe as it was placed on his head. "Although I am a bit dressed down for it at the moment." Going for a more casual suit look this evening as opposed to the full blazer like he usually wore. "Sweet solstice, do you really?" he asked, his interest clearly peaked by this. Just like him and his suit and ties. "I may ask to borrow one for quidditch matches to match my suits."

And yes, he had entirely forgotten about handing over the fancy smanchy lint roller he had wrapped with a bow in his pants charmed pocket to the Creatures professor.

Airey paused for a moment to look out at the tables and watch the sorting briefly. Always such an exciting time of term and one that he personally looked forward to - especially seeing who would be joining his old house of the brave and noble red and gold. And it seemed as though there were quite a few youngsters being sorted into Gryffindor this term, including the young man he had taught a certain foxy dance to over the summer. He would have to have a word with that boy about continuing a certain 'legacy' in the boy's dorms.

Grinning from ear to ear with his borrowed top hat, he caught Old Man River looking....a bit more pensive than usual? He looked back at the fish tank and began searching his pocket for the container of fish food that, once removed from his pocket, he began to tear at the plastic covering with his teeth.

"Hi," she smiled, accepting the mans hand, Braith, Braith McCormac, that's what it was, "Seren Bentley, Herbology," she added, shaking his hand gently. "Getting around the castle alright?"
Braith's smile grew just slightly as the lovely lady to his right accepted his hand to shake. Ah, yes, he had been correct in his thinking. She was the Herbology professor. "It's a pleasure to meet you Seren," he said before withdrawing his hand. He noted how much softer hers were than he would have expected from a Herbologist. It was obvious she put her dragonhide gloves to good use. Thinking over her question for a moment, he answered with a chuckle. "For the most part. The staircases.. move." How odd that seemed. None of the schools he either attended or worked in seemed to have any moving staircases that he could remember. Inefficient and unusual, but mildly entertaining. Maybe he'd have to find a free afternoon just to see where the staircases would lead him. "I guess it's good that I'm on the first floor," he added with a grin. Less chance of getting lost with fewer stairs to take. That might be okay when he wasn't otherwise engaged but it would not do when he had classes to teach and could not afford to be late.

But it was time for her to be in the Great Hall with the other staff and face the promise of meeting new colleagues. Hecate had left in a explosion of flames the term before and there was also the Care of Magical Creatures sub, Airey's cute friend, and the Groundskeeper--all shoes and seats to be filled.

Callie made her way into the Great Hall just behind the disappearing figure of the Flying Instructor and hurried in before the sounds of the student body making their way towards the door. She clicked her way to the table and took her seat. "Good evening Pierson." and the new guy sitting nearby also got a greeting. "Hello there, Calista Elwood, Divination." He looked like a circus ringmaster with that hat--Elwood thought it looked nice.

Tiara was getting water from the Headmistress and the Ravenclaw Head of House turned to get some too. "Oh Annie I'd love some too, if you don't mind--" She turned but stopped somewhat short. The Headmistress was wearing green too. Hmm. Whoops. At least their dresses were different material. "You and Tiara look lovely this evening." She mentioned as she raised her glass towards the redhead to fill.

Seren was in conversation with who Callie assumed was the new History of Magic professor. She waved at the Herbology Professor and at the man too, hopefully he saw her. She would have to introduce herself later.

He was pretty sure water had also spilled on some of his colleagues - which is why he was trying his best not to make eye contact with most of them. Especially the females. They were always so touchy about fashion and clothing in general. Normally he was too, but this particular fish was the only fishy exception to this rule.

Pleased as Halley's Comet that the seat beside him was empty once again, he had set the fish tank down on it and leaned over to look at the bass swimming within. "Alright, Captain, I couldn't put you in your old seat because there is a new bloke sitting there...so this will have to do," he whispered to the fish. It wouldn't have killed the new History of Magic professor to move for the night, however. But Airey didn't know the man well enough to ask for that sort of favor and he wasn't about to go shouting at him to do so now. Too bad A and H were so far apart in the staff alphabet.

Sitting up just a bit, Airey tugged on the sleeves of his sweater and he turned his attention to the new Care of Magical Creatures professor. A man who he was going to need to call upon more than once this term - if the claw marks on his arms were any indication of that. He also had something for the man, a peace offering of sorts, but his short attention span was drawn elsewhere. "Airey Flamsteed," he said as he extended his hand to the man for a handshake. "That is a very smart looking hat. Do you mind if I try it on for just a moment? I've always fancied a hat like it for myself." He HAD had one......until about a week ago when Hershel had decided to have his way with it.

Siiiiiip from his water goblet, and continued to watch. Talking with others would be lovely, but hearing what they'd say was... not achievable. So Botros kept quiet for now.
Braith supposed it had been a while since he had eaten, all day even, being so busy with his class preparations today. And he he grew even more aware of this fact due to the low rumble from his belly reminding him how close it was to dinnertime. So, eating soon? Braith glanced down the right of the table, knowing that the Headmistress needed to make her speech first. Maybe after whatever water mishap was going on over there got taken care of. Besides, it looked like one or two seats were still vacant. Obviously it would wait till everyone was present.

His eyes drifted down that side of the table, stopping as a movement caught his attention. A little wave in his direction from yet another beautiful woman. Braith lifted a few fingers in a casual wave and gave her a crooked grin in greeting. She looked awfully familiar, he had a feeling he knew her from somewhere because how could he forget a face like that? But it bothered him somewhat that he could not yet place her. And it was too bad that they were not seated in closer proximity since it was probably against social convention to shout at her from across the table. He would make a point to speak to her later.

And then his eyes moved further down the table, hoping to memorize faces that he'd have to put names to later. So much work being new. Oh hey, there was old Botros all the way down at the other end of the table. Braith knew his former professor would be here as a colleague but he must have missed him coming in. The Runes guy also got a casual wave and smile in greeting from his seat at the other end of the table. Then Braith couldn't help but to notice the guy seated closest to Botros. He watched him curiously for a moment as he seemed to be making eyes back at him. Was that a fish? Many, many thoughts of possible explanation ran through his mind in explanation for the fish and tank to get a chair all their own. But he chose not to dwell on it, selecting one of those explanations to satisfy his brain, and gave the man an acknowledging nod. Maybe he'd ask later.

SPOILER!!: Cece

"Hello Professor McCormack. How are you this evening?" As she spoke, it saddened her not to see Hecate sitting in her normal seat near the end of the table. In the six years she had been working at Hogwarts, Hecate had become one of her very best friends, and now she wasn't there. It wasn't like they weren't still friends though. They would still see each other, just not at work. Still didn't make her feel any better about her friend not being there though, even if it did mean Cece got a promotion to Slytherin Head of House.

Speaking of Slytherin.

Cece looked out towards the Slytherin table, you know, to make sure they were all behaving themselves. She did not want to start her first day as head of house by having to discipline her students. No, she wanted to start it off by going down to the table, welcoming them all back and letting them know she was their new head of house. Of course she would wait until a little later to do that. Maybe after Anastasia had given her speech.
And yet another beautiful woman? Braith was beginning to wonder if attractiveness was a prerequisite for employment. What a lucky guy he was to be working surrounding with such beauty. He smiled widely as she greeted him, adding, "Good evening, I'm doing quite well. I hope you can say the same?" He then hesitated for a moment, offering an apologetic smile. "Please, forgive me. So many new people for me to remember." Yes, he knew that she was the resident healer, but he was embarrassed to say that her name slipped his memory. Until he heard it, on his left. Oh yes, Cecelia.. Committing that to memory.

SPOILER!!: Kitridge

It was hopefully the man's name. It would be a little embarrassing if he had mistaken the man from one of the other newcomers that had recently joined the staff. "If you ever need any books you should come by the library." Yes, because books were his area of work.

Past Braith he shot both Seren and Cece warm smiles. "Good evening, Seren and Cecelia. I trust your summer vacations were nice?" he enquired curiously. Leo's own had been quite enjoyable and definitely crowned by the arrival of his newest pet Wilhelmina who he had already grown fond of.

Letting his gaze drift out over the student tables he noted that so far it seemed that the student's were behaving and chatting with each other companionly. If it it wasn't the trick of light he also thought he saw the Grey Lady by his old house table.
Turning to his left at the sound of the voice, Braith offered the man a friendly smile in return, then also his hand to shake. "It is, Braith, yes," he gave a slight nod. "Good to meet you Leobald." Yes, the library might be a place he'd frequent often. "That sounds logical," he added with a chuckle. Books in a library, mhm. "Thanks, I'll keep that in mind."

SPOILER!!: Josephina, with mentions of Cosgrach and Sophia + child

It was difficult to believe, and he couldn't admit it to himself, but he looked forward to... meeting people and have 'professor' before 'Culloden'.

He'd taken his seat just before the students arrived, so he couldn't properly greet any of the already-sitting professors. He didn't forget to nod at each of them, though. They were going to work together, after all. He couldn't forget his manners.

Pouring a glass of water, he drank it slowly as he watched the students take their places.

She did make it in before the students though because she did not have to deal with the hustle and bustle of loading carriages and she certainly would not ride the boat with over enthusiastic first years.

Her heels clicked in rhythmically as she walked into the Great Hall but there was the pitter patter of little feet accompanying her acoustic entrance. Bentley was close behind his grandmum fully decked out in his miniature Slytherin uniform and clutching his sippy cup filled with mango juice, his favourite.

"Made it in time, good evening, good evening," she sounded as she made her way to her place at the end of the table, next to their handsome new Potions master. Hecate was okay but she would enjoy her seating arrangement even more now.

"Good Evening to you Mr. Culloden." Oh he got an extra special smile from her. So handsome.

Ben Ben had been looking around in awe as he tried to keep up with his grandmother. Everything was so big and the ceiling...woah! He pointed up with his free hand, then pointed to the table then pointed at everything and everyone. Amazing. He chimed in..a ''goon eveling goon eveling" just like his grandmother had done then climbed up to her lap. He could see everything from here!

Was it just her or did Annie seem to have a knack for finding quite the eye candy in men who knew how to tame their creatures? Playing with her ring, she sighed, reminding herself dimly that she was taken now. But that didn't mean she couldn't LOOK, right?

It wasn't until she heard talk around her that she realized she should probably quite her daydreaming. "Leo, welcome back," Fina smiled at the librarian and then leaned over and smiled at the new History Professor. Who was also attractive; a bit young, but nice to look at nonetheless. "Braith. Welcome again. But this time to your first feast as Professor."


And this was awkward. She only had sat next to Hecate for one term, but she and Hecate had started as colleagues during the same year and now the Potions Mistress had resigned. Perhaps seeing her grandkids at Hogwarts was just too much for her? As odd it seemed, she was certainly going to miss the glares she got from the woman. Cosgrach had some big fill shoes to fill.

"Amazing isn't it. How nothing seems to change but the people and the perspectives when you're sitting up here, versus down there, don't you think?" She mentioned nonchalantly in small talk to the new Potions Master. "You ready?" She glanced habitually down at the Hufflepuff table to see that they were all behaving ....



The last thing that Josephina had expected was Sophia to be LATE to the feast. Sure she knew the woman was bringing her grandson this term, which was bad enough in her mind, but for her to arrive when the students arrived? Fina sighed, shaking her head a moment as she strained to comprehend the toddler's babblings. She did not speak toddler. It was a good thing her niece and nephew were all over the age of five now.

"I think he just called Evelyn a 'goon'." Fina said aloud, wondering if there was another student called Evelyn this term who the kid met on the train.
And the lovely Muggle Studies professor was just next to the librarian. Braith offered her a warm smile at her welcome. Not only was she a looker as well, but friendly too, and of course he had a soft spot for Muggle Studies. "Thank you, I do appreciate that." First feast as professor to children. The beginning of term at University always went off a bit differently, he supposed. That was something he was used to, but he didn't mind something new. This would be an interesting experience. He peered out at the hall as some of the children began filling up the room. His eyes drifted back to the Muggle Studies professor as she began talking to the Potions professor. Now probably wouldn't be a good time to admit that he remembered neither of their names. He'd pick them up soon enough anyway.

Braith glanced over at the Potions professor, whom he heard was new this term also and gave him a greeting nod in return. And then his eyes followed the woman toting a young child behind her. Oh. Did they start this young here? Braith watched the little boy curiously as he joined them at the table. Not that he didn't like children, they were cool in their own little way, but the young ones especially made him slightly.. nervous. He glanced back up at the Muggle Studies professor as she spoke aloud and he leaned in close to her, speaking quietly, "Who's Evelyn?" One of the staff? He still couldn't remember all their names.

Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.

Orsino didn't quite know what emotion to express. It was his 1st Day on the job, so one would expect him to be jumping about like a hyper girl on caffeine. Instead he moved up to the Dias with a straight face. He wiped sweat from his brow as he had to help row a boat to the school with a small newcomer latched onto him, and a Hufflepuff boy who took more time flapping his gums then rowing like Orsino punished him to. Speaking of which, the Groundskeeper peered behind himself and eyed the boy. "You'll go to your Head ASAP Kiddo. I'd like to speak to them about your misadventure. We'll figure out what to do with you then."

Without a second glance behind him Orsino moved around to his spot between the Headmistress, and Healer. "Evening" he greeted the two ladies beside him politely, and poured himself a much needed glass of water and chugged it down in an instant...good water was good.
He attempted to move a little closer to the table, but could already barely fit. We're his knees touching the edge? That might not end well. He pushed his chair back again, but was too far away now. Another push forward, now he felt cramped in between the two ladies...did they feel cramped? Was there perfect position to sitting at this table!?!? This whole sitting thing was not doing him any good.
