Striding up to the dais, Isabelle pondered on how her first term at Hogwarts had gone. Pretty well, she figured, at least in her own mind. Whether the kids would feel the same was another matter. But right now probably wasn't the time to worry about that - right now was the time to say goodbye to those leaving, and see you soon to those coming back next term. And one of the people leaving had just arrived at table before she had....Maya Saylen. Isabelle liked her. Sure she could be sarcastic, but more often than not she did it in a joking and friendly way. Letting a small smile spread across her face, she stepped up and made her way towards her seat.

Noting all the other Professor's already seated - Vindictus, Jeremy, Fina, Hecate, et al. Probably most importantly, Headmaster Tate. Giving them a grin, nod of the head, and a gentle "Good evening all," she carried on walking past towards Maya. The woman was stood talking to Jeremy, but Isabelle still wanted to speak to her before the food arrived. Fiddling with the two chocolate frogs in her pocket - that she bought with her just in case the food was late in coming, like the opening feast - she sidled up beside the Muggle Studies Professor. "Sorry to interrupt, but I wanted to speak before the feast started proper. It's so hard to do from the other end of the table." Isabelle chuckled, and tilted her head to one side as she looked at Maya... "I'm so sorry that you're leaving, Maya."
