"Good evening, Jared," Fina replied back. "Renee." She said, offering a friendly smile to the Divination Professor, whom she'd unfortunately not had much contact with this term. "I see you've both survived your first year teaching here." Because of course it would only get easier after year one, hopefully, generally speaking.

Renée hadn't necessarily expected Josephina to speak to her, even though the likelihood of the Arithmancy professor not saying anything when she had replied to Jared's greeting was slim. She knew the slightly older woman to not be rude, at least, which made sense given her school years and the house she'd been in. But she still returned the friendly smile. "Josephina," she said simply, before the smile turned a bit brighter at the subsequent comment. "It certainly seems that way. But I have to say, Hogwarts students really didn't seem that much more difficult than others." Of course, that was to be expected, given the stereotypes about New York and its people. Even with the few issues she'd had over the term, things had gone much better this time around.

Text Cut: Selina and Nika

With that thought, Renée turned as she heard two voices, and smiled at Selina and Nika. Both young Gryffindors had seemed to connect to her somehow, even if she couldn't really explain how. Well, Selina was easier to understand than her housemate, as she'd actually provided the redhead with a lot of support when she'd needed it. At least she thought she had. "Hello, Selina, Nika," she replied to them, before an inquisitive look crossed her face as Selina continued. Glancing down the table, she'd seen that a few others of the professors had gotten gifts as well, which made her feel a bit more comfortable about the situation. But it was still unexpected, and the miniature speech had only made her more, well, honored that the girl had thought of her that way. "Well, thank you," she said, giving the redhead another smile as she slid the gift towards her. "I hope you can continue moving ahead with things. Understanding is always better than the alternative," she added, hoping the girl would understand that she was talking about her skills without revealing them. And then she opened the gift. "It's beautiful," she said, looking up again. "I wish I had something to give you in return, now." That could go on her list of things to look for over the summer, however. Provided Selina came back next term.

Slipping on a bit of slightly - damp stone and catching her balance she felt her cheeks flush.

Photos!: goodies

Inside the bag was a little card that read: Thanks for a fun term, I hope you all enjoyed it as well. There was also a little bit of more personal messages on them, that well everyone could read themselves yeah?

There was also a nice little assortment of candies, muggle & magical lemon drops, chocolate frogs, cauldron cakes, the works anything you could imagine and everything you could imagine was magically in the bag. Well after all it had an undetectable extension charm on it.

The Ravenclaw girl smiled, "There's a Staff member's name on each of the bags...hope you enjoy" she smiled, her big blue eyes glistening happily as she stood there in front of the staff table with a load of different things in each bag. Yes, even some (well most) of the bouncy ball collection she'd started over the year. Who couldn't use a little bit of fun eh?

She reached into the box and put Headmaster Tate and Deputy Headmaster (and Professor) Vindictus's bags infront of them. In Vindictus there was a little special thing - the mock up of the first broom she ever planned to design. Yes Mrs. Quite-Blond was planning to live out her dream of a broom designer - and this broom was only well...two inches long right now but you could collapse it out to full size. What she called a pocket-broom only problem was the possible expansion - luckily it was in a bag with an undetectable extension charm on it. There were little personalized things for each Professor depending on the class they taught - a little cauldron for a certain Potions Professor, miniature hedge clippers things she'd found around and thought would bring a smile to anyones faces.

It seemed the student gifts only kept coming, which made Renée think about back when she'd been a student. She couldn't remember a lot of end-of-term gift-giving to the professors back then. It seemed things had changed, but then it also seemed Kyle's gift had been spread around the room, as it seemed all the student tables had little bags as well. "Why thank you, Kyle," she said, making sure Selina's gift was safe before leaning over to find hers at the same time as noticing the cookies that also seemed to have been placed on the table. How she'd missed that earlier, she didn't know. Selecting a cookie at the same time as her gift bag, she settled back into her seat. "I'm sure I'll enjoy this as much as I can," she continued, to the Ravenclaw. "Oh, and if you speak with Kurumi, tell her thank you for the lovely cookie as well." And the fortune that apparently was inside, as she'd broken open the cookie to find the slip of paper shortly before Headmaster Tate made his speech.

Applauding along with everyone as the speech finished, she found herself biting back a sigh at the mention of the staff who weren't around anymore. She'd been thinking about them earlier, and the mention had only brought those thoughts back. At least there had been the usual congratulatory notices as well, to temper the concern. Not to mention the food, which was certainly welcome. She couldn't survive on Kurumi's cookie and whatever was in Kyle's goody bag for long.

He might have tweaked that quote a little, to suit his own needs.

He inclined his head a notch, to acknowledge her following remark. "True. But I've yet to see two entirely different concepts that cannot overlap." Coincidences had, after all, a far higher chance than a certain mademoiselle's remarks did, of being innocent. Selina had arrived at the staff table before he could say so, however, and as she addressed Renée, he turned to Josephina, a faint smile playing around his lips as his colleague responded to his greeting.

"Good evening." Survived. She could not have chosen a more appropriate term, and Jared found that mildly amusing. "Surprisingly, yes," he grinned. Irrespective of his decision, at least he could look forward to two months of no oggling, eyelash-batting, scary female students. That'd be a relief.

Text Cut: Ellie (and Jared's reaction)

Selecting a couple pieces of roast chicken, as well as some of the mashed potatoes that weren't already on Josefina's plate, Renée slipped Selina's gift into her robe pocket for the time being before turning to Jared again. She hoped he didn't mind waiting for a response. "Touché, Monsieur Descoteaux," she said with a grin, in response to his words about meaning. That seemed to be more accurate when it came to the two of them than she hoped could be attributed to everyone else. She did still believe there was innocence in the world, even if it was rare.

The other comment was much more interesting. "I never said they couldn't overlap," she pointed out, before he was distracted by others. Among which appeared to be a certain redheaded Ravenclaw wielding a camera, and that elicited another grin from her. She wasn't necessarily to the point of trying to start any conversations with the girl, as things were still tenuous between her and the Ravenclaw, even if slightly less fraught with animosity. She have her suspicions about Ellie when it came to Jared's fear of being ogled, though, and the photograph only seemed to further those suspicions. It remained to see how the girl would reply to Jared's comment, now.

However, she was on a mission to find one Professor in particular. Her first year would have been a lot harder without the support of this one person. When she found out about her... condition Bishop was right there to help her along. She took time with her and made her realize that perhaps one day her curse would be controllable. Selina was grateful for the support. Hogwarts was great and all, but sometimes the support was daunting because it had to be sought in the form of Professors. Once she reached Bishop Selina shyly spoke up, "Um, excuse me ma'am? I uh, have something for you. A thank you for everything you've done this year. I don't know what I would have done without your guidance and support, but mostly just the support." Taking in a deep breath Selina said, "Good teachers- teach. Great teachers- inspire. You inspired me this year, ma'am. I hope that you will accept this." Then Selina outstretched her hand and put the gift on the table.
