It made Renée wonder a bit, if her colleagues all knew what had gone on last term with some of the students and thought she'd not come back, or if maybe it was just because the other new professor last term had left, that there had been uncertainty. Either way, she wasn't one to quit without having a good reason, so she was back. She'd smiled again as Fina had asked the conversational question, though. "My summer was quite enjoyable," she replied, "Travel, and seeing friends and family always seem to make things enjoyable, don't you think?" Fina didn't need to know how confusing things had gotten near the end. Quote:

Smiling politely she answered, "Yes, Bentley, Seren Bentley... and you are?" Back to the distraction that the new professors had made, along with the weirdness that was Max. Thinking students were invading the staff table and such, which definitely happened but rarely did any of the students refer to them as staff in familiar terms. Not to mention, Renée was fairly certain Seren and Lachlan were decidedly not students anymore. Young, yes, compared to Max (not herself, as she refused to acknowledge she was almost only a year away from being thirty.), but not students.
The polite smile she had gotten in response to her question made her feel a little bit embarrassed, if only because the reasoning wasn't obvious. She returned the smile, however. "Renée Bishop. I teach Divination," she answered, before adding, "You just seemed familiar somehow." Obviously, Max had thought so as well, as she couldn't truly believe the deputy headmaster was going senile. That was just impossible in her mind, and she imagined she'd be able to solve that mystery easily if she tried. She wasn't about to pull that on Seren, or Max, though. Respect was better right now.

There was no doubt that his friends were waiting for him to show his legendary and loud self there and those girls, no doubt, were looking for him. Well...they had to wait some more. Plus...girls were getting scarier and scarier as time passed so somebody was supposed to find a way to deal their hormones yet that person was definitely not Josh Carter. He had to hide from girls' sight!
Anyway...
Reaching to the staff table with a HUGE GRIN on his face, he stopped right before it, at a point where he could see everybody with ease. Hmmmmm...some people here he did not know...yet. And among them there were lovely ladies too but no one could replace Lafay. Mahahahahahaha and bahahahahahahahaha! *snort*
''HELLO MY LOVELY PROFESSORS!'' the seventeen year old lion boy exclaimed cheerfully, of course, with his usual overly-confident demeanor. ''I AM SURE YOU ALL HAVE MISSED ME SO MUCH OVER THE SUMMER SO I JUST WANT TO SAY HI AND GIVE THOSE!!'' Mmmhmmm.
Shaking the bucket of white flowers in his hand to show it to them, the Gryffindor then hurried and started to give one each. ONLY TO THE LADIES surely enough, he moved dropping a white flower in front of them as he passed by.
Once he was finished, only a single red rose remaining in his hand, Josh stopped right before Professor Lafay and grinned widely. ''And to the loveliest of my professors'' he uttered coolly and dropped the red rose to the plate in front of her.
Hehehehe. Yeah he knew he was probably going to hear something like 'Get lost, Carter!' yet it was always way better than 'Detention, Carter!'
Yeah, sure it was.... And speaking of respect . . . Renée covered her grin for a moment as Mr. Carter made his appearance. Not exactly the way she'd've gone, if she'd still been a student, but then Josh had seemed a little, well, exuberant last term. And that wasn't really the most accurate adjective, but she was trying to give him benefit of the doubt. Especially as he was giving them all flowers. "Why thank you, Josh," she replied as he'd quickly reached herself during his trip down the table. The flaw of being one of two females on this end, alhough she didn't have much of a problem with that. Other than the fact she hadn't spoken to many of the other professors last term, and they wer all on the other side of the headmaster.
The response the Gryffindor was going to get from Hecate was going to be interesting, though. She wondered if it would surprise him, but then it seemed, more distractions were arriving. Quote:

She really did owe Professor Saylen so much considering that the woman had fixed her relationship with Walnut - despite the cat thinking that he was now King of the Common Room once more.
Sighing a bit, Kurumi finally made her way to the table and made sure to greet with Headmaster Tate first. " Good evening," she said addressing anyone at the table that would listen and bowing deeply at the hips. " I am looking forward to my third term and all the opportunities and knowledge you may provide. Once again, please accept these cookies as a thank you for things to come."
Having completed her simple greeting, Kurumi then handed out a small white box to each professor that contained one house cookie eat - Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Gryffindor.
She felt like she needed to apologize to Professor Vindictus as she handed him the cookies considering that she was total rubbish when it came to flying...and she bowed especially deeply before him...but found herself too flustered to get a proper word out. "I-I-I hope I can improve in your class this term, Professor Vindictus," she said shyly before scurrying to the side a bit and bowing once more to Headmaster Tate as she continued to move down the line until she was in front of her Head of House and Professor Zookara.
" I hope you had a lovely holiday," she chirped as she set the cookie boxes in front of the two. " Professor Zookara, thank you once again for all the conversations last term. Things got a bit better over the summer since my father is now working at the Daily Prophet. I got to spend some time away from all the negativity back home." She smiled and returned her hands to her robe's pockets. " Walnut missed you." Well, at least she was sure the cat would say such if he were around. "Good evening to you as well, Kurumi," Renée replied to the little Gryffindor with another smile. "And thank you for the cookies. I'm sure you'll do fine this term." She hoped the girl still understood she was available for anything, even though last term had started off oddly. She was there for the students, and not just when it came to Divination. And then Kurumi had moved along to address those at the other end of the table. Renée watched her a bit longer,listening to what she'd told Jeremy, but finally turned her attention to the students at the tables. And the box of cookies. She remembered Kurumi's cookies from last term, and the girl had a talent. Quote:

She tried not to look at the newly occupied seats, especially the one that used to be Professor Welton's. It still sucked that her favorite professor wasn't coming back anymore...and she even had a nice basket of apples for everyone. Speaking of the apples...
Cass looked down on the basket of apples that she had been holding to check that nothing had fallen off or was stolen then continued her way up towards the staff table. Normally, she wouldn't be the one who gave gifts to professors during the start of term feast, that would have been Kurumi's job, but with all the stressful events happening around Hogwarts, she thought that teachers could use a break. Or a delicious apple
Then she set the basket down on the table and smiled politely "Good Evening Professors. I'm looking forward to be attending your classes " Addressing all of them, but most specifically the new teachers...she was excited to know how different their teaching style is compared to their predecessors. Deciding if she wanted to eat a cookie had to be abandoned as yet another student had decided to approach the staff table, and Renée smiled at the Slytherin. At this rate, we aren't going to starve, she thought wryly, but didn't verbalize the thought. Instead, "Good evening, Cass," she returned, as she accepted an apple and placed it on her plate carefully. Near the box of cookies. "I'm looking forward to seeing you in my classes," she returned, with another smile. "And thank you for the apple." It seemed new professors always got the students attention, which she didn't begrudge. They interested herself as well, but more so because she still had that nagging feeling she recognized them.
