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.

Somewhat lost in her own thoughts for a few moments it seemed, Josephina mostly sat and listened to some of the chatter around her, keeping a watchful eye on her former house as well. They seemed oddly well behaved and the brunette wondered for a split second if perhaps there was some sort of sleeping gas emitted in the train compartments or something. Snapping out of her reverie, she turned back toward the ~~slightly~~ younger woman and smiled. "Traveling is always enjoyable, alone or with friends and family." It was definitely one of her favorite pastimes in the least.

There little conversation was interrupted by more students. Risu wasn't even sure he had ever seen any of them. Had he been gone for so long? Of course, there were a lot of other issues to think about, and Hogwarts and its students certainly hadn't been on his mind for quite a while.

He vaguely remembered something he had read in the official papers handed to him by the headmaster after he returned to Hogwarts a few days ago. "I, er, have heard that you were of some assistance after I'd been fo-... after I'd been gone," he said, inclining his head. "Taking care of my students- Thank you very much for that too."

Turning toward her ~~peculiar~~ neighbor, Fina nodded when he agreed about the vanishing part. She would admit to be slightly curious about the disappearance, but also knew that if Risu wanted to discuss it than he would have and she wasn't really one to pry.

And then he spoke again, thanking her it seemed for covering some of Astronomy last term. "Oh," Fina said, startled slightly. She hadn't been expecting that. "I don't think I really did them justice compared to what you would have done, but well... you're welcome."

I just wanted to be polite, and introduce myself, and hopefully to meet a few of you..." she trailed off. She then curtsied, for some reason unbeknownst to her. Oh, well she thought. Maybe they'll find it charming...

And then another student. Smiling at the young First year in a comforting manner, "Nice to meet you Elle. I'm Professor Hadley and if you happen to be taken Arithmancy this term, then I shall be seeing you." And if not, then oh well, maybe sometime in the future the girl would change her mind about the subject and she would still get to know her.

SPOILER!!: Tate and Vindictus

Apparently Josephina was far too late with telling Max about the ship on the black lake, as Tate had already filled the Quidditch Professor in and even suggested Max go first in exploring it. A prospect that Fina doubted the man would refuse, because even she knew that though he was one of the older staff members he was by far one of the most adventurous. As if him still being able to fly a broom was enough proof of that.

"I wouldn't object to a little touring of actually being on board..." She said with a smile. "But well perhaps it might be better if I just stay on the lookout." You know, just in case the experts lied.

Legend eyes made a quick search of the table and noticed that Professor Dude- Descoteaux was also there but in his own little world.

Grinning the seventh year took out his wand and gave it a small wave- levitating an old looking chair that had been off somewhere in the corner beside Professor Descoteaux, some new dude with funny hair, and closer to this plump looking guy. Without any hesitation he made his way over to behind the staff table and plopped down in the seat. He just wanted to be COMFORTABLE while he spoke to the professors. "Hello Professor Hadley!" Then as an after thought he added "Hello Professor..new guy." To the guy with funny hair. Just to be polite.

Before she had time to give anymore thought to the schooner, Fina heard a rather familiar voice that seemed RATHER close than just being on the other side of the table. Turning slowly in her chair, she swallowed hard upon seeing a certain Seventh Year Lion had decided to make himself comfortable in a chair right behind where she and Risu and Lachlan were sitting (despite him only addressing herself and the new guy, Lachlan).

"Evening Mister Chosen," She said contemplating her word choice. "While I do appreciate your consideration in wanting to sit with us at the staff table, please return to the other side at once." Or risk being the first point loss of the term, she mentally added, as she glared at him.

SPOILER!!: Tate and Vindictus Quote: Originally Posted by demented_death_eater His blue eyes grew wide and a look of boyish delight washed over his face. "What ship? Please tell me, Fina!" Vindictus begged and he squirmed in his seat. Now this sounded exciting! "I was held captive in a massive sand dune this summer and didn't get a chance to read any newspapers. I must know what you're talking about!" Quote: Originally Posted by Cassirin And WHAT was Max on about? Had he gotten a bit of sun stroke this summer? "Hey, old man... perk up. Should I come to the conclusion that you've been ignoring my owls all summer? I find you a special project, and you... don't even open my letters?" He laughed quietly at the eagerness with which Max was now hanging on to the words of those around him. "Schooner. On the Black Lake." Quote: Originally Posted by demented_death_eater "You should look in the mirror," Max joked back. "I haven't been ignoring your owls - between the sand, Quidditch, and the unexpected issue that unfolded these last few weeks, you're lucky that I'm even here." It WAS true. And Tate knew it 'cause he was there. "So a schooner appeared on the Black Lake. What do we know about it?" Quote: Originally Posted by Cassirin "That it's old," Tate offered, quite helpfully. He knew exactly what Max was referring to, and if he seemed well adjusted himself... well, that was just because he was trained in compartmentalizing. Old ITF trick. "But the experts I brought in say that it's safe enough. You want first go at it?" Quote: Originally Posted by demented_death_eater "Of course I do!" Vindictus exclaimed rather loudly and looked back and forth at the other staff members seated at the table. "So, who wants to come with me?"
