She craned her neck out further, getting a look at one of the other professors he had addressed. Lachlan.... Lachlan... there was something vaguely familair about the man. She offered him a smile and shrugged her shoulders.
Turning back to Max she cleared her throat, "Oh Merlin!... Max I graduated years ago. Have you lost your marbles? perhaps a few too many bludgers to the head?"
She was seriously beginning to question his health and his sanity.

That was yet another thing she was curious about, but contemplation of what she knew or suspected about that was paused as she'd heard the unmistakable sound of arrivals.

Heading down, she found she still hadn't made it before the students. That didn't bother her, as at least she was no longer an entirely new professor, and as such she walked into the Great Hall like it wasn't a big deal. It really wasn't, as she figured almost nothing could get worse than what had happened last term between herself and some of the students. That had seemed to get situated, as much as it could have, so there was nothing to be nervous about.

Stepping up to the staff table, she walked toward her seat, but first sent a smile over at Fina as she passed the Arithmancy professor. "Hello Fina," she said to the woman, noting the man she was talking to. Hmmm, she thought, Must be one of the new ones. Sending him a smile, she continued walking, only to listen to Professor Vindictus (Max, she reminded herself) speaking as she approached. Of course her seat was right next to his. She wondered if he knew they were supposed to work together in some way, this term. Or if he remembered way back when she'd been a student. That, at least, didn't seem to be unlikely, as she heard his comment to the man who had been talking to Fina and turned to look at him again before glancing at the blonde who was on the other side of the deputy headmaster and Ravenclaw HoH. Lachlan, Seren . . . Something clicked, and a curious expression crossed her face as she finally took a seat, then glanced past Max again.

"Headmaster," she said to the man on the other side of Max, before her attention went back to the blonde who had been speaking, apparently to Hecate for the moment. "Seren, is it?," she asked politely, still smiling. Either this was deja vu or she suddenly was in some sort of alternate dimension. Working with half the people she remembered from when she was a student.

Signs of Vindictus' age were beginning to show; not only had he mistaken him and the other woman, Seren, and mentioned a food fight, but also changed his mind at least two times over visiting the infamous ship. Though significantly older than Maximus Vindictus, MacFusty's own father was senile from time to time--it happened, Lachlan supposed, and it was natural, but that didn't mean he could hold back the chuckle that escaped from him.

How dreadfully rude of him. Still funny, though.

Clearing his throat, the man caught some brunette and the Seren woman smiling at him. He smiled back at them, and nodded respectfully whilst uttering a "Hello," he did not expect them to say anything in return; after all, one was all the way down to the table and given all the chattering around them, the one closer to him would probably not be able to hear either.

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....

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.

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.

Introductions, flowers, cookies and apples. Some of them weren't for him, but Lachlan offered each of the students a small smile all the same. There was a scar on the boy's face, and after shooting it a curious look at the student while he chatted with another professor down the table, he turned to the girls, "Thank you for the cookies, the apples, and the warm welcome, Misses...?" Their names. Obviously, being new, Lachlan wasn't familiar with them; and Josephina hadn't been kind enough to mention them when thanking the young girls.

The Slytherin cookie and apple he had taken, though, were not eaten. Lachlan conjured a cookie-sized plastic container to store it in, and simply put the apple near his plate. It wasn't that he didn't trust them... except he totally didn't. They could have spiked those with anything, for all he knew, because the truth was that teenagers weren't meant to be trusted--he'd know. He had been one, too.

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...

Oh, another Gryffindor. And quite the young one at that. "Professor MacFusty," Supplied the Care of Magical Creatures teacher. Children. Not unlike baby unicorns, they were little, excited and endearing. Unlike baby unicorns, though, children grew up, and then mother nature had puberty slap them across the face.

Horrible.

Lachlan smiled at the girl. "Pleasure to meet you. I hope you have a lovely first term."

Not that he minded much: The seats were given out alphabetically by subject, and he was not particularly given to a lot of the boisterous celebrating and discussing that seemed to be going on at other parts of the table where students walked up and down, chatting to their favourite teachers. Or throwing down the gauntlet to their least favourite ones, who knew.

There was this to say about Risu Antares: He looked a little different. Tired. Much closer, all vanity aside, to his age now. The grey in his hair had become more pronounced, and the tiny wrinkles around his eyes that used to only show up when he smiled seemed to making a more permanent appearance now. Apart from the headmaster and a few other people, no one really knew much about his sudden departure from Hogwarts the term before, but it had not been half a year of holidays in the sun, apparently.

Nevertheless, as he was sitting down, Risu smiled at the person to his right, the Arithmancy instructor Josephina Hadley. The person to his left was an unknown to him, but he mumbled a hello before leaning back in his seat and staring into the Great Hall where the students sat talking and laughing, seemingly lost in thought.

One of the two empty seats at his sides were occupied; the man looked quite tired, though content and MacFusty gave the him a respectful nod of his brunette head. "Good evening."

Max was hardly inappropriate to be calling him that as his colleagues.

Turning back towards the man who originally claimed to be horrible at Arithmancy, Josephina wouldn't have been the least bit surprised. After all, he was a Magical Creatures Professor. "No offense taken," she commented lightly, offering him a quick smile. "Pleasure, yes, Lachlan." MacFusty, did he say? Why did that name sound SO familiar? If she had only paid attention more in History classes.... Or maybe she didn't even have to look that far?

Offense? Lachlan wouldn't have thought his previous comment could have been taken as an offense, but women were, sometimes, not unlike the riddles centaurs could sprout after observing the stars. MacFusty used to find it mildly irritating, but he was used to it by now. Only meant for Josephina's ears--and obviously for the Astronomy Professor, seeing that he was sitting in between them--, Lachlan inquired, "Are students usually this friendly and excited over the new term?"

Then as an after thought he added "Hello Professor..new guy." To the guy with funny hair. Just to be polite.

Even without his school robes Lachlan would have recognized this particular student as a member of the house of Godric Gryffindor; his current overly-confident demeanor marked him at once. The gift and curse of being a Gryffindor, he supposed. "Lovely wand work there, kid," Lachlan allowed, with an easy grin, because it was true. Summoning charms, especially when they involved big objects, weren't as easy as most made them out to be. "Professor New Guy's name is Lachlan MacFusty and he thinks you should listen to Professor Hadley and go back to the other side." The Other Side. That sounded ominous, did it not? He tilted his head to one side. "Unless there's a perfectly good reason for you to be sitting on this side, then I'm all ears, and I'm sure Professor Hadley is, too."
