But she was ecstatic nonetheless and for some bizarre reason she felt like she just wanted to stick her tongue out at a certain Everett Scabior, aka Dash, as often as she could during the feast. Mostly because her Hufflepuffs had done it. REALLY DONE it. And she was proud of every single one of them.
Which of course is why even as she took her customary seat near the end, the Arithmancy Professor had this ridiculous grin plastered onto her face. Isabelle's smile spread wider upon entry to the Great Hall. The sight of the yellow and black banners wasn't something she had seen for a while - not since she'd been teaching, and certainly not so much when she was a student. But now they were resplendent hanging above the tables.
What's more she was so happy for Fina, the Huffies Head of House. So much so that, instead of going straight to her seat when she got to the staff dais, Isabelle wandered down the other end of the table, greeting her colleagues that had already sat down.
"Evening all. Edvard..." she smiled at him as she passed.
"Fina! Congratulations on the House Cup and everything else. You must be so proud of the Badgers." Isabelle lowered her voice slightly, so it didn't echo down the hall. Leaning forward she grinned at the woman and squeezed her arm.
