It was while she was looking that the nods and smiles from Fina and Medea caught her eye. Issy gave them a small wave and supped some water to quench her thirst. Not only had she lost track of time before, she'd also neglected to have her evening cup of tea. Unforgivable really.

But a conversation a student seemed to be trying to have with Tate make her stop and stare. Toddles had a glass orb? Isabelle's eyes darted out among the kids, searching for the little house elf. She'd thought Tate had locked that away in his office. What was going on?
Aww and she was welcoming her to the school! This woman was very nice, she didn't even let their distance along the table keep her from talking to the new faces. That was just lovely.

"Thanks so much, I'm glad to be here." Calista called back down the table, her voice raised just enough.

"Yes. Always check the labels. Make sure your clothing is not made by poor Muggles in those sweater shops." He sniffed importantly, prepared to drop the subject of discussing her attire now and instead talk more about Sybil, but apparently Callie had a real way of rerouting the conversation back to her.

He sighed.

"Fine, whatever, I'll help you fix your dress." He was good at fixing things, anyway. William always had liked working with his hands anyway. He was about to turn back toward one of his other coworkers when Calista basically drooled on him in her excitement to ogle Baldie.

"Heh," he chuckled before answering. "That's good 'ol Leobald Kitridge, former Ravenclaw. Not really sure what his position is though." Must've been a new hire; and since he was a 'Claw, Willy was betting he was the librarian. Ravenclaws like LIVED in the library. Smirking to himself, Willy added, "He loves it when you cal him 'Baldie' by the way. Sorta like a childhood nickname thing."

Or, in Calista's case, it could become her pet name for Leo.
Right....Muggles in sweater shops...Callie understood perfectly.

She didn't dislike Willy, to be honest it was the opposite, but he had spit on her not too long ago and was trying to tell her how to dress--Calista didn't listen to people who did that, however his case for fake feathers or at least ones that were from DEAD ANIMALS made sense.

"Thank you William. I will bring it over some night this week." She would find his office, he needn't worry. Medea would surely let her in on that information. Now she just needed to collect all of the feathers she could and put them in her hand bag.

Her efforts of retrieving all of the fallen feathers was stopped when William began to fill her in on the new guy down the way. "Oh? Leobald." Sounded cute as he looked.

O___o

"Baldie?" She was pulled out of her day-dream to look at Willy with an eyebow raised and an incredulous look on her face. Surely he liked being called 'Baldie', well maybe he did. She eyed him again. "Hmmm...doesn't sound like a very attractive nickname but I guess I can try it if you say others call him that." She HAD heard him call the man that though.

She tossed her long black hair out of her face with a shake of her head as she reached them. "Hello professor's." She dipped her head slightly in respect and went on "I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Morgana Arthur. It's a pleasure meeting you. I am a first year at this school, but I have actually studied at Durmstrang before."
Calisat nodded towards the student trying to take a moment of silence to commit the girl's name to memory for future reference. She tried!!
SPOILER!!: Headmaster tate and Gryffie kid talking about Elf and Orb

"I appreciate your telling me. You may return to your table." He rose from his seat and gave Max a rap up side the head. This was his fault. Somehow.

"Excuse me, please. I have to go retrieve Max's trophy." And then it was going BACK to his office.

Hmmm...

What was all that about? Callie had missed what the student had said to the Headmaster but obviously it was important enough for him to have to leave the Staff Table and go out into the student ones. The Divination Professor watched as the man made his way to the table filled with all the students who's robes were trimmed in red, like the girl who had brough the purplr cookie....Kurumi!, and began to mess with something that she couldn't see.

Oh well he was on his way back now.

On the dais, Tate remained standing, waiting until the students quieted a bit before he began his long-overdue speech. "Welcome back to Hogwarts for another term. I apologize for the delay in getting things started, but for those who are returning students, you know that nothing ever goes exactly as planned."

"We have several new professors and staff members joining us this term, and I hope you'll make them feel welcome. Remember that every staff member deserves your respect and courtesy, whether in class or in the corridors."

"I know there was some curiosity about the happenings last term. We have yet to discover why exactly the creatures were coming out of the Forbidden Forest, although we suspect it has to do with the orb some of you spotted around the school. As the creatures seem to have settled back in without issue, I don't see any reason to continue to dwell on it. We have a Ministry specialist coming to examine the orb, and if there is anything to share, you will be informed shortly. Other than that... enjoy the feast and we'll see you in class."
Oooh a lovely speech.

Callie clapped lightly when Tate finished and smiled politely his way when he sat down.

..........

After eating a delicious meal of roasted chicken, green beans, mashed parsnip, and two rolls of amazing bread, Calista was very full and felt as if she wasn't going to make it up to the Divination Tower. Once the Feast began to die down and the students were starting to leave, Callie stood up and pushed her chair back in. Turning to Medea and Willy. "I'm off to bed you two. It was great to see you again. We need to meet up again soon."

She waved goodnight and then walked along the table nodding and waving to each of the others. None of them had quite as long of a walk as she did though--lucky.
