Neither looked like the Gryffindor girl, but they didn't seem like Puffs either. That left one to be the Head Girl and one to be the Minister's daughter, and it was evident which was which as soon as the children spoke again.

"Hello," she went with a blanket greeting for both girls, offering neither a handshake just yet. What was the Head Girl wearing, anyway? Pajamas? Ugh. "Ms. Carter, Ms. Greingoth. I am Headmistress Truebridge, and this is.... Board of Governors President Rae-Branxton." Or whatever she wished for them to call her. "Her daughter will also be attending Hogwarts this term."

That wasn't why she was here, of course, but... it was a detail, and took some of the attention off herself.

"That's an enormous mouthful of a title, isn't it? I'm perfectly happy to be called Professor." She wasn't quite sure she wanted Genevieve brought up like that, not when her independent daughter had been so adamant about not wanting special treatment... but she was kidding herself if she didn't realize that transferring in one's seventh year was the epitome of special treatment.

"Sierra and I have met," Cassandra gave the girl an amused look. Teenagers were little bundles of bad attitudes and it was hard to hold their dispositions against them. They simply couldn't help it. "You attended my philanthropic event over the summer. Your father was one of my special guests."

And the girl had lurked in the corner and sneered at people the whole time. Not... quite the charmer.

"Genevieve attended Beauxbatons for the past six years," Cassandra tilted her head slightly and took in the uncertain smile on the girl's face. Ms Carter? This girl must be the Ravenclaw Head Girl, so she was a responsible student leader in spite of her unease.

"I'd consider it a special favor if you'd make her feel welcome."

Ian came in with plenty of sweets. He had raided the food trolley. There were liquorish wands, Bertie Bott's Every-Flavour Beans, Droobles Best Blowing Gum, Chocolate Frogs, Pumpkin Pasties and Cauldron Cakes in every pocket. In each hand he held a chocolate frog, though the one in his right was nearly finished. "I swear, my wife never lets me have these." He pointed at the headmistress with a chocolate covered finger. "Don't tell her please..." and then he saw her.

"I..." OH, DEAR MERLIN. "So I was," she said, but her words came out a bit too fast. She eyed the woman with her horror-filled eyes, begging her not to say anything terrible about her in front of her peers.

...and the new Headmistress.

"It was a lovely event," she said. "Oh, and I met your..." WAIT. No. NOOOO.

...WHY?!

She didn't finish that sentence. All she knew was that she had a seventh year to make nice with...and fast, too.

"Ladybug!" He said bending down to Alexander's girl. "Aren't you precious! And a prefect to boot." she said looking her. "Congratulations..." Wait. Did he know that already? Had they discussed it? Oh well.
