Alas, fur free, heels clicking on the ground, and with an utmost positive attitude, Medea entered the Great Hall, gaze automatically locating the staff table. Definitely not one of the first.

Although she did spy that there were a couple more chairs than usual, as were the good handful of people she didn't know, Headmistress included. The mood of the Great Hall didn't go unnoticed however. It was...different. Certainly the brewing storm hadn't gotten the students all riled up had it? Nothing like the Hogwarts feast that couldn't cheer them up!

Stepping up to the staff table, she nodded and gave her pleasant "good evenings" to those she passed by before taking her seat between the Charms and Divination professors. Goodness, there were a lot of new professors.

Medea did not take long to glance to her left instead where she knew there'd be a lot less scowl-age. Even if William, Waylon, and Oliver were gone, at least Callie was still here. "Long time no see." she said in a rather, NORMAL, accent, not being able to help but beam a little as she did so. It took her some practice, but she'd been able to actually sound somewhat 'normal' if she really thought about it.
Callie decided that she woudl go ahead and get herself some pumpkin juice while she waited for the Headmistress to make her speech and for the food to arrive. When she turned forward in her chair and leaned forward to pour the sweet juice from it's pitcher she caught sight of a body occupying the seat beside her, Medea's seat.

The blonde instictively closed her eyes for a moment as she turned, hoping to Merlin that her other friend hadn't gone off and quit her post over the summer (since Callie had been pretty unreachable over the break) but when the woman spoke Elwood's eyes shot open and her mouth broke into a wide smile.

"Media, you've been practicing!" The Divination Professor squeeled excitedly to her best friend and grabbed her into a quick little hug. When she pulled back her eyes naturally went to the brunette's outfit. "And don't you look pretty tonight? Glad to be back?"

Besides, she had promised a certain young Slytherin that he would be seeing her soon. She didn't want him to think anything had happened to her... or his broom. Plus she wanted to be there to congratulate her cousin once he got sorted into Slytherin.

After scanning the Slytherin table and not finding either of the boys she was looking for, Cece finally made her way to the staff table where she found...

SPOILER!!: This is MY seat




... Someone sitting in HER seat, and Dash trying to say it was HIS seat.

"Your seat Dash? I do believe the last time we sat at this table, this seat here..." she said pointing to the one the clearly confused woman was sitting in, "...was my seat, not yours. Your seat is over there, on the other side of Seren." This time she pointed to the empty seat between Seren and Leo... where Dash needed to go sit. "Maybe while you're teaching this woman her alphabet, you can learn yours as well." Because the last time Cece checked the alphabet, Healer came before Herbology while History of Magic came after Herbology, meaning Dash needed to move on over to his own seat and this other woman to wherever she landed in the alphabet.

Or, Cece could just go sit at the end of the table next to Hecate since the transfiguration professor wasn't there yet. She was sure the potions mistress wouldn't mind her sitting there for a bit. Then maybe later she would just make her way down the table next to Vanora. They did have a lot of catching up to do after all.
Oh dear.

The Divination Professor had been smiling at Dash as he was talking to the newly hired Astronomy Professor about her mistake but when Cece arrived it looked like the Healer was in no mood to mess around. Callie eyed the poor older woman but couldn't really tell what was being said from that end of the table.

"Evening Cece." She said just loud enough for the other blonde to hear but not really hoping to incite an actual conversation. It seemed they had the nice, chatty people on this side tonight.

Oh a wave from Mrs. Branxton, mission accomplished.

Another grin and then Callie sat back in her chair, shoving her face into her goblet. Next step, actually work up the courage to talk to the woman before she left the Castle.

"Callie!" she chimed out of excitement. "Oh that's wonderful! They're not giving you any trouble are they?" Cause you know, teething was one thing, but they rarely grew out of their seedling mentality. Playful blighters they were.
"No trouble at all!" Calista chriped to the Herbology Professor but then spoke again after a short chuckle, "Well actually they did nip at me here and there but other than that, they were just angels. Perfect companions over the break!" They didn't ask her what was wrong and why she was sad...good things to have along with her this past summer.

Before the 70-year-old could act another woman made her appearance - one that was wearing a rather unpleasant expression. "Oh goodness gracious hEAvens me!" All this over a seat? Had it really been THAT long that she had forgotten how professors sat at the opening feast? Then again, she had been far more concerned with the food at the feast when she had been a student than to have paid too much attention to what the professors were doing. "I am sooooooo teeeeeeeeeeeerribly sorry, dear." And she rose out of the seat at once.

She did venture a glance towards the studmuffin before making her towards the other side of the table. "Perhaps we both should find our own seats now, hmmmm?" And an apology for startling her would be much appreciated as well, but that went without saying. Right, Mr. Studmuffin?
"Well it's a pleasure Marion. I can't wait to have another Professor up in the towers with me this term, last term I was all alone up there." Apart from the Ravenclaw and Gryffindor students but she meant adults.

Callie took another sip of her drink, watching over the rim of her goblet as the scene continued to unfold with Cece and Dash. Once the woman began to head towards Elwood's end of the Table she caught the woman's attention again. "This side of the table's better anyways." She said with a wink.

A feast that she had to look exceptionally presentable for, as a veteran professor, and head house, considering it was the first with the new headmistress. Not to mention if the rumors were true of the Board of Governors dining with them.

Clacking her way down the aisle, she noticed the sorting ceremony had begun and immediately her hazel eyes found her Hufflepuffs, searching for the new ones. And then, her eyes came up to the dais and she frowned; so many chairs. But at least one thing was consistent, which was that her chair was still second from the end.
Oh and Fina had arrived! Callie had gotten to know the Arithmancy Professor fairly well the past term and was glad to see another familiar face among the small sea of new ones seated at the Staff Table. "Evening Fina, that dress looks lovely on you." The woman sure knew how to work her House color.

She took in the woman's appearance with her usual head-to-toe analysis, though her face remained neutral for once. She wasn't sure what to think of the lady in orange, though she did approve of her bracelets and whatnot. It was definitely a look that matched her subject.

"Thank you, Calista. I hope you've Seen great things for Hogwarts this year." A slight evil smile curved upward on the redhead's lips as she offered her hand for the professor to shake....
"Hi." Callie said again awkwardly, fully aware of the blue eyes sweeping over her appearance. Gahhh she KNEW she shouldn't have worn the orange dress! What was she THINKING?! The orange totally clashed with the new headmistress's hair!

Ummmm.....

WHAT DID THAT MEAN?!?! "Uh, yeah I hope so." And with that, Callie turned on the spot and headed back to her chair. Freak out to commence in 3...2...1
