Nice and wrinkly, just like him.
She was awoken from her nap by..
What's his name again.. Pears? Yes, that's it. And he was saying what now? She was looking TRASHY this evening? She sniffed haughtily and sent him a death glare. But before she could respond...

Anastasia tossed back the goblet in one go, choking it down and gagging a little bit because of the smell. She forced the vile beverage down regardless because this was THE cure. This was it! THIS would take her back to her wrinkle-free red-haired self! Once the drink was drank, the Headmistress wiped her mouth on the back of her hand and hobbled around the table to her usual speech-giving spot. Was it just her imagination or was the skin on her face and neck tightening up already? She gripped the edges of the podium tight nonetheless, cast sonorous on herself, and spoke up to the crowd.
"Attention teachers and students, we have FOUND a CURE to the aging disease! Healer Boyle and...." shoot, what was his name, her mind wasn't 100% just yet, "Healer Wombat will be around to each table with the potion shortly. You will want to mix it with something to dilute the.... taste." And the smell, for reals. "So help each other out and pass that along.
"Thank you all for surviving this term; as of right now, I only know of one staff member leaving, and that is because she wishes to further her divination studies abroad." Annie sort of turned her head in Calista's direction before facing forward again.
Now one last thing before they could eat... "Congratulations to Hufflepuff for winning the House and Quidditch Cups, AND Gobstones too. Congrats to Ravenclaw for coming in second place in Quidditch and Gobstones, and to Gryffindor for coming in second in the House cup." That had been a long time coming for both of those houses, so that was why she was recognizing them. "Congratulations also to all our graduating 7th years and best of luck. That's all I have to say, so without further ado, let's EAT and DRINK UP!"
Did Anastasia just say CURE? Tiara moved
as slow as a snail as fast as she could and held out her goblet for potion. "
I'm 276 years old here, let me have some, young whippersnappers!" she said in a commanding voice. The rest of the speech was going to be completely lost on her until she had some lovely curative potion going through her system.
