The speech hadn’t started yet so this was allowed wasn’t it? “Nesssssa” she made her voice go up a bit at the end while hugging the brunette. “I was hoping you’d get here soon. Isn’t this soooo a-mazing. OHMIGOSH we’re professors.” Eeeep!
Eyes catching Culloden looking at them she giggled. “Hello Cosgrach.” Was she saying that right? She walked over giving him hello hug as well. Everyone should get hugs. She thought for a moment to maybe even go down the line and give out hugs. Plus a new person. YAY! “Hello” She said to the woman sitting next to the potions master.
Nessa's happy grin brightened even more so as she caught Cassie's attention away from all the people she was happily conversing with. "Oh yes, she's fine.." the brunette called down towards the other end of the table as she dramatically waved both of her hands dismissively. Eww, why did they have to sit so far apart? Aww, Cassie had the same idea because she was coming over.. yay! She beamed at her as she made her way over. "She had a few feathers stuck in her bejeweled perch, but once I got them straightened out she was fine! Well, that and a few treats." Nessa laughed a bit then returned Cassie's hug as she got halfway out of her seat, then sat back down. "I know! It's so excitinnnggg!" She sang the word a bit at the end. As her blonde BFF went to say hello to Cosgrach, Nessa turned at looked out at all the children seated at the tables. It was going to be SO fun to teach them!

Blocking the thought out he smiled. "I've been lovely. The new shampoo worked wonders. How have you been yourself? Still excited for your new job as History of Magic professor?"
Catching the glance of a frantic waving blond Leo returned the wave with a bright big beam. The blond was most probably Nessa's friend who she'd mentioned would be taking up the Divination position. Nessa beamed back at the Librarian. How nice he was! "Why thank you!" She adjusted her hat just slightly at the mention, so pleased that he liked it. Oh good, it seemed like everything had worked out well for Mr. Librarian since she had seen him last and he seemed so much more pleasant for it. Not that she blamed him, such a personal and potentially embarrassing subject! Anyone would be touchy about it. "Glad to hear it. Oh I've been fantastic, thanks for asking! My show just finishing up, just in time for me start classes... oh yes, so excited!" She couldn't wait to get started and clapped a little at the thought. Term was finally starting!

"Good evening," Seren greeted the new History of Magic professor, smiling broadly as she usually did. Such a shame they hadn't had much consistency by way of that subject, in her time at least, Dash had been the one to occupy that seat the longest. Or was it Vinteren? Who knew.. the man was around enough. "It is a good evening, isn't it?" Nessa smiled even brighter than the lovely woman on her right. Fantastic, really.. the start of a new adventure. "You teach Herbology, right?" She was certain of that, though the name escaped her at the moment as things like that happened at times for her. "I hope you won't mind a visit, I do love flowers." And not just floral prints to wear. She had ideas in mind, mhmm.

"Welcome back to Hogwarts," he said to Nessa as she took her seat on the other side of the table. He'd have to find her later and give her a proper hello, but this table was just too damn long. Even though Nessa was excited, she didn't want to shout too far down the table. There were too many people in between her and Piers that it might be thought of as a tad rude to shout an entire conversation, so she settle for a big grin and a "Thanks!" And another wave. Hehe, he was so adorbs! She would have to make a point to talk to him later.. maybe after the speech.

Annie had never thought that it would be possible to have too much pink in a person... too much bubbly, yes, but too much of her favorite color?! Why had she hired Cassiopeia again??
She sighed and slipped out of her seat to deliver the speech. "Thank you for joining us, Josh," she said simply and moved around to the little podium, casting Sonorous on herself as she went.
Speech time.
"Welcome back, everyone, welcome back." Anastasia waited for the crowd to settle down and listen. "Listen. We start this year on a somewhat somber note. Some of you," she LOOKED at CERTAIN TABLES, "may have heard that we are not having Quidditch this year. Now, before you start an uproar," she held up one hand, "it's for a reason. We had a deliberate threat made against the school's athletes and had to shut it down as a result - at least until we can investigate the source of the threat." Besides that, Tyner had gone on sabbatical, and no quidditch official in his or her right mind was going to try to take on her job.
She flipped her hair over her shoulder and cast a look back toward the staff table. "You'll notice some new faces at the table, not just of new professors, but also of new security that will be present around the school. Again, these measures are for your protection. You cannot learn, you cannot play, you cannot live if your security is at stake. So bear with us as we try to get through this threat."
There. That being said... "Congratulations to our new Sortees, our new staffers, Ms. Morgan and Ms. Glendower, our new Head Boy and Girl, and our new Ravenclaw Head of House." That about covered everyone, so Bunz brought her hands together in a light clap. "Now that the notices are given out, take care and enjoy the feast." With those closing words, the elf-made delicious meal appeared on all the tables, and Bunz happily (though she wasn't actually happy) returned to her seat.
Dinnertime! And speaking of speech.. it looked like it was about to begin! Nessa sat up a little straighter as the Headmistress prepared herself to speak and she looked on, listening intently.
*GASP*
Who on earth would dare to threaten these precious children? Nessa placed her hand over her chest, unable to believe such atrocity. There had to be some sort of mistake. She glanced around for Cassie to give her a can you believe this? kind of look, when she heard her name being spoken by the Headmistress. Hehehe, that was her! Professor Glendower! She faced the tables of children and gave them two-handed waves and a big smile, so excited to be here! Hello everyone!
Oooh, and food now!

Looking down the table she GLARED at the crazy blonde who was doing all that yelling. Seriously woman. Keep your conversation to your own end of the table.
It was because of crazies like her that Cece chose to buy a house in another country. Nessa tucked into her delicious plate of food. Oh she hadn't even realized how hungry she had been due to all the excitement. While she was eating, she glanced around the table, still trying to figure out why one woman looked SO familiar. OH! Oh, oh.. she forgot her neighbor was going to be here too! That's right! "Hey Neighbor!" she exclaimed just past the Herbology professor to the Healer. "It's me, Nessa!" Oh she looked like she wasn't having much of a good time, maybe she just needed to see a friendly face, and she beamed at the other woman before glancing to Cassie. 'LOOK!' she mouthed with a big grin to her friend as did a couple points towards the other woman. How fun that she worked here too!

Oh she just could not resist Cosgrach's charming smiles! And she smiled sweetly in return. "I have," Nessa replied. "I've had a wonderful summer. I'm so pleased with how my show turned out and we finished just in time for term to start." It really was a success as far as the brunette was concerned and she did wonder if the Potions Master had been in the audience at all after she had spoke of it during their first meeting. She didn't see him, but she told herself she just might not have because of the footlights blinding her view of the audience. "I am so looking forward to this term.." She was sure it was going to be amazing.
