Was that cackling she'd just heard? Moxley glanced around the hall in search of the source, her eyes lingering briefly on the Slytherin table. Seemed like the most likely culprits, to be honest. No cackler in sight, though. Strange, very strange indeed.
Green eyes landing on Paul once again, the Moxinator was quick to grin at his words. "That's what I was going for! The colors felt very Botros to me. Been thinking about him a lot recently." For obvious reasons. She was going to do her best to make him proud. "You certainly look comfortable. I'm about to slip out of these heels in a minute. My dogs are barking." If he was catching what she was throwing out there. Wink, wink.
"Dress to impress, Nana. That's what I always say." Not really but she wanted to give the air of someone who had a mantra. In reality her mantra would be something like Never try to haggle with a muggle who has a 'Beware of Dog' sign on the outside of his antique shop. She'd share that little gem if she heard of any colleagues who were into that sort of thing.
"Tiara, hey!" The headmistress gave a kind smile to the Arithmancy Professor and then added, "Meredith is more than okay. I prefer it, really."
Now Meredith would never hire anyone just because of their looks but it didn't hurt that some of the new staff looked like they were movie stars. Talk about dream-y. "Welcome, Roderik! So glad to have you here. Hope you're settling in okay." He seemed to be. "That goes for the two of you, as well!" She added as she smiled at Julien and Ansley, who were finding their seats.
So many new first years this year. Moxley had turned her attention to the sorting hat ceremony and couldn't help but notice that they were being overrun by the little ones. As adorable as they were, the brunette knew they'd need looking after as this school had a habit of chaos. Lucky she trusted the prefects so much. Kids better be on their game, that was for sure.
"Rocketman, you shouldn't have!" And yet she wasted no time at all opening the gift Airey had given after taking a moment to raise her eyebrows at the wrapping job. You'd think Medea would've taught him how to do that by now, Mer-lin. "Oh," She squeaked as she removed the mug and set it down in front of her, all smiles and enthusiasm. "Airey, it's perfect! Thank you!" Like he shouldn't have but she was glad he did.
And her new feast buddy was here. Moxley returned the fingerwiggle greeting and grinned at Justin. "It was brilliant! The husband took us on a trip to Salem and we did all kinds of sightseeing and shopping-a little more than he wanted but y'know. Heh.-and I got a bunch of things to add to my collection." A collection that had inspired the newest room she'd set up for the students. "What about yours, hm?"
Divine. She looked divine. Moxley let out a little giggle!snort and turned a bit pink as she smiled at James and waved a hand-her left hand because she was married, James, please. "Thank you and welcome."
There he was, her former feast buddy. "Leo, thank you!" Her smile mirrored his as it was quite contagious. "Lovely summer. Seems like they go by quicker every year, doesn't it?" Product of getting old, they said. Moxley wouldn't know because SHE was still the picture of youth. Ahem. "How was yours?"
Bit strange, this one was. Meredith smiled warmly at Art in hopes of relaxing him. Poor man looked like he needed to sit down. "Pleasure to see you, too! Welcome to the team." Again, that is. And officially now that the term was underway.
...Who was that entering the great hall? Moxley had caught sight of a rather frightening woman and immediately decided she was the cackler in question from earlier. Looked like a Disney villain, Merlin.
"Did I miss something....." She must have missed something.
