Giddily, the Friar floated towards the yellow side of the Great Hall, the wonderful Hufflepuffs! He was right excited to see them all! He stopped right next to young Carl and smiled at them all.

"Hello, badgers! How are you all doing tonight? Waiting for the speech, still?" he glanced up at the staff table. It looked like the headmistress was still chattering away to her colleagues...speaking of which, what was the Hufflepuff Head of House wearing? Alfred just didn't understand the man's style choices a lot of times. It sort of resembled a very short dress...a knitted dress.

"Summer is almost here! Are you all excited?" he asked them with a chuckle and a rub of his round belly.
