Sir Nicholas knew that it was that festive time of year again. Food... ahh, but alas, he had not eaten for going on 500 years. He made his appearance up through the middle of the table, whilst announcing
"WELCOME BACK GRYFFINDORS!" At the top of his ghostly lungs.

By the time she had worked up the nerve to actually say something and try introducing herself a proper adult walked over and began speaking. She tried to figure out who was who based on who the professor seemed to be looking at as he said them, but was fairly sure she'd forget them all. Maybe people would introduce themselves again, afterwards.
Why the pause before 'leaving'? She couldn't contain her curiosity, and tapped the person she'd sat beside on the arm. "Did something happen to Professor Flam...steed? Last year?" She hoped she'd got the name right
Right in front of a first year Gryffindor appeared Nick's head. Nick smiled at the first year.
"Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington at your service. Resident ghost of Gryffindor Tower. Welcome to the fine house of Gryffindor," he said in introduction.
Nick's head was held high by the large ruffle he had chosen for the night. He levitated himself out of the table and made his way around to say hello to everyone.
"Welcome back! Good evening! Good summer I trust?" he asked along the way.
"Professor Newton, fine welcoming to the Head of Gryffindor House, Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington at your service," he repeated.
Nick floated up to
Blaise,
"Delightful to see you here, Blaise."
