The Friar wasn't surprised, but he just wanted to get out of this slump he was in.
All of this was washed away at the sigh of the new badgers. Fresh little guys! Smiling faces! All of it pleased the ghost enormously, and he floated cheerfully towards the yellow clad table.
"Welcome, first years and transfers! You are all very lucky to have been placed here!" He said loudly enough for most of them to hear. "And Derfael, congratulations on that prefect badge! You certainly deserve it!" he beamed.
Momentarily stunned at the sudden appearance of the ghost at the table, Emmalyn felt her jaw drop. It took only a few moments for her head to run though all of the possible things her eyes could be seeing before she came to the conclusion that it really was a ghost.
'This is my new normal. This is my new normal' she said a few times in her head. Turning her gaping mouth into a wide smile, she stood up and waved at the new addition.
"Thank you for the welcome, sir. Are you a member of Hufflepuff too?" Emmalyn glanced over at June and Night to see if they were as excited as she was.
