That would be much faster than going up to the table to get her. Wave. WAVE. Nod. NOD. A gesture at the basket holding the snake. A few more gestures at cousin Ha- Professor Paton. "She'll be able to tell us what type of snake this is and what to do." Best to give the snake to someone that new all about them. "Would you like a hug?" Hugs usually helped her feel better.
Peeves. How could the blonde not take notice to him when he was announced his own presence like that? Lifting her blue eyes up at him, she smiled softly. "Hello, Peeves. What game is it that you'd like to play?" Her eyes fell upon the balloons he was juggling. Yup, those were surely going to be trouble but maybe if she played along...

Even as he was speaking, Keighley was making attempts to get their cousin’s attention. “Our little snake friend here will have a good home wherever that will be.” He’d offer a hug too but he was much too busy sharing his attention with Peeves. "If you say so." Maria murmured back at Keighley when the older girl reassured her that Professor Paton their new CoMC profssor would be able to identify the snake and what to do with it. Maria just wanted it to be not here. Before she could respond to the hug offer she was stopped by a screaming Henry. Swallowing she said to him "I'm sorry Henry. I didn't know what else to do." Eyes turned for a moment to the snake that had now stuck it's full head out of the basket, and was eyeing her with red eyes. Drawing her gaze away from the snake she said weakley to Keighley with a big head nod "I'd really like that hug now. Waiting to see if the older girl meant her offer she cast a look at Jude. "You're not allowed to bring a snake to school right?" Please don't tell her that she was going to be in trouble for a gift? Quote:

"Snake problem?" Oho. "I believe the politically correct term is-" Peeves flipped upside down. "'Ssssslytherin.'"
Now topsy turvy, his juggling act became complicated and perilous, but the poltergeist seemed hardly to break his stride.
"I'm glad you asked!" he said to that one Hufflepuffle who had, indeed, asked. "CATCH!" And he zoomed up the table, indiscriminately lobbing water balloons - which were in fact full water... stinking water, scooped directly from the Weasley swamp on the fifth floor - at random Pufflehuffs seated at the table.
SPLASH. SPLATTER. SPLAT. One of the unwritten rules of Hogwarts was to keep at least some of your attention on Peeves when he was nearby or you could be in for an unpleasant surprise. Maria of course was distracted by the snake with the red eyes, because who wouldn't when a water ballon splattered right over her head and she was doused in smelly swamp water. "Ewwwwwwwww!" she cried out as the water dripped down on her skin. Feeling the vile build in her mouth she tried her best not to gag. Quote:

He was here to manage the situation- well - situations because he wasn’t aware of their new house “pet”.
He looked at his Hufflepuffs momentarily before addressing the Poltergeist. First, he’d need Peeves off the scene and then he could repair things. “Peeves that’s quite enough for tonight!” he spoke loudly. “Be gone unless you want to clean up your mess.”
Blue eyes filled with concern, he turned to address his Hufflepuffs. He did notice that some of them had drawn their wands which made him smile. “Is everyone okay?” Finally a professor decided to show up at the badger table. It was not Professor Paton, but Professor Holden. Maria kept quiet as Professor Holden tried to make Peeves clear off. Which usually was easier said than done. Hearing his question a few moments later Maria shook her head several times as she said weakly, eyes beginning to tear up to Professor Holden. "No, I'm not okay Sir. I'm soaked in smelly swamp water from head to toe, and someone left me a snake in a basket on the train." She gestured then to the snake that Professor Holden already must have taken notice of, right?
