 Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - ❄ Lunar Library Lurker ❄ - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror
Seems the Slytherin House was getting super excited for whatever reason and Hady was on it. He would have told her she had nothing to be super sorry for, it didn’t seem too worrisome, but the snake head f house was already gone. His dark eyes flickered to the Ravenclaw table instead to make sure his own charges had become embroiled in the drama as well, relieved that it looked well enough. Catching the nod of acknowledgement Sarika was giving him from the seat beside him as he focused back on his fellow staff, he offered the woman a polite smile and nod of his own to her and Dhruv at the other end as his colleague returned his greeting.
Thankfully Marcus caught the teasing the tone of the headmaster before he feel bad about his lateness. “That would hardly be setting a good example,” he mused with slightly raised eyebrow to echo the older man’s jesting. Not that it wasn’t true. The house would be looking at him now and he needed to be that example. But for now he was settling back into his chair to catch his breath. Before long there was the speech and Marcus listened with attention, clapping when needed. He looked back over to the Ravenclaws as he was introduced as head, inwardly hoping he wasn’t a disappointment.
And then it was over and the feast arrived. Having poured himself a drink, he was about to add a bit of food to his plate before having a second thought. “Excuse me,” he spoke to his neighbors as he pushed back his chair and got to his feet. Time to welcome his new students before tucking into his dinner.
