Sophie looked up at the sound of another voice, her eyes fell upon another women who looked close to her ages, maybe a little older. . "No, go ahead!" She said, giving her a warm smile. "I'm Sophie Brooks, the Care of Magical Creatures Professor." Sophie said aloud, to the other ladies starting to take their places at the table.
"Care of Magical Creatures? Wow! That's a fascinating subject, one you don't see many witches teach anymore. Very impressive. And you still have all your limbs I see, you must be very talented." Callie laughed. "I'll have to stop by your class one day and watch . . . from a distance of course. I'm not one for getting too close to Magical Creatures, I've ummm... never had much luck with them. I was once bitten by an angry hippogriff, let me tell you . . . after I hexed that thing it never bit anyone again." Callie blushed, realizing she had probably shared a bit too much. "But that was a long time ago. I'm much more disciplined now. I hardly ever use hexes, unless they're really needed..... well hardly ever." Callie began to trail off, smirking at the thought of herself hexing a student she might lose patience with. "I guess I'll have to work on that bit" Callie thought to herself, realizing she was going to have to be a lot more patient with these students then she normally was, she couldn't imagine the Headmistress would be too happy with her if she hexed a student. Then again, this wasn't Hogwarts, perhaps a little hex wouldn't hurt...."

Terpsi Core... erm Miss St. Toussaint." Callie could feel her cheeks burning as she stumbled over the woman's name. "I'm Calista. Calista Hawkins, but please call me Callie. I'll be teaching the girls Charms classes this term. Is this your first time teaching, as well?"

Her robes were immaculate which was very surprising as she seemed the type for finger painting and she wore a lapel pin bearing the Slytherin coat of arms.
She beamed up at everyone at the staff table and then walked along the front of it, holding out her plate of cookies. "Sophie Melita, new potions professor. Well, not really new as I've taught potions at Hogwarts before but, new to Belle's School of course," she giggled. "So nice to meet you. Have a cookie? I bake them fresh every day, you know. Now don't go asking me for my secret ingredient."
"Oh! A student! How are you dear? Doing okay? Here, have a cookie," she beamed at the student who was making a ruckus, not that Melita noticed.
"Why thank you very much. Callie smile as she reached out to take a cookie. I'm Calista Hawkins, the new Charms Professor. Please, call me Callie. So I can't go asking about the secret ingredients? It is safe to eat I hope," Callie asked with a wide grin.

Callie caught a glimpse of a napkin waving in the air from the corner of her eye, as a fellow Professor began to complain about a student stinking. "And the drama begins . . . " Callie laughed to herself. "Perhaps I should stop by her office and teach her a little charm to help her with that sensitivity of smell she seems to be having trouble with." Callie said to herself as she shook her head at the woman.
