Quidditch can be a bit rough sometimes though." He'd been lucky last term. So did that mean he'd decided to try out? Hmm...
Gabriella was more than just a little surprised to hear the young man refer to her as
ma'am. So far, the four students she'd managed to meet had all seemed very polite and well-mannered. She wondered how long that would last before she managed to find herself right in the middle of the chaos of her very first school year---as a staff member, of course. She remembered her Hogwarts years all too well. They'd only been thirteen years ago. Not...
that far back. She extended her hand and shook the young man's in return.
"Yes, here's hoping you don't find yourself ill or injured. Oh, and good luck with quidditch." Quidditch---now that was something Gabriella really missed.

"You are our new Healer?" She was now totally drawn towards the lady, especially knowing that she, too, wanted to pursue the road towards being a healer herself. "OH! Healer Ashford, if you don't mind me saying...if you need anyyyyyyy help, I did help Melita last term." At what, she had no idea, but she was there to help. It made her feel proud to help out as much as she could there and questions...the girl had questions to ask, that was for sure.
"Maybe after the feast, we can chat." Fia placed on a big grinning smile, almost forgetting those who were around her...except for Miles of course.
"Mmhmm," Gabriella replied, gently pulling her hand away from the young man's and sitting up straight once again.
"I'm indeed the new Healer." She smiled at the girl's enthusiasm then studied her for a moment before speaking again. This one definitely desired to become a Healer, as well. Gabriella could see it all over her young face.
"I'd love to chat with your after the feast. My office is always open, even if you're not ill or injured." She smiled at the young girl, happy to be in the presence of someone so...bubbly. Or at least that was the impression Gabriella got.

Charms, Transfiguration and DADA were the priorities for her to work out, but she was just as interested in who was going to be teaching Astronomy.
Cela peeked at Fia as she mentioned helping Melita and made a face. "Healer Melita left a first year in charge of the hospital wing." She gave this new not-Caroline-Avalon healer an obviously upset look as she recalled not only her own time doing her best to help, but also her own experience as a patient. "It was kind of horrible."
There were four new faces so far, one the healer, one the headmaster... was he only the headmaster or did he teach? There were at least three subjects to replace, plus the whole thing with Professor Lawson going to a new subject and Cela hadn't seen Madame Kohan at the end of last term... so who was doing what? She was trying to figure it out already.
Gabriella merely nodded, picking up on the sadness in the Ravenclaw girl's voice. Had something...
happened? She perked up and smiled again when the girl greeted her and welcomed her. If something
had happened, Gabriella assumed it had come and gone last school when she wasn't employed at the castle.
"Thank you, Miss Toussaint. I---." Whatever it was Gabriella had been about to say was abandoned when she heard mention of some eleven-year-old child running the Hospital Wing last school year. So Gabriella was...replacing...
an eleven-year-old? Surely there was more to the story than she was piecing together.
