"In other words, I'm a new addition to the staff. I'm guessing you are, too?" If Maidee hadn't known that Gabriella was new, chances are that meant she, too, was a new addition.
Maidee nodded, "Yes, I came in a couple weeks ago to set up my office. I just love being in the tower. I can look right out my window and see the sky. Perfect for gazing when it's too cold to be outside." She giggled then gave her new colleague a weird look, "Do you always eat with spoons?"

Beady brown eyes lingered briefly on the 'headmaster' who happened to look young enough to be her grandson.
OH, and lookit all the kiddies!!
Milly clapped yet again, this time accompanied by a shriekish giggle.
She was as EXCITED as a pig in mud.
Oh goodness! Someone else excited to be here at Hogwarts! Maidee glanced down at the woman who was older than she was certainly acting! She got a glimpse at the future, though Maidee was no diviner she could certainly see herself like this old woman when she was older.
After Gabriella introduced herself, Maidee spoke up, "and I am Maidee McFarlane, and I must say, I certainly am glad I am not the only one unable to contain my excitement on this day!"
