Because if that DID really happen then he was in just the right school.
Iris grinned.
"Ahh well. Don't believe me then." She looked up to the staff table, and it looked like the Headmaster guy was ready to speak.
"Yes, it DID actually happen. Kinda. Like, last year ... there was all this stuff that went on ... All the proffessors wants kept going missing, and this anti-werewolf group was formed in the students ... but all the students were under some kind of spell - they didn't know what they were doing, they didn't know that they were trying to harm the two Werewolves that were in the school." Iris looked to the staff table sadly,
"However, there is only one werewolf in the school this time... It's a shame. Headmaster Bontecou was awesome." Iris looked back to Jimbo, to see how he was reacting to this.
"And apparently, two Hufflepuffs got murdered ... I don't know who by or how, but I think it all got sorted out."
Iris looked up and down the width of the Slytherin table. Cartwright was here, so was Lucia... Wesley and Satine were probably at their tables ... But no Aaron ... Where is he?
"You see that pretty blonde lady at the end of the table? She's called Professor Lupa. She's our head of house, and she's the other werewolf. Don't worry about her too much though. She watches out for our safety, possibly more than her own, during the full moons." Nice and cheerful news to learn on your first day at Hogwarts. That's always fun.

Honestly, who expected that HE, JULIAN DOMINIC KADE, the Juvenile Delinquent, Man who chiseled his name into the Hooligan Hole, WOULD get to TALK REALLY LOUDLY at the Opening Feast???
COOL!
JD stood up, no that's not tall enough, JD climbed up on his chair.
"AAAAAAAA-CCCCHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
And sneezed.
Whoops.
"Yeah well, hello all, now that I have your attention, shut your Pie-Holes, if you ever want the pie to materialize on this fancy dinnerware." Confident that he had made his impression, he got down
"See if you can improve on that," he muttered to the Headmaster (heh Headmaster Casey,) retaking his seat.

"Good day, Hogwarts students." That was a very promising start right there. "You may have noticed that I am a new face here at Hogwarts. In fact, you probably have noticed a number of new faces. Such is life, que sera sera, and all that. My name is Gaellen Tate, and I am the Headmaster."
He should probably introduce the new professors.
He didn't know the new professors.
"And here..." he gestured wildly to the table. "Here we have our returning staff, who are eager to help you settle back into your routines, and your new professors, who will require your patience and good will. Feel free to drop by their offices any time you seek council, just as I encourage you to drop by mine." Oh. But don't visit Thomas, because he probably bites... could he say that?
Probably not.
"So... anyway. Welcome back, and welcome for the first time to all the little firsties. I know we had a hard time of it last year, but chin up and steel your spine for another good year. They can't all be cake walks, can they? I sincerely doubt anyone will die this year, so that's already a silver lining. And perhaps you'll actually learn something. I occasionally did."
Chipper enough? What was he talking about?
"Can we eat yet?"
And the food appeared.
Iris looked up at the table as someone SNEEZED rather loudly. She saw one of the new teachers stood on a chair. She listened to him talk and couldn't help but laugh at how he'd addressed them. Seriously. Iris Beaumont DID NOT have a "Pie-Hole". That was a preposterous thought.
She looked at the Headmaster dude got up. Tate. Headmaster Tate. She'd have to remember that. He'd obviously gotten the other guy to shut them up, Obviously not a very good headmaster. Can't even make his own school shut up? Pathetic. She half heartedly listened to him talk, and the grinned at Jimbo as all the food appeared.
"Heeeyyyy Jimbo, you can eat now." She said, as all of the food appeared. She was used to this now, but She was pretty sure that Jimbo didn't have materialising food at home. She piled some pizza and chips on to her plate. Not the healthiest of choices, but it tasted niiiice.
Nonomonommnon.

Iris looked up, to see a scary professor looking person looking at her from over Jimbo's shoulder, She stared at him for a minute, slightly shocked at his random appearance at the table, before squeaking,
"Um ... Hello ... Professor. Is ... Um ... Everything ... OK?" Why was he staring at her like she was not worthy of being sat at the Slytherin table?
