Default The Staff Table

Welcome new and returning Staff! The staff table sits upon a dais at the front of the great hall, overlooking the four house tables.

you live your life just once, so don't forget about a thing called love.

Constantine whistled a gentle tune as he walked down the middle of the Great Hall and towards the Staff Table. He had just finished planting the last of the flowers into his little flower bed on the side of his house. And just before that, he had given Roma a bath, in which 3/4 of the water somehow managed to get on him.

Freshly showered and robed, Constantine was ready for this term to start. He took a seat in a chair somewhere around the middle of the table, resting his elbows onto the table and relaxed. No point eating alone.

Determined to be considered a grown up. Determined not to be mistaken for a student, Caroline had put more effort into her Opening Feast Look than anyone would ever know.

Because she would never tell.

But she thought it was worth it. A far cry from the sundress she had introduced herself to most of the staff in, she wore her dove grey dress robes and a well coordinated pair of shoes. Her usual dark, wildly curly hair was smoothed flat to be pulled into a soft french roll at the nape of her neck.

The only part of her attire that was remaining from the staff meeting was her rose beryl pendant, but it was rare that she ever took that off.

Taking a deep breath and marching up to the dias, she assured herself that she looked like a grown up, and she was meant to be here. Hadn't she passed her Certifications? Didn't she know her business?

The only person she saw at the table yet was the Groundskeeper. and she couldn't for the life of her remember his name.

Oh dear.

Courage Caroline.
She told herself, straigtening her shoulders, Courage.

Stepping up to the table she took a seat near him. "Good evening," she said, forcing calm into her voice. "I'm sorry, I've forgotten your name already."

Well honesty is the best policy right?

Constantine watched as that new Healer woman walked up to the Dias. He remembered saying that he had liked her, she seemed to have a brain...

Okay, perhaps she was lacking a touch.

Snickering, he turned his attention from her to the crowd of students. "And here I was...feeling bad as I seem to have conveniently forgotten yours. What a shame...what a shame...Masterson," he finally said. "Constantine Masterson." He extended his hand out to her for her to shake.

"Oh good!" Cari exclaimed with a relieved sigh. And then she paused and thought about how strange that must have sounded.

She back peddled, "Okay, well not good that you forgot my name and felt bad, exactly, but good we both forgot each other's names? Or something like that."

Shut up Cari...

She sheepishly took his hand and shook it, "Caroline Avalon."

"He sounds like a wizard 007" Less said coming in dressed in yellow. She was positively radiant... her skin was flawless, her smile sure and determined. "Mr. Masterson... very suave... very suave." She said sitting on one side of Carrie and putting her purse on the chair on her other side. "Hello, I'm Alessia Lupa, Ancient Runes. Pleasure."

So this was the great hall, it was...impressive!! Marcus had to admit that, he looked up at the ceiling and nodded at the enchanted ceiling. Seems they went all out in this place. He let his eyes scan the hall for a moment over all the students already sitting at their tables. Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin, he would have to remember that.

So where exactly was he supposed to sit? He turned his head to the left and spotted a table up on a dais and noted Caroline first and then the groundskeeper and he wasn't too sure who the other woman was. She hadn't been at the staff meeting surely. He would have noticed her, he was sure of it.

Sauntering casually up to the table he gave the groundskeeper a polite nod and promptly sat himself down in the vacant chair beside Caroline. "Good evening Miss Avalon, it's good to see you again." Marcus leaned forward ever so slightly so that he could get a good look at the woman on the other side. "I don't think we have met, Miss...?"

The woman looked SO much better than when Cari had last seen her, it was like she was an entirely different person.

She smiled at the Runes Professor, only totally slight taken aback by her forwardness. "Hello... what should I call you? Professor? Or by your given name?" Some people really seemed to be uppity about being called by their titles, she couldn't tell if Alessia Lupa was one of them, but then she wasn't spectacular at reading people either. Books. Not people. "Anyways," She continued, "I'm Caroline Avalon. You can call me Caroline if you want. Cari is okay too." Most of the people Caroline was friendly with (even though that wasn't a great many people) called her Cari at some point. An obvious exception to this rule was her Great-Grandmother, who hated the little nickname and refused to use it.


Oh! And Marcus was there! She knew him, well sort of. If you count crashing into him in a street and nearly making an enemy out of him. They got along much better since they had spent time working it out over ice cream though. He certainly was much more friendly to her now.

"Hello Marcus!" Cari greeted happily. "How do you like the Great Hall?"

Another term, another feast and another dramatic entrance for Anastasia Bunbury.

The redheaded professor threw open the doors to the Great Hall and paused in the entrance, taking her sweet time to walk in as she perused the tables from behind her sunglasses. She let her gaze drift across all four tables before slowly turning her head to the staff table to see who else was here. She nodded once to herself and then proceeded to march across the Hall, shoes click-clacking on the floor as her Prada bag bounced with each step.

She marched up toward the first face she saw, that familar smug mug of Marcus Lawson. Bunbury was in quite a mood tonight, and the name of the game was torture. He would be a good subject to start with.

Annie slipped into the empty seat next to the DADA professor and carelessly tossed her Prada bag onto his lap. She waited a few seconds for the heavy bag to sink into him, not at all concerned about the purse's weight since that little tart of an intern was on his other side anyway. She took her time in smoothing out her creamy robes, folding her hands politely in front of her, eying the Hufflepuff table, eying the Gryffindor table, and wondering if the elves had cleaned her greenhouses yet, before turning toward the man with her bag.

"Goodness gracious, sir, I thought that seat was vacant!" Bunbunz gasped with such fake surprise that she could have won an Oscar. "Do forgive me for tossing my purse about with such abandon....terribly sorry about that...it does weigh a bit..."

She smirked her evil trademark smile and reached across him to slowwwly drag the bag off his lap. "Again, so sorry. I must not have recognized you or something...you are new here, right?" Ah, so much fun asking questions to which you already knew the answer.

Antonio walked towards the staff table, relieved that he wasn't the first person there. He hated being the first professor to show up, it was always best when other people were around for some reason. He was happy that a new term was starting, there had been a tragic event over the course of the summer, something which he would never forget as long as he lived, and all he could hope so that things would be better this term. Things were different now, not only did he have his daughter back, but his wife had been rescued and reunited with the family as well. Surely things would be turning around for the best now.

"Greetings, everyone," Antonio said, nodding to new and old staff members alike. He was hungry and wanted to eat for a change, and it would probably be best to get his food finished before the Headmaster arrived and began his speech. He didn't want to be munching while he was talking, that would be a bit rude. Best to enjoy it while he could!

Antonio glanced around at the all the students. There were many he recognized from prior terms, but there were also lots of new faces. It should be a fun and interesting term, he really had a feeling great things were going to happen this year.

"Hello Marcus!" Cari greeted happily. "How do you like the Great Hall?"
"It is quite something else" he remarked, his eyes flicking over the hall once again. While he was used to wizarding schools, this one was the largest he had eve been to. "You know Caroline, you're probably going to have to show me around. You remember how lost I got in Diagon Alley?" Ah but if it weren't for that then he would never have run into Miss Avalon.

Marcus leaned back into his chair and stretched his legs out in front of him, may as well get comfortable seeing how they were probably going to be here for a while. "So you know I still owe you for not telling me that you would be working at Hogwarts" he gave a her a small smirk and let his eyes drift to the doors of the Great Hall.

Oh Mary Mother of Merlin it was the she devil herself. Axe kept his face blank as he watched her make her entrance and he stifled a snort. Wasn't he supposed to be the one making the entrance? Being the rock star and all and she had been just a mere groupie. Oh if only the kiddies knew that little piece of information.

He kept his face impassive as she decided on the seat right beside his but he was cringing inwardly. Bloody woman!!! He gave a silent oompf when she dumped her bag into his lap and still he said nothing. Axe, was if nothing but patient and she would get hers in due time, when she least expected it.

"Please no need to apologise, I guess I should have made myself more known. Perhaps if I was wearing stunning shades like yours then maybe I would have been a little more noticeable." He flashed her a smile, that clearly said 'you will have to do better than that'.

"Just a bit. But then I guess someone your age does need a lot of make up to cover those wrinkles." Axe gave her a wink and stretched his arms over his head. "Marcus Lawson, is the name Defense Against the Dark Arts. Some people call me Axe but only those who I consider close friends" he gave her a smirk and placed his hands behind his head. "And yes I am new, I guess you weren't paying attention in the staff meeting, you were to busy ogling Ethan Truebridge at the time." Oh touche Lawson!!!

Bunbury calmly smoothed a strand of hair behind her ear and set her bag on the floor by her chair, determined to keep it within reach in case she needed to whack Marcus across the back of his head later. Perhaps a heavy purse could obliviate just as well as a silly charm.

"I'm sorry you must not have the gold to finance such stunna shades as mine, grandpa," Anastasia replied through her teeth whilst managing to maintain her smirk. "You would think a rockstar named Axe would have learned a few things over time -- like how not to blow galleons gambling -- but I suppose you can't teach an olde dog new tricks.

She shrugged to herself and filled up her goblet with some sparkling water, continuing to play pretend like she really didn't know him and people who always met for the first time just happened to bicker like this.

Wrinkles. HMMPH. If I have wrinkles then he's probably saggier than an overwatered fern, that egomaniac rockhead. Annie's eyes narrowed considerably as she pushed her glasses up and then slowly shook her head.

"Funny how you seem to already know some people," her blue eyes darted to the Healer and back, "and yet you're already misjudging others." Okay well he knew her a little bit but since when had Axe been able to read people?! "I am Anastasia Bunbury, Herbology Professor. That means I deal with those dangerous and poisonous plants, in case you were wondering....we do try to grow some of the food served here right in my own greenhouses...."

Bunbunz took a long sip of her water then, just trying to cool down a little bit after his next comment. "And for the record, I do not ogle, Mr. Lawson." She stuck her nose up indignantly. "People ogle meeee...as I'm sure you know from personal experience."

"Oh I have enough finances thanks love. I just don't need shades to make me look good, it comes naturally you see." Axe turned his head slightly look at her, "But yeah I can see why you would need them." Oh Annie, was a riot he wondered how much longer it was going to take before she totally lost it and started to throw things at him.

He let out a raucous laugh at her, honestly the woman was unbelievable. "I know a nice person when I see them and also a horrible one. Some personalities just come right out and practically smack you in the face" he raised an eyebrow at her. "I do believe I know what Herbology is Miss Bunbury and I am quite surprised you haven't been eaten yet." Marcus glanced at his plate and then looked back at Annie and smiled. "Glad I already ate then."

Okay Axe, definitely had to laugh at that. "Yeah but there is a difference between having teenage boys and girls ogle you Annie, to adults doing it." He made a show of looking around the staff table and then back to her. "Seems you are lacking in that department, I can't see anyone looking your way." He stood up abruptly from the table and looked down at her, the only way Annie should be looked at. "I might go and acquaint myself with some of the students." Marcus leaned down and pressed his lips next to her ear. "Probably get a more stimulating conversation then the one I am getting now."

Marcus turned to Caroline and gave her a genuine smile. "I'll be back in a minute okay. And if she hassles you, then give her some of that Avalon attitude." He gave her shoulder a gentle squeeze and headed down to the student tables.

Cari grinned. "The school isn't THAT complicated," she said, cheerfully. This was an easy subject for her. It was about fact, very little social skill required. "You just have to watch out for the enchanted staircases, and the door on the second floor that leads mysteriously to the dungeons only on Wednesdays. I never did figure out why. And- okay maybe I will have to show you around."

Marcus did that stretching out thing... A lot. He was obviously far more comfortable in social situations than Caroline ever had been. "You owe me? I just neglected to divulge information, it's not like I let gnomes loose in your garden."

Oh something was going on there. The bag drop must have hurt. SHe winced for him. But he gave back. She might not know much about social situations but she could tell they were pointedly "NOT fighting".

Cari was NOT getting involved. Not for all the gold in Gringotts. She bit her lip to keep a smile from forming. She focused on something else. Anything else. "Oh Axe is it? Do I get to call you that?" she asked. "And all this time, when you said unorthodox, I thought it meant you played the accordian, or maybe the harmonica."

Excuse me? What did I do? Caroline didn't miss the look. No she didn't.

Staying out of it. Staying out of it. Oh good she's just the Herbology Professor. Could be worse. She COULD be the Head Nurse.

Cari snorted. Yeah sure she didn't Ogle. She totally did. Or she needed Ethan's attention like it was oxygen. "Just who ogles you?" Cari asked before thinking.

So much for staying out of it. It's just that no one had been ogling her at the meeting, so what was she basing this claim on. Cite your source.

Oh Annie, was a riot he wondered how much longer it was going to take before she totally lost it and started to throw things at him.

He let out a raucous laugh at her, honestly the woman was unbelievable. "I know a nice person when I see them and also a horrible one. Some personalities just come right out and practically smack you in the face" he raised an eyebrow at her. "I do believe I know what Herbology is Miss Bunbury and I am quite surprised you haven't been eaten yet." Marcus glanced at his plate and then looked back at Annie and smiled. "Glad I already ate then."

Okay Axe, definitely had to laugh at that. "Yeah but there is a difference between having teenage boys and girls ogle you Annie, to adults doing it." He made a show of looking around the staff table and then back to her. "Seems you are lacking in that department, I can't see anyone looking your way." He stood up abruptly from the table and looked down at her, the only way Annie should be looked at. "I might go and acquaint myself with some of the students." Marcus leaned down and pressed his lips next to her ear. "Probably get a more stimulating conversation then the one I am getting now."

Marcus turned to Caroline and gave her a genuine smile. "I'll be back in a minute okay. And if she hassles you, then give her some of that Avalon attitude." He gave her shoulder a gentle squeeze and headed down to the student tables.
"Oh yes, it comes soooo naturally you just have little girls ten years younger fawning over you." Anastasia put a hand to her chest like she too was dazzled by the Axe, when really she was of course referring to the girl sitting on his other side. "Remember, Axe, this school is full of innocent students all too young to remember your wild side."

She smiked again and turned back to the front of the table, determined to ignore his ridiculous laughter. Bunbury was no comedian, what gave him the right to laugh like that?! "Surprised?" Her folded hands slowly turned into fists as she dug her nails into her palms. "You have no idea what surprises are in store for you yet, Marcus Lawson..."

And she was going to leave it at that. "Perhaps you could have your little Healer girlfriend check your eyesight while you're at it," Annie commented coolly and quietly, not even watching him leave. "Go play with the students now, they're at your level of intelligence anyway."

Anastasia was going to need something stronger than just a glass of cold water after the feast was over. Yes indeed, she was already looking forward to relaxing in the little space behind her bookshelf, perhaps with a copy of the Daily Prophet and a strong brew of tea....specialt...

"I. Beg. Your. Pardon?" The redhead slowly turned her icy blue eyes on that TART that dared to speak to her. "Was I addressing you?" She wasn't even going to acknowledge her question with an answer, especially not when the woman proved Annie's point. See, she had been ogling Bunbury or else she wouldn't have overheard her conversation with Marcus. Ha HA!

Ian lumbered into the Great Hall seemingly larger than he appeared in the previous year. His wife had spoiled him far too much over the summer holiday...and had also not allowed him to ride his broom. He clomped down into his seat (almost breaking it, mind you) and immediately looked around the room to survey his surroundings. It seemed a few of the professors were there...and he honestly couldn't remember any of the returning students. His memory was fading. If there was one thing Ian was not, it was an elephant. At least, in the memory department.

"Anyone know when the food's coming?" he asked.

Following soon after Professor Ashby into the Great Hall was Professor Kapoor...and his moustache. Which at this moment, appeared to be longer than last term, and not to mention, eccentrically groomed so that the very tips of it tapered off into gradually thinning curlies.

"Good evening, Professor Ashby...everyone." He said with a convivial nod in their directions and avoiding with all his might following up with 'and what do you think of my new moustache?'.

Just then, he heard the familiar shreiks of the one that brought him the puffapod, the one that fought ferociously in the corridor...Professor Bunbury! And he winced at the last comment she spat from her mouth, though he could not make out what exactly she was saying to the new healer for the hospital wing.

"David, my friend!" Ian exclaimed, clasping his hand onto the man's back. Little to David's knowledge, Ian had magicked a sign onto his hand that read "Kick Me." The sign now hung proudly from the Divination professor's back.

"How are you? I see you've let your moustache grow this summer. It looks so very saloonish. Do you mind if we have a friendly quick-draw duel later in the dueling arena?" He chuckled, unsure if anyone had caught his lame joke (he had been out of practice for a good 2-3 months) and turned his head toward the commotion. "My, my. We sure do have some high-pitched women on staff, don't we? Do you think we could perhaps use them as sopranos in the a capella group I am thinking of forming?"

She had seen the man before, at the Staff Meeting... He hadn't seen her under her hood, (she'd have to talk to Pepe about not holding his meetings the day after a full moon.) He was the man who took over Papa Valon's place as DADA Professor... it wasn't his fault, so she wasn't going to hold it against him. "I'm Alessia Lupa, Ancient Runes... You may call me Less."

Some people really seemed to be uppity about being called by their titles, she couldn't tell if Alessia Lupa was one of them, but then she wasn't spectacular at reading people either. Books. Not people. "Anyways," She continued, "I'm Caroline Avalon. You can call me Caroline if you want. Cari is okay too." Most of the people Caroline was friendly with (even though that wasn't a great many people) called her Cari at some point. An obvious exception to this rule was her Great-Grandmother, who hated the little nickname and refused to use it.

Oh! And Marcus was there! She knew him, well sort of. If you count crashing into him in a street and nearly making an enemy out of him. They got along much better since they had spent time working it out over ice cream though. He certainly was much more friendly to her now.

"Hello Marcus!" Cari greeted happily. "How do you like the Great Hall?"
"Less," Alessia said and as she was about to ask her if she was related to little Tobi Avalon, she noticed the girl had already met the DADA Professor...

He didn't want to be munching while he was talking, that would be a bit rude. Best to enjoy it while he could!
"Hello Tony," Alessia said with a smile. "I trust you had a nice summer?"

She smirked her evil trademark smile and reached across him to slowwwly drag the bag off his lap. "Again, so sorry. I must not have recognized you or something...you are new here, right?" Ah, so much fun asking questions to which you already knew the answer.

"Just a bit. But then I guess someone your age does need a lot of make up to cover those wrinkles." Axe gave her a wink and stretched his arms over his head. "Marcus Lawson, is the name Defense Against the Dark Arts. Some people call me Axe but only those who I consider close friends" he gave her a smirk and placed his hands behind his head. "And yes I am new, I guess you weren't paying attention in the staff meeting, you were to busy ogling Ethan Truebridge at the time." Oh touche Lawson!!!

"You would think a rockstar named Axe would have learned a few things over time -- like how not to blow galleons gambling -- but I suppose you can't teach an olde dog new tricks.

"Funny how you seem to already know some people," her blue eyes darted to the Healer and back, "and yet you're already misjudging others." Okay well he knew her a little bit but since when had Axe been able to read people?! "I am Anastasia Bunbury, Herbology Professor. That means I deal with those dangerous and poisonous plants, in case you were wondering....we do try to grow some of the food served here right in my own greenhouses...."

Bunbunz took a long sip of her water then, just trying to cool down a little bit after his next comment. "And for the record, I do not ogle, Mr. Lawson." She stuck her nose up indignantly. "People ogle meeee...as I'm sure you know from personal experience."

And- okay maybe I will have to show you around."

Marcus did that stretching out thing... A lot. He was obviously far more comfortable in social situations than Caroline ever had been. "You owe me? I just neglected to divulge information, it's not like I let gnomes loose in your garden."


Cari snorted. Yeah sure she didn't Ogle. She totally did. Or she needed Ethan's attention like it was oxygen. "Just who ogles you?" Cari asked before thinking.[/COLOR]

Alessia's eyes were very expressive of her fear of saying anything. That bunny woman was angry for some reason at the new DADA Professor... had they had a relationship? Had she been dumped by him? Probably... But why did the new Nurse have to get yelled at.

None of Less' business though.

She smiled at the round man who came over taking her attention away from the love birds. She wanted to throw her arms around his neck and scream 'MY SAVIOR,' but she didn't... . "Mr. Ashby, pleasure to see you again..." She looked at the table and said "Usually the food comes after the headmaster's speech... but it may be different this year."

"Professor Kapoor." She said smiling at the older man... and the comedic dynamic duo was complete, "Your mustache is very becoming, Sir. Very distinguished."

"Hello Alessia, and thank you. My summer started out a bit rough but ended up great," Antonio said. He smiled, actually when he thought about it, many wonderful things had happened during this past break, things he never would have dreamed possible, and all because of two brave little boys. "And how was your summer?"

Taking a deep breath, Professor Morgan stepped through the large double doors of the Great Hall. A smile immediately met her face as she looked over all of the happy, boisterous students gathered around their tables. The summer here had been far too quiet and she welcomed the noise thankfully. Making her way up to the staff table, Iliana's long silver robes shimmered faintly as with their own light. She nodded a smallish greeting to each professor that caught her eye and stopped next to the purse-filled chair beside Less. "I take it this seat is being saved for me." She said, smiling brightly. She picked the purse up, placing it on the floor next to her best friend and planted herself in the now empty place at the table. "Thank you. I was worried I'd have nowhere to sit at all." She said, winking at Less. "Have I missed anything?"

Spotting Dumont nearby, Iliana leaned forward and said. "Good evening, Professor." She wanted to assure him, that unlike last time, this feast wouldn't end with her knocking him to the ground. But this was Hogwarts... There simply were no guarantees. Instead she gave him a smile. "Its good to see you."

Cari choked on her oxygen. Yes, on her oxygen. Be careful with it. Dangerous when taken internally. Well, in certain circumstances.

"He- .... I mean I - I mean - " AM NOT!!! And she certainly hadn't been fawning over Marcus. Or Axe. Or Professor Lawson. Or whatever. OR ANYONE!!!

She'd have traded anything to be good at handling situations like this. But Cari had never been good at holding her own socially. If a peer insulted her or started a rumour, all she could do was make the fish face of disbelief/denial that was currently taking over her features. It was particularly difficult for her to hold her own against other women.

"Well no, not specifically," Cari replied uneasily. It was just an innocent question. Honestly. Who was ogling this scary woman? Maybe someone who liked extreme sports? "I was just curious, I thought I might as well ask. Especially seeing as the object of your wrath has left. Did you want to continue punishing me for whatever he did?"



Social FAIL! There were people everywhere now. The addled man from the staff meeting, and his rather... robust friend. And Caroline was rather afraid that the new head of Gryffindor had been privvy to everything that had transpired between her and... Anastasia Bunbury? Wasn't she the one Tobi had gotten into so much trouble with last year?

Oh and there was Iliana Morgan. She was nice enough.

Deep breath Cari, and reset.

"Um... Hi everyone?" She greeted tentatively. "Are we the early crowd?" You are such a dork.

"That's wonderful, Tony. How is your wife? I trust she is well? It is too bad we don't get to meet the staff's families unless we are roaming Diagon Alley." Professor Dumont always seemed like a nice man.

"Silly Ili... of course it is your seat. Who else would I be saving a seat for... especially when I need to know how your evening went..." Alessia said trying to look innocent. She wouldn't say more than that. Not at the table anyway. "What didn't you miss..." she said under her breath, reaching for a glass of water, determined not to look at the Bunnywoman, the new Ax-Man and the poor new nurse.

Alessia looked at Dumont and then back at Ili... then back at Dumont again. She called him Professor... now Less wasn't on close terms with Dumont, but she felt comfortable calling him Tony... maybe Ili just didn't know him that well... Oh No! Maybe Less SHOULDN'T be calling him Tony... It's not like he called her Less, and after all they were under a spell when she picked up the nickname. "I'm sorry for my informal-ness, I hope you aren't put out with me. Is it... alright... for me to address you as... Tony?"

"Good evening, Professors Ashby, Kapoor, Dumont....Morgan," Anastasia greeted the incoming staff members each with a nod. She was NOT going to say a word to that scary-looking Lupa, even if the woman had managed to brush her hair since the staff meeting.

Annie folded her hands in front of her once again, admiring Kapoorkitty's mustache from afar. At least his facial hair was better groomed than Ashby's eyebrows...that poor sap was in serious need of a salon consultant. Perhaps she could recommend Sergio to him, if he was ever in Milan.

If a peer insulted her or started a rumour, all she could do was make the fish face of disbelief/denial that was currently taking over her features. It was particularly difficult for her to hold her own against other women.

"Well no, not specifically," Cari replied uneasily. It was just an innocent question. Honestly. Who was ogling this scary woman? Maybe someone who liked extreme sports? "I was just curious, I thought I might as well ask. Especially seeing as the object of your wrath has left. Did you want to continue punishing me for whatever he did?"
With more staff here now, Anastasia certainly had more distractions to keep her mind off of plotting extreme, evil, and undetectable deaths for Marcus Lawson. She didn't spot several important staff members, still, nor the Headmaster.

But all was well until that wannabe Healer spoke up again, and she was stuttering nonetheless. "Curiosity killed the intern," Bunbury replied calmly, in almost a singsong tone. "And was that an invitation or are you granting me permission, Miss AVALON."

Oh yes, she hadn't missed the girl's surname. No sireeeebob Annie would be quite comfortable with punishing one of Tobi's relatives/Marcus' little girl friend for any and all injustices that had happened to her. As a matter of fact, she would relish annoying this woman, with great pleasure. Too bad she would probably be better at detecting Veritaserum and other poisons than her brother was....

Forrester arrived at the feast and took his usual seat. He appeared to have missed some excitement as Gryffindor was already in the negative points, better them than Slytherin of course, and it seemed that there was some tension at the table. He sighed, the fun had already started. Couldn't they, just once, have a quite term amongst the staff?
