Default Staff Table


by Victoria Bunbury (BanaBatGirl)


The staff are seated at a long table stretching across a dais at the front of the room. Feel free to come up and greet them after the feast has started.

The glittering night sky is clear and visible through the enchanted ceiling, and the floating candles bedeck the entire hall in a warm golden light. All seems well with the world, aside from the empty plates still waiting for food to appear.

Well... here he was. At the feast. In his chair. Staring at his plate. Waiting on the food to arrive. Starving. Distracted. Bored. Tired. Hungry.

Tapping his fingers on the table and jiggling his leg nervously to the same beat, William tried to ignore the strong sense of foreboding that was building in his stomach. His thoughts were clearly everywhere BUT here, but mostly they were on the small fire still burning out in his barn. A deliberate fire, to be sure, but one he hadn't left unattended for hours at a time since he'd gotten back to Hogwarts.

Tapping his fingers more loudly, Willy glanced down at his watch again and let out a small sigh. Were the firsties sorted yet???

The Feast was finally here!

Callie had arrived at the Castle only a few days ago but hadn't really socialized with many of her collegues, any really, and had pretty much been up in the Divination Tower trying to pile all of her things into the office and classroom that looked to have been vacated for a few years. Walking up to the Staff Table that was situated on the raised dias, the new Divination Professor felt a little awkward that she seemed to be pretty early.

Not many students had arrived yet and there was only one other adult. She immediately recognized him from their meeting in the Magical Menagerie over the summer.

"Hello there. Looks like we are going to be meal neighbors." She said with a small grin as she plopped down into her seat just two away from his. He seemed distracted. She fidgeted with the strap of her dress and began to tap a sandel on the ground below the table.

"So I didn't happen to catch your name the other day." It was strange she had introduced herself but the man seemed to have been to distracted to do her the pleasure. "Unless your parents named you Care of Magical Creatures?"

Smirk.

Snapping out of her daydream as students started to fill the hall, Seren glanced down the long table at her colleagues... those of whom where there at least. Noticing a new face, Seren offered her as welcoming a smile as she could muster from her end of the table. Honestly! Why did it have to be so long! Pouring herself a goblet of pumpkin juice, she sat patiently and waited for the sorting to begin. Seren was curious to see how many young lions she would be welcoming to her pride this school year.

Sipping from her goblet, she continued to observe the students from her seat, a careful eye scanning over the Gryffindor table on the lookout for mischief.

"Williamson looks like he has places he'd rather be," Headmaster Gaellen Tate observed to his neighbors... or to Bentley, as she was the one nearest and most bored and therefore most likely to respond to his witty observations.

"Summer agree with you, Bentley?"

Tearing his eyes away from counting the visible torn threads in the tablecloth, William looked up at a somewhat familiar voice. He found himself staring at two rather bright blue eyes. Oh! It was that hippy, the one from the pet store! Well well, she sure looked nicer here than she had at the Magical Menagerie.

Then again, she was wearing... feathers??

"Ca....lista, right?" He tried to smile but his face seemed too sunburned tanned to move. "I wish my parents had named me after my subject. It would have been better than being the one and only William Walter Williamson."

Sigh. Speaking of names, William waved a hand up high in the air, certain that Bentley would see it, and gave her a visual greeting.

"That's Seren Bentley, Herbology," he offered to Callie, since they were... meal-mates and all. Or whatever.

Olly and Waylon needed to come entertain him already.

Tearing her eyes from her lions, hoping they wouldn't start misbehaving, Seren laughed under her breath. "Perhaps he needs some positive reinforcement?" Getting a man to sit still for long enough was usually as difficult as attemtping to domesticate a dragon. Willy didn't seem the type to enjoy sitting if it didn't serve a prupose... like his stomach.

"It did indeed, and yourself? I trust you made the most of the break."

While Calista had been fixing her dress she noticed some movement to her left from the corner of her eye and turned to look at who it might have been. A tad suprised to see the Headmaster, having only seen him the one time when he had hired her, Callie pulled a stray feather from her dress and pushed it into the floor nervoulsy.

"Evening Headmaster."

What else did she say? Thanks for hiring me? The Great Hall looks nice? Pretty castle?

He remembered her name? Well that was good for a man she guessed but really it had only been a few days and who didn't remember a blonde as pretty as she was? Seriously though?

"That's me." She nodded slightly as he mentioned wanting to be named something to do with creatures but Callie wasn't so sure that would be a good thing. They had some weird names. "Oh, three 'W's?" That was definately strange. "Well, it's nice to, not meet you, we've done that already! Nice to learn your name William!"

And more dress patting and arranging. "Shoot! I seem to be molting all over the place." she said frowning at the small colorful feathers that had begun to fall from her dress.

After having the Herboloy professor pointed out to her, Calista noticed her wave. Ah...she liked plants too.

With a quick wave to the woman and a smile Callie began to toy with the notion of going over and talking to her. She seemed to be the type of person she would get along with nicely. She dressed nice, no feather but still nice, and was BLONDE too.

Perhaps once she met her other neighbor.

Medea sincerely hoped that being late wasn't going to become a thing for her, for she couldn't help the tinge of red on her cheeks as she tried to make her way up to the staff table unnoticed. Most of the students that were seated seemed to be enjoying themselves with chatter amongst their friends anyhow, thank goodness.

Arriving at the staff table, she nodded to a few of the Professors she passed, including the Headmaster, and noted just who she would be sitting next to. Oh of course! The new Divination professor. "Calista." Medea greeted with a smile as she sat down comfortably in her own seat. "Nice seeing you again."

"Yeah.... WWW .... W-Cubed, Willy, Will... that's all stuff people call me...." William nodded. "Nice to meet you too."

He eyed her dress and made sure to close his mouth in case some feathers flew in. You just never knew. Never. "I uh... well I have to ask," as the Care of Magical Creatures teacher, naturally, "are those REAL feathers?" Some looked to be REAL PEACOCK FEATHERS to him, anyway.

Oh, there was Callie's other 'meal mate,' William thought to himself with a smirk. Maybe she would stop talking to him now and he could go back to sulking and thinking about his baby out in the barn now.

"Hi Medea," he added belatedly to the Defense professor, again attempting a failed smile. Oh whatever. Just because he'd been hanging out in a lot of fireplaces lately...

Oh. Callie had almost forgotten that the empty chair she had had her hand resting on as she spoke to William was supposed to have a body in it and that somebody had now arrived.

Pulling her hand back to her lap and then using it to take a drink of water from her goblet, Callie's eyes went blank for a moment as she starred into the crowd of students. She was pulled out of her train of thought as the newcomer spoke to her, the woman from the store the same day she had met William.

"Good evening..."
She hadn't caught her name EITHER. What in Merlin's beard had happened at this meeting if they hadn't even exchanged names properly? "I'm sorry I didn't hear your name back at the Menagerie but it's great seeing you too. We get to be feast and meal next-door neighbors." She said in her American accent, ending with a giggle.

"There are alot of students here, huh?" She said gesturing towards the four long tables before them, her many bracelets jingling some more. She hadn't expected there to be so many...and they were all dressed the same! How was she going to tell them apart?!

Nicknames? "Well I think I will stick with William, or Willy. You can call me Callie if you'd like." They were friends now right? She would say they were--she hadn't sensed anything wrong with his auora yet, he was just distracted it seemed.

Oh he had taken notice of her dress, well how kind of him. "Yes, there are a few of them on here." she said in response to the question of the peacock feathers. "And of course they are real, do they make fake ones?"

That seemed silly.

"I would think that not being fired was pretty positive. Having a job. Having free food and a place to sleep. All positive. What else would he want?" Tate was only kidding. Mostly. Mostly only kidding.

But summer queries had him doing something that Tate had always thought he would never ever do... he yanked a short stack of photographs from his pocket and leaaaaaaned down the table to show Seren. "Today is my daughter Geneva's nine month birthday." He'd spent the entire summer just being an at-home type person, and while it made him stir crazy, he hadn't missed a single thing.

Seren wasn't quite sure what to make of Tate's next comment. Was he serious? Surely he wasn't... but with Tate, anything was possible. She really ought to practice reading people. Instead of answering Tate's, no doubt rhetorical, question, she took another quick sip of her juice.

Though she had indeed enquired about Tate's summer, Seren expected a brief comment for the sake of pleasantries, but she was surprised by the development. Pleasantly surprised even. Photographs! "Oh that's so lovely, I'm sorry you have to miss it." She looked over the photographs in the Headmasters hands. She often forgot that her colleagues had families so it came as a small surprise to see family photographs. "She's absolutely precious, you must be so proud."
This had to be the most intimate conversation she'd had with the Headmaster since her appointment. It was a good thing right? Seeing his sentimental side.

Oh?

"Oh, forgive me." she chuckled quietly. "Medea. Medea Romanos." She already knew what subject she taught, but goodness, how could Medea forget to introduce herself properly? Really. It was a question that started to stump her. Nevertheless, it wasn't the end of the world.

And there were those bracelets again.

"Yea..." she agreed, a little distracted, but she came back to reality after a second or so. "Though you get used to it after awhile. You must tell me though, where you get your lovely bracelets from. I noticed them back at the Menagerie but didn't have time to ask."

As she was making herself comfortable, and after hearing her name, Medea leaned forward a little and looked past the divination professor to...William. He didn't quite look his usual prankster self. Not like the previous start of term feast that she'd witnessed, with that cheeky grin and whatnot. Or was that Oliver she was thinking of? "Hello Villiam." she smiled a little before her eyebrows knitted together in concern. Just a tad bit. A tad! "Are you alright?"

"Callie it is then," Will decided, reaching forward to fill up and pick up his water goblet. He took a drink and, mouth still full of water, and turned to look at her as she admitted that the dress she was wearing... was made of REAL feathers.

"SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOFFFFFSSSHHHHHH!" All of the water in William's mouth went promptly, directly onto Callie's dress. "REAL feathers?!" he exclaimed, clearly more in shock about what (or WHO, as all creatures had names to Willy) Callie was wearing rather than the fact that whatever (whomever) she was wearing was now soaking wet.

He could not believe her. "And I thought you LIKED creatures, Calista!" Willy continued in the same outraged, somewhat hurt tone. "I thought that perhaps you had a pet parrot or something, judging from the treats you were loitering around at the Magical Menagerie! I would have HOPED that a FELLOW ANIMAL LOVER would know better than to wear real FEATHERS to a FEAST!"

A feast where they could be eating roasted duck or boiled goose or baked turkey or fried chicken this very evening! TSK TSK TSK! Calista Elwood had certainly just committed a great fowl in William's book!

Oh, and he was, "Sorry about the water," he added after a long moment, still shaking his head as he tipped his chair back to talk to Medea. Really, though, she should have been lucky he didn't spit a mouthful of cherry slushy on her or something.

Hello Villiam. You know, William was liking Medea's accent more and more every time he heard it. Never mind that it was a happy distraction from the wet bird sitting next to him, but it also reminded him of Romania. And Romania was more of a home to him than Hogwarts was. Sometimes.

"Oh I'm doing okay, you know, I'm sure I'll be better once we have some food on the table though." He managed a REAL smile now that his face was all warmed up from shouting and doing a spittake and talking and all that. "How are you? Did you enjoy the rest of your summer?"

Kurumi knew it was still early in the evening, but seeing as there were four Gryffindor leaders at their table she felt confident in stepping away just for a brief moment to head to the staff table to deliver her cookies BECAUSE SHE HAD REMEMBERED THIS TIME! Or...so she had thought.

Clutching two boxes, Kurumi made her way to Headmaster Tate first and noticed him showing pictures of a baby which she overheard was his. She couldn't help but be reminded of her father, the way he was showing off his daughter. The Headmaster and him would probably get along - scary thought. "Good...evening Headmaster," Kurumi said as she bashfully pushed the box of oatmeal cookies towards him. See. She remembered! "Congratulations as well." On his new baby girl AND a Happy Birthday.

Kurumi's attention then fell on Professor Bentley and a jolt of guilt ran through the Gryffindor. Of all people, her own Head of House should have known of her situation. Although there were a few obvious changes about Kurumi's features that should be an indicator. "Good evening, Professor Bentley," Kurumi said with a polite bow. "Thank you for allowing me to continue on as prefect." She shuffled her feet for a moment before noticing that there was a new face at the table.

Deciding that she ought to set her other box of cookies down in front of the Headmaster as well, the one labeled "for staff," Kurumi did so and was blissfully unaware that there were not enough macaroons for everyone. The correct number having somehow slipped her memory while she had been baking.

"Professor Romanos, Professor Williamson, good evening," she said with a bow. She would be seeing both of them soon about various things. Professor Williamson needed to help her figure out Walnut's peeing problem and Professor Romanos to set up some more meditation lessons. They HAD been helping. "Welcome to Hogwarts. I'm Kurumi Hollingberry, one of the Gryffindor prefects.," Kurumi said with a polite bow towards the peacock the blonde professor and somehow managed to dodge the shower that had been Professor Williamson.

She then glanced back at her own table and figured that she shouldn't linger here for too much longer.

But summer queries had him doing something that Tate had always thought he would never ever do... he yanked a short stack of photographs from his pocket and leaaaaaaned down the table to show Seren. "Today is my daughter Geneva's nine month birthday." He'd spent the entire summer just being an at-home type person, and while it made him stir crazy, he hadn't missed a single thing.



Oh, hmm? Oh, hello, new blonde employee. Tate waved to her. Did she want to look at pictures too?

Though she had indeed enquired about Tate's summer, Seren expected a brief comment for the sake of pleasantries, but she was surprised by the development. Pleasantly surprised even. Photographs! "Oh that's so lovely, I'm sorry you have to miss it." She looked over the photographs in the Headmasters hands. She often forgot that her colleagues had families so it came as a small surprise to see family photographs. "She's absolutely precious, you must be so proud."
This had to be the most intimate conversation she'd had with the Headmaster since her appointment. It was a good thing right? Seeing his sentimental side.

Oh wasn't he just nice? The Headmaster hadn't acted too professional and had even sent a wave in her direction.

She would certainly have to ask him more about the Castle later, perhaps when they had--

"You have a baby? I love babies!" Callie squeaked slightly as she overheard the man talking with Seren, the Herbology lady, over the pictures of his daughter. She leaned over into the empty seat between her and the head man and looked at the little girl in the photographs. "She's very cute, congradulations!"

She sadly hadn't gotten to see many babies recently while working her cart around the Alley. No one wanted to bring them around for whatever reason, probably all the noise from the shoppers.

And there were those bracelets again.

"Yea..." she agreed, a little distracted, but she came back to reality after a second or so. "Though you get used to it after awhile. You must tell me though, where you get your lovely bracelets from. I noticed them back at the Menagerie but didn't have time to ask."




As she was making herself comfortable, and after hearing her name, Medea leaned forward a little and looked past the divination professor to...William. He didn't quite look his usual prankster self. Not like the previous start of term feast that she'd witnessed, with that cheeky grin and whatnot. Or was that Oliver she was thinking of? "Hello Villiam." she smiled a little before her eyebrows knitted together in concern. Just a tad bit. A tad! "Are you alright?"
"Medea, that's a lovely name. And your auora is very strong. Do you practice healing charms by chance?" The second question had seemed to come out of the blue but Callie couldn't help but notice something calming emitting from the Defense Professor, odd coming from someone who teach's violent subject matter.

Oh her bracelets? Her new friends were just so kind to appreciate her outfit tonight, first Willy looking at her dress and now this! "Oh thank you very much, I got a few of them in London, some from Edinburgh, and this one from my mother." she pointed at the least flashy of them all, the plain silver bangle.

And then there was the matter of the woman's accent. Where in the world did that come from? She would ask at a more approriate time. Yeah.

One minute she was answering the flattering question about her dress and the next she was being sprayed by Merlin knows what was spewing from William's mouth.

"Arghh! William!" Calista shrieked, although not too loudly. What had gotten into him? "What are you going on about? Seriously! I didn't go out and rip the feathers out of their back's! And who's to say they weren't found already shed?"

She couldn't stand for this. She reached for her glass of water and contimplated hard whether or not to dump it's contents over the man's head--the latter was chosen and the cup was placed back on the wood top. She noticed his jacket, dragon skin. "Way to call the cauldron black! Look at your jacket Willy. Skin any dragons recently?" She hissed.

"You've practically ruined my dress, I hope you're happy." The Divination professor scowled at him and then pulled out her wand and began to dry it's feathers. Poor baby, she hadn't even gotten to wear this dress for more than an hour and it was almost destroyed. She was lucky it hadn't completely desingrated. "Yes well, don't let it happen again."

Or he would be missing that jacket of his. She could probably get some good money for it, that is if it survived.

Oh? The students got to come up here where they were like, one-on-one with the Professors?

Callie was still flustered from the water incident when the girl stopped infront of her and she was fully ready to just nod and allow her to pass on to the others when she noticed that the girl had cookies.

"Oh aren't you sweet." She eyed her but then smiled, she was a child after all. Nothing to shifty going on. "Thank you Kurumi, it's lovely to meet you dear." she reached forward and grabbed the purple cookie and sniffed it quickly before taking a bite--odd habit. "Will I be seeing you in Divination this term Miss Hollingberry?"

She certainly hoped there were some kids in this place that appreciated the noble art.

Dash made his way up to the staff table as diligently as a lazy person could. He appeared to be well rested, and his skin slightly tanned from the time spent outdoors in the hot sun. His eyes fell upon the students who were quickly filling up their house tables.

He hadn't missed sorting.

What a shame.

Just like the previous terms, Scabior had only arrived in the castle few hours before the start of the fast. What was the point in coming sooner? There was none, he was going to be in the stone building for ten months anyways. He had wanted to squeeze as much as he could out of his holiday.

Taking his seat he gave a nod to the professors, that were there. Bentley. Tate. William. Medea. A new female he hadn't had the chance of meeting yet...who seemed to be wearing feathers. And even to the Gryffindor prefect who never seemed to know where her seat was.

But it wasn't up here.

"Seren. Taters." Dash greeted his closest colleagues with thin smile, unintentionally showcasing the large gash on his lower lip.

Josephina was jet-lagged. It was official. It wasn't her fault that she didn't arrive back in London until early evening on August 31st and then spent the next few hours getting packed and traveling to Hogwarts. Normally she would have been fine with the time difference, but as she dressed for the feast, she found herself dragging along, wishing the feast were over and she could go to sleep.

At least Eddie wasn't the type who would bother her and expect intensive conversation at the feast.

Walking between down the aisle next to the Hufflepuff table, she couldn't help but glance for the new faces, as tired as she was. And also wonder if she missed all the students getting sorted or only just most. It wasn't until she reached her seat when she suddenly remembered that Eddie wasn't coming back. Ugh. She was NOT looking forward to making small talk with a new Astronomy Professor. Her only saving grace was the two Astronomy Professors she'd sat next to during her tenure at Hogwarts, weren't big talkers. She'd only hope the same could be said for the new one.

She was soooo out of it, that she didn't even notice the feather-wearing blond in the Divination Professor's seat.

Sophia clicked her way into the Great Hall, tired but happy to be at the end of a very long journey here. Well it probably wouldn't have been as long if she hadn't made a few stops along the way, but here she was. She took a long look around the Great Hall, so familiar and yet..so different. Her eyes lingered on the HufflePuff table as she tried to spot her son.

He had better not be one of them using his outside voice inside or he would certainly would be made to answer for her. She turned her eyes to the Slytherin table where she had sat many years ago. Ah yes, memories.

At the end of her nostalgia, she made her way to her seat giving a nod to each professor she passed, before settling into her seat.

Isabelle had made her way to the staff table from the back door in the great hall. She was slightly later than she intended, having lost track of time unpacking. She was seriously considering leaving everything behind at the end of term, to save time at the beginning of the next. The kids surely wouldn't notice the same things in the practice room?

Clearing her throat, she walked up the steps and took a quick look at the table and it's occupants. She seemed to be the only person down her end right that minute, with Seren being her closest neighbour. Everyone else seemed to be down the other end - including a couple of new faces.

Smiling at them all, she called down a loud enough "Good evening everyone," and sat in her seat, pouring herself a goblet of water.

The Muggle Studies professor walked down the middle of the Great Hall. She glanced up at the ceiling and, even after four years of teaching and attending Hogwarts for seven, she was still in awe of the amazing roof in the Great Hall. She wished she could charm every ceiling in her house just like the ceiling in the Great Hall.

She brought her gaze from the ceiling back down with a smile, her usual excited smile that always seemed to be on her face and she clicked down the walk with excitement as she nodded her head at familiar student faces at the table giving out an occasional 'Hello' or 'How was your break' and answering those questions given to her as she went.

As she approached the Staff table, she glanced up and down quickly taking in old and new faces and lingering just for a second on the other end of the table to see a certain chair empty, for now atleast.

In her hand, she carried a little blue purse full of goody bags of Muggle candy for each of the professors.

She decided to say hello to all of the professors already seated and began at the opposite end of the table from her and walked by each of the professors smiling and giving them a goody bag as she went....

Tapping his fingers on the table and jiggling his leg nervously to the same beat, William tried to ignore the strong sense of foreboding that was building in his stomach. His thoughts were clearly everywhere BUT here, but mostly they were on the small fire still burning out in his barn. A deliberate fire, to be sure, but one he hadn't left unattended for hours at a time since he'd gotten back to Hogwarts.

Tapping his fingers more loudly, Willy glanced down at his watch again and let out a small sigh. Were the firsties sorted yet???
She smiled at Willy and placed a goody bag in front of him...she wondered if O had mentioned her to him over the summer or if they had talked about O visiting her in Florida for a couple of weeks...she pushed those thoughts out of her mind, "Well, W Cubed, I hope you had a good break and good travels."

Walking up to the Staff Table that was situated on the raised dias, the new Divination Professor felt a little awkward that she seemed to be pretty early.

Not many students had arrived yet and there was only one other adult. She immediately recognized him from their meeting in the Magical Menagerie over the summer.



"Hello there. Looks like we are going to be meal neighbors." She said with a small grin as she plopped down into her seat just two away from his. He seemed distracted. She fidgeted with the strap of her dress and began to tap a sandel on the ground below the table.

"So I didn't happen to catch your name the other day." It was strange she had introduced herself but the man seemed to have been to distracted to do her the pleasure. "Unless your parents named you Care of Magical Creatures?"

Smirk.
Gemma smiled at the new face sitting beside Willy, she extended her hand, "Gemma Cerulean, Muggle Studies..." and with her other hand she laid down the goody bag of candy.

Pouring herself a goblet of pumpkin juice, she sat patiently and waited for the sorting to begin. Seren was curious to see how many young lions she would be welcoming to her pride this school year.

Sipping from her goblet, she continued to observe the students from her seat, a careful eye scanning over the Gryffindor table on the lookout for mischief.
She smiled at Seren and handed her a goody bag, "You are looking beautiful as usual Seren...hope you had a good break!"

She set down the goody bag in front of the Headmaster and nodded her head a little bit up and down, "Hope you had a good break boss."

Arriving at the staff table, she nodded to a few of the Professors she passed, including the Headmaster, and noted just who she would be sitting next to. Oh of course! The new Divination professor. "Calista." Medea greeted with a smile as she sat down comfortably in her own seat. "Nice seeing you again."
As she laid down the goody bag, Gemma said with her usual smile, "Good to see you back Medea..."

"Oh I'm doing okay, you know, I'm sure I'll be better once we have some food on the table though." He managed a REAL smile now that his face was all warmed up from shouting and doing a spittake and talking and all that. "How are you? Did you enjoy the rest of your summer?"
Aw, so the problem was just hunger? It should be cured in a jiffy then.

"Shouldn't have to vait long then, I suppose." Gone was the tad concerned look and a smile was in it's place. She'd actually missed the Hogwarts food during the summer days. It was comforting.

She nodded. "I did. Perhaps too much? The trip back here vos hard to take." Though that didn't mean she didn't enjoy being back here in the school. She did love it. Certainly easy to get back into the swing of things. "How about you?"

I'm Kurumi Hollingberry, one of the Gryffindor prefects.," Kurumi said with a polite bow towards the peacock the blonde professor and somehow managed to dodge the shower that had been Professor Williamson.

She then glanced back at her own table and figured that she shouldn't linger here for too much longer.
Here was another familiar face.

"Good evening, Miss Hollingberry." she greeted in return. The young Gryffindor always had nice greetings. "I hope the train ride vosn't too long for you all." The idea itself was amusing when she heard of it the term before. It did indeed sound...long.

No doubt she herself would fall asleep if there were nothing to do.

Oh her bracelets? Her new friends were just so kind to appreciate her outfit tonight, first Willy looking at her dress and now this! "Oh thank you very much, I got a few of them in London, some from Edinburgh, and this one from my mother." she pointed at the least flashy of them all, the plain silver bangle.

And then there was the matter of the woman's accent. Where in the world did that come from? She would ask at a more approriate time. Yeah.
Her...auora?

"No, not on a regular basis." she admitted. She'd never been complimented on her...auora...before. Medea was still weighing in whether it'd be something she was fascinated with or not when she spoke up again. "I do meditate a great deal though, if it's vorth anything."

Oh, so she wouldn't have to go far to take a peak at some others in the area. "They are indeed lovely." she said, eying all of them, including the one given by the mother. Just as special. "I may take a few trips around there in the future." Perhaps to buy, or maybe just browse. She'll just wait and see.

But it wasn't up here.

"Seren. Taters." Dash greeted his closest colleagues with thin smile, unintentionally showcasing the large gash on his lower lip.

She was NOT looking forward to making small talk with a new Astronomy Professor. Her only saving grace was the two Astronomy Professors she'd sat next to during her tenure at Hogwarts, weren't big talkers. She'd only hope the same could be said for the new one.

She was soooo out of it, that she didn't even notice the feather-wearing blond in the Divination Professor's seat.

Smiling at them all, she called down a loud enough "Good evening everyone," and sat in her seat, pouring herself a goblet of water.
Medea couldn't help but be a little happy to see she wasn't the only one who still needed to arrive at the feast before, although now half the fact was that she seemed to be in better shape then most of them. Just what happened during their summers?

Or the past few hours at that.

Shaking the curious thoughts, she nodded and smiled to those who arrived at the staff table, half tempted to put a small rod under the Arithmancy Professor's chin to keep her head up from the table.

Blue bag. Everyone was getting one apparently, so all was good. "Thank you! It's good to be back as vell." she smiled, gaze lingering on the little bag for a moment. "I hope your summer vos vell."

What was in the bag!?

Her eyes lingered on the HufflePuff table as she tried to spot her son.

He had better not be one of them using his outside voice inside or he would certainly would be made to answer for her. She turned her eyes to the Slytherin table where she had sat many years ago. Ah yes, memories.

At the end of her nostalgia, she made her way to her seat giving a nod to each professor she passed, before settling into her seat.
And before she knew it, someone else was in her line of vision, sitting in the Charms Professor's seat. Someone who was not Althea. Oh dear, after having that momentary expectation to see Edvard in his seat, she expected Althea to be in hers as well.

The wonders summer did to one's memory...

New people meant new personalities. "Good evening." she smiled. She was nice, right? Mostly everyone here was, so there was hope!

Leobald walked into the Great Hall, feeling not tired but sort of excited and anticipant to see what his first term at the school would have in store. He had ended up coming here later than expected since he had made a quick visit at his sisters before apparating to Hogsmeade. Walking between the house tables his brown eyes darted off towards the Ravenclaw table where he had sat in his youth.

Leo's thoughts were jumbled with memories as he made his way up onto the staff dais. Taking his assigned seat he nodded to each of his new colleagues in turn. "Good evening everyone!"

As soon as she had gotten settled in her seat and discretely inspected the utensils Sophia got back to watching the students seated belows them. That was until someone else arriving caught her attention. And she was giving out gifts. Well then that was..odd.

She looked at the hand that the woman extended to her and internally cringed when the woman said she taught Muggle Studies. Really? They needed to do away with that discipline..if one could call it that. It was totally unnecessary as far as she was concerned. Anyways..this woman's hand.. She shook it gingerly and even forced a smile."Charmed...Sophia Bellaire, Charms Professor." As for the bag..she eyed it. No doubt it was filled with muggle things...blech.

And the seat next to her was being filled. She had been curious as to who would be sitting next to her. Hopefully the woman had good table manners, because she detested hearing the sound of people chewing, or seeing elbows on the table. Just..no. She did not approve of that.

"Good evening." She replied with a polite little nod in her direction.

OOOh Look it was Leo. She had met him during the summer in Diagon Alley. He was a nice man. Very decent as far as she was concerned, so she was sure they would get on very nicely. Besides, he seemed to be one of the few professors who was still not going through puberty. Such young faces..beautiful but young.

She gave him a little wave as he took his seat.
