Beneath a soaring banner emblazoned with the Slytherin house crest stands the table adorned in green and silver, evoking pride and distinction as it welcomes the return of Salazar’s chosen. As is expected of Slytherin dining, the décor is resplendent with the finest tableware, as icons of past and present achievements grace the table top, gilded accolades of Slytherin scholastic and sporting successes are nestled between embellished keepsakes notably donated by its illustrious graduates (ooc: Slytherin grads, feel free to RP these, but please don’t go overboard ;))
Elliot meandered over to the Slytherin table...well...as much as one could meander is really high heels. But Elliot was skilled in most endeavors similar to this. Tucking a loose wavy strand of her blonde hair behind her ear, she peeeeeled her eyes for any familiar faces...
Aurora? Hannah?
ANYONE?
She even looked for SOPHIE because Sophie might be with Mordred--yeah? But alas. She didn't see--
AURORA QUINN!
Well.
TURNER!
Elliot click-clacked towards her and smiiiiiiled as she waved excitedly at her old friend--approaching quickly. Dignified as always, Elliot leaned in to give Aurora a kiss on her cheek. "Rora! Oh--I haven't seen you since before I had Felix--" she said, her eyes wide. She patted her....very slim stomach. Well. it wasn't as tight as usual BUT BUUUUT she was trying.
Aurora was mid-yawn when she noticed Elliot making her way towards her. Gosh she was so tired, how did Elliot look all... effortless? She'd just had a BABY. Aurora'd looked like absolute rubbish for months after Felicity was born... in fact, she was kind of back to that point lately, what with all the teaching and rehearsals... not to mention meeting with child psychologists. She was exhausted. And jealous.
"Ell, hi!" She put on her best please-don't-ask-me-why-I'm-so-tired smile, but decided to forgo actually standing up. Nah. Too much effort. "I know, I'm so sorry, we've been so busy, and I've been no use. Did you get our basket?" She'd sent a gift basket of baby things and mother-self-care things that she'd found useful herself. And a little notebook of tips to do with the less glamorous parts of the postpartum situation. She wasn't sure how long she'd be able to keep up the cheery thing though.
LUCKILY FOR HER... Kitty!
One specific kitty, who Aurora had been missing, and hoping to see here.

How?!) had passed since Iris last wandered the halls of Hogwarts, and she was curious to see how old classmates were faring. Besides, Jimbo had mentioned that he might be coming. Seeing him in Hogwarts again would be nothing if not entirely entertaining. And not at all bittersweet. Not at all.
That's how Iris found herself, four paws and fluffy tail, wandering along the dusty skirting boards of the Great Hall. She'd reasoned to herself that there was no need enduring painful small talk unless she found someone worth talking to for a while, and found herself thankful for the subtlety of her animagus form. She would never be able to do this if her magic decided a great ugly dog was better suited, or worse, if it had chosen the form of an elephant... Lafay probably counted as 'worthy', she had gone to Aaron and Iris' wedding, after all...
Is that 'Rora? It is! Iris purred, and bounded under the Slytherin table, making a beeline for Aurora's feet. The ex-head girl purred louder, and wound her body around Aurora's ankles.
Noooootice me, 'Rora. Let me sit on your shoulders. I miss my usual vantage point.
"Hi." Aurora grinned down at the cat winding itself around her feet and uncrossed her legs so that there was an easier platform for her to jump onto. "I missed you. Everything okay?"
Did she look mad talking to a cat? Probably. But she didn't care. This cat was one of her favourite people, so there. She waited for Iris to jump up, then scratched behind her ears, pausing after a second to ask, "Is that weird?" The whole, petting her like a cat thing? Aurora wasn't sure if it was... odd. So she'd best ask. Animagus etiquette and all.

Jeez, he didn't wanna be here.
Maybe he'd find Nig in a bit to pass the time. BROMANCE.
He pat Snaps on the head and remarked, "Y'look nice, by the way."
"Half of them? That's being generous." Derry remarked, pulling a face. Her doubts about this entire thing had been confirmed pretty much as soon as she walked in the door: This wasn't for them. This was for the older alumni. She practically felt like a first year. Which, considering she had never been a first year here, was pretty strange.
... Really?
He pat her on the head.
"So do you." She elbowed him in the side. Not hard, just a nudge really. It wasn't her fault she had bony elbows.

"What do you know about Hogwarts?" he asked to her as his eyes quickly scanned the table to see if there was someone he knew... and of course, Mrs. and Mr. Montmorency was a few seats away from him, Dylan looking as silly as he could, and Aspen was the usual: in black. They weren't worthy of another glance, so the Brazilian turned his attention back at Mags.
There she was, the light of his life.
He smiled differently at her, then, and scooted a little to make room for her.
"Please, my lady" he said before anything else. He couldn't see any of his friends, and come to think about it, it was a good thing. "I had to look presentable," he said and winked. "But yes, this is great!" Then, he paused, and asked "I don't see anyone I recognise here, though, so we can sit at Hufflepuff table too. You could introduce me to your friends."
She smiled as he moved over and Victoria slipped in beside him, leaning she gave him a small kiss. She loved how he talked to her and how he treated her, always making her feel special. She was a lucky woman to have him. Her brown eyes looked around and she frowned a bit. "Do you know if any of them were going to come?" She hoped his friends would show up it would be sad if none came.
"I feel so old being here, sitting at these tables again. There are so many younger kids here. I think all of Wade's age has come back." She looked towards the Hufflepuff table to Charely's oldest son and his wife. She recognized a few of the younger adults from when he was in school.
She turned more fully to face him, "Well I was just over there, but if you'd like to meet Amelia we can certainly go back over. I haven't seen too many other people, but there are so many different places. I really hope my old friend Jess will come." She hadn't seen her since they graduated and she just really wanted to catch up. "We could go dance or get some food if you'd like. I would like to stop at the donating box as well." She'd donate a bit to them, it was important after all.

"That's about enough information about the castle," he said and grinned. Then, following her gaze, he caught Aspen's gaze once again, bowed his head and even SMILED at her. However, he ignored Dylan, because he was too busy looking at his 'partner' anyway. He was once again shocked that Aspen could even like Dylan - the boy was CLEARLY inferior to her. Well, whatever. He dismissed them, and looked back at his partner.
"I don't see anyone yet," he said, though he knew Louisa and Paulie must be somewhere, "so we can just dance or eat... or socialise." It was up to her. She was sort of his guest here, so he wouldn't leave her alone.

Back in his school years, Hogwarts had been the escape he needed from his stepfather's grasp. But it had also been the time when Nigel had been expected to behave like the purebloods or at least mixed blood he really wasn't. So it was with mixed feelings he returned to its hallowed halls for the first reunion he had ever come for. The potion master blamed it on his best friend. With Cosi now teaching there, he provided a more pleasant connection to the school.
He had stopped at the Ravenclaw table of his youth yet nothing had been real attention grabbing there. Looking for any familiar faces that might be around, Nigel noticed the wizzened head of hair of one Cosgrach Culloden at the Slytherin table and decided to head over. The former eagle reaching it as the man's other half had also come up to him. If only Elinor had been around to come with him. SIgh.
"Alas...familiar faces..." he mused coming up beside them both after gathering himself. The potions master was at least trying to be social. "Good evening. I hope I'm not interrupting." They weren't trying to be alone were they?

Iris purred happily as she jumped up onto her friend's lap. She made a noise that might've sounded something like agreement.
Ear scratches? Okay. We can deal with that. Iris curled up on 'Rora's lap and looked up at the woman; smirked at her question. Or maybe it was a smirk. It probably didn't look like it to Aurora. Five years of officially being an actual animagus and Iris still hadn't figured out the whole 'displaying your emotions while you look like an actual cat' thing. Clearly she just needed to work at it more.
Iris grinned at her friend, then jumped up onto her shoulder; she nuzzled against Aurora's head in the process.
There, better.
Now, to see if there's anyone here worrrth changing back to her actual self for. (Aurora doesn't count in this judgement. Obviously. Iris sees her often enough to trust that she knows this.)

"My husband will be here shortly..." she said looking towards the door, "I hope that isn't a problem..." she said with a smirk looking at the boy. The Captain always had a knack for making people uneasy around him.

She said giving the young man a smile and ignoring the question of Kennedy. Maybe she could distract her with another handsome lad.

He shook his head and laughed. "...and I don't mean a word of what I just said," he commented. "I just couldn't help myself sitting here after so many years." He leaned over and added, "So do I finally get to snog you at the house table?"
-----
Expecting an answer to the question about Kennedy, Sierra frowned at sat back. Hearing her mom direct her attention to somebody else at the table, Sierra dropped her frown and glanced up. "Well, what do you know?" she said, grinning at her former housemate. "Mr. Salamander himself." She hadn't forgotten that nickname at all. "How've you been?"

"Captain!" Hecate said pretending to be flabbergasted at him suggesting they break the rules. They had never kissed at the house table... not because they would get in trouble... she knew Alexander and Bella had snogged everywhere on the campus... and Hecate ended up covering for him. but because they were just friends in school... best friends. "No snogging... we'll set a bad example..."
She then turned to Salander, "What are you doing these days?" She really wanted to ask how he made his money, but that would have sounded rude.
After helping his former Head of House to her seat, Salander spotted THE big man on campus—because honestly there isn’t anybody whose gonna get bigger than the guy who used to run the Wizarding World “Minister Greingoth, its good to meet you again Sir.” Salander held his hand out to the former Minister of Magic. “Everything’s well with the Greingoth Empire?”
“Sierra!” he greeted the not so little Snakette and laughed at his nickname with her “Pretty good, still lighting things up on fire.” albeit not literally and with a lot more sophistication. Passion put to productive use as it were. “And how are you?In which arena have your spread your awesome?”
Oh so mother-daughter interested in what he’s been up to “Well, I run the global operations for the hotel side of the family business. Lotsa travelling.... thank goodness for Wizarding ways of travel.” because planes just wouldn’t cut it often times. “But yeah raising my kid... tryna strike that elusive work-life balance.” Single parenting was tough, even for a former Head Boy in charge of so many kids.
“How is the family then Mrs Greingoth? Last we met you just had your little one. I trust she’s not so little anymore?”

He still remembered how unpleasant him to leave Canada and his school time in Salem but then slowly he enjoyed living in London, go to Hogwarts and all that jazz.
"What're you doing after graduate? If you don't mind that I ask." Gary knew that some of Hogwarts alumna were very successful, including himself. Finding a job that he enjoyed very much was a success, besides that he also inherited his family property business. His blue eyes spotted another familiar face (Daichi) come to the table. "Daichi Katharos." He greeted and gave a high five to his former co-prefect. "How have you been? Still carrying the stuffed duck everywhere?" He slightly joked.
Oakey... Gunter?
Yeah, he did remember the name. The guy who was a Hufflepuff prefect. "Oh,Mrs. Gunter then. Yeah, I know him." He replied. "I am fine.. busy and enjoying my job." And not a typical wizarding job. A job that could make you travel all around the world, meet some girls and took a bunch of photos.
Oh, look. His former head of house was coming too with ex-minister and Sierra Greingoth, his former co-prefect. "Professor Lafay." The blonde guy greeted her. Maybe calling her Professor wasn't that suitable anymore since she didn't teach at Hogwarts anymore according to his cousins. "How have you been?" He asked. Gary just gave a smile to the ex-minister Greingoth since he didn't know him very well and he's not a typical kissing-butt guy. "Hello, Sierra. How's quidditch?" He asked that girl. Hopefully her parents didn't mind. They were friends are leaders together and he wasn't hitting on her. Wasn't she with Escalante?
Wow, he was being very sociable today. So many old acquaintances were coming though he was hoping to see Tiffany and Zhenya.

He smiled at the both of them and then bowed a little "Daichi , my name is Daichi, i was one of the Slytherins, class of" eeeeeeh.....staring blankly , the young man counted how many years it had been before coming to the conclusion that it was "2081"
Turning his attention back to Gary, Daichi blushed faintly at the mention of the stuffed duck "No!" he answered defiantly. He didn't carry it around with him anymore, he was past that phase. He did..however ..have a room dedicated to little duckies. It had become an obsession honestly but he wasn't going to mention that. "And really? that's how you remembered me? i was a Prefect for crying out loud!" he laughed though, showing that he wasn't mad. "I've been well, got a day off work to come here, how have you been?"
“Nah I don’t mind. ‘Joined the family business...” albeit reluctantly initially “and now I take care of the global hotel business, the one that carries the Waldorf-Astoria branding.” Because posh, but Sal is trying to make it more relatable to folks. Being too snobby doesn’t rake in the wealth after all.
Ah so this Slytherin of 2081 was a Prefect as well. “Well its good to meetcha Daichi.” And apparently he used to have a thing for ducks? Brow up on this former Slytherin Head Boy. Yeahhh maybe he should leave be all polite and-- “Have you been to that Muggle amusement park called Disneyland? They got this big stuffed duck walking around with no pants. May want to meet him?” he chuckled. Sighs, so much for breaking the teasing habit.
So these are the guys that succeeded him. After Kennedy and Sierra he kinda lost touch with the goings on of his House. “So what have you two been up to since the honor of serving as Slytherin’s leaders?” They did realize it was an honor right? Salazar’s chosen after all.

Generous ‘no? He turned around a bit here and there, trying to recall where was it that he used to park his tushy, when suddenly he caught sight of a badge with his name—all of it. “Oh now I know where I’m sittin’” he chuckled as he sat himself down across from it. He plucked out the HeadBoy badge and ran his thumb over it. Man he remembered getting his like it was yesterday, and the sensation of disbelief hasn’t really left him.
Oh look there be fellow Snakeys. Thing is he doesnt remember them. Hmm mustve been after his time "Hey there..." he greeted them "The name's Salander." he said as he extended his hand. Well at least his manner of greeting has improved since the Bubblegum incident.

This was for the older alumni. She practically felt like a first year. Which, considering she had never been a first year here, was pretty strange.

He pat her on the head.
"So do you." She elbowed him in the side. Not hard, just a nudge really. It wasn't her fault she had bony elbows.
Okay okay okay, he can do it, he can make it.
Walking over from the buffet table with a dish piled high with food and topped with a slice of pie, Jimbo maneuvered his way to the Slytherin table, trying not to drop the drink in his right hand.
He'd sidestepped so many people to get to just the right spot - his spot - he wasn't even sure if he'd caught a glimpse of Monty or anyone else he might know. Right now, it was all about that slice of cherry almond pie, and the sweet, sweet drink in his hand.
Sitting down at the place where he'd carved his name in first year (embarrassingly enough, someone had added the words "loves Iris Beaumont" and he swears it wasn't him), he gently placed his ridiculous mountain of food onto the table and leant back to sigh at his work. All the way to the table, and not a single crumb dropped. How's that for clumsy Jimbo Farley, eh? It's called maturity. Or maybe he'd finally grown into his oversized body, and now it's all perfectly balanced, like an adult. Regardless, he's got this down to an art, better than before. Just take a look at Jimbo Farley now, losers.
He took a sip of his drink - which was amazing - and grabbed a fork to start chomping into that delectable pie. Maybe once he was done with the slice, he would have the frame of mind to start looking for people he might recognize.
Professor Pink | Mrs. Bruce Wayne | I'm on a Goat | Glitterpuff | Dumbledore's Defense Squad | BHB
Annie could have sworn she had just seen her lanky husband lurking about somewhere. Was he going for the food? That was really her brother's style more than her husband's, no... she still had an inkling that he was by the yearbooks. Annie was making her way toward them when to her eye's delight, it seemed that Ethan was heading toward her at the same time.

He duplicated the picture, put the yearbook back, and then headed out into the main Great Hall.

"Met you halfway," she caught up to him with a smile, wrapping her arm around his cheerfully. The redhead leaned up to give her husband a kiss on the cheek. "Hi dear. Run into anyone interesting yet?"
She had, of course. All the wannabe-powerfuls hung out by the donation station.

"When did we start worrying about being a bad example?" he asked. A thought occurred to him and he added, "Besides, did you get a good look at the house points hourglass? I think the bad example's already been set."
He frowned and left the topic to be. "That donations table,..." he said, nodding in it's direction. He let that thought trail off as he added, "Do we know any of the Governors? Or is there anybody worth knowing?" he asked her. He might be persuaded to drop in a hefty amount of galleons for anybody who might be of a certain degree of assistance to himself the school.
Professor Lafay? Weeeeird. Sierra hadn't thought of her mom as a professor in so long. Always a teacher, but a professor? She'd been her mom for so long now, she'd just kind of let the professor image go by the wayside. Nevermind that. She perked up, of course, when Quidditch was mentioned. "It's amazing," she said. An excitement fueled by her love of the game grew inside of her. "I'm a Beater...for the Harpies," she added. Did he know that? Did he follow the pros at all? She smiled at him, used to greeting the public (or in this case, old friends) by now.
Sierra glanced down the table, finding some new faces and some completely unfamiliar faces. Her eyes landed on Dylan, and she grinned widely. He was a good ways down the table, so no speaking right now. He did earn a wave with that smile, though.
"Do not mention the hourglass Captain... as soon as I see Cece I will extend a few choice words to her." but under the table, and away from anyone's view, her hand went into his. That wasn't snogging at the house table, but it was something they hadn't done back in school. Did they know anyone on the board of Governors? "I don't know if we know anyone and frankly I do not care. And I won't care until Ariadne is here in school... If I decide to send her here... I may home school her. Too many boys like you around here captain..."

Aurora headed straight to the Slytherin table, remembering her first and last feasts here, but not many of the ones in between. Her last one had been a struggle, because she'd graduated before Richard, but it had made them stronger in the end, so she looked back on it fondly. ... Merlin, she sounded so old, she was only 23 for goodness sake.
Wait, there was Professor Lafay! Aurora actually missed her, strangely. She didn't know anyone who missed their teachers, but maybe it was something to do with that whole... situation. With the aiming. She was a much better shot now, thanks to Hecate Lafay. Aurora smiled over at Professor (she was still professor to her) Lafay, and waved at her. Should she go over? Maybe? She seemed pretty busy...
In the back she saw another familiar person, who waved to her. "Well hello," she said to Aurora... who now seemed to be busy with her pet. Odd... why would she bring her cat to this event?

“How is the family then Mrs Greingoth? Last we met you just had your little one. I trust she’s not so little anymore?”
"Oh, I didn't realize you'd gotten married." He was still quite young, wasn't he? "Yes, well, our daughter isn't a baby anymore, though she is a very attention seeking child, but... we have Colton now. He's six month old." She said glaring at her husband. She was a woman who had never wanted children... now she had four when you counted Anna and Sierra... Five if you counted Alex... which she did. "But tell me, what is your child's name, and how old is... she? He?"

She had, of course. All the wannabe-powerfuls hung out by the donation station.
The Headmistress... not her favorite person, but still... tollerable. She should go greet her never the less... she and who she was with... and she was with...
... it couldn't be!
... Merlin's Dirty Jail Cell! It was Truebridge. Her convict of a husband. She glared at him from afar.

Reason: Forgot to answer Alexander's governor question
Elodie had no intention of allowing the Hufflepuff table any sort of visit from her tonight. No. She didn't feel right being near to it, and not a student. She didn't feel like letting Coulson dictate where they went, because he'd only grunt or make complaints about how much he hated it here. Which, she would have only pointed out, he had wanted to return to. He dragged HER here.
ANYWAYS - it was all hunkydory because she had taken his arm when they got here, made a few smiles in directions of people she actually gave two soups about, waved at a few others that she really just wanted to rub Mucklow's back-end deposits into their faces. Ever the polite Hufflepuff, she was. Nah. She hated them all.
Probably 98% of the people she could see were people with faces she didn't like, didn't know and therefore didn't like, or wished had never graced the earth. Some peoples parents really should have shelled out for re constructive surgery at birth. Yikes.
Els took Bibs towards the Slytherin table without explanation, pulling on his arm as much as she could without her grip slipping into his hand, because that would just cause all sorts of problems. "We should pretend we were in this house."
And then she could really pretend she was a proper Robertser.
A Slytherin Robertser.
Not Failodie.
...............
so.....
He didn't have a say on where they were going to be seated. Alright. Sure. Fine.
With hunched shoulders and a lowered head, Coulson allowed the girl to lead him around. Specifically.... to a table neither of them belonged to; not really. The boy man hadn't ever had a reason to visit the table, so he just gave questioning looks to the accompanier.
"Why?"
What was the point in that? Wasn't like Cat was coming or anything... Not that Coul would really have anything to say to the girl.. he wasn't angry with her anymore but... Shrug.
"Do you have a new found affection for green?"

“How is the family then Mrs Greingoth? Last we met you just had your little one. I trust she’s not so little anymore?”
Alexander Greingoth hadn't long been settled when some kid extended his hand out for a shake. Alexander grinned at him and returned the shake. Who was this again? A second later, he didn't care about his confusion over the young man. He'd heard 'Greingoth Empire', causing his ego to swell with pride. "Tell me. Would it make me look any less powerful to say it's all about the wife and kids now?" he asked, only half meaning that. He laughed then added, "I'm serious when I say that, though. It's all about them." The wife and the Quidditch team of kids. Hopefully Hecate didn't hear that, though. She'd probably get a good laugh hearing him being so sentimental.
Sierra laughed at Salamander's response to her. "Which arena? You mean I have to choose only one?" she joked. Of course she'd spread her awesomeness everywhere! She knew what he meant, though. "I'm a Harpy," she said. "I started out with the Falcons, but I made my dream team." Thank Merlin her mom had made her stick with it.
She nodded along as he talked about his career. "Sounds powerful," she said, because only a Greingoth would see it from that perspective first. "A kid? A little Salamander!" Boy or girl, either way. "Well, I'm happy for you, Salamander." Because, that would always be his name.

At the sound of her request not to mention the hourglass, Alexander just gave a half-hearted shrug. He'd just mentioned the house points as more of an afterthought...or really as more of a counter-argument to his argument. The thing was, he couldn't even remember what he'd been trying to protest--oh, yes! It was the snogging at the house table. Always the snogging at the house table.
Then he frowned at her response to his question about the governors. "I was inquiring about connections," he emphasized, "because I doubt the majority of this charity event is actually going to the students." That was an 'Alexander is starting to get in a slightly foul mood' response. He, however, perked up when he caught on to Hecate's glare and pretty much read her mind. With his own trademark smirk set in place, he looked right at her and whispered, "Alexander Greingoth. Winner!"
Annie could have sworn she had just seen her lanky husband lurking about somewhere. Was he going for the food? That was really her brother's style more than her husband's, no... she still had an inkling that he was by the yearbooks. Annie was making her way toward them when to her eye's delight, it seemed that Ethan was heading toward her at the same time.

Wife found!
Ah there, see? Better already. Ethan immediately felt less scattered.. and fancy that, he'd ended up at his own former house table, though he wasn't quite inclined to try and spot former classmates of his, or former students quite yet. If any spotted him and wished to chat then that would be fine, of course, but it wasn't actually his priority. With his wife at his side things were certainly looking up.
"You always do." He agreed generously. She didn't really, but what did that matter?
"No. Nobody." Or well... "Your brother. And his wife. She's rather round, isn't she?" In the pregnant sort of way. And he had something to show Annie. Remembering the copied picture, Ethan extracted it from his pocket, unfolded it, and handed it to her solemnly.
"Me." He explained. Except twelve year old him was a dead ringer for their son. And to Ethan's eye it made it easier to spot those Bunbury additions that made David both of theirs. He wanted to compare the picture with one of their boy from her office. Something that hadn't occurred to him to attempt before this night simply because there weren't a lot of pictures of himself as a child.
Turned out yearbooks were good for something.
And yes, he saw Hecate making eyes at him, and briefly thought it was a little bit sad that the former professor was still apparently so threatened. He'd take pity on her if he cared to, but he didn't. At least she had more to live for now than just the position she'd contrived to wrest from him. Had he cared more at the time he'd have done something about it.
"Is there anyone you'd like to speak with, Annie?"

Even though she was a Hufflepuff, Lima decided to stop by the Slytherin Table to see if anyone she knew from school was sitting there. Nope. Clearly she was one of the 'old' attendees, because pretty well everyone looked younger than her. Oh well, she looked really good for her age and she was only in her 30s.
Scanning the table, her eyes landed on someone who looked familiar and who she hadn't seen in ages. "Tia? Is that you?" It would be so embarrassing if she was wrong.

Tia looked up and recognised the voice and said "Hey Lima, yeah it is me" Tia hadn't been sure if any of her old friends were going to be attending at least now she didnt feel so old
She smiled as he moved over and Victoria slipped in beside him, leaning she gave him a small kiss. She loved how he talked to her and how he treated her, always making her feel special. She was a lucky woman to have him. Her brown eyes looked around and she frowned a bit. "Do you know if any of them were going to come?" She hoped his friends would show up it would be sad if none came.
"I feel so old being here, sitting at these tables again. There are so many younger kids here. I think all of Wade's age has come back." She looked towards the Hufflepuff table to Charely's oldest son and his wife. She recognized a few of the younger adults from when he was in school.
She turned more fully to face him, "Well I was just over there, but if you'd like to meet Amelia we can certainly go back over. I haven't seen too many other people, but there are so many different places. I really hope my old friend Jess will come." She hadn't seen her since they graduated and she just really wanted to catch up. "We could go dance or get some food if you'd like. I would like to stop at the donating box as well." She'd donate a bit to them, it was important after all.

Cosgrach shrugged. He didn't know. Annie WOULD be here, he knew, but others... well, maybe it was better that his friends didn't show up. They weren't really friends anymore, anyway. "I don't know," he said, not to look like he was ignoring her, and nodded at what she said next.
"I feel old everyday." Hehe. He squeezed her hand, and opened his mouth to say that he'd love to meet this Amelia and also that they did have to donate some, but his best friend showed up at that moment and he beeeeeeeamed at the man.
"Nigel!" he exclaimed in his cheerful mood, "of course you aren't. Come now." They already knew each other, so he didn't introduce them to each other. "How are you?"

The blonde guy could not help but chuckled at Daichi. “Dude, you were my co-prefect. Of course I did remember.” The collaboration of Apple head boy and duck prefect served the house of Snakes. Weird, yeah. “I guess you’re already over with the ducks and grown up then.” He nodded.
“I am good, busy with the work too. Lucky that I was currently around Europe so I decided to come here. My cousins told me about this reunion.” He answered. Gary wasn’t a big fan of an event like this but… Why not? At least he could remember that he’s a wizard here. Working around muggles made him kinda forgot that he’s not one of them.
Turned to Sierra, his fellow classmate who now being a beater of Harpies. “That’s good. I’d like to see you in a match someday. Had this year’s season started already?” The blonde guy asked her. Wow, he hadn’t seen quidditch for years maybe and how he missed Quidditch badly.. Watching an old friend playing for a pro, why not? He had a time for that since he’s gonna around Europe until New Year.
Again, Gary just chuckled when Salander mentioning about ducks to Daichi. This guy really had a reputation, huh? “I am a photojournalist for National Geographic Traveler.” He answered. Maybe it didn’t sound very prestigious for a wizard like being an auror or healer or whatever. But it’s his dream job; Traveling and taking photos around the world. He also joined his family property business but just as one of the major shareholders.
Gary knew that his former Head of House wasn’t a very nice person but seeing her smiling at him was.. weird? No, it was nice actually. “Yes, Ma’am. I think I am better than well.” He answered. Hope it didn’t sound snobby but yeah, he was feeling very good now. Having a dream job, living in a good adventure and not to mention an uncomplicated love life since he’s currently single now. Sexy, free and single. “I hope you are good too especially since you’re retiring from Hogwarts. My cousins told me.” Bianca and Bryan did say that the new Potions master was good and Tillstorm was promoted to be the Head of House.
He just realized too that the last time Slytherin won the house cup was when he was being the Head Boy. Seriously?

"Exactly!" Daichi said, with a firm nod of his head and crossed his arms over each other. Of course, he didn't mind being associated with ducks because ducks were amazing you know? But he was also an adult now and if anyone found out he still had an obsession with those cute little creatures he wouldn't be taken seriously.
"Of course i'm over it!" he laughed, placing his hand on Gary's shoulder as he did so. "I'm not childish anymore you know....."

Yeahhh maybe he should leave be all polite and-- “Have you been to that Muggle amusement park called Disneyland? They got this big stuffed duck walking around with no pants. May want to meet him?” he chuckled. Sighs, so much for breaking the teasing habit.
"ARE YOU FOR REAL?!" Oops that had come out before he could stop himself. He literally pushed Gary aside to stand near the other man, his eyes showing its twinkling curiousity again. "Where is that park?" Because a big stuffed duck! He needed it for his collection! "Wait, meet him...ITS A REAL TALKING DUCK?!"
Realising that he was freaking out ...again , the ex Slytherin cleared his throat , a bright blush forming on his cheeks. "I mean, ok cool i'll check it out sometimes" BUT TELL HIM WHERE THAT DUCK IS!
"Half of them? That's being generous." Derry remarked, pulling a face. Her doubts about this entire thing had been confirmed pretty much as soon as she walked in the door: This wasn't for them. This was for the older alumni. She practically felt like a first year. Which, considering she had never been a first year here, was pretty strange.
... Really?
He pat her on the head.
"So do you." She elbowed him in the side. Not hard, just a nudge really. It wasn't her fault she had bony elbows.
Jeez. Why was she always doing that?
"You're real abusive. Y'know that, yeah?" And if he was bruised by her little, tiny, sharp elbows he was going to be real grumpy. No one wanted that. Least of all Derry. 'Cause he was insufferable when he was sulking.
Like most Slytherin men.
He just eyed her like a wounded puppy, "If I bruise then I'll be slightly less attractive without my shirt on to play the drums." Priorities, Snaps.
"Feenella Schwarzberg!" he said excitedly and gave her a little hug. Beck grinned his little million dollar grin at her and took a seat next to her. He wasn't sure who was going to be here but the very first person that he talked to was now Fee! The night was full of surprises! "So how have you been?" He asked, he was curious. Really he wanted to know how everyone was and what they were up to. What he wouldn't give to be able to be here all the time again. He just need a time turner or a time machine. Time turners were tricky little buggers.
Fee grinned widely when he sat next to her. Man, she hadnt seen Beck in ages. Those were the days, when they would sit around the grounds together. Still school kids. So many good memories she had with this bloke. "Its so good to see you man!," she hugged him back.
It had been such a good idea to come here today. The second person that put a smile on her face already. Sigh. the blonde really missed being at Hogwarts."I've been good. I am a journalist now." So much had changed...they were all proper adults now. How weird was that?!"What about you mister?"

The more the night went on, the more Theodore wished he had worn his old uniform like Professor Flamsteed had. It felt weird to waltz down the Great Hall without it. Though, he did have a good ol' chocolate frog in his hand as he made his way to the Slytherin table. Those things definitely reminded him of his youth.
He plopped himself down in his old place, giving the wood an affectionate (but subtle) rub as he did.
Nothing to see here. He CHOMPED off the head of his chocolate frog, noticing a few familiar faces down the table. Derry, he noticed first. Theo waved at her with his free hand.

Iris purred happily as she jumped up onto her friend's lap. She made a noise that might've sounded something like agreement.
Ear scratches? Okay. We can deal with that. Iris curled up on 'Rora's lap and looked up at the woman; smirked at her question. Or maybe it was a smirk. It probably didn't look like it to Aurora. Five years of officially being an actual animagus and Iris still hadn't figured out the whole 'displaying your emotions while you look like an actual cat' thing. Clearly she just needed to work at it more.
Iris grinned at her friend, then jumped up onto her shoulder; she nuzzled against Aurora's head in the process.
There, better.
Now, to see if there's anyone here worrrth changing back to her actual self for. (Aurora doesn't count in this judgement. Obviously. Iris sees her often enough to trust that she knows this.)

Aurora wasn't really sure what Iris was trying to communicate, but mainly because she was so tired she probably wouldn't be able to figure out what anyone was saying, let alone a cat. The purring was fairly straight forward though, so that was nice. It was actually really relaxing for once, which made a change from pretty much everything back home. Life was manic.
.. Was Iris baring her teeth at her? Or was she trying to smile? Aurora was still trying to figure it out when the cat jumped up on to her shoulders without any warning, "Merlin, Iris!" Rora exclaimed. She didn't exactly have wide shoulders, they weren't made for carrying anything, let alone a living creature. She glanced back over at Professor Lafay when she said hello and sort of waved awkwardly.

"Aw, diddums." She jokingly pinched Ascanius' cheek then retracted her hand quickly. "You're not going to bruise, and literally nobody would care if you did. I'm like a hundred percent sure that absolutely none of your fans would be less attracted to you just because of a teensy little bruise." Was that a compliment? Maybe? She wasn't sure. She was rarely sure if she was being mean or nice to Ascanius, but he knew she loved him so it was okay, right? Right.
Wait, was that Theo? It WAS! Derry BEAMED at Theo and waved back, gesturing for him to come over and join them. It'd been ages since she'd seen him, and she missed all her old teammates. Ascanius didn't mind, did he?

"Robbie's here?" Annie seemed surprised to hear that. "And Delilah. Hmm. Well, I'll say she's round, she's probably due in less than a month." The redhead chuckled at her husband's description of her sister-in-law, whom she actually liked better than her brother. But that was the case with most people, anyway. Annie was just surprised they had come all this way for a silly reunion.
Anyway, Ethan was offering her a picture of himself, and she accepted it quietly, studying his face with great interest. "Look at that," she murmured, starting to smile just at the sight of young Zan's little face. "He looks SO much like you. Except for the eyes, he does have my eyes. Awwwwwwwww, my boys!" Her husband would know who she was talking about. Annie was just touched that he had thought to pull out this photo... or duplicate it, whatever, to show her! She patted his cheek for being so thoughtful, and then tucked the photo away for closer examination later. She was going to tuck this little one into the corner of one of Davie's framed photos in her office.
Was there anyone she wished to speak with? The redhead took a minute to look around at all the Snakes mingling by this table.... sure, there was the former Minister, Greingoth, and his Potions Mistress, Hecate.... Anastasia looked right at them and then back to her husband with a brow raise.
"No, no one I particularly WISH to speak to...."

Except, here was one. "Cosgrach!" the Headmistress called out his name pleasantly, then started over toward where he was standing, tugging Ethan with her of course. "Cossy, you remember my husband Ethan?" She'd taken him to Cosgrach's wedding of course. "Ethan, Cosgrach teaches potions for me now. He does a wonderful job." AND he hadn't set a single student on fire in his tenure....so far.....

But it had also been the time when Nigel had been expected to behave like the purebloods or at least mixed blood he really wasn't. So it was with mixed feelings he returned to its hallowed halls for the first reunion he had ever come for. The potion master blamed it on his best friend. With Cosi now teaching there, he provided a more pleasant connection to the school.
He had stopped at the Ravenclaw table of his youth yet nothing had been real attention grabbing there. Looking for any familiar faces that might be around, Nigel noticed the wizzened head of hair of one Cosgrach Culloden at the Slytherin table and decided to head over. The former eagle reaching it as the man's other half had also come up to him. If only Elinor had been around to come with him. SIgh.
"Alas...familiar faces..." he mused coming up beside them both after gathering himself. The potions master was at least trying to be social. "Good evening. I hope I'm not interrupting." They weren't trying to be alone were they?

"I feel old everyday." Hehe. He squeezed her hand, and opened his mouth to say that he'd love to meet this Amelia and also that they did have to donate some, but his best friend showed up at that moment and he beeeeeeeamed at the man.
"Nigel!" he exclaimed in his cheerful mood, "of course you aren't. Come now." They already knew each other, so he didn't introduce them to each other. "How are you?"
Victoria studied her husbands face as it seemed like he was lost in thought, but smiled as he answered. "You okay sweetie?" Placing a hand on his shoulder she leaned over and kisses his cheek. "How was your day?" The down side of him being at school most of the time, she didn't get the little moments of asking how his day was at night over dinner, so this would do.
Hearing someone come up to them she turned her brown eyes leaving her hand on her husbands arm. "Nigel, so good to see you. How's business?" She had been at the shop a few times, but it was always nice to ask. "No you aren't interrupting at all. Cossy here was just saying how he felt old everyday, though he has to be mistaken. He isn't old at all." She smiled at her husband lovingly. He was a bit older then her, yes, but she never saw it that way.
"Are you having fun?" She assumed Nigel would be since he was at a reunion, but one never truly knew without asking.
Except, here was one. "Cosgrach!" the Headmistress called out his name pleasantly, then started over toward where he was standing, tugging Ethan with her of course. "Cossy, you remember my husband Ethan?" She'd taken him to Cosgrach's wedding of course. "Ethan, Cosgrach teaches potions for me now. He does a wonderful job." AND he hadn't set a single student on fire in his tenure....so far.....

Cosgrach shrugged. "I didn't have any classes today, so it was great." Hehehe - not that he didn't like teaching, on the contrary! But it was his job at the end of the day. Instead, he'd rested today and got ready.
He laughed. "I'm just one of -" He trailed off as he heard his voice, and turned to catch Annie's gaze with her husband. He got up from where he was sitting and smiled at the couple.
"Of course, Anastasia," he said, "hello Mr. Truebridge." He was thankfully modest enough to at least feign modesty at what she said next. "I'm just doing my best." And it worked, apparently.
"Aw, diddums." She jokingly pinched Ascanius' cheek then retracted her hand quickly. "You're not going to bruise, and literally nobody would care if you did. I'm like a hundred percent sure that absolutely none of your fans would be less attracted to you just because of a teensy little bruise." Was that a compliment? Maybe? She wasn't sure. She was rarely sure if she was being mean or nice to Ascanius, but he knew she loved him so it was okay, right? Right.
Wait, was that Theo? It WAS! Derry BEAMED at Theo and waved back, gesturing for him to come over and join them. It'd been ages since she'd seen him, and she missed all her old teammates. Ascanius didn't mind, did he?
What the he-
Now she was assaulting his face?! Would the abuse never end? He'd like to point out all he'd done to start this was condescendingly patting her on the head. By and large he was innocent.
"You're lucky m'absurdly handsome. Else I'd be real upset."
Then Derry was waving. Scan craned his neck around to see to whom and bro!nodded at Theo. Sup?

The redhead chuckled at her husband's description of her sister-in-law, whom she actually liked better than her brother. But that was the case with most people, anyway. Annie was just surprised they had come all this way for a silly reunion.
Anyway, Ethan was offering her a picture of himself, and she accepted it quietly, studying his face with great interest. "Look at that," she murmured, starting to smile just at the sight of young Zan's little face. "He looks SO much like you. Except for the eyes, he does have my eyes. Awwwwwwwww, my boys!" Her husband would know who she was talking about. Annie was just touched that he had thought to pull out this photo... or duplicate it, whatever, to show her! She patted his cheek for being so thoughtful, and then tucked the photo away for closer examination later. She was going to tuck this little one into the corner of one of Davie's framed photos in her office.
Was there anyone she wished to speak with? The redhead took a minute to look around at all the Snakes mingling by this table.... sure, there was the former Minister, Greingoth, and his Potions Mistress, Hecate.... Anastasia looked right at them and then back to her husband with a brow raise.
"No, no one I particularly WISH to speak to...."
Except, here was one. "Cosgrach!" the Headmistress called out his name pleasantly, then started over toward where he was standing, tugging Ethan with her of course.

Nigel was grateful for the positive reaction to his presence, smiling back at his friend as he greeted him. Yes, he and Victoria knew each other as well so introductions were nixed and made things easier. "I am well..." he answered the former Slytherin. "It's nice to see you as well. And its good...thankfully back to its calmer days." With school back in session, he had his regular and irregular customers instead of the influx of young ones under the age of 17.
Old? "You can't be..." he mused looking towards his friend. "Cause that means I am as well." And he certainly didn't want to act like it. Granted Nigel had a rather sedate lifestyle but he wasn't old. "But how have you two been?"
He might have went further had he not heard his bestie's name being called. The potions master turned to see the woman he could identify as the Headmistress of the school coming towards them. With her husband, both of which had been at Cosi and Vic's wedding along with him. "Good evening," Nigel greeted the two of them simply.
