Well, while her mind was on her crazy staff... Annie might as well give her speech. Everyone was present, everyone was hungry. Time to talk. She stood up and moved around gracefully to the front of the dais, where her little old podium was. She cleared her throat once, cast the sonorous charm, and began.
"Good evening, Hogwartians." Anastasia waited for their eyes to settle on her before continuing. "Welcome back to school. For those of you who are new this year, including our lovely new Potions, Care of Magical Creatures, and History of Magic professors, and our Groundskeeper, welcome welcome." She flashed everyone looking at her a brilliant smile.
"I'm sure you all will be pleased to learn that our school's winnings from last year's European Board of Wizarding Education Quiz Bowl Scholarship Competition have gone to good use. All of our previously repossessed furniture, greenhouse plants, astronomy equipment, quidditch brooms, and so on, have been fully returned. You will also be pleased to note the restoration of your House banners and your authentic, SCHOOL-OWNED silverware." She felt it necessary to emphasize that point. Just in case any goblins were out there, listening, who knew. Ahem.
"I have no further remarks at this time, except that I expect you all to have a warm and wonderful school year full of learning, good behavior, and friendship. Now, let us feast!"
With a dismissive, queen-like wave of her arm, delicious dishes full of food and gravy and pumpkin juice and all the yummy things Hogwarts is known for appeared on the House tables. Happy feasting time! The Headmistress returned to her seat.
