He teased with a small grin before reaching for his yet-to-be-filled cup and pouring pumpkin juice into it.
Noticing her greeting directed at Kimber Jeremy smiled at Isabelle and leaned back slightly in his seat so the two women could look at one another for a moment before feeling the need to make introductions he said, "Oh, this is Kimber. She's the librarian and one of my closest friends." His closest friend actually. "And this is Isabelle, she's teaching...erm...Transfiguration, was it?" She certainly was sitting in Preston's seat.
Right, that day. With a small half-hearted roll of his hazel eyes he heaved a small sigh, but grinned at Isabelle nonetheless. "Oh yes, I did. They arrived shortly after you'd left. She'd dragged our brother off to Madam Malkin's where he finally had to take her purse away from her to keep her from buying the whole shop." And he wasn't even exaggerating. Much.

Heh. She had been serious, she generally was about her fashion, but now she heard Jeremy say the words back to her, the comment on punishment seemed rather silly. And of course, that made her laugh. Shaking her head, she grinned in his direction.
"Unfortunately not. But at least it will remind me not to wear them again. For a while at least." Because you could bet she wasn't going to let them get the better of her. Some sort of cushioning charm would do the trick.
Ahh there, she could see her better now. How thoughtful of Jeremy to move slightly. She gave him a nod of thanks and continued her smile towards...Kimber?
"Nice to meet you, Kimber." And it was. Only the second person at the whole table she had spoken to. She would also have offered to shake the woman's hand, but doing it across someone else would probably seem a bit rude.
"Transfiguration, yes," she smiled, answering just before taking another gulp from her goblet. Why was her mouth so dry today?
An unladylike snort would have escaped her mouth, had she not been a lady. *innocent smile* Instead Isabelle stifled it behind her hand. And tried not to let it show.
"Well I can vouch for the fact Madam Malkin's is a dangerous shop for a woman with a full purse. Luckily I had the husband equivalent of your brother to give me a glare last time I was in there." And it wasn't even her she was buying for.
"I hope he made it out intact?" she asked, eyes sparkling cheekily.

"Howzit, I'm Satine Farris, Sixth Year Ravenclaw. I wanted to sneak up here quickly just to say welcome back to those returning," she said nodding her heads at the professor's returning, "and welcome to Hogwarts to the new professors." she said with her sparkling smile.
She reached in her bag and pulled out a purple coffee cup full of various colors of licorice wands wrapped in clear plastic. "I love love love licorice wands so I put together a coffee cup of different flavors of licorice wands for each one of you to start the year off great." she thought she saw one of their faces squash when she said purple coffee cups. "O and if purple isn't your fave color, no worries...the cups are enchanted to change to your fave color when you touch them." she said with a little nod
Ohh hello there child with sweets. The voice, and mention of liquorice, momentarily distracted her from the conversation with Jeremy and Kimber.
Satine...sixth year...Ravenclaw...right. Isabelle made a mental note of the girl's name. It would help to know a few of the kids before class started, even if she did have a plan to help her with that during it.
"Lovely to meet you, Miss Farris. Thank you for the welcome." Issy leant forward slightly, so she could see better over the table, and so Satine could see her smile.
"I'm Professor Magnus. Transfiguration." Simple and to the point.
"Oh how lovely, thank you very much." Issy gently took one of the cups and placed it front of her on the table. THAT would be for after dinner had been consumed. Although it was so pretty to look at, she was having second thoughts about eating them at all. They'd look lovely as decoration on the end of her desk.
"I hope you have a good term, Miss Farris. And I also hope that I shall be seeing you in class, yes?" Issy smiled and laced her fingers together. Wouldn't it be nice if all the kids were this....nice.
