His next answer made it clear that he was eager to meet all the teachers so Louisa took the liberity of briefly introducing the staff for him, "Yes. The one sitting on the big chair is professor Tate. He looked even better when he's not... like this." He looked a bit grumpy. "The woman with dark hair and stern face is professor Lafay. She's the Potions mistress. She's a very good teacher." Louisa didn't care about anything that concerned teachers other than their professionalism. It was what connected students to teachers, right? So she had no interest in their personality whatsoever. "Let me see who else I know.. Oh! You see that lady sitting at the staff table and trying to hold a serious, careless attitude? That's Madam Donovan, the Librarian. I like her." Louisa added unnecessarily. The lady lived with books so how would Louisa not like her? Really? "Remember what I told you about the spirits before? Well, she's the star." Giggling at her choose of words, Louisa continued to stare and try to see any other teachers she knew.

"The blonde one to the right is professor Hadley the arthimancy professor. Very good and can be a bit enthusiastic about numbers." Louisa made a face before adding, "I don't really like the subject. It's boring." Yep, down right honest. "The beautiful blonde lady.." She inclined her head to one end of the staff table instead of pointing with her finger, "..is professor Bentley. She teaches Herbology and makes it a very interesting subject. I like the way she takes care of her skin, too." She added as an afterthought. "Professor Cerulean is next. She teaches Muggle Studies." Louisa's and Adam's -probably- easiest subject, "The homework she gives is very fun to do." Taking one more overall glance before leaning back, "Those are the ones from last year. The rest are new."


Adam gave a nod of the head. He felt bad that Louisa was in a point of her life where she felt like she needed her studies to distract her from everything else. He gave her an empathetic smile. "Well studying is definitely a better and more useful strategy to distract yourself than some other ones." Of course Adam found reading to be his escape from things too, so he couldn't really relate to people that used other kinds of distractions...

Adam followed Louisa's gaze as she pointed out the various Professors sitting at the table. Adam had to admit the headmaster did look a little grumpy, but he couldn't blame the guy. He probably would be grumpy too if he were in the same situation. Next was Professor Lafay who Adam definitely thought was a no nonsense kind of person. "She's looks like she's a no nonsense kind of person, but that can be good in a learning environment," Adam said, before moving his eyes to the next Professor that Louisa pointed out. He could definitely see how that woman would be a librarian...she definitely had an air about her that screamed "I enjoy being around books." "I guess I'll be seeing a lot of her then," Adam said with a little smirk. O.W.L. studying here he comes!

Adam smiled slightly when Louisa pointed her out as also being the star of the spirits...well, he was glad it hadn't stopped her from coming back to the school because he knew some professors that an incident like that would have made them flee from the place. After one last glance at Madam Donovan, Adam moved his gaze to Professor Hadley who Adam had to admit he thought was very attractive. "Numbers....not really my thing," Adam said with a little shake of the head. When Louisa pointed out the Herbology professor Adam gave Louisa a little smile. "She actually looks a lot like a Herbology professor I had at one of my schools back in the states. Although...that professor was a bit...well...a little too attached to the plants...kind of in an unhealthy way," Adam said with a little frown. Maybe Professor Bentley would be different.

And last but not least Adam looked at the Muggle Studies Professor...she looked nice enough. "I've actually never taken a Muggle Studies class before," Adam said with a little shrug of the shoulders. "It seemed kind of...unfair given the circumstances." Seeing as Adam had to pretend that he was a muggle pretty much every time he was home he knew first hand what it mean to be a muggle living in a muggle world.

"They seem harmless enough," Adam said with a little smile before shifting his glance to his newly cleaned goblet. He took another swig of his water, realizing that it tasted much better than the sip he had taken from his other goblet.
