"Hello," he turned toward the woman beside him, who was unfortunately not sitting on his other side. Had she been to his right, she could have functioned as some sort of human shield... but alas.....

WHOA WAIT. Will did a double take. Was that....? No, it couldn't be. "Thea?" he muttered in surprise. "Well I'll be!"
Was it just her or did it seem like all the new staff people knew each other already? Had there been some mandatory gathering over the summer that she missed the memo about? Or perhaps they were just truly extroverts on every level.

Death threats? She looked from the gentlemen two seats down to the one next to her. And back to the other one.

"Hello," she greeted back, when he finally acknowledged her. Where was Edvard though? He should be sitting between them, and she was sure the extra person between him and the other guy would aide in subsiding their childish behaviors. "Josephina Hadley, Arithmancy Professor." Just because he didn't have the decency to introduce himself, didn't mean she would follow suit.

That didn't taste right. Dash made a face. It tasted a bit like...soap. "Magic might work best you know." He said addressing Seren, as he looked into his goblet with the weird tasting water.

His holiday? "It was...eventful." To say the least. "Yours?"

And of course a civil conversation could got go on with William Williamson at the staff table. He shook his head at the interesting noise Oliver's chair had just produced.

Before he could say anything about it Dash let out a loud burp. As the burp escaped out of his mouth came a large pink bubble shaped exactly like a bunny rabbit.
That was when she heard it. First there was the farting noises next to her and now a BURP?? But only this one wasn't from new staff person. Dash?

Honestly. Shaking her head at him and his pink bunny rabbit, she sighed. Would these boys ever grow up? She barely knew them, but with their bodily noises, she wished it was even less.

"Don't worry, I didn't touch yours." He glanced at her goblet for a moment before returning his gaze to the woman. "Well I don't think I did...all the goblets look the same." Bwhaha!

He extended his hand towards her. Probably not the best idea to alienate all the staff members at once. "Oliver Jenkins."

But as soon as he saw his friend start to talking to Thea however, well Oliver changed his mind and decided to actually DO something. He drew his wand out and with a nice 'swish and flick' he levitated William's goblet of pumpkin juice to the edge of the table and then deftly dumped the contents onto his friend's lap.
Did he just admit to poisoning the healer? Fina stared back at the fellow for a moment and shook her head, hoping to Merlin he was kidding or just messing with her.

"Good. Because I think it'd be a pity to poison a total stranger's drink." You should at least wait to exchange names and then decide to poison them depending on if you've heard of their name or not. WAIT! What? Spitting her water back into her goblet, she frowned. "Well thanks for that. I'm not thirsty anymore." She wasn't taking chances.

A glance toward the Hufflepuff table and some loud commotions from first years told her she might be needed.

"Josephina Hadley." Wait. Did him sitting there mean that the Runes position had actually been filled? She had actually grown accustomed to the chair on the end being vacant during feasts. Not that she minded the company.

Even if he did have some sort of . . . vendetta with the other guy, as he dumped the guy's juice on his lap. Just in time for Fina to catch the Headmaster take seat from the corner of her eye.

Neither of his nearest neighbors were yet at their seats, and Tate nodded politely to Seren and Althea a few seats down on each side. Hmm. His stomach was growling. Short speech on the menu.
He was several seats away, but with all the childish banter going around the staff table, she was sure she could catch a word. Glancing sideways down the table, she gave him a brief nod.

"I didn't know hiring children was on the agenda." Honestly, some of the students acted more mature than what she'd seen thus far. "How was your break, Headmaster?"
