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.
She was still attempting to stiffle a giggle when Tate joined their ranks... why on Earth did he think it was a good idea to hire these... boys, was beyond her. Regardless, she offered him a small smile and a nod.
SPOILER!!: Presley

In her attempt to ignore the chaos ensuing from the new staff members, Seren turned in time to see Presley skipping past the staff table. Returning a bright smile and a wave, Seren couldn't help but feel a fluttering sensation in her stomach.
Ravenclaws...
A part of her felt at ease with the situation, but the majority of her felt conflicted and tormented. The one thing that kept her sane was the fact that she cared about all the students equally... houses didn't matter.
SPOILER!!: Beatrice

Yes, engagement. Though, she was not certain if it was true.
Moving on, Beezus arrived at the Staff Table and she quickly proceeded to where the Potions Mistress was. Bowing, she said, "Professor Lafay. Good to see you this term." And a wide smile. "Oh. And I hope the Snakes would do their best to win the cup again this term." She added. That was the bitter part, that was the part of the dare which she did not like very much.
But so much for that. That ring was really trying to catch her eye. "Errr, Professor.." Beezus started. The ring? Is that an engagement ring? Are you really engaged? Come on Beezus, ask her that! "Uhm...have a great meal." She said instead and quickly diverted her attention to the Herbology Professor. "Hi Professor Seren!"
Having spotted yet another Ravenclaw, Seren took up her cup and drank deeply. Where they doing this to her on purpose?
She hadn't caught a single word of what was exchanged between Beatrice and Lafay, in fact she was rather relieved at the prospect of not having to be confronted just yet... but that soon changed.
Placing her now empty tea cup back on the table, Seren gave Beatrice a small smile and a nod of the head.
"Hello dear, enjoyed your holidays?" she asked.
