"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?"
"I try to keep my options open. I believe certain people are like potions ingredients. Innocuous on their own, but when you put them in the same cauldron and add heat... the reaction is always unexpected." Tate was probably going to have to knock some heads together in a moment, but he couldn't be bothered just yet.

"Good day. Perhaps you could wait until after the meal to greet the professors? We're not going anywhere."

She looked up at the headmaster and merely managed to smirk up at him.
"Professor Tate, I have been dared to sing you a song. So, lucky you, sir," she told him.She took a step back and deeply sighed before she began.
"Just a up town girl,
Living in a LONELY world!
Took the midnight plane, going ANYWHERE...
Just a city BOY!!
Born and raised in south Detroit ...
Took the midnight plane..."
And she finished the whole song, she didn't know all of the words,so she made up some. It was a beautiful performance. Or, it would have been if Elliot could sing...
But she couldn't . It was a miracle that the headmaster's ears weren't bleeding.
Elliot bowed to the headmaster politely and said, "Pleasure is all mine, sir," and she strolled back to the ravenclaw table. dare done!
One eyebrow went up, and Tate didn't respond until the song was finished. That was... painful. Worse then the serenading of Borr had ever been back in the day.
"I hate to make light of a dare, but you should watch you make promises to. This is certainly not the time or the place for such things. I suggest you come visit my office once the term begins." And she could convince him why he wasn't going to take house points.

Time to ignore the kiddos and their drama.
He leaned on his elbow and turned to Tate. "Enjoyable summer?"

"Alyssa, could you please return to your table? You can visit each professor in their office after the feast ends, and perhaps you might want to wait for Headmaster Tate's speech," Vindictus said rather firmly.
He then nodded at Minerva and his attention was now focused on a Gryffindor. "Perhaps you should return to the Gryffindor Table and you can visit Professor Bentley in her office after the feast is over," he said and his stomach growled.
Will Tate ever stand up and get the speech delivered so that they could eat?
"Your knickers are twisted extra tight today, mate. Kids running you ragged at home?" He gave the man a broad grin and refused to rise to the very very cranky expression on Max's face. Max was always wound tight.
"Give me a second." He leaned around and made eyes at his newest staff members: Williamson and Jenkins. They both got the extreme hairy eyeball.
"I will not hesitate to light your heads on fire if this childish behavior continues." EYEBALLS.
