THANKS PAL. REALLY. THANKS.

Oliver was SO going to be dead by the end of the night... better check his sheets for a lethifold before he went to bed...

"what sports and where?" she asked knowing that she would be able to learn where he was from by what sports he played...plus she was interested in what level he considered professional...
Oliver deftly ignored the glares he was getting from his friend. Oh it was alright for William to pull a prank on him but he didn't like it when the tables were turned.

And seriously what did he have to complain about? He had Thea, nursing his ego. Oliver wouldn't mind being in his friend's spot right now.

The Muggle Studies professor was flirting with him. The night was looking up. Leaning forward, Oliver gave her a charming smile. "I don't mind. Oliver, Olly, OJ, whatever you like."

Goodness, she was a hard one to keep up with. "Surfing mainly. But I've tried my hand at a few other things. You could swing by my office, I have some books in there." There was just far too much to go over here at the feast.

Why would the Runes professor have interest in harming the Healer, was beyond her.

"You take it well," she said, scooping some potatoes and rice onto her plate now. "Arithmancy Professor, Hufflepuff House Head, and Gobstones Advisor."

"Runes though. Tough subject."
"Did I say that?" No he was pretty sure that he had not said that he had poisoned the Healer. "But just to clarify, no I didn't. I know her." Oliver chuckled and then inclined his head towards Cece. "She'll only be out for a few minutes." Then maybe she might be nicer to him.

Oliver raised his eyebrows and there was a hint of a smirk playing on his lips. "Very impressive." That was totally something you wanted on your CV. "Not so tough." he said with a shrug of his shoulders. "I like to dabble in other forms of magic. Divination is another favourite of mine." He looked at the food on the table and picked up a bowl of potatoes and put some on his plate.

"So if you had to pick any other subject to teach, what would it be?"



SPOILER!!: Kurumi

Stepping away from her lions for just a moment, Kurumi made her way to the staff table with a medium sized box in her hands. She had tried something a little different this term with her cookies and had gone with a silly sculpture method along with some small cakes. Nothing too fancy since she had assumed that the house elves had everything back in tip top condition and didn't want to have anything that would take away from what she HOPED would be a delicious feast. The tables had been clean, so that was a start to be sure.

The Headmaster had mentioned that Nimma would be making her appearance as well, which was perfect since Kurumi wanted to see if she actually wanted or needed the help that Headmaster Tate had assigned the prefect to at the end of last term. Summer was a long time and she hoped that the baby house elf had grown and matured enough to not go on kleptomaniac sprees through the castle.

Starting at one end of the table with an unfamiliar face (Professor Jenkins) beside the familiar one of Professor Hadley, Kurumi bowed to this section of the table. "Good evening, Professor Hadley," Kurumi smiled as she reached into her medium sized box for some smaller ones containing the results of her experimentation and her brothers' dare and a small cake. "And...welcome to Hogwarts, professor."

Her gaze and box giving continued, bringing her to stop in front of Professor Roslund. "I hope you enjoyed the train ride, Professor Roslund," she said, eyeing him slightly and glancing at Professor Schirmer. The two sandwiched a new professor the one who looked like he liked hugging trees and she bowed to them all before handing out a box to each. There was another new professor beside the Charms professor, and Kurumi offered her another bow with a smile before setting a small box in front of her as well. "Good evening and welcome to Hogwarts," she said to those new faces. "My name is Kurumi Hollingberry."

Moving along to Professor Vindictus and the Headmaster himself, Kurumi set the boxes out on the table and greeted them both. "Good evening," she said with a slight hint of nervousness. Vindictus always did intimidate her, so she didn't linger too long and headed towards Professor Bentley, passing two more unfamiliar faces as she did with a brief greeting and introduction of herself.

FINALLY she found herself in front of Professor Bentley, her new Head of House. While Kurumi had already said her congratulations in an owl over the summer, it deserved being said again. "Professor Bentley! I suppose that I can now officially welcome you to Gryffindor," she giggled, setting a box in front of her. "I am really looking forward to working with you this term and already have a few things I would like to run by you, at a later date of course." She was bubbling on the inside with excitement. She really couldn't wait for the term to get rolling. Kurumi was also concerned about that plant she had saved...it was acting strangely and had the odd habit of trying to pull all of Walnut's fur out with its little leafy stem-arms.

Kurumi froze for a moment, before hastily putting a box in front of Professor Scabior. "Professor Scabior, I am looking forward to attending your lessons this term." LIES sort of, but it wasn't because of the subject matter...he was just scary.

Now reaching the end of the table, all three women with familiar faces, Kurumi set her wrapped sweets down and bowed once to each of them. "Professor Cerulean, Professor Lafay, Professor Magnus, I am looking forward to another term with you."


Oliver's gaze immediately fell on the badge the girl was wearing and his nostrils flared slightly as he inhaled deeply. A Prefect. He supposed now that he was a Professor, he was going to have to be nice to the Prefects.

Oh how he, Willy and Waylan used to give the Prefcts such a hard time when they had been at school. "Thank you Miss Hollingberry." He looked at the cake she had put forward and then looked back at the young girl. "You didn't spit in it did you?" Because if she had then he would give it to Waylan. That man would eat anything.
