But she was ecstatic nonetheless and for some bizarre reason she felt like she just wanted to stick her tongue out at a certain Everett Scabior, aka Dash, as often as she could during the feast. Mostly because her Hufflepuffs had done it. REALLY DONE it. And she was proud of every single one of them.
Which of course is why even as she took her customary seat near the end, the Arithmancy Professor had this ridiculous grin plastered onto her face. Hecate walked in and passed right by Fina, bumping into her chair and not excusing herself. AND THIS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT THE GREAT HALL WAS DECKED OUT IN PUKE YELLOW and the snakes were last...
*grumble*

What was with all the gold decorations too, huh? Was today National Mustard Day? Why hadn't anyone informed him about National Mustard Day?
Sitting down in his usual seat, though, seemed to reassure the Care of Magical Creatures professor some. He itched at the hat but left it on (one never knew when it might decide to snow in the hall, after all) and kept the sunglasses over his eyes as well. Crossing his feet at the ankles, Willy slumped down into his seat and frowned.
Why wasn't Olly here yet? Olly loved to eat even more than Willy did. Olly would know what month it was. He was reliable like that. Why was krup-boy here? Oh right... Colleague... Whatever... She wasn't going to acknowledge him either.

"
Maximus... A Cane? You?" Wasn't he an athlete? What had he done to himself?

Getting closer Edvard saw that Max, Josephina and William were already seated up there, two of them looking puzzled for some reason. The expression on Josephina's face was easier to read she was happy and proud. Slipping into his seat he turned to Josephina first "Good evening Fina. Congrat's on your houses trifecta victory. It has been a long time since Hufflepuff won all three titles right?"
Shifting his gaze to William he poked the COMC man slightly in the side "Evening William, is everything all right? You look like someone who has been pranked, but hasn't figured out how yet." Not that Edvard would ever prank anyone of his colleagues it wasn't in his nature.
"
Hello Edvard." She said with a nod. "
Your term has gone well, has it not?"

Smiling to the few already sitting at the table, though that hat William wore did get a curious look from her, she pulled out her own chair and sat down. Oh that felt good. Stretch her leeegs! This year had taken it's time to go by, but then again, it had gone faster than she expected. Though the pressure of the first year was finally lifted and she could breeaathe!
And rather ready for the night to start too!
"
Miss Romanos," She nodded to the woman. "
I trust your first term was a pleasant one."

"Hello everybody!" she greeted brightly making her way around and down the length of the table, pausing briefly to pat Fina on the shoulder,
"Congratulations on the spectacular wins." Yes.. wins, because Hufflepuff seemed to have inherited whatever it is the Snakes had the previous years, and so the three-peat... as some had called it, appeared as though it would be an on-going trend.
Taking her usual seat, Seren adjusted her pink rose head band. There was nothing like a lovely reed of flowers to brighten up ones day, or night for that matter. Pouring herself a tea, Seren leant back in her seat and smiled over at the Gryffindor table. Hopefully they wouldn't be getting up to any trouble just yet... or at all.
"
Bentley." She said in greeting and left that at that.

What's more she was so happy for Fina, the Huffies Head of House. So much so that, instead of going straight to her seat when she got to the staff dais, Isabelle wandered down the other end of the table, greeting her colleagues that had already sat down.
"Evening all. Edvard..." she smiled at him as she passed.
"Fina! Congratulations on the House Cup and everything else. You must be so proud of the Badgers." Isabelle lowered her voice slightly, so it didn't echo down the hall. Leaning forward she grinned at the woman and squeezed her arm.
Hecate sat in her seat and waited until Isabelle sat beside her and greeted her with a nod.
There. That's all she needed right? Dash wasn't here yet, and neither was Tate. She would have greeted the nurse as well, but she wasn't there either.
