Silvia turned her attention away from the House Elves and back up to the staff table where the new Headmistress was continuing her speech. She had read about the Board of Governors playing a larger role at Hogwarts this year, but the paper hadn't really been clear about just what was in the works. And now the Headmistress confirmed it and stated there would be changes. She wondered just what sort of changes they would be. Silvia thought there was nothing wrong with the way the school was run. Sure, there was the incident with the magical creatures her first year, and the time-freezing thing last year, but those things were mostly out of their control, and it wasn't like the professors didn't do anything to address the matter. She wondered if these changes really would stop the chaos that Hogwarts was known for. It would be nice to have a normal year for a change, one in which they could concentrate on learning and not have freezing students interrupting class time.

But it seemed that the Headmistress was going to put off telling them about the changes until later, which was actually a good thing, seeing as it meant they could finally eat! Silvia immediately began to fill her plate; she would ponder over what the Headmistress had said in the morning when she had rested. She was probably overthinking things as usual anyways. They would surely find out what those changes would be soon enough, and she hoped that they really would improve Hogwarts. But right now, all that mattered was the feast and having a good time.
