At least she wasn't the first to arrive, The headmistress was there..and oh she loved that dress..it was nice and so was Gemma, Medea and Leo...ah Leo. He was looking pretty down, too bad she didn't sit next to him. After the feast she'd try cheering him up, right now she wanted to sit and have a glass of water and student watch. It wasn't too late to take some last minute points after all.

Pulling her slivery sparkling robes up over her black dress, she shift pass the ghost and took her seat.

"Good evening." She announced to the table.
It wasn't a moment later did Sophia join them; more specifically, the seat right next to hers. Noooo, Medea didn't just take a sip of her water only to move it to the other side of her plate, away from the Charms professor. Ahem. Nope. "Good evening, Sophia." she said quietly in return.

"I've been busy getting final marks finished what have you done since the big mess with the plant and the Library?"
Thankfully, the awkwardness she felt, having been increased by a thousand once Sophia had sat down, dwindled a little when Callie arrived. "Impatient for it, really." she mustered up a smile. Although, unlike her friend, she finished marking homework and whatnot earlier than she'd anticipated. What had she been doing? "Drawing." Like usual when she had a lot to think about or upset.

Putting down her spoon, since she had company to keep her attention now, Medea leaned towards Callie a little, voice lowering. "You know, my offer still stands. If you...need somewhere to go."

They all had their designated places and if anyone took the wrong seat it turned into a scene like for the late Astronomy professor at the beginning of the year.

May she rest in piece.
Leaning forward a little more and looking past the line of Professors, she smiled over to Leo, giving a small wave of her own. "Hello Leo!" she called back. Goodness, she'd have to go and see how the library was coming along before leaving the castle. Perhaps give some last minute assistance.

And she felt slightly saddened that Ravenclaw had only gotten second by a sheer margin. As much as she had disliked Quidditch when she was a student and even in her first couple years on staff, she was going to miss the man. He was a Hogwarts icon.

With a heavy heart, she dressed for the evening, making sure to carefully represent both houses that evening in her attire. But as she entered the Great Hall and made her way among the student tables - smiling brightly at her Hufflepuffs - she frowned when she arrived at the staff dais. Why were most of the staff wearing black? Had she missed some sort of memo? And then with a sinking realization, she sighed as she realized she would once more be seated next to not just one empty seat, but two. It didn't matter that the house ghosts were gathered at that end of the departed. That was her end. And she didn't want to sit there.

Instead, she just stood there, at the end of the dais, looking between her colleagues and the student tables, wondering if the Headmistress would notice if she slipped among the student tables. Wondering if perhaps in black, she would have blended in more ...
Sitting back in her seat, it wasn't hard to notice the...bright colors. Nor the fact that Josephina was just standing there, though the reason why didn't sink it until a moment later. At least, she thought the reason was...the reason she was thinking of. Oh Merlin. What a situation that was...

Waving towards the Arithmancy professor, in hopes of getting her attention, Medea gestured to the small space between her and Callie. Hmmm? Scoot her chair over here? They could make room.
