Minerva walked into the great hall with a big smile across her face. She was back at school, back with her friends, and she was more then thrilled now that she was here. She glanced at the claw table seeing Ethan already there. She would hopefully talk to him later, but she wasn't going to keep him from his friends. So moving to her table she looked around at the ones that were already there.

Hey Alec" She gave him a hug, "Thanks for the talk on the train, you really helped." She gave him a little wink. Yes she had been a little sad, but he, just as a little brother would he helped and she felt better for it. Moving on she was finally going to speak to Ella after just waving at her friend a few times. "Ella or should I say captain. Congrats on the badge, you are going to make an amazing captain. Our team is going to be great this term and you are going to be an amazing leader. I didn't realize a few terms ago when you were asking if you should tryout you were going to be a captain one day. I am so proud. This is amazing." Her little badgers were growing up and they were just amazing.

Looking down she saw the table and frowned, what was going on.. what was the problem with the dishes. Did the little house elves finally go on strike or something? Hmm this was interesting. Sighing she looked up and saw Nessie smiling she walked over to the girl and gave her a hug, "Nessie, congrats on the Head Girl, this is just amazing. Are you excited?" It was excited, well Minerva thought it was at least. She knew Nessie would do a great job.

Oh and look there was a girl she saw last term, but wasn't sure of her name ([Lotus]though, "Hello, how are you? Glad to be back? I'm Minerva." Well she knew it was a quick introduction, but she really did want to get to know the girl. Then her eyes landed on Blissy, Minerva smiled "Blissy" she hugged the fourth year, "How was your summer? I've missed you!"
