Firth just got stranger and stranger every time she seen him.

"I wouldn't say I was hoping you wouldn't return, more like I was expecting you not to return." It was like that position was cursed or something. In four years there had been three different groundskeepers.

..........

Her thoughts were pulled away from the man seated a few seats from her when the one to her right started yelling.

"Really Alistaire, yelling down the table like a love sick teenager." Yeah, she noticed how he seemed to perk up when the new CoMC professor walked in.


Why is she staring? Did he have something in his beard? He surreptitiously ran his fingers through the hair but felt nothing. She must just be having a moment, likely trying to figure out how to best answer the question.

Expecting? "Ah, I see. Maybe yeh heard some rumors a' the end o' term? Jus' ter be clear, I was NOT responsible for my cattle endin' up in Annie's study, an' she's well aware of that." He felt the need to set the record straight with every person he could.

And then she was berating him like he was a student--a CHILD. "I'm jus' tryin' ter be friendly. She's the only new staff member I know, and i's always nice ter feel welcomed." He remembered his first Feast last year, stuck between Annie and Cece. A friendly welcome from someone he knew would have been most appreciated.

Wait wait, did he just offer to sell the precious offspring of his two fat, poopy cattle?! "You know what, Mr. Firth, that might just be the most brilliant thing you've said all evening," she decided quite brightly. "I'll hold you to that offer. I'm sure Hogwarts and even the grounds in particular could use those funds for improvement. Excellent idea."
She looked pained as he began his explanation of his idea. But to his surprise, the further he explained, the less sour she looked. Actually, she looks pleased! he thought as he finished. But... most brilliant? "Excellent! I'll be lookin' fer buyers, then. The birth won' be for a few months, mos' likely. Tha' should give me plenty o' time." She was right, the Grounds could definitely use some funding for improvements.

Ali smiled at his friend. They really needed to get together more this year now that he had a handle on the job. Leo appeared to be in much better spirits than he was at the last feast, which was a definite plus. "[B]Yeah, Bartholomew had his work cut out f'r him las' year. Bu' this year's group was far less... rambunctious.

Oh, books on cattle? Count him in! "O' course! Bring them on down whenever yeh get a chance!"
