OH? Hufflepuff Head of House say what?
"Muggle Studies? Did you just say Muggle Studies?" he asked, his eyes glancing towards the OTHER end of the table where there was an empty seat waiting for her. A NEW seat. A seat that was not currently occupied by the Kirk to his Spock. "I don't think you will be needed two seats, Josephina," he grinned. "And surely you would not want to leave one of your new colleagues without his seat, yes?"
He gave Tiberius a soft jab to the side. Hold your ground, Captain, and play along!
"But, before you head to your shiny new seat, take one of these," he said as he handed her a poster. Surely she could appreciate a pet rock. Big muggle vintage item you know. Sayyyyyyyy whattt?!? This man WAS her replacement?! OH for the love of Pythagoras, what HAS Anastasia come to?! There was NO way that this man could be taking over her office. Her classroom. She wouldn't have it. And there was certainly no way she would be giving up HER seat for HIM. "Yes, I know I'm there..." she glanced towards there, and momentarily cringed as she realized who her new seating partner would be. "And I don't mind it, really, I don't, but I need my seat. See, the thing is I've always used that seat, for 10 years. Every meal. So, well, all I want to do is just... switch the chairs." Mmhm. He could totally sit in that spot, just, the seat was hers. Attachment issues? Definitely. "So like... just a quick switch? It won't take more than a moment."
Taking the paper from Airey about the pet rock, she nodded about its contents and folded it neatly in half, before placing it in her bag. Quote:

"We will have to catch up this week, talk about our summers and such." Being fellow Heads of Houses and what not. hehe. "Callie! I'll definitely miss this side, no doubt!" Fina gave the younger woman a sad smile. It was the truth, too. Considering her new meal partner. "But yes, we shall definitely have to catch up! It's been an exciting summer, for sure. Congrats on the new position, by the way!" Even though her badgers were more awesome, eagles weren't too bad....But then again, she was kinda in a relationship with one, so yea.
Speaking of that side of the table... SPOILER!!: Prefect, Healer, and Potions Mistress Quote:

It was great seeing her head of house whom she looked up to for so many terms now. She felt she could breath a little easier seeing the woman standing there. That meant she didn't not leave the school for something different over the summer like a few of her other favorites had in the past. "Oh yes I was given that badge over the summer." She smiled and showed her badge on her robes. "and I would like to thank you and the Headmistress for giving me this opportunity to lead our fellow badgers along side of Kitty.. I mean Wade. We won't let either of you down." She blushed saying Kitty, maybe she should stop using his nickname so much. "As I was telling the headmistress ma'am Healer Tillstorm will be expecting me up here. She will want to know a few things about my summer since she was one of the biggest reasons for them." Yes that was her story for now. When Tillstorm came, she would have to wait and see what happened. Taking a deep breath the seventh year was starting to feel a bit sick with nerves that weren't there before. Her eyes glanced to Lafay's seat. As long as firing loving dragon lady stay away she felt she could keep pulling this off. Quote:

So maybe no one was yelling... but it sounded that way.
New people at the table... weren't there always?
She didn't even care at the moment to meet them... but when she turned to ask Cece to write her a note so maybe Truebridge would excuse her from the opening feast, she notices a new face in Cece's seat... What? No! Oh... wait. That was the Hufflepuff...
She heard Truebridge and Cece tell her to get out, but the girl was still sitting in the seat...
"Wheatborn." She said in a calm yet annoyed voice. Her eyes were closed and her fingers were pinching the bridge of her nose. "If you would like another detention for taking the healer's seat, I'd be delighted to take you to the dungeon's right now... I feel I was too soft on you last time, and I am itching to revisit that."
Her hand came off her nose, and her eyes fixed on the Hufflepuff girl. Her expression was clear. It read 'I dare you.' Fina turned back toward the commotion with her new prefect, and listened to her explanation. The healer KNEW she'd be up there?! Tilting her head, she was about to tell her that she doubted Cecelia would expect her up here in HER seat, when the woman herself showed up.
But then, as if it wasn't enough having the healer on her case, Hecate was sticking her nose up in other people's business. By other people, she meant those who didn't have anything to do with her, nor were in her house.
Taking a step towards that side of the table, so she didn't have to shout, but she still wanted to switch the chairs so she didn't go too far, she shook her head at all of them. "Prefect Wheatborn, I do believe there is a time and place to discuss such opportunities. And I'm sure Healer Tillstorm would love to sit down with you and I, sometime, and we can discuss such options." She paused, glancing down at the Hufflepuff table. "BUT, right now, the time and place for you should be at your house table, making the new first years feel welcome. So please, don't make me ask you twice." That wasn't a request, that was an order.

But back to the new colleague. "Salem. So are you an American, then?" How many 'foreigners' were on the staff? "Oh really? Well if you ever want to go for a little joy ride just let me know. I'd love to start getting to know my fellow staff members." And this woman--oh, Calista!--seemed to be the relational sort. "Well it's a pleasure to meet you, Calista." And she probably should introduce herself to some of the new co-workers. You know, be a good veteran professor. Starting with the flying professor. "Hello there, welcome to Hogwarts," Fina said, giving the woman a smile. "Josephina Hadley." No position, unless asked, because well, it felt weird still. Quote:

And felt quite old. "Yes, it is," she said, swiftly accepting this conversation. "But how long have you been here? I...had no idea." Not that she would know, it wasn't as if they exchanged owls or anything. But...a friend of a friend might have known...perhaps... Quote:

Wait... that professor... was too young to be a professor. Was that a student sitting up here?
Anyway... "This is my first here year, too. Teaching, that is." Which is what they were talking about. "I did some teaching at the Wizarding University in Athens recently, though." Those were good times, up until recently. But, uhh... he didn't mention that. And it seemed as if two old classmates had been hired; she remembered the last time time that happened. William, Waylon, and Oliver; which mostly just meant trouble. But seeing as it was a male and female this time, it should be better, yes? Except for the duo down by her old seat, that might be trouble too.
Giving the new charms and creatures professors a nice smile and placing one hand on each of their shoulders in the friendly sort of way, she greeted them warmly, "Hello there, welcome to Hogwarts. I'm Josephina Hadley."
