You'll love her." Because who didn't really? Only two times? She was joking, right? Oh yes, a wink. Joking. "I will try not to use up my quota, Josephina." Maybe if she kept saying her name she wouldn't have to forget at all? Just in case that two times thing wasn't a joke.
"Yes indeed. Although I have been officiating for the European League quite awhile now, so only new in the sense that I've not done it for Hogwarts before." Just in case she was worried Tiara was incompetent. "But thank you, I may need that luck starting out here since I don't really know anyone yet. And for everyone's sake I hope that I love all of the Captains, not just Miss Bishop! But it's good to know at least one of the four isn't a stinker." Text Cut: Wade Quote:

Since well, he never before had to address the whole staff at once, especially at the beginning of the year. This wasn't stopping him though, as he now stood before them. Oh, and hello there Lexi Pexi. He grinned and nodded a little at her while waiting as she had her say.
" Hello.. That was a lovely speech." Wade kept his best smile at them all, " Erm.. I first wanted to just say hello and a big congratulations to the new Professors and new positions happening." Hopefully that covered everyone, as he looked at them individually while speaking." and well, I really appreciate you Professor Bunbury and Professor Hadley for choosing me to serve as Head Boy this term. Thanks so much." Now was the time for the ahem, gift. The box of gifts was pretty large, so he had to bend down to open it revealing-" So, I got these delicious pickles as an extra thank you." Holding one of the many jars before setting it down on the table one by one passing them to everyone. " I hope you all like them, they're large, fresh, thick, juicy, and great for snacking and meal times. Oh, and very nutritious too!" Wade continued beaming. They were special to Wade, these pickles, having got them himself and he just loved sharing his pickles. He then waited their reaction. I hope they like it. Whether they decide to taste them now or save for later.
Ah, the Head Boy! She should probably at least make his acquaintance. Tiara inclined her head when he greeted the new staff members, but she was wondering what exactly was in that very large box. PICKLES? How odd! Perhaps the boy lived on a cucumber farm? Despite her complete incomprehension at the choice of gift, she still managed a polite " Thank you," when he set one in front of her. What an interesting lad. Quote:

American, yes, even though she'd lived in Great Britain for so long now. "Yes, I am. Upstate New York to be exact. I moved here after I graduated and went to Wizarding University in Edinburgh and have been here ever since." So she could be counted as an honorary Brit, right? She still had the New England accent though. "A fly every now and then might be nice, thanks for the offer." Callie pat the woman on the shoulder with another smile. She liked her, a good, kind lady to try and fill Erin's shoes. Tiara nodded. Indeed, it had already made her recall several memories from her four years here. And what wonderful years they were! "I must confess I've never been to America, though I would love to go some time." It was such a vast place, and there was so much to see. "Ah yes, Edinburgh. A wonderful city! The perfect mix of heritage and modernity." Climbing up Calton Hill had yielded one of her favorite views of all time. A nice reward for the physical exertion.
She smiled. "Any time! And if I'm not in the office I'm probably at home in Hogsmeade, so it's no trouble to pop right over."
