Was that a comment on how she had looked all last year? Anastasia's eyes narrowed at the Hufflepuff female prefect, briefly, but she returned the girl's greeting anyway.
"Miss Robertser... Mr. Bolton, Miss Somerlad... Mr. Kinsley..." When had he slipped in? She had polite, reserved smiles for all of them, but didn't intrude on their compartment long. Alexa was going to pass out chocolate chip cookies to them all anyway, yes? Yes? Good. Quote:

He had people to make proud.
Slipping between the people, who he had seen way too much of over the summer, he plopped down in his seat. "Hey Y'all" he said, before even noticing the Headmistress was there. "Er, um, Hello Ma'am." He said wondering what she was doing there. Professors didn't ride on the train did they? Quote:

"...?" He'd just got comfortable though. And his bro had joined him. West gave Theo a fistbump and grinned over at Cassia, for reasons, and then shot another puzzled look at the headmistress...
...? Now? What? Why? West shrugged. "Sure, Ma'am."
He stood up.... wait. Wait. Had someone died? Mo and him WERE related to the same people... HAD SOMEONE DIED? He gave Mo a slightly alarmed look and headed out, following the headmistress to his doom to find out what was going on. Quote:

And he couldn't even warn her off them in front of the Headmistress.
Who apparently wanted a private chat? Mo exchanged glances with West, just a flash of concern and wariness, before he shrugged and gestured at the door. "Sure, Headmistress. Lead the way." Maybe he was getting a medal. Mo had no idea what for, but he just really fancied the idea of getting a medal right about now. "Kaiden, come with me," she grabbed his elbow to get his attention and then led him and the other two boys into a nearby compartment, which was thankfully empty. The Headmistress gestured that West, Mo, and Kaiden should have a seat, and closed the door to the compartment while she did.
Now. How to say this.... best to just launch into it. She took a breath and made eye contact with all three of them. No more polite smiles and cookies to soften the blow.
"Boys, Quidditch has been cancelled at Hogwarts this school year. We have had a very serious threat on the school and on the youth playing the sport, so I am saddened to report that we no longer require your services as House Captains. I have to respectfully request that you turn your badges in to your Heads of House upon your arrival to the school."
There was a pause, during which the Headmistress reached into her pocket and produced a shiny, golden Hufflepuff Prefect badge. "Mr. Yarborough, we did have an opening in leadership in your House," since his Prefect and Head Boy had graduated, "and Professor Hadley has requested that I give you this. If you will accept, of course. My sincerest apologies to you, Mr. Odessa, and you, Mr. Branxton, that we do not have positions for you as well."
