"First of all, Cece," the Headmistress snapped out of her zone when the Healer OF COURSE piped up, "THANK YOU for demonstrating how NOT to address someone for young Mr. Hirase here." She turned her head toward the Healer to give her a cold, level stare. Annie had honestly had enough of Tillstorm's sass for this school year, and she was not about to be told how to discipline a student at HER school and HER feast.
Discipline had always been one of Annie's strengths.
"Secondly," oh no, Healer, she wasn't finished with you yet, "Kevin is seated here as part of his detention. He has lost the privileges to sit with his Housemates and cause trouble over there. So, his behavior at this feast will indicate to me how he will be starting next school... or IF he will be starting it at all. I will thank you NOT to jump to conclusions on MY policies in the future and kindly keep your opinions to yourself."
Privately, she was quite proud of how Kevin had winked at the woman and all that. It was hilarious to watch. But, publicly, the redhead had to maintain a cold and stoic expression. So with her last remark, the Headmistress turned her nose up at the woman and instead focused on the other side of the table, where the astronut was in hysterics yet again.
She did, however, mutter toward Kevin since he was sitting on that side of her and she was certain the Healer wouldn't hear: "Watch it, Hirase."
"Cassie," she calmly greeted the Divination professor, even giving the woman a smile for her compliment, "thank you! I hope you enjoyed your first ter---- AWWW, are those YOUR baby kitties?!!" SEH CUTE. SEH CUTE. And carrying them with her in a travel purse? GENIUS!!!!!!
Annie would have leaned past Kevin to pet the kitties on any other occasion, but since she was getting hungry, it was high time to start this feast. She cleared her throat loudly and sent a LOOK to Flamsteed, along with a low, "Get back in your seat," hissed reprimand. Because he needed it.
Then she stood and smoothed out her dress, moving along the dais to give her short and sweet speech.
"Good evening," the Headmistress' magnified voice echoed across the Great Hall. "Welcome to the conclusion of another successful term. Obviously we have had to weather a few odd circumstances," ha ha punny, right? "But rest assured that the rest of the wizarding world is fully enjoying their June, and after tonight, you will be too." She faked a smile for the students.
"As always, we have a few goodbyes to say this term, some to our friends, some to our departing professors, but we also have a few congratulations! Congratulations go out to Gryffindor on their successfully winning the House Cup, and to Slytherin on winning the Gobstones Cup. Congratulations to us ALL, also, as no one died or aged this term."
She almost said 'or was injured' but a glance at the staff table reminded her that that wasn't true. So, with those announcements, Bunz led the tables in a round of applause.
"One final announcement: please be careful going out to the carriages, and seventh years, if I were you, I wouldn't risk being bold and stupid and taking the boats across the icy lake to the train station. Just take a carriage. It's still cold outside, WE KNOW, but we're working on it."
And that was that. Speech given, the food had appeared and the Headmistress hurried back to her seat to grab something warm.
