Summner could not be over already. Healer Murdoch was not ready to be away from her husband so soon. They had just returned from their honeymoon a few days ago and now here she was, back at Hogwarts and he was off to shoot another wildlife film on location somewhere in Africa. Sure, things had been like this with them for the past four years, but now, well now they were married and she just wasn't ready to give up her time with her husband. Yeah, she would never get tired of the sound of that. Her husband.

Playing with the rings on her finger she made her way to the staff table and sat in her usual seat. It looked as if almost all the staff were there already minus a few from her end of the table. Of course there was once again a new groundskeeper sitting to her right. "Hello." Short man. This sure was a nice change. Not having that giant of a groundskeeper invading her space anymore. Too bad it wasn't her husband sitting next to her again. Now that's one groundskeeper she would happily let invade her space. But alas, he was off in Africa.

And then there was Professor Flamsteed standing with the headmistress. "Good evening Airey. Congratulations again on becoming the new head of house for those lions. Too bad your first year as head of house will be tarnished with your lions losing that house cup they stole from my snakes last term."

Yeah, it was safe to say Cece was not going to let her snakes be cheated out of that cup again this term.
