"So the sabbatical was good, but I'm ready to get back to work!" "Well I'm glad to hear that," Bunz nodded. One more staffer hardly even effected by the crazyness that always happened at Hogwarts... see? The school was fine. Back to work for Tiara, though... Annie had herself a sip of water. "We'll have to talk about your resuming your duties," she added in a low tone. "Did you... read the Prophet on your time off?"

Yep. Called it. She loved it. He could tell she was holding back using the L-word. Oh yeah, he was stellar at picking out gifts for people. Once he got over selection anxiety that is.
"This pleases me, Headmistress," he grinned. Well... okay then, that was a strange way to phrase things. Were they SURE the Astronut wasn't actually an alien, from a galaxy far, far away? Who had checked into that?
"Have a nice feast," she dismissed him with a polite smile, since he had moved on to talk to --- groan --- the Healer anyway.

He had to sit there? Right in the middle??? "Oh..." Ahem, just deal with it. "Right... lovely." The small man slipped behind the table and pulled his shirt over his bum before gently perching himself on the end. The very end. He blinked at the terrifying sight of the hall in front of him, before smiling quickly at Anastasia. "Yes, yes, I'm super. Just a little nervous." He lowered his voice for the last part. "What about yourself?"
Water?
"Actually..." He raised a finger and watched the water as she was pouring it for him, and then he tucked the finger away but still had his arm up. There was a short pause after that because he wished he hadn't been so RUDE. Archie tapped his chin. "Any chance of... a tea?" 'Cause he had been just GASPING for a cuppa all day. Lovely, yes, he'd do just fine here. Such a nice guy, Archie Milliard. Hmm, a... tea? Bunz blinked at him for a minute and his arm up in the air before she cued in. Oh, he wanted a cup of tea. Right. Well...
"I'm afraid you'll have to wait until just after the speech," she reminded him politely. "The house elves only put out cold drinks before the meal appears." Which shouldn't be too much longer, as students were filing in now....

You had a baby once upon a time too; you just happened to not be at Hogwarts when it was ickle. Perhaps she should have bought her a mug though to suck up to her as Airey had. "Annie! Have you met Septimus? Don't worry, he'll just be with me until the Holidays." Didn't she remember their conversation about it just a few weeks ago? Brief, but she had warned her. Oh really, the baby would be with her THAT long? "I haven't met him," she replied in a medium tone, not too loud, not too soft since it was starting to get noisy in here. "But he's cute!" There, she had said something nice. And now... time for the speech, she thinks.

Anastasia stood up and walked to the front of the dais, pausing and waiting for everyone's attention before she cast sonorous on herself. Once she was ready, she began her speech.
"Good evening, everyone. Welcome back to another year. As I'm sure you all have noticed, the weather has returned to normal and the infest--- the horde of chorts from the forest are officially removed." She paused to allow time for applause, because OBVIOUSLY that statement deserved applause. Copious amounts of it.
Next. "We also have some new and returning staff this term... Professor Tanner is back," hopefully they'd know that was Tyner, just married, "and we have some new staff in Herbology and on the grounds. Please give a warm welcome to Professor Walton and Groundskeeper Milliard."
Another pause for applause.
"Now, I look forward to a WONDERFUL term with no problems and a great, friendly competitive spirit in the House points race. Please do your best in your classes and make all of our new students and teachers feel welcome. Without further ado, let's eat!"
And nowwww the food and tea and other hot items were on the tables. Delicious!
