It was just another year here at Hogwarts. A different one, that was for certain with Javier as he strolled right on in through the Great Hall. The seemingly vast, yet not empty Great Hall. It had only been a month since he last saw the current occupants before him. "Evening Leo." Their best man, as he deserved. "How's the rest of your summer been?" Quite eventful, yes? Least he hoped so.

Walking along to his side of the table, he smiled a little at his boss. "Hello again Annie.." Who seemed to be quite enchanted by that rose. A delicate rose. It had quite a scent to it from this distance. "What a lovely rose you have." He deduced it likely to be from her husband. It was a very gentle and thoughtful way of sharing his love after all. By now he was sitting, waiting on the other arrivals. The Creature Professor didn't have much of a reason to look to his left as often anymore right now.
