Oh Merlin, Moxley had arrived and made her presence known. Anastasia had enjoyed her interview with the woman, and she certainly didn't disappoint with her sense of humor already. "Mmm," was all Annie had to say about Javier's supermodel good looks. Too bad he was a) taken and b) not interested in their type. Alas, she would allow Josephina's replacement a chance to figure that out for herself. Twas all Muggle Studies, right?

The redhead began to smirk as she poured herself a cup of water.

It is also known as Caldwell 49 and is located in the Monoceros region of the Milky Way Galaxy. Quite breathtaking to behold. You can see it with the telescope in the Observatory, after some additional focus enchantments and tweaks. I highly recommend it!"
...and right on cue, here came the Astronut. Annie couldn't have planned the evening's festivities better herself (except that she had, sort of, planned them). "Evening, Flamsteed," she greeted him levelly, still smirking a bit.... until he started talking waaaaaaaay above her understanding. Heavens above, were all his Astrolectures this long-winded? She felt like a dying star just listening to him talk, mostly because she didn't know what he was going on about.

"I'm not at all familiar with that er... thing," she waved a hand at him a bit. "But sure, I think I will be dropping by the Astro lab this term." If only to make certain he were no longer possessed and/or rambling about Herbo-shaped-star arrangements. Luckily now, the man was heading toward his end of the table.

What a romantic thing, but before she could say anymore she jumped at the noise at her end of the table. What on earth was that...
And Cassie was arriving instead. Not in her seat yet, she noted, but that was fine... "Oh thank you," she beamed at the blonde, who was looking quite fresh and lovely herself this evening. Not as nice as Annie, but it was a nice effort for the Divination professor. "Actually, Leobald dropped this off for me." She giggled and wiggled a few fingers down toward the librarian. "No idea why, he didn't leave a note for me or anything..."

A note for her... waaaaaaaaait...........

I trust your summer vacation was lovely?" Why not be informal, it were just them there at the moment anyway.

Leo was about to turn to pour up some pumpkin juice in his goblet when he saw how Annie snatched up the pink rose intended for Cassie. Throat drying up and eyes bulging out of their eye-sockets, he struggled for breath as he mumbled. "That rose is not-" trailing off he finished silently to himself 'intended for you.' Coughing Leo tried again. "So did you like the rose Annie?" It seemed like it was the appropriate thing to ask. He'd have to breakdown and worry about the implications of Cassie's rose getting stolen by Annie. What was he going to tell Cassie? He was definitley not telling Annie that what she had taken was not hers. He wasn't that bold.
"We didn't go anywhere this summer, actually, but I did have a great break! So enjoyable. How was yours? Read anything good?" She'd have to drop by his office later, as she recalled now that she had some new volumes on Herbology and Ancient Runes (SPELL-CHECKED VOLUMES, BY THE WAY) for the school's collection.

But what was this sudden expression of his for? "The rose is not....?" she repeated, a frown creasing her otherwise nearly wrinkle-free face for a second. "Oh!" She said instead. "I DID. It smells LOVELY. Reminds me of home." Well then, the rose HAD been intended for her, silly Leobald mixing up her seat with Cassie's. "It's always nice to feel a bit of appreciation from an employee, you know?"

Well he didn't, but Annie laughed at her own joke anyway.

It was about now that all the commotion surrounding Flamsteed, Javy, Cassie, and... oh great, Tillstorm Murdoch was involving herself in this mess... started to catch the Headmistress' attention. Ordinarily she would have corrected them all, quieted them down, and made Flamsteed get off Javy's lap, but tonight the redhead was in such a good mood that she just leaned back in her throne and watched.

"Great entertainment, I do agree this is an epic start," she called back to Moxley. "Though I expect the Astronomy professor will be getting off his coworker's lap any moment now... has a great fear of cats, that one." In case she didn't already know this evident fact.

"The food will be here after I speak," Annie added. "And after the students are all Sorted and all that."

Oh good, nearly all the staff was here now! "Hi Nessa, I did thank you. I hope you did as well."

Annie glanced casually toward her gold watch, an antique she had acquired this summer which still worked just as well as anything. And this antique wasn't cursed by a ghost either, she'd made her husband check it out first.

"The train should be here any minute now," she called out dutifully, as a head's up to those still... socializing and sitting on each other.
