Well, Anastasia was glad to hear that Piers was doing well and that Leobald had made a bit of a recovery after giving her a rose with no justification. She looked from the librarian to the divination professor with a small, satisfied nod. Yes, she WAS a good boss. She DID do a lot for these ungratefuls, most of them. Hmmph!

For now, though, she casually closed up her convo with the librarian with a small, "Maybe I will check that book out." Though of course she had read all the Sherlock Holmes novels as a girl and was no longer interested in such Muggle adventures, but saw no need to tell the bookman that.

The catman, on the other hand, was MUCH more hilarious to watch. And watch ~~and cackle~~ she did. There was just so much entertainment to be had from others' displeasure! "I did have a lovely summer, thanks," she returned Archie's greeting as he sat down to her left. "Are you excited about doing Herbology this year? I just can't WAIT to see what you've done to the greenhouses." She nearly gave the man's arm a squeeze, she was so excited, but he looked frightened enough without the physical contact. So.

As more people were arriving, Annie had to make more of an effort now to continue watching the spectacle at the other end of the table, and upon seeing Cecelia POOF! into a .... fairy godmother costume, she decided that was enough. ~~But not after she had a good long laugh at the other women's expense, of course.~~

"We are NOT all wearing costumes," she shut down Cassie's high-pitched idea loudly and immediately. If they had been wearing costumes, would Abraham really be a king? Really? He was a prince at best. There was only one head honcho in this castle and it was Queen B...unbury. "Have a seat in your correct places NOW, everyone." he Headmistress had stood up from her throne and was making her way toward the trouble end of the table en route to the dais. "I'm about to give the speech and I would prefer if you all would set a decent example for the students, for a change."

Now, onto the speech. Assuming that everyone had indeed taken their seats and that a costume duel between the Healer and the Astronut was not about to break out behind her, Annie magnified her voice for all the students.

"Good evening and welcome to the start of the 2085 to 2086 school year. I hope everyone had a restful summer, and to those of you joining us for the first time, we hope you enjoy your time at Hogwarts." She looked toward the baby faces of the firsties and the new staff. "We have a few new faces up here: Professor Quigley in Charms, Professor Moxley in Muggle Studies, and Groundskeeper Milliard in Herbology as well. Professor Botros is the new Hufflepuff Head of House. Give them a warm welcome with your hands."

She paused to allow the applause to subside. "Now, I would also like to inform you all that at the end of the month, the Board of Governors will be sponsoring a reunion for Hogwarts graduates. Current students are not invited to attend, I'm afraid, but this shouldn't stop you from exploring other parts of the castle besides the Great Hall, which will be occupied by this alumni event. Keep your eyes on your Common Room notice boards for a special activity coming this school year. And with that, please enjoy the feast, look to your prefects to lead you back to your common rooms, and let us all have a great year. Thank you." She smiled once firmly at the students and then returned to her seat the other way, by passing Sophia and Cosgrach and that end of the table. Mmm. The food had appeared and it looked GREAT.
