Heather wasn't late, nope. Everyone else was just early. And still in their robes from dinner. Blech. She'd had to get out of those things as soon as possible, which explained her not lateness. She was much more comfortable now, so it was worth it.

Anyway, the party was in full swing by the time she returned to the common room from her dorm. And someone had invited a couple of the new professors, including the cat man Animagus! But he was already invovled in conversation in someone else, so she just grabbed herself a handful of popcorn and plopped down on the first available surface (which just so happened to be a table). Just taking everything in before she threw herself into the mix.
