How's everything going? Do you need anyextra help?" He had time before the students arrived from the station. The next new professor made an appearance.... in a... tent? No, a poncho. Botros grinned brightly at the white-haired young man (everyone was young in his eyes, alright?). "Hello professor Myers, welcome once again," Ab noticed the man shivering? Why?? Aw. "Yes, you can sit over there, two seats from me," he indicated the Herbology seat.
"I hope your journey--" because the poncho. "--wasn't too exhausting?" Finally one of his old colleagues. Botros smiled at Cassie, who looked under-the-weather for sure, as she came in and took her seat next to him. He knew the Divination professor was usually bubbly and bright (literally and figuratively) but tonight it seemed that she had a tough time. "Evening, professor," he replied smiling still and moving his cane so it wouldn't bother the suitcase and the felines residing in there. "You look down, are you alright? Do you need to retire to your quarters early?" Well well well... if they didn't have quite the fashion show tonight here on the staff dais exclusively.
Botros grinned widely at the glimmering red jacket (not too much because ouch? Did Airey want to divert people's eyes off him purposefully?). "Evening, professor," Botros kept trying to look at him directly but his eyes squinted behind his small spectacles and eventually he had to use his hand to fend off some of the shininess. "Nice suit this year, maybe easy on the glitter next time?" Oh a new mug, aww. Ab tried to blink away the white spots from his eyes and grabbed the gift close to his face to see it properly. "Thank you, professor, I appreciate it." Just.... let's try... and BLINK BLINK BLINK see what kind of mug was this BLINK BLINK BLINK. Cassie glanced down at her nails, Oh not did they just look awful. She had been biting at them in her anxious state of coming into the feast. This was not her style at all. Did she have time to pull out her wand and fix them?
Her thoughts interrupted by the man at her side she glanced over to Ab for a second and then got her smile to grow, she could be chipper on the outside, yes? "Oh no, I'm fine. Just getting back into the swing of things is all. Busy busy." She gave a forced giggle before closing her lips tightly and glancing away a moment, "How was your summer Headmaster." It was odd calling him that, but she felt like she had to be fully professional now.
Her eyes moved to someone that had just entered the room. Watching Leo walk towards the table was certainly a welcoming distraction. "No need to retire early, I promise you." An after thought to his question from before, but she wouldn't leave the feast early even though she wanted to hide away at the moment. SPOILER!!: Leo Quote:

It'd be odd coming back to Hogwarts without so many of their colleagues but he was going to miss Javy and Nessa the most. Leo had played the supportive boyfriend card and hoped that Cassie would become happier as term went on. Hopefully the student's would get her happy snappyness back in full swing.
After unpacking in his office Leo took a tour of the library to see that everything was in order before he changed into his feast attire. Tonight he chose a dark navy blue suit and white shirt to go under his robes. Entering the great hall several minutes later Leo noted with a glance that Airey, Ab, Cassie and two new colleagues had already claimed their seats on the dais. Walking up on the left end he shot Airey a smile. "Hi Airey, nice glittery suit." It was a little extreme for Leo's taste but it was Airey in a nutshell. To the newcomer sitting in what used to be Maddox seat he flashed off a smile. "Welcome to Hogwarts, Ms Baxter!"
Rounding the table he stopped by Cassie's seat and gave her right shoulder a squeeze as he mumbled in her ear. "You look beautiful darling, try and cheer up!" Straightening up Leo passed by Ab's in his new chair and said "Hello Ab, I hope you had a great summer?" After making his way past two so far empty chairs Leo came up behind the new herbology professor that wore something very tent like. It wasn't until he reached his seat that he remembered that the attire was called a poncho. Flashing the man a big smile he said "Welcome to Hogwarts, Mr Myers was it?"
His hand on her shoulder Cassie lifted hers to place over his for only a second. "Why thank you, you look very handsome yourself." After last term she assumed it was pretty obvious for any that weren't sure to be sure they were a couple now. They were still very good about keeping their relationship private no need for anything less. His words sweet she gave him a encouraging smile. "I'm fine, promise." She would be, it wasn't as if she hadn't felt disappointment in her life before. She was a big girl and would get over it like she did other things. She just needed some time. SPOILER!!: Justin Quote:

So he just needed to find his spot to sit at. Luckily it was right in between the Headmaster and the Slytherin Head of House from what he was told. Perfect seating if he didn't say so himself. Now who else was here as his eyes glanced over before -TOO MUCH SHINY AND RED SPARKLES - "MY EYESS. OH MErlin, MY EYEEEES!" Quick! Shield them with your hat! So Justin did. It was like his eyes were bleeding in pain from all the glitter and sparkles before- "Just kidding." He grinned cheekily, "Airey, right?" Unless he wanted to be called something else. Anywhoo, he was taking his eyes from the sparkles in the opposite direction where he saw Leo whose arms were around his girl, yeah? He mentioned having one who was- heeeeeeeey. He seen this lady not so many years ago at that Concert. "Hey there Leo.. and Cassie, right? Feeling okay?" She looked like she could use some cheering up.
Before he sat his rump down though he gave a little cheerful grin toward his boss, "Hello Headmaster, that throne looks miiiiighty comfy." And a little wave-salute towards the gentleman who looked a little lost and another lady nearby. Oh, were they new too? "Your first year working here too, eh? I'm Justin." Glad to have gotten that out of the way since now he could finally sit with his fellow Slytherin companion,
"CeCe. Nice to see you again." Besides when they met recently, it had been ages since they were students together. Not that he was going to remind her, he he. Oh how much fun that would've been. Nah, he was going to be as good he could be. "Doing alright?" Naturally he bet, since she was the Healer.
Was it that obvious? UGH she didn't feel she was being that down, but maybe she needed more acting lessons from Nessa soon. "Oh yes, everything is fabtastic. How are you? Getting along alright on the grounds?" She had been there a few terms and she noticed that the Groundskeeper spot was always changing. Part of her wondered if he knew this and the other part told the first one to shut up. There was no need to worry him on the first night at the school. "Are you excited to be here?"
She watched as Sabel came in and he seemed to be thinking about the changes as she watched him glance at empty seats. Her eyes going towards the History of Magic seat and a little sniffle was forced to stay hidden. She would owl her bestie as soon as this was over. Maybe they could have a weekend girls dinner. She couldn't wait to hear about all the fantastic things going on a WADA.
The interesting question caught her attention and she turned. "Why yes I do actually. May I ask why you are asking?" It wasn't something she heard often, but being a vegetarian she had a list of things that she enjoyed the house elves to make her and brussel sprouts were on that list. "How was your summer Sabel? Joyful I hope." She had to admit she was surprised that he wasn't leading the lions with Airey this year, but that was none of her business so she wouldn't ask.
