The cushion is quite nice, i might say," he was going to write to annie and tell her how much he liked the so-called throne's cushion. Though it was not a throne when he sat on it, it was just a big chair with a big occupier. He was no queen with fiery red hair, he barely had any hair left.

"thank you... I think..." he gave leo the same warm smile. The hall was filling up with students quickly, their chatter filled up the quietness quickly.

botros forgot some things, and that was his only self-acclaimed weakness. Among the things he forgot was his colleague's distaste for physical contact and it was only when airey looked stricken and stumbled on his small words that ab remembered. It didn't dampen his beaming face or big smile, though. The astronomy professor had to wear a badge that said 'no hugs please' to avoid botros' spontaneous hugs because the old man was a hardcore, typical hufflepuff... Which explained a lot. "you're welcome," he replied and watched the man retreat to his seat with the strangest salute ever. What a lovely dork.

the transition, yes. "serving as head of house first then deputy broke the ice for sure. I did serve as a deputy in a school long time ago, then i was head department for runic studies in the cairo wu for quite a while so the business is familiar... Although hogwarts is a school like no other, it's a great responsibility." he turned his face to look at the vast crowd of students in front of them to indicate what he meant by that. It was an honor.

Aahhh, ab was now almost sure that cassie and leo were a little more than friends. He smiled and nodded, appreciating the fact that it wasn't rudely carried out in the castle where students and staffers saw and talked. That was the professional way to do it. "i'm glad you had fun. Send my best regards to professor glendower, please." she was a delight to work with.

with the sorting ceremony over, botros got up from his chair and clinked his goblet with the silver spoon twice urging everyone to pay attention. When that didn't work, he put the wand on his throat, "good evening, hogwarts," he spoke smiling. "welcome everyone to another year at hogwarts. Old students, welcome back, hope you had a good holiday and are all ready to tackle the new term with fresh spirits. New students, welcome to your first hogwarts year. This school is not like other magical schools, we have unprecedented history that makes us one of the bests. This comes with unpredictable adventures: Some to remind us to stay united, stick together and be one, strong hand against hardships. And others to wield us into a better shape to face the world outside those majestic, protective walls," he paused, making eye contacts and letting those important messages sink in.

"this term we have several new professors who bring us extraordinary and new horizons. We have professor beatrice york of transfiguration," he extended his hand to indicate the white-haired woman. "professor paul myers of herbology," the white-haired man. "professor astrid baxter of charms," the brunette on the other side of the table. "and i'm happy to announce that miss helena ravenclaw will take over history of magic." he gave the lady-ghost a beam. "you've all met our new groundskeeper, mr. Justin mcleod who will also help mrs. Murdoch in leading the slytherin house. For care of magical creatures... We're currently having a discussion with someone for it, and hopefully we'll have a very happy announcement to make regarding that matter." ahem, no need for more details in case the 'someone' didn't agree to take it. "in my place, professor moxley will be hufflepuff head of house assisted by professor culloden." a little clap clap for all of them.

"i'm sure we've all had a long day and we're eager to wolf down those delicious dishes our loyal house-elves prepared for us, but first allow me to make some more announcements," sure the food was not here to judge it being scrumptious yet but when the food was ever bad here at hogwarts? Okay, maybe that one time with the ice cream, but other than that?? Never. Exactly. "this year, professor sabel dakest, defense against the dark arts teacher and ministry-approved auror, is working on launching a dueling club for both students and staff. We thank him and wish him the best," a modest applause from botros and the school. "furthermore, following last year's unfortunate events," respectful pause. "we're going to have a year-long series of multiple camps to charge our mind, heart and body with positive energy and reform ourselves to be in a better state wholly. Not just that, we planned many surprises to accompany those activities. And fair warning, there will be rewards of different kinds for those who achieve the best they could from those camps." whew! So much news in one night. That ought to keep them awake for a while. Heh heh.

"lastly, you are all sorted in houses now. Your housemates will be your friends and your family for the next nine months, so try to get to know them better." a friendly smile for them all. "have a good meal and don't forget to look for your prefects when it's time to leave to your dorms." he snapped his fingers and the feast was officially laid out on all five tables.

Let's eat!
