She found it a bit strange to be so excited for pudding. there was that culture divide she tried well to avoid.
This woman seemed to be genuinely confused on several levels. First, she didn't seem to recognize who was speaking to her. Perhaps she hadn't been told who her colleagues were? "
I'm Tiara, Tiara Tanner. Arithmancy Professor. It's great to have you here."
Second, she didn't seem to be excited about pudding. Now
that was just incomprehensible. "
Not a fan of sweets, then? The elves usually have a great variety of tarts, pies, actual pudding, you name it. Just you see, there will be something there that tickles your fancy."
Now it was time to get to know her coworkers a bit better. "
You're coming to us from Salem, correct?" Hogwarts had gotten many excellent staff members from there recently.

Oh, and there was another of their new additions! She gave the man a broad smile and returned his greeting. "
Hello, Roderik! Welcome to Hogwarts. I'm Tiara Tanner, Arithmancy Professor. It's wonderful to have you here with us." And it would be equally wonderful if she could keep herself from calling this man Plumpton - that was the Quidditch background kicking in.
