Really? Well, she had been on a first name basis with Anastasia, but it had taken quite some time. Although, Moxley was quite a different personality. "
Meredith it is, then! Enjoy the feast!"

Pretending was out of the question as well. He wasn't about to mention that to his colleague, though, who taught the subject. Why she would put herself through that torture, he didn't know. But he smiled at her and replied, "It's nice to meet you, Tiara. Hogwarts is certainly new... and extravagant from my experience." But she didn't need to know that. "I take it that you're doing well?"
Tiara understood this reaction. "
Extravagant at first, but soon you will just learn to think of it as home." And it likely would not take Plumpton.. er... Roderik that long. She really needed to watch it or her new colleague would think she was calling him fat. Can't let that slip out. "
I am doing just fine, thank you," she said after his inquiries. Despite the fact that it was somewhat false. But she didn't need to unload her emotional baggage onto the poor man.

With that Ursula pulled out her perfume bottle and started to spray her heavy scented perfume in every possible direction. Some made contact with one of the men's ghastly red suit (Airey) leaving a large wet dot right down his chest. The woman next to him (Tiara) got perfume all over her pretty dark hair.
Um.
Well.
That was... unexpected.
After getting over the shock of being practically doused in perfume, Tiara, always practical, whipped out her wand and began to siphon it out of her hair. "
You're in rough shape, Flamsteed," she announced, stating the obvious. She directed her wand to him next, knowing how the man could get about his clothing. Tiara didn't want to spend the next ten minutes avoiding the man's meltdown.
The next thing she knew, the creature was pointing a threatening finger at their new Headmistress. Tiara half rose from her seat, but then she saw Meredith was actually welcoming the hag to staff. A new development she had not been made aware of! Tiara was a bit surprised, but she didn't let it show on her face. It wouldn't do for the students to see the staff like that.
