What. in. the. name. of. Merlin?
It was bad enough that the hag disney witch nightmare woman mysterious lady was predicting ominous things to her about students and staff at her very first feast as headmistress but on top of that, Rocketman had fainted and though the healer seemed less than concerned, which gave Moxley hope the man hadn't had a heart attack, the brunette couldn't help but worry. Leo seemed to have it under control, at least. Still, she was suddenly in a very anxious mood and wishing everyone would just be quiet and what better way to shut them all up and get this feast over with while things were still semi-under control than the speech and some food? Yes, food. That's what they needed.
"Enough of this," she said, giving Justin an apologetic look for not commenting on his beautiful daughter as she'd wanted to. Sorry, bro.
Clearing her throat loudly to end all conversation at the table, the brunette stood and looked down at the students. Magnified voice ready, she then started her very first speech as headmistress. Talk about exciting!
“Students, please rise!” Her tone was stern and she lifted her hands as if the motion alone would send each and every Hogwartian up and out of their seats. “Now take one step to your left,” She paused, giving them time to do so. Her gaze was fixed on them, expectant. “Now one step back.” More staring and a brief pause. “Now return to your seats.”
…
“My dad always said if I was going to be a good leader, I’d need to be able to move a crowd. Looks like I’ve got that under control, am I right?” The Moxinator gave a little giggle!snort and smiled down at the kids. “I want to welcome you all to Hogwarts, students new and old. I’m Professor Meredith Moxley and your interim headmistress. Our thoughts are with Abraham Botros, the former headmaster and beloved professor, while he deals with personal matters. I trust we’ll all behave in a manner he would be proud of.”
“I’d like you all to give a warm welcome to the newest additions to the staff. Professor Ichihara for Transfiguration, Professor Hirsch for Defense Against the Dark Arts, Professor Primeaux for Charms, Professor Finch for History of Magic, Professor Draper for Care of Magical Creatures, and Professor Newton for Potions.” Merlin’s beard, that was a lot of people! “Probably would’ve been easier to point out who had returned, eh?” Cue a nervous laugh.
SHOOT. She’d forgotten the…the um woman and she had yet to learn her name. Uh…
“Oh and a very warm welcome to our new Divination professor. Yes,” She said quickly, vaguely gesturing to the terrifying woman.
“With that said, let’s eat! And don’t forget that this term I expect you to have fun, be safe, and make the right decisions!” Moxley out. There was food to be had.
