Seeing Haddie momentarily shocked was more fun than it should have been and Ailsa had to remind herself not to be too hard on her cousin. This was all very new even for Ailsa and it had to be much more stressful for someone like Haddie who hadn't grown up with any real background in it. All things considered, better to cut her cousin a little slack.
"Oh thank gods! I'm not usually like that and I don't know what happened and I'm really sorry..." The realisation of rambling hit just a hair too late as Ailsa blushed and reigned her overactive mouth back in. "Sorry. An' yeah, Haddie and I are a wee bit different, but that's Americans for you." This last comes with an uncharacteristically playful grin in Haddie's direction.
For a while, the girl simply allowed herself to observe her surroundings in happy reverie but, as with all good things, it came to an end. This time with Haddie introducing her as Elsa to a mildly stunned looking girl (Julia).
"It's Ailsa, no' Elsa. Can you no' be telling the difference you coof?" Quote:

“Oh, Haddie. It’s not. Cheer up.’’ The freckled face girl opted to change the subject. “I can’t wait to try the food served here. Did you that the food’s made by House elves?’’ Had she succeeded in distracting her friend? “I don’t think they’ll let us have ice cream as dessert this evening, however.’’ She loved having ice cream with Haddie. It was the first eatable they had shared. Haddie frowned at the question, just for a second. A small slip then the frown was gone. "I have an older brother, and... a twin sister. But neither are magical, so they're not here." She smiled at Kitty before her attention was drawn to Ailsa.
Her cousin was having way too much fun trying, unsuccessfully, to tease Haddie. Amateur. But judging by the reaction to Haddie introducing Ailsa as Elsa. Oh, yeah. Teasing her cousin was going to be way too easy. She grinned, almost unable to contain the laugh. "Chill, Elsa. Just... let it go."
And there was her best friend trying to make sure she was as happy as she could be always. Rachel truly was a great best friend, even if they didn't always see things eye to eye. "It is too. But don't worry, I'm cheered up. And no," she shook her head. "You didn't, but Paige, the Hufflepuff girl from, um," she sheepishly lowered her voice, "the Scribbulus incident... She told me." Rachel knew all about that, and had used it against Haddie a few times already. "We'll see though, how it compares to my Mom's cooking." SPOILER!!: teachers *eyeroll* Quote:

And then, because he had completely forgotten that his lungs required oxygen to function properly the past minute or so, the Astronomy professor became increasingly lightheaded and keeled over backwards as his vision went all white first, then the putrid color of the contamination on his suit and then fade to black.
Lights out, Flamsteed. Quote:

“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.
Before Haddie could say anything more, or ask Penny the Prefect, who was still standing next to her, why they wouldn't get ice cream tonight, a sudden commotion at the Staff Table drew her attention in a snap.
Some teacher screaming his head off about suits and then fainted. She stifled a nervous laugh and looked around confused, but the mixture of reactions made it clear enough that this wasn't that out of place. This school was weird and she loved it!
Haddie turned back to continue her conversation with Rachel, when she had to again turn her attention back to the Staff table where they were instructed to stand, and take a couple of steps. It was somewhere between the small dance they had just done and the Headmistress's reason for it that Haddie decided she actually kinda liked the Headmistress. Kinda. That didn't stop her from ignoring the rest of the speech though, once it became clear it was just a run-of-the-mill welcome and these are your teachers speech.
But then there was food, and delicious looking food too! It smelled wonderful too. Hadley dug her fork into to the food on her now full plate and------- Quote:

By all indications, the Ravenclaw table is under attack. Splat! The consequence of being next to the intended target. A huge glop of mashed potatoes were firmly plastered to the back of her head and right shoulder. Quote:

"Fat chance of that!" She stood, and grabbed a double handful of her mashed potatoes herself, and scanned the Great Hall for the culprit. It wasn't hard to figure out who was responsible, but unlike the boy, Haddie actually knew she was terrible at throwing. Before either prefect could do anything, she marched away from her table and to the Gryffindor's table...
