 Lucky she didn't see you, Haddie! ....SPEECH! elephant-astic•wanderlust•stay in the ninedaaays the original Taco Belle•look at the flowers✿
Julien's words made the headmistress hold up a finger to her lips. "Shh, you'll jinx it!" A smile followed shortly after but she wasn't entirely kidding. Things going to plan wasn't the norm at this crazy wonderful school so the brunette was going to do everything she could to savor the peace. What's that thing people did? Oh! She knocked on wood and relaxed slightly. "There." That should buy her another...ten minutes or so.
PONCHO PAUL , PUH-LEASE!
Did he realize how brutal it had been for the moxinator to sport one of those things? Did he KNOW how hard they were to accessorize? OBVIOUSLY not because the man was jazzed about having one with a collar. MERLIN'S beard. She loved the guy, she DID, but he needed some serious help. She was going to have to report him to those WIZARDING WHAT NOT TO WEAR people. It was for his own good. "I always look nice, Paul!" even when being forced to wear ghastly things against her will. Something about her glowing skin and silky smooth hair and sparkling eyes...wait, what was she saying? "Let's go antiquing this summer, okay?"
Nana's mention of traveling to Japan for the summer piqued Meredith's interest and she gave the transfiguration professor a grin. "Sounds amazing. Relax and enjoy, you deserve it after this term." Truly. "I'll be spending my time with my husband and daughter, actually. I'm missing them quite a lot." Which also answered Leo and Roderik's inquiries. "Safe travels, then, to you both!" Nana and Roderik deserved a break. They'd done such good work this term. All the new additions had. Well, minus the HAG.
"I'm so happy for you, Leo! If you're writing your own vows and need some advice, I'm something of a wordsmith. One of my many talents..."
And speaking of words, Moxley stood up and smoothed her dress, gaze falling on the children. Once her voice was magnified so all could hear, she cleared her throat and smiled at the lot of them.
”Eventful term, am I right?” Hehe. ”I’d like to take a moment to commend you all on your hard work this school year.” And on the whole not dying thing but she wasn’t going to say THAT part out loud. ”We had more than a few…err…surprises but we dealt with them in true Hogwarts fashion and finished the term stronger, wiser, maybe a bit taller, and probably a little rounder-got the elves and their amazing cooking skills to thank for that one, kiddos!” The Moxinator cracked herself UP and she let out a little chuckle before continuing on. ”Let us please take a moment to give a special shout out to the eagles of Ravenclaw! You’ve outdone yourselves and earned a win not only in the gobstones tournament, but in the race for the house cup as well! Congratulations to you!” Like, it’d been AGES! Maybe Leo’s hair would miraculously return to its former glory now that his house had. Time would tell. ”I would also like to wish the graduating seventh years luck in all of their endeavors! Go out into the world and make your mark!” Pause. ”A positive one. One that will make us proud! I know you are all capable of truly great things!” And some, well, they might end up on Wizarding World’s Most Wanted list but that wasn’t HER fault. Bad parenting and all that. Tsk. Tsk. ”With all that said, let’s EAT!” And once the food had appeared and the brunette showcased it with a flourish, she took a seat again and got ready to dig in.
