It was at that moment that Lady Helena floated into the Great Hall and stopped suddenly. The sight of the Prefect bounding on the tables ruffled her feathers. It wasn't poised and elegant and it certainly wasn't Ravenclaw. She shot him a reproachful look, as if he'd upset her personally with his display.

Her elegant, ghostly self floated along the table and hovered above it. "As Prefect Bronwyn has so kindly mentioned, welcome to Ravenclaw to the newly sorted students and welcome back to our returning students." A warm smile spread across her lips. "I hope you grow to love the house of my mother's as much as I do."

With that, her ladyship floated towards an empty spot between two young eagles and sat down. Her hands were clasped and sat on her lap as she looked around at the bright, eager faces of the most wisest house at Hogwarts.
