Laurel had just picked up a pink coloured drink from a nearby table when she heard an unfamiliar yet familiar voice behind her. Turning to face a blond woman that was her elder Lau smiled broadly as she extended a hand for a shake.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Caroleena! Welcome to the Hogwarts teaching staff team! I'm Laurel Vance, I teach Divination." Raising her glass to sip at the pink liquid she thought yummy raspberry. Focusing on the woman that taken over Airey's job she asked
"Were you perchance a fellow snake in your youth?" She knew the answer of course, but she wanted it confirmed by her new colleague.
SPOILER!!: Rose

Laurel was scanning around for something to nibble on with her drink when Rose arrived in a glittery getup. Smiling at her friend she said gesturing to her dress
"Hello Rose, you look pretty! Was that one of the dresses you bought when we were on our girl's day shopping trip to Madam Malkins earlier in the summer?" The dress didn't look familiar but it could still be new.
SPOILER!!: Viktor

They still had time and the whole school year.
Still he would be sure to talk to two of them.
Smirk.
Also was he late he had no idea since it seemed like most were already here. Just a few missing. But they probably had better things to do.
The interesting thing with Viktor Sokolov was that he never did what was expected of him, and it seemed to apply to this social even too. Laurel smoothed out a wrinkle on her summery yellow dress. Inclining her head towards him over her drink Laurel murmured.
"Hello Viktor," was he looking for cursed objects again? She still didn't fanthom his apparent fascination with something that most likely would cause pain.
SPOILER!!: Roderick

The smile that had been missing at the End of Term feast seemed to have returned to his face, displaying those cheeky dimples clearly. "Hello, everyone. Had a good summer?" Green eyes swept over the room, immediately taking in everyone there, including the newcomers to the Staffing team.
Laurel had just found a bowl of salted peanuts when Roderick made his entrance sporting a healthy tan and contagious smile. The sorrow that had been present in his eyes at the last feast was gone. Nodding, a cherry smile pursing her lips Laurel greeted.
"Hello Roderick, yes i've had a lovely summer so far thank you. You look well too. It's good to see that the sorrow that was present in your eyes at the last feast is gone. Did you vacation somewhere warmer?" She knew obviously, but she didn't want to spoil Rodericks good mood.
SPOILER!!: Kay

Next person to arrive was Kayasha. Waving to her friend Laurel said
"Hello Kay, have you had a good summer after our girl's outing?" She had actually layed off scrying for her friends immediate future for just a few weeks so she was genuinly curious. Lau would take it up again when the school year started.
SPOILER!!: River

She did look familiar too by the way. In fact, most people looked familiar to him. They were perhaps first years when he was a fifth year Ravenclaw and transferred to Castelobruxo? Most probably, yes.
Gladly turning her blue eyes to River as he shook her hand gently she said
"It's nice to meet you too Healer Reed. What is it with peppermint that you love so much?" It was the first thing she had gotten a sense of when their hands had been interlocked. Regarding him she asked trying to place him.
"Did you go to Hogwarts at the same time as me?" It was the conclusion she drew since he looked way too familiar or had she read his palms?
SPOILER!!: Art

Sipping on her pink drink Laurel moved to stand closer to her grey haired senior colleague as Art spoke to her. Smiling gladly at him she said
"Good evening Art! My summer has been filled with lots of joyful moments. It was good to relax and enjoy some sun in sunny gran canaria for 2 weeks for instance." And then there was Justins wedding and the girls day and such. Taking another sip from her drink she asked
"How has your summer been Art? Lots of family time?" SPOILER!!: Gaston

The colleague on staff that she found most peculiar was the one that arrived just shortly after Rose; Gaston. Why he was always so nervous and quiet she didn't get since he admittedly had found a life partner in Rose while she was still searching around for Mr right. "Hello Gaston," Laurel greeted the charms professors with a small smile.
"Having a good summer?" SPOILER!!: Cami

Divination, huh? That hadn't been one of her favorite lessons back in the day when she attended school but that was because she hadn't been that good at it. "It's a pleasure meeting you Laurel, I'm Camilla Stewart the new Transfiguration professor."
Interlocking hands with a new person always gave her a sense of foreboding of the person and their future. In this case she just got vague hints. Smiling brightly, her brows shot up in surprise at the surname.
"You're Kay's sister no, cousin?" Transfiguration was one of the classes she had despised in her youth since she had been so bad at it.
SPOILER!!: Paul

"They won't leave the grapes alone!" and he had NEVER in all of his years in Italy had this problem before. It was very odd.
Looking over at Paul with his fluffy white santa hair Laurel answered with a smile pursing her lips.
"Yes, I am. I've gotten plenty of sun and family time. How has your summer been aside from the worm problem?"
