It was really nice to feel so welcomed back, she smiled back at Laurel. ”I’m ready for it.” Though the former Gryffindor would never admit to the nervousness that loomed over her for her first lesson tomorrow. To Ciara’s surprise she was calm, all the nervousness pretty much had gone away once she had taken her seat. The excitement of being back and teaching at Hogwarts she had almost forgot that this time last year she was at Ilvermorny. She liked it there but it was great to be back home. Seeing so many familiar faces from her time as a student here, now they were also Professors too.

Tristan showed up shortly after her, another former Hogwartian. She smiled and nodded at him. ”Very well. Hope you are too.” Then Haraldur entered the great hall, he was a dear old man, Ciara adored him. But she had to say he looked warm and well bundled up. Older people did get cold easier maybe that’s what it was. ”Hello Haraldur” She returned his wave also.

Two more slowed up pretty much right after each other. Cami the transfiguration professor she gave her a small wave as she came and sat in her the chair next to her. You gotta love the seating arrangements, she was between the Stewarts. ”Hello, Cami.” She said with a bright smile. Turning to Kay, she nodded. ”Just a little trip down memory lane.” She turned to Kalen "Are you ready for term to start?"

Also ”Hello, Kei.” She nodded to the Astronomy professor. She did the same for Gaston as he arrived. ”Good evening to you as well.” Okay so maybe the nervousness had came back as more the other staff arrived, and soon the students would be here. She didn’t realize that Paul was talking to her due to being acknowledged by the wrong name. ”Oh it’s Ciara.” She smiled but had to stifle back a laugh, she supposed that Sara was close to Ciara.

Roderick got a smile and a wave. ”Good evening, Roderick.” As did the Headmistress, ”And Good Evening to you Regina.” She had worked with her, her first two years at Ilvermorny. Relieved that she had told them the students would be arriving soon. Rounding off the last of the staff was Rose and River. That was all of them now, correct? ”Hello Rose, Healer Reed.” She raised her hand and waved to both of them. These feast always used to take forever, and they still did.
