Of course, Regina had a good idea of what the man had done, considering the marvelous state the library had been last term. Already she was impressed with him for quickly transporting his entire office up there.

On her way back to her seat, she was temporarily stopped by Laurel. This time the American acknowledged the woman, forgiving her and Haraldur slightly for not sitting in the right seat considering how everything turned out with Roderik being seated on her left side now. A smile was returned to the Divination professor before she replied, "Hello, Laurel. Yes, I did have a good summer. I spent a fair amount of my summer in Cairo again, doing some low-key curse-breaking business and catching up with old friends." Rosalyn heard that too, right? Regina had quickly left to go have a quick chat with Kalen earlier after all.

And she carried on to her own seat the moment the woman mentioned to Rose that she was having a reoccurring dream. Already the headmistress could see where that conversation was going. Dire times were ahead, hmm? All Seers were the same one way or another...

She didn’t expect him to react in any way to her placing a hand on his arm. Regina liked Roderik for that, how he so nonchalant about everything. But the woman could tell that something was off about him tonight. Hopefully the conversation was helping, even just a little for the moment until it was time to leave the hall. "This is true. And I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully it'll be a lot quieter and not as dramatic with certain guests not being here this term." He undoubtedly knew which ones she meant by that.

Then there was Paul Myers trying to capture her attention, which he was, in the end, successful in doing since it was just Roderik’s body, in Haraldur's seat, between them. Normally one of her eyebrows would have rose at the fact that he needed to speak with her, but this time she wasn't caught off by the request. She had gotten used to him and his frequent visits. And he wasn’t wearing his poncho, which meant that he was on her good side so far this term. "Will tomorrow after classes work for you, Paul? My office?" Though they were phrased as questions, the time was really nonnegotiable.

Following the completion of the ceremony, with the last first year to take their seat at one of the four House tables, Regina rose from her chair and made her way around the table for the golden owl podium. This term she wasn't going to waste any time getting that speech of hers out of the way. Not to mention this year's opening speech was going to be short and sweet.

"Welcome to those of you who are brand new to Hogwarts," she began, looking more so toward the front of the tables at the recently sorted. Her gaze then shifted back toward the rest of the students that filled up the rest of the space at each of the four tables. "And welcome back to those of you who are returning for another year. If you all will allow me, I have just a few announcements to give before we enjoy our marvelous feast.

"First, you will notice just a few staff changes this term. Over the summer, our former Astronomy professor, Keiyona Berkovich, and former Potions professor, Ciara Canterbury, resigned, leaving their spots to be filled in. I am pleased to announce that two already familiar faces, for those of you who have returned to us, will be taking their place. Please join me in a round of applause to welcome Professor Kalen Kennedy to Astronomy and Professor River Reed to Potions as they add teaching onto their previous responsibilities at the school."

Regina first gestured toward Kalen at the end of the table to her left and then made a gesture toward River at the other end before joining the crowd in applause.

"Lastly, with Hogwarts not playing host to an inter-school competition this term," -- that was all she was going to say on that matter and deliberately forgot to mention how the Governors were going to be paying numerous visits over the term so they could 'help improve the current state of things' -- "the school's previously scheduled extra-curricular gaming and sporting activities will be coming back full swing this term. So put your game-faces on and get ready for some healthy inter-school competition." Except for Quidditch obviously, considering things there were still under investigation.

"With all of that said, here is to the start of a new term. May it be filled with much learning and growing as well as great memories. Dig in!" she concluded with a clap of her hands Within a matter of seconds, the food and drinks appeared and the headmistress was making her way back to her seat.
