It was tea of course, no one came to a party unprepared. ”I…um, its tea…mum helped me pick it” that was the truth, well sort of. Her mother had bought it and likely would know where it had ended up when she checked the tea stores in the kitchen…still, Laurel needed tea.
As Beth practically bounced her way over to her Laurel almost expected her to call her auntie. Because let’s face it they were practically family since she and Beth's mother were tight friends. Beaming broadly she said refraining from giving Beth a hug. "Hi Anabeth! It's a pleasure to meet you too. Send back my regards to your mother when you owl her next."
When a tin dropped onto the table Laurel blinked first confused but then she saw what it was a smiled at Beth appreciatively. "Aw for me, thank you dear. I love all sorts of tea, but green tea is a favourite just like your mother knows." It was healthy too. Quote:

She reached in her bag and pulled out a handful. "Can I interest you in a chocolate frog, Whizbee, orrr a jelly slug maybe?" Kye was confident she had everything under the sun packed in her sweets bag, but that was what had made it into her handful. Valkyrie 'Kye' was the next snake student to arrive down from the feast and dorm. As she came over Professor Vance greeted her with a smile. "Hello Kye! My summer was lovely. I got plenty of sun and had time to meet with family and friends. How was your summer Kye?"
As the Kye presented her with chocolate frogs Laurel hesitated at first but then thought, why not? And asked "Can i try a jelly slug please?" She hadn't eaten those in years.

Hopefully this year nothing will get trashed. “hello Professor, hey all y’all.” Patrick blushed, being back in the states brought his southern accent back stronger than at the end of the year. Looking around he tried to wait for sweets a bit. Seeing Patrick, wow he really had grown over the summer Laurel noted with surprise. Must have been at least a few inches. "Hi Patrick! Did you have a good summer?" she called over, flashing him a smile. She also noted in the corner of her eye and heard how Skylar came in and adverted for the quidditch team. Quote:

Near the fireplace she noticed what had to be their Head of House. Lydia made a mental note to get on her good side as soon as possible. Professor Vance, that was her name.
Feeling shyer than usual, Lydia stepped forward. "Hello," she said. "I'm Lydia Beckett. Pleased to meet you, Professor Vance." First years were Laurel had found always easy to pin point because they tended to hover near the doorways to take everything and everyone in. It was good that they did. Showed that they had some sense. As the girl got up the courage to approach her Laurel was ready with a welcoming smile. "Hi Lydia, I'm pleased to meet you too! Welcome to Slytherin! I’m Professor Laurel Vance and I teach Divination as well as being the snakes Head of House."

"Good evening, Professor Vance," the Head Girl greeted her Head of House and noted the presence of the beverages and Bertie Bott's. Hmmmm. But important matters first, of course. Vivian made sure the last of the students entered the common room before shutting the entrance and joining Skylar in the entire introduction thing. Flynn’s entrance and intro post had not gone unnoticed. He always had to make some kind of impression. But directing them to Vivian and expecting payment for answering younger students questions now that was something that Laurel would have words with him about later.
Turning her gaze to Vivian that had shut the entrance after the last snake Laurel beamed "Good evening Vivian! Did you have any problems on the way down from the feast i hope?" Quote:

"Good evening studentsies! Can Nimma be of assistance?"
She looked around with a warm smile, hoping to help in anyway she could! A loud POP was heard and next minute an elf appeared in the common room offering assistance. Waving Nimma over Laurel asked "Good evening Nimma! Can you assist me with the refreshments and handing out of bertie bott beans?" Letting her blue eyes scan over the gathering snake students Laurel deemed that it was high time to start because the night wasn’t getting younger. Clapping her hands to get attention and motioning for the students to come closer she beamed broadly at all of them. "Welcome all new and old Slytherin students to a new exciting year of learning hear at Hogwarts! I’m Professor Laurel Vance and I’m your Head of House and I also teach Divination. Your house leaders Vivian, Flynn and Skylar have already presented themselves to you but if you have questions, concerns, worries or anything you are all always welcome to come visit me in my office. And the grumpy spectre over there in the corner is the Bloody Baron our Slytherins house ghost."
Taking out her wand Laurel flicked it a few times to make a big spinning wheel with Bertie Bott Beans Flavours listed around the circle beside her. Excitedly she pointed to it as she explained "Your student leaders and I thought it’d be fun to have Bertie Bott tasting tonight with an extra spin. Everyone has to come up at least once and give the wheel a spin and then eat the bean flavour that the wheel stops on. You can be lucky or unlucky! It’s up to chance! It's fun, I’ll show you!" And just like that Laurel turned to wheel and gave it spin. When it stopped, landing on Sugared Violet she thought she had heared an odd noise but since nobody else seemed to hear it she shrugged and went over to the bean basket and picked out the right bean. Plucking the violet into her mouth she sucked on it and exclaimed ”Ooh that was sugary! Now come on up everyone and try!!!"
OOC: Welcome to this terms start of term party! As Laurel said spin the wheel of bertie bott flavours and then have your student eat the bean and react and let’s just have fun together!
