 too many ppl mentioned + Staff table things Little Fox | ˝ of Lauralie | Ravenclaw with a Hufflepuff heart and a Gryffindor soul | #HouseNATARIANA
Tessa grinned at Abra and nodded. "Oh, I'm definitely going to!! I'm going to need all the fun I can get this year. Y'know, with OWLs and everything." They were going to wipe her out, she just knew it. She was NOT prepared. Ha ha ha. It was a good thing she didn't care enough to worry. She turned her attention briefly to Rylee who had just asked how everyone's summers were. She grinned at the younger girl. "Mine was pretty good, thank you!! It was good to get away from school for a while." Well, not school exactly - yeah, shocking. It was more like getting away from Hogwarts had been good. It was constant drama here. Some kinds of #drama were okay in Tessa's opinion but Hogwarts' brand of drama was not. "Did you have a good summer??" She was sure that most people would have been relieved to get away from Hogwarts for the summer, too.
It was still nice coming back, though.
Some new Gryffindors (incl. Lucas and Stella) were joining the table now and Tessa offered little waves to each of them as they sat down. "Welcome to Gryffindor!!!" She said enthusiastically with a huge grin. They looked so cute and TINY. She couldn't believe that she had once been that small, too. She turned her head to yawn - she didn't want them thinking she thought they were boring or anything - and her attention was captured by Anna who was loudly proclaiming that 'EVERYONE SHOULD TRY OUT'. This seemed to be directed at everyone. Tessa's suspicions were confirmed when she glanced down and saw that Anna was wearing the Captain's badge. That cleared up her earlier question of who the Quidditch Cap was now.
Another firstie (Józef) joined the table and he seemed less than happy to be there. At least it appeared that way from his lack of a smile. He was wearing sunglasses so couldn't really be sure. "Hey! Welcome to Gryffindor!!" She exclaimed as he took a seat nearby, then added, "nice shades." They were. She didn't know how appropriate they were for inside the Great Hall on a rainy day, though, but she also didn't know his reasons for wearing them so she wasn't going to say anything.
Tessa stole another moment to speak to Stas. "You'll have to tell me all about it later!!" She wanted to know ALL the details. Then, looking up when Stas mentioned it, she noticed two men at the staff table. One of them had made himself comfy in the seat next to the Headmistresses and the other was handing something to her, which she began reading. "Maybe," she agreed when Abra suggested that there could be a new Professor, but then the Headmistress stood up.......and left.......
What was going on?
"Where is she going?" She asked to nobody in particular. |
