 Headmaster and Kay! Mischievous Niffler
The dark cranberry robes she wore were fastened around her neck by a golden ribbon with golden lace running down her outfit - these lines moved ever so gently as she walked. If one looked very, very closely, they would see the outline of a bird moving within those lines. Blink and it was gone. The bird was a raven, but she would insist it was a crow if anyone were to ask.
Alice made her way to the staff table, pleased that she was one of the first. She sat down next to Kaysha and placed her elbows on her lap. "Good evening, Kay," she said to her colleague, and she moved to give her a small embrace before sitting back down. "It's so good to see you again. How was your summer?" She rather liked Kay even though she didn't know her very well due to her unfortunate firing last year. Despite Alice having spent so much time being loyal to Julian (which she was very sorry for now), Kay did not seem to be holding a grudge against her for it - and Alice was very thankful for that.
"Good evening, Headmaster," said Alice, smiling and dipping her head respectfully at her new boss. Malachi N. Trent was the third head of Hogwarts she had served under during her past year and one day at Hogwarts - and he was brand new. The woman who hired her had been a fair headmistress. The man that replaced her (Julian) had been terrible - she was willing to admit that after having tried to please him the entire previous year. He had required total obedience, and even then he was never fully pleased. Malachi didn't seem like that, but she knew almost nothing about him. She would have to wait and see.
