 mostly Kay and Joshua Mischievous Niffler
Alice returned the greetings to all her colleagues, both from those she knew and from the newcomers. The newcomers were certainly a - shall we say - interesting bunch - especially that Dolly woman. She found it somewhat comforting to see so many new faces - new faces meant people who were unaware of how she had supported Julian for most of the last year. That was an embarrassing thing that she would rather everyone just forget about.
Kay's return greeting was as nice as Alice expected it to be, though she could tell (from how the events of last term were mentioned right away) that Kaysha didn't completely trust her. Or maybe Alice's natural paranoia was just acting up again. Regardless, it wouldn't stop her from being nice to the Muggle Studies professor. "That's good," she said. 'My summer was very orderly and quite uneventful, thank you." She glanced towards the Ravenclaw table with narrowed eyes. "Ugh!" The Ravenclaws were not the source of her ire, though - that Ugh! was meant for the little furry creature moving among them. "What IS that thing?"
Then Joshua happened, ruining her concentration. Wow, AGAIN, Joshua (??!?), thought Alice furiously as she inclined herself as far away as possible from the dripping water falling around Kay to avoid getting hit. Surely he did that on purpose! This was the second year in a row that he'd done something to Kay at the start of term feast - and in front of all the students too. "Good evening, Joshua," she returned his greeting with just a hint of coolness to her voice. Not too cool, just a hint. "Please don't make me wet. I hate getting wet."
Because some drops had definitely fallen on her too.
