Wouldn't be a start of term feast without a little chaos, am I right?

1. Adorable Mutant Spotting! (Ravenclaw & Hufflepuff house tables)

Ravenclaw Table

He was glad he had escaped that magical container and now could explore and see everything.

Making his way over to those in blue, the mustant climbed up and settled down atop the table before one of several little humans already present (Kaira). He made a little noise that vaguely resembled giggling. Attention please.

Hiiii, he all but screamed with his eyes. The mutant spun a 360 to look at the others close by. Cuddles please?

Looking up at the brown haired girl (Chloe) he tentatively stretched out a pink paw toward her, making small little giggle like noises as if inviting her for cuddles. His little noises were next directed at the boy (Charlie) who was petting him. That felt niiiiice.

More please.

The mutant looked back to the badged girl with her hand stretched out. He jumped over to her, settling on her shoulder so he could nuzzle at her neck.

The little mutant was happy, he simply LOVED nuzzling cuddles. He was a little displeased that the other girl (Charlie) had stopped petting him. Couldn’t she tell he adored pets, so why did she stop?

When the two girl's (Nettie & Chloe) started to squeal loudly about him the little mutant got excited by all their attention and made excited giggle like noises in their directions. Next moment though he got distracted by the commotion over by the green table and just up and dissapeared.

Hufflepuff Table

When he finally took a seat, it was on the plate in front of a boy (Matthew). The mutant stretched out his little, right paw outward, meeting the boy’s eyes with his own curiously as if asking for a cuddle.

All the sights and sounds were a lot to take in after the solitude of the cage but he decided he liked it.

Oh? What was that?

He moved toward a plate and sniffed at it but there was another empty plate too. Abandoning the first, he went to sniff at the next. Back and forth he went, unable to choose one.

2. Toddles searching for his precious Fluffsies (Gryffindor & Slytherin tables)

Text Cut: you okay there, Toddles? o__O

Gryffindor Table

Toddles made a boo boo and Toddles was not even sure how he had. One minute he had been sitting and cuddling with Fluffsies and Cheeksies, being a very hospitable elf and giving them the tour of their new home and telling them all sorts of stories that Nimma had told him....but then Toddles blinked and Fluffsies was GONE.

With so many Mister Masters and Missus Mistresses and studentsies around...what if Fluffsies got stepped on?!

Floppy ears even more limp than usual, Toddles was on all fours crawling and caaaaarefully inspecting every crack in the cobbly stone floors in case Fluffsies may have slipsies into them. Crawling and crawling and crawling some more, Toddles made his way to the Gryffindor table and crawled right on under it and over the tops of all the feetsies of the studentsies. His boney elbows and knees over their shoes making a very pointed entrance.

"Fluffsies? Fluffsies? Toddles looking for you, Fluffsies!"

Pausing ever so briefly to look over his shoulder (HAD THAT SHUFFLE BEHIND HIM BEEN FLUFFSIES?!), Toddles was greeted with an icy blast that had him never going back. Past steps would be past steps. Yup.

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEOUCH!" Toddles wailed as Jack Frost nipped at his nose and ear, promptly turning them into cold cold COLD frozen house elfcicles. So surprised Toddles was that he jumped to his feet, but even small elfsies like Toddles were taller than the underside of the long tables in the Great Hall and the back of his head STRUCK its underside with a loud THUD. His large round eyes were full of water and leaking as he crawled out from under the table, lopsided and top-heavy from his frozen bits.

"Oh, Missus Hurry!" Toddles lamented when he saw he had crawled out near one of the studentsies he had met in Diagon Alley. She had been ever so helpful, along with Missus Vanilla, in helping Toddles purchase Cheeksies with Mister Master Headmaster's galleons. "Toddles is looking for HIS Fluffsies. Toddles looked away only for a bit, Toddles did. But when Toddles look back, HIS Fluffsies was not in its home!"

Turning his head towards Missus Stasya and one of the new little missus, an obvious tilt thanks to his frozen ear, a few extra large drops fell from his saucer sized eyes. "Toddles' pet. Toddles promise to take good case of HIS Fluffsies! Toddles must find HIS Fluffsies before HIS Fluffsies gets stepped on!"

What if Fluffsies already HAD?! No no. Not possible. His Fluffsies was too cute for stepping feetsies.

"Toddles not sure what HIS Fluffsies is," Toddles pouted at the Missus Stella. "But Toddles no no names of many creatures. Toddles already forget the creature name of the fluffy scrub brushy he named Cheeksies." But Missus Hurry would remember. "Toddles can say that HIS Fluffsies is small and pinksies and Toddles'." The elf nearly growled the last bit in innocent possessiveness. Or maybe not so innocent. "HIS Fluffsies is so small and cute that Toddles know he will never see anything else as cute as long as Toddles lives! Toddles MUST get HIS Fluffsies back!"

Quote:

Toddles' face fell as more and more studentsies were no help to poor Toddles and his plight. Toddles had to find HIS Fluffsies! HAD TO! Even Missus Hurry, whom Toddles had thought was a friend to Toddles, was already thinking about something else. A toad of ALL THINGS! Toads were not HIS Fluffsies. Toads were not cute and fluffy and cuddly and loveable and squeaksies and ugly UGLY colors. HIS Fluffsies was perfect!

"Toddles no wants to talk about Cheeksies! Toddles wants to find his Fluffsies!" he barked in elfish high pitchness at the girl.

So it was with a frown that Toddles stomped his elfy feet and turned with a HUFF. The weight of his frozen ear nearly caused him to fall over he was SO distraught. But Toddles' frozen nose and frozen ear didn't bother him. Not really anyway. The PAIN of being separated from his Fluffsies was much much worse.

Not even Misters Abra and Lucas wanted to help Toddles! Toddles knews their family who had been so kind to Hogwarts. Toddles makes sure never to fluff their pillows or iron their robes again! Not that Toddles does these things to begin with; not so good with the ironing, Toddles was not.

STOMPING his feet for a few paces before getting on his hands and knees once again, Toddles LEFT the Gryffindor table in favor of continuing his search ELSEWHERE.

Slytherin Table

Once again crawling over all the feets of studentsies, Toddles not-so-quietly called out for HIS beloved lost pet. "Fluffsies...Fluffsies...where are you Fluffsies? Come backs to Toddles!"

A couple of more crawls later and Toddles let out a GASP as he saw something PINK sticking out under the footsie of one of the studentsies (Samia), prompting Toddles to crawl even FASTER and SHOVE the shoesie off. "FLUFFSIES? FLUFF....oh." No. Frayed not.

POUTING, Toddles continued his crawl until he spotted another studentsies on the floor too (Shanners), though Toddles had a ways to crawl before her reached that studentsies. Why was this studentsies on the floor? Was she looking for something too? Had SHE stolen HIS Fluffsies and was now grumpy like Argyle because she no finds him too? Toddles big round eyes narrowed as he crawled more quickly over studentsies feetsies and pointed one of his long elf fingers towards her with a sudden change of elfsie heart. Toddles must find Fluffsies on his own! Studentsies would only wants to keepsy Fluffsies because Fluffsies was too cute to ever EVER part with! "Missus shall not take Toddles' Fluffsies!"

What timing

3. AND, our new Headmaster has given his speech!

Slowly, he shook his head at Stewart's question, noting that whatever it was it wasn't causing screams, disorder or panic. "No...no I'm sure the prefects can handle it. That's their job, afterall." It wasn't something wide scaled. They gave the kiddos the badges, they could let them handle the minor things.

The others offering up suggestions on what it could've been told him that he wasn't simply imagining things. There was actually something there that was holding their attention. "Doubt it's a cat, we'd see that for sure and students have all seen a cat." They wouldn't react like that about another...not so many of them anyway. Maybe it was sugar, like Adara mentioned or a run away toad like Noble said. Either way, he was starving and sure they were too.

Malachi stood with his goblet, knocking at the edge with his fork to get their attention.

"Everyone, your attention please." The Headmaster paused a moment to give them a chance to settle. From a standing position, he vaguely caught a glimpse of something pink. A pygmy puff, maybe? Definitely something the prefects could handle without it being blown up. "Welcome to another year at Hogwarts. For the new students settled among us, we find ourselves in the same shoes...well...relatively same. I'm up here, you're down there--but figuratively we're in the same shoes." Ahem. Moving on. "By the positioning of my seat--I guess the fact I'm addressing you too. You know what, there were probably a lot of hints--anyway, it's clear I'm the new Headmaster. My name is Malachi Trent and I look forward to working with you all moving forward." Excited really, but there was no need to put that into the speech.

Briefly, the man peeked down at his hand, a subtle gesture to see the next item on his impromptu list. "After that bit of unpleasantness last term, I think we could all use a fresh start. We do have a few new members on staff. Starting at the very right end of the table, Professor Joseph Flamel will be in charge of the subject of Ancient Runes. Beside him, Professor Justine Aramis taking over Arithmancy." He paused just enough for them to give a small wave or however they wanted to go about that. "Professor Dolly Dopple will take on the position of Charms Professor. On her left, Professor Kassandra Sullen has taken up the post of Divination Professor. To my left, Professor Amelia Adara. She will be the new flying instructor and healer. At the very left end, Professor Joyce Darlington for Transfiguration."

Again, he glanced down at his palm. "Huh?" Oh. "Oh right. As always and as a word of caution to our new students, the forbidden forest is--as you guessed--forbidden. Anyone found in there, if not eaten by the acromantulas or carried off by any number of other things lurking, will have to sit through a particularly non-stimulating detention that may leave you wishing you were eaten. Unless I decide otherwise, then you you may end up eaten afterall through a series of unfortunate circumstances that were likely unintended." Can't say they weren't warned. "On another note, classes begin bright and early in the morning. I know many of you may be excited to be back with your friends but tardiness and lethargy will not be tolerated so get a good night's sleep. You have all year to catch up. But enough from me for now, let's eat!"

He took his seat then and watched the food appear at each table. It was funny how the little moments brought the strongest bits of nostalgia. Something he'd think about once he got his stomach full.

Malachi didn't waste a second before he began piling his plate. Where to start??

plenty of emphasis on the Forbidden Forest
