Not missing a beat, he applauded the next to be sorted as he sunk into his seat.

"Sorry about that. Had a student that needed attention." He informed his staff. Which reminded him. Trent leaned forward onto the table to address Carmine. "May need you looking him over later, precaution if nothing else." Just as a heads up.

It seemed he'd actually missed quite a lot because before he knew it, the sorting was over and it was time for him to address the crowd.

Malachi paused a moment to settle himself then rose with his goblet. With his fork, he began knocking the side, the sound magnified to catch the attention of everyone present. "Greetings!" He began cheerfully. Best to start high, work your way to a comfortable medium then end on the standard threats. Start with the threats first and some would completely ignore everything else in their panic. "Whether you're happy to be back here or not, I'm happy to see your bright faces." Courtesy of the current lighting rather than any real glee but details details. "To those of you joining us for the first time, well, good luck. Follow the lead of your older peers, they've proven adept at staying alive and I'd take it as a personal favour if you did too." Just asking. Dolly was enough, thanks.

"We've got quite a few new faces on staff this term--not that some of you would know but I'll go ahead all the same. To the very right, our new Healer and Ancient Runes Professor, Carmine Beryl. Next to her taking on Arithmancy, Professor Ayana Sissay. Professor Simran Sandhu will be your new Astronomy Professor and Professor Grant Cornish will be taking over Care of Magical Creatures. Returning, after years of service sometime back, Professor Piers Fuller-Thompson doing Charms and Groundskeeping. Now I know many of you miss Professor Dopple but let's not make this weird for him." Dolly would do that all on her own, he had no doubt. "We have Thereos, a forbidden forest resident centaur aiding with Divination this term, please ask him what he'd like to be called. Nod even if you don't understand." Because the explanations would only get worse and more convoluted. "To my very left, Colin Mackenzie. He'll be your new flying Professor and Quidditch Official. Many of you know Professor Sutton. She'll be taking over the role of Herbology Professor and at the very end, our new Transfiguration Professor, Mitchell Barlow." Here he waited for the applause and continued to wait until it died down.

"It's been a long ride, I'm sure many of you are exhausted so I'll make the rest of this quick. The forbidden forest, you guessed it, forbidden. Locked doors around the castle? Locked for a reason, leave them that way. Strange noises? At least take a friend along. One of you needs to live to warn the others, that's common courtesy. ANYTHING pink, fluffy and likely to eat everything in its path? Report it immediately. I don't like giving detention, you don't like having detention. I'm not sure which of us enjoys it less, but we'll find out if you break school rules. Actions have consequences. Poorly plan your pranks, get sloppy, reckless, don't think it through well enough and get caught and by Merlin everyone will agree you'll have deserved it. Right. Let's eat!"

He sat down and watched the food begin to appear but shot right back up before anyone could dig in. "Oh! One more thing! Classes begin bright and early in the morning. You'd be wise to get a good night's sleep. I don't have to tell the returning students but for our first years anyone late to Defense Against the Dark Arts will not be allowed to enter. Curious to know what will happen after that? You shouldn't be, that's silly. Just be on time. Now we can eat." Back in his seat, he reached for the gravy for this mashed potato. Mmmmmmmm.
