curly haired prefect - "sometimes I get angry!" - 30/90 - *chicken emoji* - probably @ Disney - I speak dog As Gabi approached the staff table, her eyes were immediately drawn to the fact that Trent was...not there. That was highly unlike him. Usually he beat everyone to the feast. She hadn't heard any word of him resigning, but given his attitude last term, she wouldn't have been surprised if he had just decided to NOT come back and hadn't bothered to tell anyone. The Trent she knew when she had gotten hired would never have done that, but she also hadn't imagined him banishing a ghost into complete nothingness - and that had happened less than a year ago.
Her eyes quickly took in the new staff members and she FULLY intended to introduce herself when her eyes settled in Schmoe, and she found herself sighing heavily with an eyeroll. "For Merlin's sake, Finneas, I'd like there to be ONE term where I don't have to treat any fellow staff members in the hospital wing," she grumbled, sitting down and glaring at him while also pulling out her wand, ready to vanish that blasted finger thing if he needed her to.
Was she a bit irritable? Yes. She had a whole new group of colleagues she had to get to know, AND their Headmaster, who was supposed to be their fearless leader, was no where in site. When he DID show up, he was probably just going to be in a foul mood. So yes, she had every right to be a little bit grumpy.
Oh, right, the new staff members! She paused and turned to the her left and then her right, plastering a smile on her face. "Hello all! Gabriela Recard - History of Magic and Healer," she introduced herself pleasantly to them. Short, sweet, and to the point - she'd be much more up for chatting once the feast got underway.
