 Lovely™ | Captain Hurted | Ariana's Bane | Resident Antagonist | Unparalleled Delight
"Evening, Neva, Winston." Though he hadn't exactly struggled with this last year, it was much easier to remember the names of his colleagues when he was not the new boy at the table. The students had taken longer, but he'd been on top of it. Now it was only new colleagues, transfers, and first years to commit to memory. Much easier.
Kamran was... he was going to stop thinking about names now.
Most everyone got a nod or 'good evening' or a 'lovely evening, yes'. It wasn't that he didn't particularly want to talk, more that he simply preferred not to lean across or behind people and call down the table to strike up a conversation with anyone more than a few seats away. The new History of Magic professor, Simon, was sat immediately to Kamran's left, which made things easier. "Of course," he said lightly. "But then, I suppose it wouldn't feel like Hogwarts, otherwise." Slytherins, honestly. Kamran had no qualms about thinking it, given he'd been one of them, and had known his fair share of trouble once upon a time. Turning his attention to the table in question, Kamran noted...
... nothing at all. He followed the headmaster's lead, left things unremarked upon, and instead nodded in acknowledgement. "Looking forward to it." True enough, though Kamran was prepared for these kids to regard anything new with the utmost suspicion. And who could blame them, after everything, not to mention that Poppy woman trying to turn them all into dough-for-brains zen zombies.
