 ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
The sound of boots echoing through the Hall had them turning their head to see Ean. They lifted their hand in greeting, unknowingly thinking the same about the seating arrangements. They had a feeling the two would continue getting swimmingly along through the school year ahead, and the others to follow should they both remain here. “Evening,’’ was his warm greeting to the Astronomy lady who wouldn’t be seated too far away from them. The duo could have easily struck up a conversation but that would be rude since the newly appointed Gryffindor HoH arrived a short while later.
“Hello. Can’t say I’m not looking forward to my teaching adventures here at Hogwarts.” Teaching was not a new career for them and they were looking forward to an easy transition into this new post. “I’ll be sure to spend a little more time out at the barn though. I was out there briefly yesterday and I saw quite a few interesting creatures.” Finishing off the sentence, Dhruv saw Carton’s arrival which they acknowledged with a nod.
As fate would have it, Dhruv winded up having a spot next to the Headmaster. Not that they were intimidated or anything of that nature. They greeted the old fellow but then arched an eyebrow questioningly. Polar bears? Dhruv hadn’t the foggiest but was willing to humour the man. They were silent for a bit {in case anyone wanted to pipe up with an answer} before rendering a wild guess. “Fifty stones, I would say.” So that was roughly about seven hundred pounds. “It may vary according to gender, however.” |
