Norman’s face brightened at the sight of Amy’s (Amelia) snacks, and he chuckled. “Ho ho, I stand corrected,” he said. “Nice spread you’ve got here!” He bobbed his head in time to the music playing, biting into one of Tiffany’s (Tinka) pastries. It tasted every bit as awful as it looked, but he wasn’t going to say anything about it. The poor dear must be overworked!

He smiled, waving at the three latest arrivals (Brandon, Phoebe and Emma). “Brayden, Fifi, Ewart, hello! Nice to see you! Would you like some candy?” He held the bag out to each of them in turn, giving it a little shake. His smile grew into a big toothy grin as the other house elf (Beezley) and Bridget (Bryony) took him up on his candy offer. “Help yourselves; there’s plenty to go around!”

Did anyone else want candy? Kids? Amy (Amelia)? Drew (Dhruv)? Norman’s aquamarine eyes scanned the group, lingering for a moment on Drew… who seemed to be ignoring everybody. Okay, no candy for you then. Suit yourself, Grumpy Gus! And speaking of Grumpy Guses…

Norman’s smile vanished under Hallie’s (Hady) narrowed eyes as she rather rudely turned down his candy offer. He pouted, his lip even trembling a bit. Why did she have to be so mean?! He was just trying to be friendly! His sadness was every bit as over-the-top as his cheeriness. Looking like a wounded puppy, he stormed off. Even if he had ice coffee, he wouldn't share it with an ice queen like her!

Stupid ice queen… Cherie would never have talked to him like that! She was the best friend he ever had, always warm-hearted and fun and… he missed her so much! He was really trying not to act like a Donny Downer in front of the kids, but thinking of her broke his heart! Fortunately, Amy’s (Amelia) directions distracted him before he could start crying. Yes, a game was just the thing he needed to get his good mood back!

Norman smiled as Fifi (Phoebe) and Emily (Emmeline) joined his group. “Hey, girls! Of course you can join,” he replied. “Let’s win this thing!” He was in it to win it! An idea suddenly occurred to him. More people meant more chances of winning, and he knew just how to recruit people to his team. “Follow me to the seventh floor corridor! Everyone who joins Team Carton gets FREE CANDY!!!”

OOC: For anyone interested in cleaning the upper floors, I'll be posting Prof. Carton at the Seventh Floor Corridor within the next 24 hours!

Desiree smiled in reply to Professor Adara’s greeting. More smiles followed for the students who arrived after her, this time accompanied by friendly waves. “Hi, Vera! Hi, Emmeline! Hi, Bryony! Hi, Brandon! Hi, Phoebe! Hi, Emma!”

The two house elves (Tinka and Beezley) likewise got a friendly wave in greeting. “Hello, Beezley. Hello, Tinka,” she said. She shook her head, glancing at Tinka’s pastries. Those didn’t look appetizing at all, and besides, she wasn’t really hungry. “No thank you, Tinka. They’re too pretty to eat!”

No matter how the pastries looked, she was sure Tinka had worked hard to make them. It was odd that she was still burning pastries, though. Almost as odd as the fact that Beezley was still grumpy. Come to think of it, half the professors here were grumpy too! Professor Paton’s arrival was greeted with a polite nod; Professor Khanna’s hard stare barely got so much as a blink.

Desiree listened to the game instructions carefully. Points for cleaning… sounded interesting! She wondered if the point values were different for chores done with magic versus manually, but two things distracted her before she could ask her question. The first was Professor Carton She stared, mouth agape. What in the name of Walt Disney was happening?! In all her time at Hogwarts, she couldn’t recall him storming off that way or looking so sad! Come to think of it, she couldn’t recall seeing him show much emotion at all, besides an occasional smile or look of concern!

The other distraction came in the form of an eerily familiar name, Ewart. Desiree distinctly heard both Beezley and Professor Carton say it. Two people (well, one person and one elf) acting odd who just happened to know that name… Hearing Emma’s question, she replied in a whisper, “She did, and did he just call you-? That can’t be a coincidence!” Although she was personally inclined to join Professor Adara (the only professor here who wasn’t acting completely bonkers!), getting to the bottom of this was more important! She returned Emma’s look with a nod, immediately taking the hint. Yes, she would definitely be going to the library!
