He might have been technically back at Hogwarts off and on for the last few weeks getting settled in both in his classrooms and personal spaces, but this…THIS evening was making Marcus feel. Well, a whole fix of feelings. It had been decades since the herbologist had been back at the school of his youth surrounded by the energy of the Start of Term feast. His three children had all passed through it in between for each of their seven years. And now he was back on the other side of things, getting ready to teach the next generation of students.
Nervous was an understatement, but he wasn’t letting it show on his face as he made his way from one of the side doorways and towards the staff dais. Two gentlemen who he had met at various staff gatherings were already there thankfully so it need not appear as his anxiousness had made him early. “Good evening,” he greeted with a polite smile as he stepped up to be level with them, pausing briefly to remember the layout of the seating arrangements. Alphabetical…which made it somewhat easier to think his colleagues with their subjects as he learned everything by counting chairs.
