Quickly adjusting her wine-colored robes and the dress beneath it, Macadrian strode over to the group of Badgers already seated and greeted them, "Welcome Hufflepuffs! For those of you new to Hogwarts, I am the Head of Hufflepuff House and Arithmancy Professor, Macadrian Shackleton. I hope that you will enjoy your time in Hufflepuff house and should you ever have a question or need some assistance, please don't hesitate to stop by my office or contact the House prefects if I cannot be reached."
Elan looked up from his platter as the Head of House came up and boisterously greeted the huffie students. He gave a casual wave, as he didn't really get much chance to talk to the professor, so he didn't wish to appear as a boot licker. He happily returned to his cup of blackberry juice and the pumpkin tarts laid out neatly before him. The pumpkin tarts had been made in a savory manner with a luscious butter sauce that made the tarts quite moist.
He looked around at the table and realized he probably needed to make some more friends in his won house. It seemed that all of his 'friends' were from other houses.
