Wait. a. moment.
Sleep on the floor in a bag? That was easily the dumbest thing Cy had ever heard of. Cy thought surfing was odd at first, until he tried it and enjoyed it. But sleeping in a bag? That was DUUUUUUUUUMBBBB. "WHAT! What a bunch of jokers." The Aussie shook his head at the thought. Wow.
Looking across the great hall, Cy spotted someone he hadn't seen in ages. Cy's short attention span had officially kicked into full power. "Ah I gotta run, great chattin' Professah! See you in class!" With a respectful salute, the Hufflepuff had darted off yet again.
He was, as usual, all over the place.
Before Marcus could even reply to the young Huffie, he was off and running to...somewhere. "Er...yeah catch ya later Cy." He shook his head and chuckled softly at the boy's retreating back.
Kids today.

Marcus gave the young girl a huge grin and picked up the piece of pie. "You are now my best friend in the whole wide world." Well right along side his wife and Jake of course. "I really love pie" he said as he took a bite and closed his eyes savoring the delicious taste.

It's nice to meet you both."
"It's a pleasure to meet you Evelyn" Marcus replied giving the girl a warm smile. "Yeah Hogwarts is great but I do love the Australian weather and beaches. Unfortunately Hogwarts doesn't have a beach and the weather is...a...bit...yucky." He had grown up in England but when he was in the band he had traveled all over the world and Australia certainly did have the best weather.

"Still wwwwanna go hhhhome," he commented quietly. Sure, he'd buckle down and do some work... Well, he'd do all his work, go to all his classes, try to get good grades... But he wanted to go home. Jake'd do anything to go to smuggle school instead. "But... I gggguess I huhh-have to ssstay."
"Yes you do" Marcus said giving him a somewhat stern look but his eyes were twinkling with amusement. "We're going to have so much fun this year, I have lots of fun things planned."
Except for camping.
There will be no camping.
His eyes moved to the staff table and he frowned slightly as he looked at the new DADA professor. Marcus didn't know why they had hired the man but he didn't like it either. He lent down and spoke to Jake in a low voice. "Make sure you behave yourself this term especially in DADA, okay?"

" I thought we were good friends and had a good time at Jason's but apparently Avery forgot who her friends could be at times " Rex told Kay.
"Glad to hear it Kay and I hope you are nice and refreshed and ready for a new year at Hogwarts." Marcus gave the young girl a smile and then turn to the young boy that she had introduced.
"It's nice to meet you too Rex. The name is Professor Lawson." He stuck his hand out for the boy to shake.

"Hello, Professor Lawson!" she smiled cheerily. "Glad to be back, but also nervous as it's OWL year.I hope you had a good summer?" She was sure others would ask the same question, and he'd get sick of answering, but hey ho.
"Hello Sarah" Marcus greeted the girl and gave her a huge smile. "Ah yes a very important year for you. Oh and congratulations on becoming Hufflepuff's newest Prefect, I am sure you will do a fantastic job." He chuckled at her question, it seemed he had been asked that a hundred times already but he didn't mind answering it. "I had an excellent summer, thank you Sarah. How was yours?"

Sidney's not too sure about the new Headmaster. He certainly not what she expected. Sidney had envisioned someone more like Albus Dumbledore with the half moon glasses and the twinkle in his eyes. Sort of a great grandfather figure. "I've been reading too much Harry Potter. I thought Hogwarts would be just like it was when he was here." All the same Sidney's going to keep an eye on the new Headmaster. I imagine he will keep things hopping around here.
"Er..."Marcus had to think for a moment what the hell a laptop was. Oh yeah he remembered Jake had shown him one. It was like a small computer and it sat on your lap...um...hence the name.
Cheyah!!
He would get the hang of the whole muggle thing even if it killed him. Wouldn't want to let Kazi get the better of him. "Sorry no laptop in my office, like you said they won't work here at Hogwarts." And Marcus would have no idea how to operate one anyway.
Marcus chuckled at Sidney's assumption of Hogwarts, "I think a lot of things have changed since Harry Potter attended the school."

Though, as more people told her that she would do a outstanding job, it did make her feel a little bit better about everything. "I have something to give you later, Professor. I might just drop by your office sometime this week," she told him. She was referring to the amulet that he had given her last term to contact him if she saw Jake acting weirder than usual. Considering the fact it was a new term now, Reese figured that she wasn't going to need it anymore, so she might as well give it back to him.
Marcus was sure that Reese would do an excellent job as Prefect, she wouldn't have been picked if her Head of House didn't have the utmost faith in her. "Oh?" He gave Reese a look surprise, of course he had totally forgotten about the amulet he had given her last term. So he was getting all excited at the prospect of being given chocolate.
Lawson sure did like chocolate.
