Maya had quickly started scanning the area, keeping an extra eye on those...
not-french visitors. Yes, yes, she had already forgotten the name of their school. But who could blame her, she wasn't used to all of this.
Although...it did remind her of her big family dinners at home.
Sigh.
Her focus was interrupted by the voice of her neighbour and she turned her head towards the woman.
"Oh, hello," Maya reached out a hand towards Lexi, her spanish accent taking control of her english.
"Very nice to meet you! My name is Maya Saylen," she said, quite happy to finally get to know her colleagues. And this woman didn't seem as freaky as some of the students - exellent.
"I am the new..." the title was a handfull!
"Care of Magical Creatures professor." Nod.
"Do they always have this ...grand feast here?" She was refering to the other shools and the big parades...

I hope you'll make our guests welcome, and I hope you will take an opportunity to get to know them and to learn more about their cultures. Headmaster Zitnik and Headmistress Enzo have traveled a great distance with their four champions, and we are pleased to have them."
He waited a moment before continuing. "Our own champions will be selected very soon. Sometime in the next few days, the Goblet of Fire will be set up in the Entrance Hall. Any student who will be turning 17 during this school year is eligible to put their name into the Goble, which will select four Hogwarts candidates from that pool. By putting your name in the Goblet, you acknowledge the understanding that you are putting yourself into peril. I don't intend anyone to die... but it happens. An age line will be set up around the Goblet, as per usual, to repel anyone not old enough."
Another pause. "I regret to inform the students that Quidditch will be suspended for the term, but we hope to resume it next term. On that cheery note, I welcome all our new students and staff members, bid you eat and drink while the food is abundant, and then... to bed!" He clapped and the tables were suddenly laden with food. The feasting could begin.
And then it seemed Headmaster Tate would be the one to adress everyone with this speech.
Maya had hada clue what was going on, what the term would bring them all, but it was still nice to get a refresher. She nodded in understanding and let her eyes look out over the students again, seeing their reaction.
All in all, it seemed to be a great EXCITING-
''I don't intend anyone to die... but it happens.''
She turned her head and stared at the Headmaster. Was he serious? It seemed Maya had not fully understood THAT part of the game.
Ay, Merlín... No, nono...surely, no one was going to get THAT hurt...that would be RIDICULOUS and innapropriate and... idiotic.
Right?

"And oh, yes, the feast is really good. I hope you're enjoying yourself, professor. But..." He trailed off, purposely. Things that he was about to say shouldn't be heard by anyone but the person he was intending to pass his message on. Cedric moved closer to the professor and muttered in almost hoarse whisperings, "If not, unfortunately. Why not talk to the guy I just talked to and let him make your day, Ma'am?" She wouldn't regret it. Ced was sure. He always was.
But...
Please. Don't. Give. Him. A. Detention. Pweeeze.
A small frown appeared on her brow as Maya cautiously watched the young man. She chuckled softly - and not in a happy way. She was NOT going to call him Cedric just because he wanted her to.
And then suddenly the boy leaned in. Maya, quite surprised at what he was doing, blinked a few moments before leaning back.
...
What the hell did that mean!?
Allright, no more.
She stood up, put her hands on the table to let her arms support herself - looking quite stern.
"Mister Leone, I suggest you go take a seat RIGHT NOW before something more unintelligible decides to barge out from your mouth. And I assure you...I do not have any problems taking points from you for interrupting dinner." She raised her eyebrows. What's it going to be?
But it seemed the boy had taken
someone elses suggestions.
Right. Sitting down again, she glanced towards Lexi and took a deep breath.
