The staff sit at a table on the raised dais at the front of the Great Hall.

Success!! He wasn't, in the strictest sense, on time, but he'd certainly improved his time from last year. He'd been worried that they would have to start the feast without him. His map was working a bit better now, thanks to the charm he'd managed to come up with for it. So, it was with a light step that Professor Bontecou practically waltzed up to the staff table. His robes were impeccably and uncharacteristically pressed, but he seemed to have forgotten to give his glasses equal attention. They were a bit crooked on his face and just as filmy and spocked as usual.

"Good evening," he grinned at the staff and then flopped into the headmistress's chair. He straightened up when he remembered that it WAS the headmistress's chair and treated it with a bit more reverence. Cassandra Rae sat here. After a moment of hero worship-type drooling, Rey nudged Less. "Hey, fancy meeting you here."

I'm Angela Kohan, the librarian."

Iliana smiled. She loved it whenever people commented on her name and she certainly agreed. A unique name it was. Just like all of her sisters. "Well, thank you Angela. I'm sure I will see you quite often. I am always on the hunt for a gook book." she said. "And please....call me Ili."

Seeing that Less has finished her conversation with the others, Iliana stood up from her seat and made her way towards her. "Well, if it isn't Alessia Lupa!" she said. "Oh honey, it is so good to see you."

"Ladies, I'm blinded by such beauty that I see before me. Please, come sit over here so that we won't grow deaf by shouting our words across this massive table." At the same time he kicked Neo's chair. "Be a gentleman and scoot over," he said under his breath and kept smiling.

"Does the word 'please' even exist in your dictionary, Max?" Grumbling lightly, he pushed his chair closer to the Bunbury woman so that Max could sit. Oh..and the man was flirting. Gag.

He felt a little shady after not having found an appropriate wand to replace Betsy at Ollivanders. He had taken a trip to Gregorovitch's Wand shop instead and come away marginally satisfied- though he had suspicions that Loretta would be a handful. He adjusted his stunna shades and made his way slowly to the staff table, casually sliding himself into a seat and stretching his legs out comfortably in front of him.

He looked down and blinked a bit upon seeing a little bag with a note on it;

He made a vaguely curious noise and undid the drawstring, having to lift his sunglasses up to peek inside. Runes. Interesting. His last set had been swallowed by a Nundu. He flicked his head so that his glasses dropped onto his nose and reached inside the little bag with one finger, hooking out three runes and laying them in front of him. Raido, Ehwaz, Sowelu.

Zan mulled over this for a moment; Journey, Change and Spiritual Awakening. He snorted; Gavin would go gaga over that one. Still- it was positive enough. Truebridge picked up the three runes and juggled them with one hand for a few moments before placing them back in the little bag and pulling the drawstring tight again.

Ethan turned his head slightly upon hearing a familiar voice. Bunbury? Herbologist! Herbology Professor. Interesting. He let the low hum of various conversations and introductions wash over him; quite forgetting to introduce himself.

Oh Me, Oh My... she bit her lip. This was going to be a great year...

Charming... but she was going to stay in her chair... no looking desperate.

She turned to the Headmaster and blushed. "You didn't think after my interview I would miss my first day?" She smirked and gestured to her gift on his plate with her chin. "Oh, I got something for all the staff... to sort of say hello... I hope you don't mind."

"Hold on a sec Ili..." she said her eyes still on the Headmaster. Wait! Her head spun toward the woman. "Ili! You're on staff??" She quieted down... stop acting like a student. "Miss Mac- Macademia is the Arithmancy professor, what do you teach?"

Biochemkris · 01-19-2009, 03:27 AM

"Oh! Nifty! I love presents!" he excitedly replied and turned his attention to the gift. He completely neglected the tag and dumped the contents on his plate. "RUNES!" he said a bit too loudly and exuberantly. "These are great, thanks. Now you have to read them for me," he said and stuck out his tongue before putting them back in the little pouch.

Rey pushed his glasses back up his nose and surveyed the students. A year of sitting up here and he still couldn't get used to it. He was just too wrapped up in his memories of sitting down as a student with two spreads: food and books. He wondered how things would go this term...

"Wonderful! I do love it when fellow staff stop by the library. I'll definitely try to have some recommendations when you pass by. Are you interested in any particular genre?"

Macadrian contemplated how she could improve her office for a moment before returning her attention to Angela, "And thank you for your offer to assist my search. I very well may take you up on that offer, as I can certainly use all the help I can get." And with those words uttered out of her mouth, Macadrian had a revelation. The cure to her illness would be found in no time if she simply enlisted the help of her colleagues! Some of these people were the greatest minds of the time and were certainly some of the best in their fields. If anyone could help her get to the bottom of this, it would be them!

Angela laughed softly as Mac spoke of redecorating. "Perhaps, perhaps, I know what you mean, though. It's been a while since anything has changed in my office. I think the only new addition is an adorable kitten that I received from a student last year. In fact..." Reaching down, she opened her bag a bit more and removed a small black kitten with white paws. "Meet Raven."

With another smile, Angela set the kitten on her lap and it curled up immediately. "You're quite welcome."

Noticing other new faces stepping up, Angela gave a smile and nod of welcome before looking curiously at the exuberant Headmaster as he realized his gift.

"I'm the...old groundskeeper," he continued, finishing off his reply to her question.

Still smiling, Anastasia looked from her hand to his hand and back. Perhaps he was socially...backwards? What did he say his name was, again?

"Constantine, it's a pleasure to meet you," Annie said at last, raising a cheeky eyebrow in regards to her hand. "I was offering you a handshake...." she said lightly, trailing off into a shrug as she let her hand fall to the table.

"Groundskeeper though, really?" she continued, her eyebrow still arched. She would have never guessed it from the state of his shoes. "I suppose I will be seeing you outside then?" As long as he avoids my greenhouse, we might just get along...

Her attention was then caught by a booming voice across the staff table. Anastasia leaned back just a bit to see who it belonged to - why, was that Maximus Vindictus, the well-known Heidleburg Harriers champion? But of course it was!

She opened her mouth to say something - since of course, he had mentioned beauty and that was clearly directed towards her - when a slight bump alerted her to the fact that someone was sitting on her other side now.

"Do you teach here as well?" she couldn't resist asking, flicking a long strand of red hair over her shoulder as she watched him play with some bag. Hmmph, men. Easily distracted. "I would have never guessed."

Vindictus winked at her and motioned to an empty seat.

Another wink and Vindictus motioned to yet another empty seat near him. But he shrugged his shoulders and sat down. He leaned in Neo's direction. "Thanks a lot, Mr. Grumpypants. Your sour mood is really irritating. Did you forget how to smile and say nice things to the ladies?" he asked and turned his attention to the students.

angelwing · 01-19-2009, 03:50 AM

Meredith wondered into the Great Hall and looked around. She set her sunglasses on the top of her head. She slung her bag higher on her shoulder, took a deep breath, put a smile on her face and headed towards an available seat at the table. Meredith took a sip of the water glass in front of her.

Anna Banana · 01-19-2009, 03:58 AM

Anna hurried up to the staff table, anxious to talk to Professor Shackleton and get an update on her illness. Anna didn't even glance at the new professors yet. She was too determined to talk to Professor Shackleton first. Even though Anna had known most of the professors many, many years, she still got nervous when she approached them at the staff table. She always managed to feel so...so...young and childish. Anna cleared her throat and rocked back and forth on her feet a few times before speaking. "Erm, Professor Shackleton?" Anna asked, her voice a little quiter than she'd intended. "Please tell me how you've been. I've been really worried, you see."

Iliana watched as Less' eyes darted around the table. She knew her well enough to know that it was the male professors grabbing her attention right now and not the females. She smirked at her and wondered what must have happened to Remi. No longer in the picture she hoped. "I am! And HOW amazing is it that we are gonna be working together again. Its been so long since I've seen you." she said. She looked around at the other interesting faces at the table and raised her eyebrow. Very nice indeed! She couldn't believe that she hadn't noticed prior. Looking back towards Less, she said, "Well actually, I am the new Care of Magical Creatures professor. I see you're still teaching Ancient Runes." She said, pointing towards the lovely gifts that she had left. "Thank was so nice of you, Less. Thank you."

"Of course." she said. "Well, I am really not that picky or hard to please. I just love a story that will leave a lasting impression. Or learning something new. I can't wait to see what little treasures that you might be able to share."

CLONG!

Shluff-shluff.

CLONG!

Shluff-shluff.

CLONG!

shluff-shluff.

A shriveled, ancient man dressed in heavy black woolen robes and a crisp black ascot shuffled into the room, stooped over and leaning heavily on his obsidian cane. He plodded along with the speed of a turtle, slowly making his way to the staff table.

The professor's wizened, dark eyes peered intently at the students seated at the long wooden benches. His eyes paused on each face as though he were memorizing every individual-- which, in fact, he was. He completely stopped occassionally, mumbling softly to himself in a foreign language before he began to shuffle along again.

After an interminable length of time, he finally arrived at the staff table. He attempted to step up onto the dias, lifting his foot up onto the step and nearly losing his balance in the process. He stepped back down and tried again, this time succeeding in stepping one foot up onto the dias.

Constantine raised his eyebrows to match hers. "Aye, groundskeeper. Is there a problem with that?" Hmm, hasn't even been a few seconds and there was already a teacher on his nerves. "Yes, I will see you outside...I look forward to the sitings," he smirked, before turning to listen to Max.

"You're kidding, right?" he said back, leaning in to whisper the next part; the world didn't need to know it. "It's taken me 15 years to figure out that I loved someone and you expect me to trained in the art of cheesy flirt lines." He sighed and rolled his eyes, before frowning. "Plus, aren't you married? Or was that lost in your over inflated ego as well?"

Raider · 01-19-2009, 04:05 AM

Alex tripped over her feet as she entered the great hall, almost face planting her first day as the Gryffindor head of house. 'Nice one Pierce, the new Gryffindors will die laughing when they find out your their head' her mind grumbled at her.

Making her way through the great hall towards the staff table, one might notice she looked much more haggered than normal, dark circles under her eyes, her robes looked almost thread bare and her shoes were covered with scuff marks. Finally, after what seemed like an hour walk, she plopped down in a chair by the new Headmaster.

She looked over and saw a really old man trying to make it up the stairs. She rushed over to him. "Professor do you need any help?" She asked him very concerned.

LadyNerd · 01-19-2009, 04:07 AM

Lyra followed behind Anna to the staff table. Both wanted to see Professor Shackleton but she also wanted to see Vindictus as well. The meeting on the streets was one that she would never forget and one that would make Christian proud when she finally told him. She hurried to the table and noticed Mr. Groundskeeper as well that she met at the Leaky...if that was the correct place. Too many new people in a short amount of time.

"May I have your autograph, Mr. Vindictus," Lyra snickered as came closer to where he was. What a great way to start a conversation! It was either that or she would ask if he had any pudding today.

"Professor, actually." Ethan responded, reaching for an apple and taking a bite. He changed his mind and vanished the remainder of the fruit before carefully taking off his shades and stowing them carefully. It was amazing how much clearer one could see indoors when not wearing dark glasses.

"It was time for a change." Zan answered by way of explaination. He turned slightly in his seat and blinked at Professor Bunbury for a moment, "You were guessing things about me?" He offered a crooked grin before his eyes were distracted by the runes set again. Hmmm.

Hearing a noise...

A terribly familiar noise...

Ethan looked up and his eyes widened at the sight of Krazymeriz, and without thought on the matter he knocked his fork off the table and dove underneath as if to fetch it but actually to collect his wits. Stunna shades. Yeah thats it.
Truebridge put his shades back on, hoping he could evade recognition for a moment.

Of course he was distracted almost immediately; by Bunbury's shoes. "Nice shoes." he commented, voice muffled by the table.

Ethan looked out from under the table and realised... he was... under the table.

Err.

He paused for a moment, "Uh, you know- I have more if you want some, yeah." he laughed a little awkwardly- hoping that the student wouldn't draw the attention of Krazymeriz.

Waka waka waka waka waka....

A wide smile graced his face as he stared down the golden plates. He remembered how much food had appeared on these things back from his days at Hogwarts, and he simply could not wait to dig in. In fact, he was so distracted by this thought, that he hadn't even noticed that there were other professors already situated.

Failing to acknowledge them (quite likely giving a poor first impression), he took a seat on the far left of the staff table. He sure hoped Davie Koop would sit next to him...

Not looking up or away from the student tables, David Kapoor entered the great hall and made his way over to the dias. He looked up in time to see a familiar face and he froze momentarily to consider making a break for it.

No. Oh, no. It couldn't be. They'd never let him...would they?

Ian Ashby, the old rascal! Back again to torment Kapoor with his bold brand of pranksterliciousness! Blast that Mercury and its' retrograde motion, putting obstacles before him.

Well, it would do no good to simply stare at an old friend, so Kapoor approached and aimed to take a seat near Professor Ashby. "Mind if I...Oh, hey! Ian Ashby!" He said begining as if he just now recognized Ian. "Merlin! They just don't care who they let teach at this school anymore, do they." He said, teasing his old mate and taking a seat.

"You look ridiculous!" And by that he meant 'It's good to see you again, old friend!'.

"Oh, oh, oh! I sense some jealousy," Max teased and leaned towards him. "Take a look at that." He nodded at the old professor who just arrived at the table. "What'd they do? Dig him out of the ground?" he whispered.

Meredith's smile turned into a real one when she saw someone that she actually recognized. "Miss Lyra, is it? It's very nice to see you again." She might have seemed a little to excited about that. "How are you enjoying you're first day?" Merry asked her curiously.

hufflepuff_keeper_11 · 01-19-2009, 04:16 AM

Set walked up to the staff table and said "Hey, I'm Set. So what teacher teaches what?" Set looked around. "..and who who is the headmaster....oh and who is hufflepuff head of house?"

She looked as the man crawled from up under the table. She thought that was strange, but she had seen stranger things in her life. A grown man crawling up from under a table certainly did give her a tickle. She suppressed the giggle.

She smiled at him. She was always better with men and boys than girls. It was that Riddle charm shining through. "Well that would be lovely." She smiled. "Oh my gosh where are my manners. I am Paris Greenwood sir, third yeah Slytherin. And who would I have the pleasure of sharing my sunglasses collection with?" She asked through her smile.

Lyra snickered once again as she couldn't help but take sight at the old man sitting at the table and of all things, she couldn't help but overhear Vindictus spat off a little funny at him too. "I think he's older than dirt," she whispered. "I'm doing well, just strange to be back and something that I have to get used too." She shrugged her shoulders and heard someone call her name.

Her wide eyes of shock looked towards the one who called her wondering if she was already in trouble. No one knew her name unless there was trouble following. Her eyes fell upon the lady she met in the street of Diagon Alley. "Ohhh..." this was bad. She couldn't remember the lady's name except for Meredith and she certainly couldn't call her that. "Please forgive me, Miss. I...ummm...what should I call you now that you are seated at the staff table instead of the streets of Diagon Alley?" There that sounded somewhat professional and so not Lyra at all.

Angela smiled once more. Ili would have a very good year indeed for many of the books in the library would leave a lasting impression or give the reader something new to learn. "Sounds like you won't be disappointed at all. I do hope to see you soon."

Making her way through the great hall towards the staff table, one might notice she looked much more haggered than normal, dark circles under her eyes, her robes looked almost thread bare and her shoes were covered with scuff marks. Finally, after what seemed like an hour walk, she plopped down in a chair by the new Headmaster.

As a movement to her side caught her eye, Angela turned in that direction. As the sight met her eyes, her mouth dropped open slightly before she closed it quickly. "Alex?" She said in a near whisper before she scooted her chair closer in her closest friend on staff.

"What's happened?" The woman looked as though she had been outdoors for quite some time or something of the sort.

As a young Hufflepuff approached the staff table and began inquiring of the various positions, Angela gave him a brief smile. "Hello, Set. It's nice to meet you. I'm the librarian, Madame Kohan."

"Play nice, Lyra," Max warned and turned to the woman that his friend's niece was addressing. "Hello, there. I'm Maximus Vindictus." He smiled at her and held out his hand. "Flying Instructor, Quidditch Official, and the Ravenclaw Head of House."
