To the far end of the hall is a big, comfy looking, bright pink throne that has been set aside for your beautiful and magnificent Headmistress Truebridge. The only colour you see is pink, and if you didn’t know your Headmistress loved this colour, then now you clearly should.
In front of the throne is a pink carpet that is decorated with sparkling glitter. This is for all you students to line up upon. To the left of the throne is a mini, pink Christmas tree with a small sign beside it saying ‘Presents Here’. On the right side of the throne is a pink closed box, with a small opening. Besides this box there is another sign, this one saying ‘Letters Here’.
Your Headmistress is now taking the time to get to know you all a little better. She is seated in her pink throne and is waiting for all of you to come by and say hi. Just one more thing, please: do not hover over her, there is a reason why you are supposed to all line up. Otherwise make sure to be polite and no jumping the queue.
This place was amazing! There were so many prettiful stuff! The prefects must have worked really hard.
As Lex made her way around the room she saw a line. Huh? Why would there be a--Meet and Greet the Headmistress?! Oooooooo. She thought about going over and saying hi but wasn't exactly sure...or well..she wasn't sure until she saw Seri in the line.
"Seri!" She hurried over and pulled her into a hug. "Merlin, I've missed you!" Which was sooooo true. It should have been illegal to not see your bestfriend in so long. "So you're gonna meet the Headmistress?" Yup. It was settled. She was gonna go up and greet her then so for now they would wait their turn. Nod.
Seri hated queueing. It was SO STUPID. She just wanted to give the Headmistress a piece of her mind. And a letter. She wanted to know what had happened to Lex, it had been WEEKS, and WE-
WAIT WHAT NOW?
"LEX- YOU'RE REAL! YOU'RE ALIVE! WHAT HAPPENED?" Seri asked. She couldn't believe she was finally back! She wanted to know where she'd been- had the headmistress sent her to Azkaban for underage wizards? Or perhpas she'd had one too many firewhiskys and locked her in a broom closet? Seri didn't know.
"Oh, well I came to see her about YOU!" Seri emphasised. Yeah, see what a BFF she was? "And to give her a... uhh, letter." Seri finished, looking down at the yellow-y, slightly worn away parchment in her hands, she could feel the rough folds of the envelope and papers inside, and the indentations her fingernails had made on the paper. She could feel the smooth, crayon-like wax of the seal, marked simply 'W'. She even saw the ink marks from inside. She was quite pleased with the loopy but pretty handwriting on the front.

Alexa giggled at the statement. "Of course I'm real...and alive." Really, she would have been very upset if she was neither but she could understand Seri's reason for saying such a thing. It felt like ages since she'd been back at the school and that meant a lot of days away from her BBF. "It's a really long story but..." Now she lowered her voice. Seri not knowing what happened meant that others might not have known either and she intended to keep it that way. "...I got suspended on the night of the detention..." It was the worst night of her life. Between the Professor and the Headmistress, she had been nothing but miserable the whole time.
She raised an eyebrow at her. "Me? What for?" She was standing right there wasn't she? Unless...unless she was gonna go to her under the impression that she was still gone. A wide smile spread across the 11 year old's face. "Awww, you're the best!" GRIN.
It was official. She had the bestest friend in the world.
"And you brought her a letter?" Her eyes fell to the envelope in her friends hand. Um...she never thought to get the Headmistress one...did she need to..? O___O

"Hello Headmistress Truebridge, I'm Olivia", the girl gave a pleasant smile and held out her hand to shake.
She had noticed that other kids were bringing her cards and Olivia wished she had one two "I didn't know we were supposed to bring cards and presents!" she said aloud "but I wish you a merry Christmas just the same" it's the thought that counts right?
Now what to chat about, "so what were your plans for Christmas, going away for the break, or staying at the school?"
Now that she said it, Olivia realised that she had always wondered what professors did over the break.
waiting for Dani DiNardo/Cherry Blossom Rose to actually get up here :P

Quickly bending down to pick it up, Daichi petted the duck over it's head and glared at the woman. Oh yes, he glared at the Headmistress~
"And it's RUDE to hit people's priced possessions!" he snapped and then his eyes widened. Had he really just said that? He really needed to think before he spoke!
But still, there was no reason to hit Mr.Duckles. And Daichi wasn't sure if he liked the woman now. Anyone who hurt his best friend was not nice.
He puffed his cheeks as she talked further about not having to give gifts. He was actually relieved about that though. "Oh..." he answered when she was finished and nodded his head.
And then, she began to act all strange. Even Daichi saw it. At the mention of the brooch she seemed to freeze and for a second the Slytherin thought that another attack was happening. But that had been solved right?!
The way she was speaking made him raise an eyebrow. Was that brooch that special? He could get what it was like to have something special. But...it's a brooch....A brooch. "Can't you buy a new brooch?" he asked stupidly curious and quickly added the "Headmistress" to the sentence to sound less rude. "I mean, it's just a brooch right?" He had promised Tinka that if he would happen to find the brooch he would give it to her.
Yep, he was giving it to Tinka first instead of the Headmistress because even though she was pretty, SHEHITMR.DUCKLES!
The redhead's eyes flashed when the boy snapped at her. "Five points from Slytherin for your rudeness, child," she delivered the blow with an icy tone. "You do NOT speak to me that way. How ELSE was I to get your inanimate, stuffed animal out of my face?" She scoffed at him. He was what, thirteen? Fifteen? If he was old enough to be at Hogwarts, then he was too old for a stuffed animal. And that was her professional opinion.
"NO, I cannot just buy another brooch," she continued in the same cold, dismissive tone. "That was a one-of-a-kind find, a rare gem, really, from Egypt." She remembered then that she had meant to show it to Ethan, but had... forgotten. "It's one-of-a-kind..." the redhead repeated, more to herself than to Daichi. "I'll never have another...." Never....ever......

Regardless, she should probably at least say hi...she was from a prominent family, after all...the woman's obsession with pink was blinding...truly truly blinding. Elliot had to try not to throw up.
Write this woman a letter..hmm...maybe. If she wasn't feeling TOO lazy...she spotted Alexa and sent the little girl a smirk...that child...was amusing. Truly amusing. She stepped in line and sighed, checking her watch.
Annie noticed the girl checking her watch and raised an eyebrow. Careful, child. You don't want to get on the wrong side of this lady... already.
"Next," she called out as sweetly and loudly as possible.

Was she in the line to meet and greet Truebridge?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
She hadn't wanted to end up here. AT ALL. She knew Truebridge as much as she felt comfortable knowing her, and there really wasn't anything else she thought she should know. She wondered if she could quietly tip-toe out of line and avoid anybody finding out? Hmmm...
BUT NO. She turned around, facing forward again, and noticed the student who had been in front of her was now WITH THE HEADMISTRESS. This meant that Sierra was next in line and most definitely could NOT sneak away now. WHYYYY?!
...and then that student was gone, and Sierra realized it was her turn to meet and greet. BAH HUMBUG. She stepped up to the throne, feeling like a Hufflepuff, and approached the Headmistress. *ahem* "Hello, Headmistress Truebridge," she said. "First off..." Err... "Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays..." UGH. So Hufflepuff. "So I was just wondering....areyourelatedtoToriBunburybyanychance ?"
"Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family as well, Sierra," Anastasia calmly and politely greeted the Slytherin prefect. It was hardly a secret that she despised the girl's family, actually, but there was no harm in pretending. Perhaps Sierra wasn't all that horrible; Bunz had somewhat gotten along with Anna, after all.
Anyway. She was asking her something now, and she needed to pay attention. "I'm sorry, what?" Anastasia shook her head, showing that she hadn't understood the words all running together. "Could you repeat that more slowly, dear?"

Sarah made a mental note of Janurary first not hard to forget... first birthday of the year...
"I was born at 7:27am on the twentieth of February 2066" Sarah rattled off. Yeah, details were important...
She had a lot of questions to ask the headmistress. Well Sarah liked asking questions... she was just curious you see. She wanted to know if the headmistress had children, if yes how many? Where was she from... what house was she in...what was her favourite book...did she like animals...is she a morning person or night owl... Does she prefer quidditch or gobstones... what her favourite subject was in school... Through questions she satuated her inquisitive mind.
So she decided to ask some of the questions. "What subject did the Headmistress like best in school?" Well Sarah liked most transfiguration, well actually she liked most subjects.. she just did not like Bellaire and Lafay... "Does the headmistress prefer transfiguration to charms?" Sarah did, but she thought her opinion of charms would be higher if she had a better teacher...
"Sarah Edwards, right." The Headmistress repeated the name so that she would hopefully remember it. Blah blah blah, the girl knew the exact time she was born, good for her, she was a February baby, etc. Annie pretended to follow with some nods and smiles. And then there was another question--- surprise surprise!
"I loooooved Herbology," she revealed, leaning toward the girl some. "I loved it so much that I first came back to Hogwarts about 10 years ago to teach it!" No brainer there. As for transfiguration or charms... "Hmm, tough question." Annie tapped her chin. "But I think I preferred Charms, just because I use them more on a daily basis. Thanks for stopping by!"
She held her hand out for the girl to shake, assuming this meant that the interview was over.

She smiled somewhat tightly at the mention of gifts/presents/etc. --- why did everyone keep asking that?! ---- and shrugged. "It's the thought that counts, really. So Merry Christmas to you too... and thanks for asking about my plans!" She brightened up considerably. "I'm going to be visiting family and friends over the break, but mostly I'll just be trying to stay away from Hogwarts get caught up with my son, husband, niece, and so on."
Follow up question... "What are your plans, dear?"

When the person infront of them moved off Lex realized that it was Seri's turn...or her turn...their turn?
Meeeehhh.
Taking a step forward she gestured for Seri to do the same before turning to the Headmistress with a wide smile. "Helllooooo Headmistress Truebridge!" BEAM. The festive season had made the 11 year especially giddy. This was clearly the case as she addressed the Headmistress with such cheer and enthusiasm. "I didn't know they were hosting a meet and greet for you but I guess they are so I want you to meet my bestest friend ever." This meet and greet was obviously to allow the woman to meet everyone so she was helping her out a bit; she could thank her later because now she would meet Serenity Wheeler and her life would be just as happy.
"And I never got you a letter...sorry..." Technically she wasn't even planning to come over here. "--but if you want I can scribble one real quick!" She offered, smile still perfectly in place. Such a great season it was.

Oooooooohh. Was that a Meet n Greet? With the Headmistress? Kat scrambled to form the line. It wasn't a long one, just fine enough to exercise Kat's patience. But really, she isn't that patient to wait for hours. A few minutes is fine but... NOT HOURS. Kat stood there, patiently waiting for her turn. For the first time.
Wait wait wait wait wait wait.
Oh, at last! It was Kat's turn. The blonde smiled at the Headmistress. A genuine smile. She wasn't that stereotypical, mind you. "Hello Headmistress Truebridge, Merry Christmas!" Kat said. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Katrina Hudson."
Kat thought for a question to ask the Headmistress. Think. Think. Think... AHA! "If you weren't Headmistress, what job would you like to take?" Hopefully, her question wasn't offensive. Kat was just curious, really.

Eyebrows knotted and a sceptical smile on his lips, Thane marched on. The throne should have been the only pink item. It looked as if a pink unicorn had barfed all over the set up. And besides..."Isn't the headmistress a little too old for pink?" Thane stated casually to the person next to him as he stood in the back of the line, musing whether it was the right thing to say.

She remembered then that she had meant to show it to Ethan, but had... forgotten. "It's one-of-a-kind..." the redhead repeated, more to herself than to Daichi. "I'll never have another...." Never....ever......
Daichi had seen that flash in the Headmistress eyes before. Two times actually. One time when he wasn't old enough to go to Hogwarts yet. His father had scolded him for daring to speak back. And Professor Lafay had send him that look once during class but she had not taken away points.
So it kinda came as a shock to hear the words. Minus five points. The Slytherin suddenly felt like he was shrinking with embarrassment. "I-i've never lost points..." he whispered, more to himself than to the woman. He then looked up and bit his lower lip. "I-i'm sorry, i didn't mean to...i talk before i think, i'm really sorry" He normally never lost his control but when she had hit Mr.Duckles he had snapped. And now he felt bad , he didn't like it that someone didn't like him and that he had just lost points. What would his fellow Snakes saaaay?
He pouted and opened up his school bag before he pushed his stuffed animal back in to it. It's head sticking out of the opening. "I-It's not just a stuffed animal...it's important to me..." he quickly shut his mouth before anything else came out.
And then she continued to talk about her brooch in the same voice as earlier. It sounded like the Headmistress was really feeling bad that she had lost the brooch. Daichi didn't want to think about what would happen if he lost his plush duck. "s-s-sounds like it's really im-important.." Daichi said with a slight stutter in his voice because the woman was kinda scaring him with all the points loss and stuff. And then he got an idea. "If i find the brooch, can i get my points back? pleeease?" Chances were very slim that he actually found it but it was worth the try right?
Bunz accepted the dancing card from the next Gryffindor with a cheery smile. "Nice wandwork, Ms......" insert name here. "And Merry Christmas to you too." She dipped her head toward the girl in acknowledgment, and then waited for the questions.
Why was everyone so curious about the color PINK? "I don't know... it's just my favorite color." The redhead shrugged simply. "I've loved it ever since I was a little girl. It's always commonly found in nature, in flowers and such, and as an Herbologist, I love anything that relates to nature."
There, that should be a satisfactory explanation! "Yes, I DO like other colors, thank you for asking," she responded to the next query. "I actually like most all of the other colors of the spectrum, other than... orange." Her nose wrinkled slightly at mention of the color. "Green, ice blue, pink, purple, red... those are my favorites. And you?"
Nice wandwork? Ira BEAMED. "Its Miss Wilson, Headmistress. I'm Ira Wilson." And she did expect to be praised a little bit, seeing as she herself had made the beautiful card. And that small sentence had just made the Headmistress nicer in Ira's books! "Thank you Headmistress" she replied to the Christmas wishes.
And time for the answer to her question. Hm. Ira nodded, Headmistress was a Herbologist before? So weren't Herbologists like, supposed to like greens and browns? Seeing that the flora in nature was all green.. "I LOVE red! And black too.." Ira replied, "But I don't know why, Pink irritates me. I don't like pink much, I hate it actually!" Not just a particular shade, but all pink in general were Ira's kind of allergy. "Each to his own, I guess!" Ira smiled, with a slight frown, wondering if it was right to mention that she hated Pink. Anyways, as she had said, each to his own!
"I hope you'll find your brooch soon, Headmistress." Of course she had heard all about the brooch story. Why was that brooch so important anyways? Something fishy... Wait, what about the summoning spell? Wouldn't it bring the brooch back? "Another question I have.. Can't you use the Accio spell to bring the brooch back?"
Still thinking of that, she said, "So.. Thank you." Ira sought to leave, to proceed to other areas, "Bye Headmistress!"

Ira was heading back to the other sections, when she heard an older boy think out aloud. Too old for pink? Ha! Right! Ira turned towards him, and smirked, and whispered, so as to not let the headmistress hear her, "Well, she is young enough to lose a brooch, isn't she?" All the pink around her was making Ira a bit snappish, and irritable. "And besides, Pink is really kind of yuck!" Ira said, rolling her eyes.
Annie noticed the girl checking her watch and raised an eyebrow. Careful, child. You don't want to get on the wrong side of this lady... already.
"Next," she called out as sweetly and loudly as possible.
Right.
Elliot heard that voice call out...well, here goes, right? Was she trying to make a good impression? Nah...not really...hehee...
She approached the headmistress...ahem? Elliot cleared her throat and raised her eyebrows..."I surely hope we don't have to sit on your lap..." you know, like Father Christmas? Because Elliot was NOT going to do that...NOO.
Sorry!
She smirked, just for good measure, and ran a hand through her blonde hair...hmm? "I'm Elliot Morganzo..." she said, since introductions were...polite, right? Now it was her time...though Elliot was fairly sure who this lady was...she WAS the headmistress, after all...

Sarah shook the lady's hand although she had so much more questions. She did not even get to ask the headmistress if her hair was naturally that colour and what house she was in when she was in Hogwarts.. Yet, not wanting to be seen as a clingy person, Sarah went away.

"Sounds like you have a big family!" Olivia replied"I am going to be staying at Hogwarts over the break" Olivia said. There were so many adventures she could get up to in the castle when class was on hold. "But I will definatly be mailing letters and photos to my family" she said. Her father and cousins would be wanting to hear from her.
Why would you want to stay away from Hogwarts?" she asked "Well I suppose it's work and I suppose you would rather be spending time with friends and family?". Olivia would be, any day. But Hogwarts was her home.

Excusing herself from the ovens for a moment and carried over a pink box with a pink ribbon on top that her and the house elves had prepared specifically for the Headmistress. She actually hadn't had time to really take a look at the set up for the woman, and now that she was here she felt momentarily blinded by all the pink. Maybe her and her still pink hair should just stick around here for now? She blended in with the scenery at least.
Yeah, thanks Ella for mentioning Lewis and calling her Sir Lewis' Lady and turning her hair pink.
Spotting the tree, Kurumi was about to just set the box there and scamper back to the cookie decorating that was going on, but she figure she should at least say hello to the Headmistress while she was here. Properly present the gift that her and the house elves had worked on as well.
Waiting her turn, Kurumi bowed slightly - as usual - to the woman seating on her thrown before speaking. "Evening, Headmistress," she chirped while removing the top of the box. "The house elves and I just wanted to give you these to say thank you and Happy Christmas. I can go put them under the tree right now if you'd like." Save them for later if the woman would rather not nibble on them now.

Why did Sierra always get the impression that despite how sugary sweet Truebridge sounded, she only meant about half of what she was saying? Those were the types you had to be careful about. They were the ones who had something up their sleeves. Only, you didn't realize it until the very last second.
Sierra waited for the woman to answer her question. ...and then---WAIT. WHAA?! She had to ask it all over again? She didn't even want to be up here in the first place, yet here she was...somehow. She'd even tried her best to ask an appropriate question, but noooooo. The woman had to be temporarily deaf. BLAHHH.
"I was just wondering," she said again, "...are you related to Tori Bunbury by any chance?" Sierra had been wondering that ever since Cela Toussaint had told her Truebridge used to be a Bunbury.

Oh. Good. Merlin. Strike me down with an Avada Kedavra now...
Anastasia subconsciously tensed up at the sight of THE worst Gryffindor ever, and that was saying something, since she had dated some pretty awful Gryffindors in the past. But this one... this one was sure to create a scene in front of EVERYONE in the Great Hall. Annie was half-tempted to check her chair for a whoopie cushion, or her goblet for a bit of poison now. Who had let her into this event in the first place?!
But then the girl spoke and well, she didn't seem TOO disrespectful... yet.... "Yes, well, that's very.........kind of you, Alexa, to bring a friend along. How kind." The girl HAD friends here?! "As for the letter..." the redhead waved her hand and shook her head. "No need. That's just a silly little thing, and a way for perhaps shy students to contact me if they'd prefer."
There was no way this girl was shy, so... Anastasia just tightened her smile and waited for the friend to speak.

Wait wait wait wait wait wait.
Oh, at last! It was Kat's turn. The blonde smiled at the Headmistress. A genuine smile. She wasn't that stereotypical, mind you. "Hello Headmistress Truebridge, Merry Christmas!" Kat said. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Katrina Hudson."
Kat thought for a question to ask the Headmistress. Think. Think. Think... AHA! "If you weren't Headmistress, what job would you like to take?" Hopefully, her question wasn't offensive. Kat was just curious, really.
"Hello, Miss Hudson," Anastasia returned the next student's smile with a polite one of her own. "Happy Christmas to you as well." She could see the girl had a question forming in her mind, so she patiently waited a few beats for it to come out.
What job would she have? "Well I used to be a professor, but that's very similar to being Headmistress...." Annie pretended to think, even though the answer was very obvious to her. "But if I were not involved in education at all, I would be an experimental Herbologist and a potions researcher and experimenter with my father. Thank you!"
She held out her hand for the girl to shake.

So it kinda came as a shock to hear the words. Minus five points. The Slytherin suddenly felt like he was shrinking with embarrassment. "I-i've never lost points..." he whispered, more to himself than to the woman. He then looked up and bit his lower lip. "I-i'm sorry, i didn't mean to...i talk before i think, i'm really sorry" He normally never lost his control but when she had hit Mr.Duckles he had snapped. And now he felt bad , he didn't like it that someone didn't like him and that he had just lost points. What would his fellow Snakes saaaay?
He pouted and opened up his school bag before he pushed his stuffed animal back in to it. It's head sticking out of the opening. "I-It's not just a stuffed animal...it's important to me..." he quickly shut his mouth before anything else came out.
And then she continued to talk about her brooch in the same voice as earlier. It sounded like the Headmistress was really feeling bad that she had lost the brooch. Daichi didn't want to think about what would happen if he lost his plush duck. "s-s-sounds like it's really im-important.." Daichi said with a slight stutter in his voice because the woman was kinda scaring him with all the points loss and stuff. And then he got an idea. "If i find the brooch, can i get my points back? pleeease?" Chances were very slim that he actually found it but it was worth the try right?
Oh ho ho ho! So NOW the boy was sorry, was he? ABOUT TIME.
"I seeeee," was all the Headmistress said, in a slow snarl drawl. Her eyes were still narrowed at the boy as he rambled on about points and then finally stuffed his stuffed duck away. Finally. Really, children at that age...
Her eyebrows went up as he mentioned the brooch again and the ice queen's demeanor seemed to melt a bit. She put out a hand toward him, as if she were going to pat his arm, but quickly thought better of it.
"If you find the brooch, darling, sweet, sweet child," no harm in being nice... he COULD have a lead, after all, "I will give you MORE than just your five house points back. I will ADORN you with house points, and praise, and a monetary reward... just find it. Please."
Then her cool smile was back and she was back to sitting rigidly in her chair, as if that were to be her final words to Daichi.

And that small sentence had just made the Headmistress nicer in Ira's books! "Thank you Headmistress" she replied to the Christmas wishes.
And time for the answer to her question. Hm. Ira nodded, Headmistress was a Herbologist before? So weren't Herbologists like, supposed to like greens and browns? Seeing that the flora in nature was all green.. "I LOVE red! And black too.." Ira replied, "But I don't know why, Pink irritates me. I don't like pink much, I hate it actually!" Not just a particular shade, but all pink in general were Ira's kind of allergy. "Each to his own, I guess!" Ira smiled, with a slight frown, wondering if it was right to mention that she hated Pink. Anyways, as she had said, each to his own!
"I hope you'll find your brooch soon, Headmistress." Of course she had heard all about the brooch story. Why was that brooch so important anyways? Something fishy... Wait, what about the summoning spell? Wouldn't it bring the brooch back? "Another question I have.. Can't you use the Accio spell to bring the brooch back?"
Still thinking of that, she said, "So.. Thank you." Ira sought to leave, to proceed to other areas, "Bye Headmistress!"
"Ira Wilson," the Headmistress echoed dutifully. "It's a pleasure." She smiled as the girl said thank-you (look at that, a Gryffindor with manners!) and then went back to her chosen topic of colors.
And her opinions on colors. And her bashing of pink. Good Merlin, she certainly didn't have the makings of a future pink lady!
"Each to her own, of course..." Anastasia found herself agreeing dully. But when the topic of the brooch came up again, she certainly seemed more engaged. "Yes, yes I hope I find it soon too," she said emphatically. "Keep an eye out for it, will you? I HAVE tried summoning it already, but no matter what I seem to do... nothing seems to work!"
She frowned and flicked her wand into her hand to SHOW the girl, in case she didn't believe the Headmistress. "ACCIO BROOCH!!"
And she waited. And waited. And waited. Still nothing.... and Ira was leaving now, so perhaps that was for the better.... "Yes, all right... thank you dear..." Her face crumpled a little as it seemed obvious the brooch wasn't coming back. "Thanks for stopping by...."

Sorry!
She smirked, just for good measure, and ran a hand through her blonde hair...hmm? "I'm Elliot Morganzo..." she said, since introductions were...polite, right? Now it was her time...though Elliot was fairly sure who this lady was...she WAS the headmistress, after all...
"I surely hope you don't want to sit on my lap, Miss Morganzo," the redhead returned with a smirk to rival the girl's own. "Elliot, right... what brings you here today?"
Any questions/cards/presents/comments/etc.??

Maybe her and her still pink hair should just stick around here for now? She blended in with the scenery at least.
Yeah, thanks Ella for mentioning Lewis and calling her Sir Lewis' Lady and turning her hair pink.
Spotting the tree, Kurumi was about to just set the box there and scamper back to the cookie decorating that was going on, but she figure she should at least say hello to the Headmistress while she was here. Properly present the gift that her and the house elves had worked on as well.
Waiting her turn, Kurumi bowed slightly - as usual - to the woman seating on her thrown before speaking. "Evening, Headmistress," she chirped while removing the top of the box. "The house elves and I just wanted to give you these to say thank you and Happy Christmas. I can go put them under the tree right now if you'd like." Save them for later if the woman would rather not nibble on them now.
The Headmistress straightened up some as she spotted Kurumi bowing to her as usual. Now that was more like it! What was the point of having a throne, after all, if no one was going to bow/curtsy to you while you sat on it?!
Anyway, on to the girl's gift. The redhead could guess what it was, but she was still very curious to actually see it and open it. "I can open it right now, Miss Hollingberry, if you'd prefer..."
How kind of the darling elves and half-elves, like Hollingberry to think of her! Aww!

Sierra waited for the woman to answer her question. ...and then---WAIT. WHAA?! She had to ask it all over again? She didn't even want to be up here in the first place, yet here she was...somehow. She'd even tried her best to ask an appropriate question, but noooooo. The woman had to be temporarily deaf. BLAHHH.
"I was just wondering," she said again, "...are you related to Tori Bunbury by any chance?" Sierra had been wondering that ever since Cela Toussaint had told her Truebridge used to be a Bunbury.
Aha, there was the question. Anastasia couldn't stop an evil smirk from spreading across her face. She had perfect hearing, thank you, she just wanted to see Sierra squrim.
"I am related to Tori Bunbury, Sierra, how strange that you didn't make that connection sooner," she replied in a smooth, quizzical-sounding tone. "Tori is my cousin. You wouldn't happen to be that same Sierra she mentioned to me the last time we met up, would you? If I recall correctly, she'd talked about a little... encounter you'd had in Hogsmeade..."
Something like that. Annie had only been half-listening to Tori, as the girl was either babbling about someone she didn't like (Sierra/Beauxbatons girls/Sierra) or someone she DID like (her BF/her professor crushes/her fave quidditch players/etc). It got quite tedious to listen to teenagers all the time, really.

Cool. But Kat knew that was the most obvious answer. Headmistresses and Headmasters were usually professors before, right? Dumbledore was a Transfiguration professor, if I'm not mistaken. Kat nodded at the answer. She couldn't say anything else, now can she?
"That's very interesting, Headmistress Truebridge," Kat had said while smiling. Really, Truebridge had a lot of ambition by her side which left Kat wondering she Truebridge was a Slytherin or probably a Ravenclaw when she was in her Hogwarts Years.
Then the Slytherin accepted the Headmistress' hand and shook it. "Thank you for your time, Headmistress." Really, she knew Truebridge was a busy woman but she found time to entertain her students. How kind of her, Kat thought.

Kurumi actually didn't have a preference. Not really. However, if the Hogwarts house elves were anything like Mhina, Lewis' family's house elf, then they would certainly want to know how the Headmistress had reacted to the cookies that she and them had made. "Actually, Headmistress, if you wouldn't mind," she said as she offered the box to the woman. "That way I can let the house elves know your reaction. They all would have come over with me if they could."
And hopefully Kurumi would have a positive reaction to tell them about.

Ahem. Brooch.
Olivia quietly giggled at the Headmistress's crisp, propper tone. Olivia continued the conversation about the brooch, she had seen Truebridge try to use accio. But somehow, that didn't seem to work, espicialy if the person who stole it placed it somewhare whare it could not leave.
"I have not seen your brooch either, but I will keep an eye out for it. Was it pink?" Olivia was ambitious to find this brooch, she took it upon herself to the be official brooch searcher.
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

Hoisting his bag over his shoulders with the ducks head popping out so that it could look around as well, Daichi could not help but open his mouth and stare in awe.
"More than five housepoints?!" he repeated as his eyes seemed to twinkle. "AND a.....wait, what is monetary?" the Slytherin had no idea what that word was because he had never heard it before. "Can i eat it?" he looked up again hopefully. "A FOOD REWARD?!" he suddenly squealed as if he suddenly understood what the word meant.
"I'm going to search right now! Tinka told me how it looks like, Bye Meanie~! ...i-i-mean Headmistress!" and he quickly ran away from the pink throne.

Anastasia subconsciously tensed up at the sight of THE worst Gryffindor ever, and that was saying something, since she had dated some pretty awful Gryffindors in the past. But this one... this one was sure to create a scene in front of EVERYONE in the Great Hall. Annie was half-tempted to check her chair for a whoopie cushion, or her goblet for a bit of poison now. Who had let her into this event in the first place?!
But then the girl spoke and well, she didn't seem TOO disrespectful... yet.... "Yes, well, that's very.........kind of you, Alexa, to bring a friend along. How kind." The girl HAD friends here?! "As for the letter..." the redhead waved her hand and shook her head. "No need. That's just a silly little thing, and a way for perhaps shy students to contact me if they'd prefer."
There was no way this girl was shy, so... Anastasia just tightened her smile and waited for the friend to speak.
Oh loooook, the Headmistress seemed so happy to see her. She must have been feeling the Christmas spirit too seeing as she was even smiling back! GRIN.
...She even said she was kind. Awww, the woman clearly knew all the right things to say; giving out compliments the way she was. Of course, Lex could give a compliment too. "Thank you and you look very prettiful tonight!--Can I touch your hair?" It looked prettiful too which translated to it being touchable. Alexa liked touchable stuff. It was so fasinating, even to the point where she just stood staring at her but then she mentioned the letter being for shy people.
"Oh! So then I don't need it one bit." Nope. Being shy was a waste of time so she never bothered with it. She stopped for a minute, looking over at Seri and wondered whether she was going to say anything. Lex had never pegged her for the shy type either in fact she was positive that the girl had quite a mouth on her! Maybe she need a bit of time to collect herself.
In the mean time her eyes fell on the letters to the Headmistress. Even though the woman said it wasn't necessary she was beginning to feel a little left out--Oh wait!! Shoving her hand into her pocket she pulled a wrapper containing the cookies the others she had baked. "You can have a cookie...two if you want." BEAAAAAM.

Well.
Elliot had passed judgment on this woman already..and she didn't like her. One bit. Hmph. "Oh? I thought this was a meet and greet...so..that's what I'm doing..." she cleared her throat a bit..."eh, meeting and greeting you," she smirked back, her tone casually sarcastic...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Truebridge. We get it. You were sent here to make our lives miserable. Sierra just had a sinking feeling that Truebridge heard every last word of her question the first time, but it was just like the woman to make her repeat it, so it'd possibly be louder and easier to be heard by the student body as a whole.
...and then her heart sank.
Tori Bunbury was still here, taunting her, despite the fact that the girl had moved to Beauxbaton's. "I...didn't realize your maiden name sooner," Sierra said. "It was only when Mrs. Cela Toussaint mentioned it in class that I started to make the connection." Sierra felt like the world around her might spin around at any given moment.
Tori Bunbury: 6 billion.
Sierra Greingoth: 0.
The girl had gotten the best of her this time, and with her cousin being the Headmistress, Sierra would never be able to catch up now. Was she the Sierra her cousin had mentioned? The one from Hogsmeade?! YES. But... "I don't know," she said. There was at least one small window of hope that there was some other Sierra out there. "What exactly happened on said encounter?"
Hahahahahaha so Truebridge was actually gonna meet her?
HEHEHEHEHEH.
Wait... was Lex... was she... SUCKING UP TO HER?
NOOO LEX NOOOOO!
What was her reasoning? Seri narrowed her eyes at Lex and raised an eyebrow...
Seri did have a letter for her, though she didn't need to open it now, besides, she could safely shove it into the box. So she slipped it in and shrugged at her headmistress, "Just a little letter for you Miss... So nice to meet you at last." Seri said, though not extending a hand to shake. Seri had been under the impression she would deliver a letter and run off. Apparently not.
Seri was still suspicious about Mrs Headmistress. She had sent Lex off somewhere. Though she did have a cool chair. Nice and pink. Wait. An idea.
"Headmistress, I was thinking... for Christmas, perhaps we could ask Professor Lafay to purchase a comfier chair for her guests to sit on. The last time I was in her office I thought the chair was SO uncomfy. Maybe she'd like something pink... like yours but NOWHERE near as grand or special, because only you deserve that." Seri finished. She didn't mind sucking up if it would annoy her Head of House. Seri would have none of this 'House Pride' nonsense. Plus she did not like Lafay AT ALL, and she didn't think Lafay and the Headmistress were on very good terms either. She smirked at the thought of Lafay and a pink chair. Oh would she love to see her face if it ever happened.

So not all the students at this school were horrible! Excellent.

"Of course!" Annie took the box quite eagerly and started unwrapping. She knew how excitable and adorable the Hogwarts House Elves were. And after all their help with TRYING to find the brooch, she supposed she sort of owed them a Christmas gift too.
New tablecloths, dish towels, and potato sacks to wear, maybe. Yes, yes that's what they needed. Anyway, the gift... she gasped as soon as she spotted the cookies, and it was a happy gasp too.
"Ohhhhhhhh!" the redhead breathed, picking up cookies and looking at the ones below it. They were all so DIFFERENT, and beautiful, and PINK! "I LOVE them," she gushed, breaking off the pink heel of one and bringing it to her mouth for a munchmunchmunch.
"Mmmmmmmmmm!" Delicious, too!

She would appreciate the girl looking out for it.

She nodded as the boy started leaving, her mouth popping open only briefly as he almost called her 'Meanie.' "Good bye, then..."

Tori Bunbury: 6 billion.
Sierra Greingoth: 0.
The girl had gotten the best of her this time, and with her cousin being the Headmistress, Sierra would never be able to catch up now. Was she the Sierra her cousin had mentioned? The one from Hogsmeade?! YES. But... "I don't know," she said. There was at least one small window of hope that there was some other Sierra out there. "What exactly happened on said encounter?"
"Ah yes, Cela...." Annie smiled fondly at mention of the girl. "One of my best students, really, and her husband and brother-and-law..." She did adore that Plymouth Morgan, lil herbologist that he was.
As for Sierrra? And Tori? "Oh I don't recall all the finer details," the redhead waved her hand again, "but she said something about you leaving in tears." She put on a great big fake frown for Sierra. "Everything all right with your 'mother,' dear?"
How was she to know the Hogsmeade event had been a long, long time ago?

...She even said she was kind. Awww, the woman clearly knew all the right things to say; giving out compliments the way she was. Of course, Lex could give a compliment too. "Thank you and you look very prettiful tonight!--Can I touch your hair?" It looked prettiful too which translated to it being touchable. Alexa liked touchable stuff. It was so fasinating, even to the point where she just stood staring at her but then she mentioned the letter being for shy people.
"Oh! So then I don't need it one bit." Nope. Being shy was a waste of time so she never bothered with it. She stopped for a minute, looking over at Seri and wondered whether she was going to say anything. Lex had never pegged her for the shy type either in fact she was positive that the girl had quite a mouth on her! Maybe she need a bit of time to collect herself.
In the mean time her eyes fell on the letters to the Headmistress. Even though the woman said it wasn't necessary she was beginning to feel a little left out--Oh wait!! Shoving her hand into her pocket she pulled a wrapper containing the cookies the others she had baked. "You can have a cookie...two if you want." BEAAAAAM.
"Thank you," Anastasia replied slowly, carefully, still eying the Gryffindor like she was going to throw green slime all over her. She shook her head promptly at Alexa's question, too. "No. No no no no. No thank you, my hair is just fine without your... needing to touch it."
Nooooooooooooooooo way.
She continued shaking her head, albeit with a polite smile, at the girl's offer of a letter and cookies and the like. "No thank you, Alexa... dear..... I have cookies of my own. A gift from the House Elves." She pointed to the tin beside her chair.

Wait... was Lex... was she... SUCKING UP TO HER?
NOOO LEX NOOOOO!
What was her reasoning? Seri narrowed her eyes at Lex and raised an eyebrow...
Seri did have a letter for her, though she didn't need to open it now, besides, she could safely shove it into the box. So she slipped it in and shrugged at her headmistress, "Just a little letter for you Miss... So nice to meet you at last." Seri said, though not extending a hand to shake. Seri had been under the impression she would deliver a letter and run off. Apparently not.
Seri was still suspicious about Mrs Headmistress. She had sent Lex off somewhere. Though she did have a cool chair. Nice and pink. Wait. An idea.
"Headmistress, I was thinking... for Christmas, perhaps we could ask Professor Lafay to purchase a comfier chair for her guests to sit on. The last time I was in her office I thought the chair was SO uncomfy. Maybe she'd like something pink... like yours but NOWHERE near as grand or special, because only you deserve that." Seri finished. She didn't mind sucking up if it would annoy her Head of House. Seri would have none of this 'House Pride' nonsense. Plus she did not like Lafay AT ALL, and she didn't think Lafay and the Headmistress were on very good terms either. She smirked at the thought of Lafay and a pink chair. Oh would she love to see her face if it ever happened.
Ah, and so the troublemaker's friend COULD speak! Fascinating. "Thank you for the letter," the Headmistress nodded first. Then she listened to the girl, one eyebrow raised all the while, and at the end of her speech, Anastasia found herself smirking.
"You know," she thought about a way to phrase this, "having been a recent visitor to Professor Lafay's office, I can CERTAINLY see where you're coming from with this request. I don't think we need to ask Lafay's permission to replace the chairs, however."
She winked at the girl. "I think we could simply use a bit of magic on those ugly, uncomfortable chairs, no? And we could give her a sample of what it feels like to sit on something so ugly and uncomfortable by transforming HER desk chair. What do you two say?"
Her eyes flicked toward Lex, briefly, because she had an inkling of what SHE would say....

Lex was in the middle of another BEAM when she was suddenly interrupted by the Headmistress saying her least favourite word. "No". Her expression dropped slightly but she tried to maintain the Christmas cheer. What was the big deal? It was just hair. No matter how pretty it looked, at the end of the day it was still just as flammable as anyone else's.
"Fine. I won't touch it, jeez." No need to start freaking out over a simple question.
Her mood started sinking even faster. Just to recap, she didn't want her writing her a letter, she didn't want her touching her hair and now she didn't even want the cookies that others had worked so hard she had worked so hard to bake. POUT. From the corner of her eyes she saw Seri giving her a weird look. She thought to ask her about it but then the girl started going on about those uncomfy chairs in Professor Lafay's office.
Wait--EEEWWWWWWW! She was agreeing with the Headmistress on the pink idea! Ick! Gross! Disgusting! Why would anyone want anything in PINK?! What stunned her even more was that the woman actually agreed!--No...she did more than that! The cheer came back to Lex's face as she listened to whatever it was the Headmistress was saying. By the time she was done Lex was grinning from ear to ear.
"Neat! Sounds fun--I'm definitely in!" As if she would pass this up. No way. Not when the Headmistress was the one giving the offer. Talk about a get out of jail free card. Mischief was her calling; she couldn't help it.
