Having kept a wary eye and half his attention on the Pecaris throughout the Feast, Professor Aaron McKindy excused himself to Sadi once it looked like they were done. Of all the Houses, it was probably the least inspired idea to keep the Pecaris waiting around with nothing to do. This wasn’t to say that the rest of the Houses were necessarily well-behaved, or even that Pecari was a particularly ill-behaved House. After all, Aaron had only dealt with a minimal amount of trouble since being named Head of it upon his return to Sonora. It was merely that Pecari had always had something of a reputation, and the last thing his old friend and current Headmistress needed right now was a disruption.
Already competing for the position of ‘least ignorable person in the room’ due to the pink-bubbled tophat on his head coupled with a pair of plum dress robes that occasionally exhibited multi-coloured fireworks exploding across the breast, Aaron cast a slight Sonorus on himself before booming out the call for first year Pecaris. Once all the appropriate students had gathered around him, Aaron removed the charm and continued to speak in a slightly-above-normal voice. Cascade Hall was fairly loud, as it was usually during the Feast, and he needed the first years to hear him.
“Hey guys,” the black-haired, gray-green eyed Italian said, smiling down at the clustered eleven-year-olds. “I’m Professor McKindy; I teach Charms and I’m also the Head of Pecari House. I’m going to show you guys around the school in a second, and how to get to our commonroom,” actually, at the moment, he was waiting for the Crotali to be led out so he could start the walking tour, but that was okay. “Remember, if you get lost or need help, you can always stop an older student or ask me. I have an office connected to the Commons and you should be able to reach me quickly. Similarly,” Aaron added mildly, “I will be able to reach you quickly. Just in case, you know, the Commons mysteriously turn colours or your roommate’s bed turns into a toad or something.” Since Elly had graduated, there had been few such incidents, but it never hurt to be careful.
“All right then!” Aaron said, once he was sure the kids were ready. “Now pay attention and follow me!”
