Gathering my new Crotali by Professor Skies
The Opening Feast was always a pleasant occasion, and remained so, even with her new duties. It wasn't the case that they were arduous in any way, just that the first time of doing something was always a little strange. Still, after she had helped the first years to be sorted, trying to smile reassuringly at them all as she offered them the goblet, the feast had returned to pretty much its usual self.She had had a light and healthy supper of ratatouille, in order to justify a little extravagance during the dessert course, meaning she could sample both a chocolate torte and a lovely refreshing lemon roulade. It wasn't a way she wanted to eat every night – certainly she felt rather like she'd eaten too many sweet things – but it was nice to treat herself at the start of term.
At the end of the feast, she made her way towards the Crotalus table. She was tall for a woman so, even though a handful of the older male students were surpassing her, her blonde head was still clearly visible above the crowd. She had gone for a house neutral colour, owing to her dual status as deputy head, and was thus wearing deep plum robes. She had a lot of blue in her wardrobe, which she hoped her newly acquired house wouldn't regard as disloyal. She had been careful of wearing it after Quidditch already, so hoped that would be a sufficient show of respect.
“Crotali – Crotali to me please,” she called out, voice ringing clearly above the gentle hubbub.
OOC – this is continued (with a slightly overlapping time frame) in the Crotalus Commons. You do not need to reply to this thread but may do so if you wish, ditto the thread in your Common Room. You are now at liberty to post on any board of Sonora, besides the commons of other houses, within the guidelines set out by the site rules. You may also continue to post at the feast for as long as you wish.
