"Are all the professors here?" she asks, talking more to herself than the students around her.
She can only see part of the head table from where she's sitting, so she cranes her neck some more. Ah, there he is. She spots the object of her quest and smiles, then turns back to her plate. Somehow, he'd gotten even more handsome over the summer break.
She can't wait for her first Astronomy class.

"Cordelia thinks she's too good for EVERYONE!" Kara says, forgetting this is gossip and neglecting to whisper. She has a real set of lungs and her words float across the room.

He's been allowed to commentate! The professors have had some sort of brain lapse and are letting him commentate the Quidditch matches!
He hasn't actually told anyone about the whole colourblind, greens looking red business. It's caused a few mix-ups when he's accidentally walked off with a Gryffindor scarf instead of his own, but on the whole he's gotten away with it. Caleb can only imagine how commentating is going to go when Slytherin plays Gryffindor.

Other people who are letting him speak loud enough that the whole school can hear! Hahahahaha!

"I'd rather drink my own piss."
And Caled is grinning like an idiot.
"Jesus. I should take house points just for your expression."
He won't, of course.

So, he needs to work on his 'hot and easy' list. For now, it's a simple process of evaluation. Later, he'll analyse the matter in greater depth. Probably dick in hand, after he's inputted the data into his book.
But now. Now was the time to scope everyone out.

He watches Kirill looking around as he takes a drink of his milk.
Remus looks around, too, unsure of what it is his friend is looking for.
Whatever it is, Remus doesn't see it.

"Hmmph?"
He swallows.
"Sorry for what?"
He can't imagine. Kirill hadn't done anything wrong.

The magic in the Hall gives her skin a slightly crawly feeling and makes her rub her arms. In a rustle of tight fabric and feathers, she turns to the staff member next to her and asks, "Is it like this every year? With the hat? What's the story about the hat?""

"It could really use some help with its songwriting, too. I've offered, but it never takes me up on it."

"Fucking ungrateful hat."
