Try better next time! What did the woman think she did when she went out on her little trips to the Ministry? Poked the man into her dastardly destiny for him? Merlin! Fiona sniffed and stabbed at her chicken dumplings with her fork for a moment before scooping one into her mouth.
Just around then several of her staff came slipping into the Hall-late. She smiled at them in return but didn't inform them that she, too, was late. But at least she had an excuse. They were there in the castle the entire time. She was gone for a few months and her staff began to slack. What a shame.
Fiona laughed at Tam's all too true statement. Scrimpy (her nickname for the horrid Minister) was more mortal than he thought! "They aren't meant for politics for good reason. They're smart and they stay out of all that treachery. You, for example, are way too innocent to manipulate anyone." she commented, slightly mocking in tone.

Gulping, he very hesitatingly slipped away from his cover, but looked ready to run. "Okay? Fine. Fine. Just fine." He said carefully, but, wait... if he was fine she might make him do something... "But I'm tired too. Waayyyy to tired to read or write." "Okay..." Allegra answered, giving the first year an odd look. She wasn't quite sure why he was talking about reading and writing during the feast and thought it was strange he was talking about studying rather than eating. Most boys she knew were more interested in food than books... even the most studious ones. She resisted the urge to feel the boy's forehead to see if he was sick. That was probably way too motherly for either of them.

Christina looked over at Jase as he popped out to answer Allegra. She really wondered why he was acting so scared. She found it odd coming from the first year. Of course, first years would probibly be scared. However, as scared as he is, she felt it to be pretty odd. She looked over at Jase. "If you prefer to, you could go lay down," she said to him.

"Of course. I'm Tamis Raynor; from a high-esteemed (if dead) pureblood family, fantastic N.E.W.Ts scores, sufficient healer, accomplished animagi, and a decorated ex-auror with a completely clean record." She smiled slyly, "Why should I ever be expected to have my nose somewhere it should not? Or try my will on someone I have no reason to?"
She barked a laugh as most of the school polished off their dinners and their plated willed with dessert. Tamis, however, did not touch the sweets, but rather took another swing from her goblet.
Clearing her throat, she gave a light cough. "Forgetting something, Fiona?" She was of course referring to the announcement of Head Studentship.

Drew snickered to himself as the girls fussed over poor Jase. If the mothering of the firstie got too bad Drew would of course, step in and put a stop to it, but for now, he sat back and enjoyed the show. As the desserts made an appearence, he grabbed a hunk of pie and sat back to watch the rest of the show.

Unfortunately for the Headmistress, she couldn't twist Tam's morals and ideas to a better side of the world. The woman was brilliant and would make a great ally. Sooner or later, the two women's true ways of life would clash violently despite their friendship. It would be a shame, too. Such talent gone to waste defending Muggles and nasty little Mudbloods. Fiona let out a small sigh at this thought, but quickly dismissed it. Better to think of those things when the time came.
It seemed Fiona hadn't blinked an eye that desserts piled high on all of the plates in the middle strip of the table, causing most of the students to salivate like mad. While they had all eaten their share of food, no one could ever turn down delicious sweets and candies and cakes of all kinds, not even Fiona. She selected a scrumptious looking cheesecake of what flavor she was unaware of just yet.
"Forgetting something? Hmm?" she asked with a slightly furrowed brow and a confused look. "What on earth are you speaking of, Tam?" she tapped her nails upon the table. The issue of who would be Hogwart's student leaders had completely slipped her mind, especially with what she had been doing on her trip.

The expression of Jase's face as his gaze darted from one mother hen to the other was quite equivalent with a chipmunk being caught eating at his stash of hidden nuts. That look it got while observing a possible predator and debating whether it should stay and eat its nuts or flee.
Go lay down? Was that code for 'go back to the common room for we can give you a makeover'?
"No... err... I don't want to go to bed just yet..." Just then table filled with piles upon piles of sweet. "Oh look! Dessert!"
He hoped that was a good enough distraction.

Arianna stared blankly at Jase. He was one weird kid. He had been avoiding her from day one and she couldn't figure out why. Either someone had gotten him with a good hex that caused him to shy away from all girls, or he'd actually believed whatever nonsense Drew had whispered to Jase that first day Arianna had met him.
"Help yourself," the offered a small smile to the boy as she pushed a tart towards him. "These aren't bad, but the trifles are even better."

The woman had forgot. One of these days Tamis was just going to staple notices to her forehead with an agenda for her that day. This one had been simple, just show up, greet the school, announce Head Boy and Girl, and then shoo everyone off to bed. She was going to stable notices to her head.
"Nothing at all if you wish to not appoint the Head Student positions," she replied in a round-about manner, Fiona was not one to like being caught in a slip -- nor did Tamis for that matter -- and this was a much safer way of saying 'you have to appoint the student leaders you bampot'.

Violet enjoyed the delights in front of her, including the turkish delights. It was an enjoyable evening though. Violet wondered when the last course would be finished. Violet anxiously waited to hear the final results of the head boy/girl nominations.

Fiona's hand swung up to lightly slap her forehead and squinted her eyes in irriation. Bloody hell. How could she forget something like that! No matter had ever before slipped her mind that she could recall. Must be getting old, that's all, was her quick thought excuse for her mistake.
"Ah, yes. Of course. I knew about it, I was just making sure you were paying attention, Tam." the Headmistress winked with a bright grin after releasing the annoyed expression off her face. She stood back, noisily pushing back the Head chair and tapped on her glass to get everyone's eyes off of the mountains of sweets and onto her. "I have just one more announcement for all of you before we have your respective House prefects usher you up to bed. This year's Head Girl is Allegra Thornton of Ravenclaw. Congratulations." she smiled at one of the brightest students in the school. The title of Head Boy would go to no one for now unless a more qualified male showed up sometime. The choices she had to pick from were few.
Fiona lightly clapped her hands together in an applause and waited for the Hall to become quiet again. "House Prefects," she addressed. "It's time to show your first years up to their respective dorms rooms. The rest of you should follow. Time for bed, for tomorrow is your first day of classes." she announced with a small nod. "Your schedules will be given out at breakfast, so be sure to attend in the morning."
