As always the start of year feast was a wonderful time for both students and staff alike. The staff table held many familiar faces but several new ones as well. Among the new faces, Professor Cerci Nyx recognized her former student Sabrina Shore who had been hired on as the new Transfigurations Professor. While the redhead was young Cerci was more than aware of her mind and maturity being well suited for the role. Like many of the Shore’s Sabrina had been a shining example of Hogwarts success as well as the greatness expected of her family name. It was a heavy burden to bear, a name could hold so much power in this world and she was all too familiar with what could happen when that name was tarnished. Aside from Sabrina, it seemed they had another star joining the ranks of the staff as none other than Alicia Washington sat between Tamzin and Birger. It seemed that the world-famous athlete had taken a break from professional quidditch after winning this year's Quidditch World Cup, and not for the first time either. From what Cerci had gathered this young woman wanted to take time to encourage the love of quidditch in younger generations thus she applied to Hogwarts to fill the role of Flying Professor and Quidditch Coach. An admirable goal if what she had heard was true but she hoped the young witch would remember to treat the students as students rather than friends, if not it could make for great difficulty being seen as unbiased in a match.
The Potion Master's rich brown eyes glowed whiskey gold in the candlelight as she looked out upon the students and took a sip of her wine. As to be expected many of the 17-year-olds had made their way towards the goblet at the head of the great hall and were quarreling amongst themselves. Her eyes watched the members of Slytherin house closely. She was more than aware of how reactive Sebastian Blake could be but it seemed the young man was being put in his place along with several others by Skyri Shore. A small smirk pulled at her deep burgundy lips as she watched the scene unfold. It wasn’t often young Skyri found her voice in such a way and it was lucky for the others that she had or all the houses would have risked losing points on the first night. Of course, Professor Nyx being head of Slytherin house might make others believe she would go easier on the students of the serpent crest but anyone who truly knows the Potions Master would have a deep understanding that she would take points from her own house as easily as she would any of the others. She had high expectations for all of her students and as much as she would help those who put in effort she was also more than willing to let those who squander opportunity suffer the consequences of their own actions.
Speaking of behavior and the possibility of lost points a loud disruption from the Hufflepuff table grabbed her attention. It seemed that Albert Ahearn had decided to act out against several of his fellow students by using magic against them. Swiftly Professor Nyx stood and descended the steps with all the elegance and authority of a queen, her eyes blazing like golden flames as she approached the student. “Mr. Ahearn I neither know or care about the behavior you are allowed to exhibit at home but in these walls and on these grounds you are not to use your magic against another student unless in a sanctioned duel or classroom!” She reprimanded him with a scathing tone. “Now bring them down and apologize to them at once. Your behavior will come at the cost of 40 points from Hufflepuff tonight.” She declared, taking 10 points per student who had been acted against. “Find a better way to deal with your emotions before you end up spending every weekend of this school year in detention.” The finality of her words made it clear that this conversation was at an end and in no way open for debate. Behind her, she could practically sense the shame and disappointment rolling off of Tamzin as the head of Hufflepuff house would likely have a good amount on her plate early in the year if behavior like this continued.
