Carma glanced at Lathen as he suddenly went in to his mother leaving him a house and taking off. Really? He didn't mention a father in that equation, what happened to him? Carma smirked softly; She loved Professor Lathen. He tried to be such a smart guy and get he still ended up telling her things about himself anyway. Carma shook her head and went back to her food, eating her curry in peace for a few minutes.
"So, I was thinking, Donna, Tallie, Aaron, of having a little get together. Some tea, cookies, music if someone wants to bring it... if you all are interested, of course. This week to celebrate the new term. I've missed everyone terribly."

Aaron merely shook his head. A get-together? With those people? He would probably end up going anyway - as he always tended to do at these party things, though normally on accident, and annoy people, though normally on purpose - but that didn't mean he didn't plan on going.
"Music? Cookies and tea with you people?"
Of course, it would probably give him headaches, as did a lot of things lately - loud noises, lights, et cetera - and that was another reason not to go. But on the plus side, again, he could get on their nerves. It really was a tough choice.
"That time away from your students has changed you, Rousseau," he commented. "And I really am surprised. Although, you'll probably get back into the mood when the term has really started."
Skipping the rest of his food, Aaron lifted a small peanut butter brownie chunk from a small plate beside his plate of dinner. He had had these especially prepared by the house elves, and even so, they were rather good. He still thought they could improve on them, though (=P).
"And tell me why I should go to this 'get-together'?"
(By the time you reply, I'll have gone to bed; stop getting on so late. =P See ya, everyone, and good night!)

"Hmmph!" Cory said folding his arms looking at his gryffindor table. ITS AS IF IT WAS NEARLY EMPTY!!!! "Uggh can you guys be a bit more exciting." He said and let out a sigh. Cory already spied on the staff table which seemed to be conversations and heck even LAUGHTER. He looked at his Gryffindor table and shook his head. They didn't even have conversation let alone LAUGHTER. Cory tried to think what he could do to spice it up a bit. He stood up on his bench and tried to get the attention of the Gryffindors. "Come on guys!! Wheres our Gryffindor spirit. Our friendliness, our Passion, heck our total awesomeness." He said pumping his fist on his chest. "I mean look at the professors over there. Laughing it up having a heck of a time." he said pointing to the table. He just got rolled eyes and weird looks from people,apparently No one gives a crap. He shrugged and sunk back down onto the bench. "Fine be boring old gits." he said in frustration. "But I don't have to wallow in your boringness." Cory wasn't sure if there was actually a legitimate word in his last sentence but he got his point across. He decided it was time for a little Gryffindor spirit/chanting like mad men. Yeah that sounded fun. "G! G-R-Y!! G-R-Y-F-I-E-S!! Gryfies are the very best!!!!!" He shouted running up and down the Gryffindor table trying to get them pumped. He ran over to the Hufflepuff table. "SPREAD 'EM LIKE A HUFFIE HOO HA!!!!!" He shouted at them getting up in there faces. And then he ran over to the Slytherin table. "YOU WISH YOU WERE A GRYFFIE HOO HA!!!!!!" It was all in spirit and he believed it wasn't breaking any rules. Shouting? He didn't believe soo. Just trying to get some good ol' Gryffie spirit in the house. (( You didn't even remember my name *sniffle* Its written right there on the left *cries* Just kidding and meh i wasn't expecting a reply twas just for giggles. And these chants actually sound pretty cool but like you gotta chant them with the right sort of tune to them I dunno just trying to get some more spirit hopefully it isn't a big deal or anything.I have to go now But I think some kids should join hint hint  )) |

((Haha, no, I didn't forget your name, I just have a short term memory so by the time I get to the reply box I'm thinking of a million different names. I do the same thing to Abba and everyone else, don't worry.))
"Changed me?" Carma smirked at Aaron... why did he think she was so different? She was acting just the same as she always did, wasn't she? Was was he so surprised, and at what... a get together? Aaron was a strange bird. What did he think of her?
"Well, Aaron, maybe I won't even invite you then..." It was a lie. She'd invite him. He was fun to have around - like renting entertainment for the evening, but cheaper. "But, everyone else is welcome to come," Carma smiled down the table, "Students too... I dunno... maybe I'll make invitations. But it's not that big of a deal, I just miss having people over to the house!"
She quietly finished up the rest of her meal, allowing the clean plate to simply vanish down into the kitchens for the house elves to deal with. Carma pulled a smaller dessert bowl toward her and filled it with peaches from the table, eating one or two before resuming conversation.
"Not that you're invited, Professor, but if you were, it would be nice for you to relax a bit. I have a pool. I have drinks. You'd look fabulous in some swimming trunks on a pool floaty..."
Carma smiled to herself... she was only teasing. Professor Lathen half-naked in her pool was a sure way to get kicked out of the neighbourhood and run all of her guests off.
"Think about it."

((I'm seriously speechless right now. Speechless. I far from expected this prefect thing, and I haven't been this excited since play auditions. Thank you, thank you, thank you! And while I'm typing, my goal for the term is to rp more, so someone, shove me around until I do, k? k.))
Emily had sat through the annoucements, eyeing the food, and listening carefully to the list of teachers. Most of the names were familiar to her, and brought a smile to her face. She was sitting next to Nicole, making a mental list of which classes to take as the announcements went on. She giggled at Lathen teaching Mythology, smiled happily at the fact Wiz Ec was still being offered, and swore up and down she was taking CoMC this year. And then it was time for the good stuff.
Not the eating sillies...
Head of Houses, Workers, Prefects, Head Girl/Boy. She loved to hear the list and clap and cheer for the names that were called, knowing each and every one of them more than deserved their position. She listened for Heads of Houses, and smiled happily to find Rowan was theirs. She was positive it was an excellent position for her.
She didn't usually spend a vast amount of time in the library, the hospital wing or the like, but listening to who was working where would be advantageous for later.
And then it was Prefects. She could name about five fourth, fifth, and six years that would make perfect prefects, and had always figured that they would be the ones called. Older, wiser, that whole lot. But as the names were read, she scanned the faces around her, thinking of which ones were most deserving.
And then the unthinkable happened. Her own name was called. At first, she thought it was a fluke, a misreading, but she didn't know any other Hufflepuffs named Emily Quinn. As reality sunk in and Nicole's name was called she hugged her friend and roommate, unable to form words of congrats she was in so much shock.
She vaguely heard Kiaro's name called for Head Girl, and remembered the fact she probably wouldn't be alive it it wasn't for her. Head Boys didn't register with her, as her mind was already racing at the Prefect position. Her grin as wide as could be, she dug into the meal with the rest of the Great hall, but found her excitement caused her to barely be able to eat anything.

(Congrats. xD)
Aaron made something of a shrugging action, his cold eyes again turning to see the students at his House table. "Well, for one, I'm surprised - and disappointed - that you haven't shown anymore hositility; at least, not anytime soon. Naturally, I'd expect that to come back by the time the term has started.
"Go ahead, don't invite me. Save me the time of turning you down, and save your own time, rather than wasting it. I'm sure the Headmaster would love to go. You didn't have to threaten anybody to come back, did you, Rousseau? That would be a pity.
"Now, stop wasting my time. I have food to enjoy," Aaron added, taking another small-sized peanut butter chunk.
(Oy, I didn't get on early enough. Gotta go to school, now. o.o)

((well now time to do something to make Carma laugh so hard))
Malcolm got out of his seat and around the great hall yelling out "woop woop woop for the canteloupe" and rapped all 4000+ students on the heads and then rapped the professors on the heads and did that 3 times and sat back down and said "Nothing lie a good run and shout to calm yourselves."

Rowan was unusually immersed in her food, spending extra time savoring each bite. Normally she was so worried about what classes she was going to take and which classes would be the easiest to pass while still seeming like she tried....that she hardly ate at the feast at all. She missed Abba strolling in on his porcelain chair and Aaron wearing a jello suit. But the one thing that she didn't miss was crazy Malcolm having a psychotic episode. Well, okay. She did miss most of it until she was drummed on the head (Rowan had just dismissed the yelling as someone arguing over the pumpkin ale). She looked up with a huge stink eye at Malcolm....until she saw it was him and just gave him a flirtatious smile and a wave. Sweet guys were hard to get mad at and it wasn't like he meant any harm, so Rowan just let it go for now as she dove back into her baked potato.

Carma laughed at Malcolm as he ran the gauntlet of the hall, somehow managing to knock everybody upside the head as he went! She was still giggling when he came around and hit her on the head.
"Owww," Carma snickered through her pain, rubbing her head and watching Malcolm run off, eventually taking his seat back with the rest of the professors.
"Aww, Professor, you got bonked too," She laughed at Lathen, who was just as much a victim as they were. "I love these feasts. Abba on the pot, Malcolm loves canteloupe... I don't know how any learning gets done here. Anyway... I don't see why you're disappointed. Would you like me to be more more mean to you? Never thought of you as a masochist, but... to each his own."
Carma smiled at Aaron and finished off her peaches, feeling quite full. She leaned back in her chair and got a good look at the students. It looked like it would be a good term. She was particularly excited about a few certain houses, as always... what could she say. Just because she was on staff didn't mean she wasn't allowed to root for her own team every now and then!
"Forsee a house cup win this year, Aaron?"

Emma saw ABBA, and couldn't help but lauigh. ABBA never failed to make her laugh. Emma saw Carma, and waved. "Hi, Carma. How have you been?" Emma had not seen Carma in ages like so many others. Emma noticed that Tallie, and Cara, and so many new staff members joined her at the staff table.

"Thats great to hear my dear, if there had been any mishapes I woulda had to go ready my pot for some student stew"
Tallie tended to be all bark and no bite when she attempted to be even the least bit bitter to anyone...
"We'll I'm doing just dandy doodle...random mishapes like usual" her eyes brighten at the relization that she actually had new news for Cara "and I got myself a house" she giggled picturing her gingerbread abode...it suited her well "You should stop by some time"
Who could not respond to Carma's darling voice? at the sound of a proper hello from carma she turned smiling brightly "Hiya Miss Carma!" she nosily half-listined to the converstaions around her until she herd something about a little gathering at Carma's house "Sounds nice...don't think I'v been over since the body paint project" she was well aware it sounded rather odd and somewhat dirty...but she could promise all it was nothing of the sort...that kind of thing only poped up when talking about occurances at Farrah's home
Tallie reached over with a sly attempt to kidnapp Cara's hot Choclate take a large sloppy drink and place it back as if the whole thing never happened...of course it was all too obvious she had done so |

"Thank you carma, im telling you those oranges are out to get me, and no i just wanted the juice out of this time."she said as she poked a straw into the orange and sucked the juice out of it. Then felt her delicate noggin being whapped by malcom in one of his bouts of hyperactivity"I thought i told those house elves not to give that man sugar."she went and took out another straw and went after malcom."Whap me on the head again and I'll be coming after your neck with me straw..muhhhaaaa"she said teasingly as she flicked him on his noggin and marched back to carma pausing to give abba a roll of soft three ply charmin to wipe his tusshie."Yes tea and cookies would be lovely carma dear, I love the peanut butter bar ones with the raisins in them..yum."

Cara giggled and nodded, "Sounds yummy. And tasty." Cara smiled rocking her short little legs under the chair of her own seat as she ate some more wings. Having a chicken wing in her mouth she giggled nodding, "That's gooodd. Still baking those muffins missy? We should have a breakfast party one day and have a bunch of them." She suggested nodding as she watched her eyes brighten like a light bulb. Swallowing her wing her eyes widened, "Get outttt. A housee? I really need to visit then." she added a wingk.
Hearing the word body paint a shiver ran up her spine. That sounded fun. A big old party where they roll around on a huge canvas covered in paint. Clothed of course. *cough* Cara gave a sneeze and just at that time where her eyes blinked she missed Tallie's Hot Chocolate kidnap. Darn those sneezes. Taking her mug she glanced down and didn't see all that much left. Her eyes blinked a couple of times as she looked under the table to see where oh where had her hot chocolate gone. |

THANK YOU STAFF!)) Nicole hugged Emily when her name was called and said,"Congradulations fellow Prefect. Wow I'm so shocked right now!" Nicole's mouth was wide open and slowly it turned into a delighted and thankful grin. "I didn't even think 2nd years could be prefects, I thought you had to apply too. So I had no idea this was going to happen." She looked at Emily who was still speechless and she giggled. |

Aaron glared evilly at Malcolm, although he didn't care too much. He'd have adequate time to get back at him later. For now, he needed to sort through his thoughts.
"Regardless of how you act toward me, I'm not going to pay much attention. I have a class to focus on, once the term truly begins, as well as a House to lead to a definite victory at Hogwarts. After all, I wouldn't have taken the Slytherin Head position if I had not expected this House to win, in the least. What a dumb question."
(Eh, it's short, but I figured it's better than nothing. ^_^)
