~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ November 20, in the Great Hall, at some Table. Catharine smiled widely, and added, "Uhh, welcome to the table." It was a rather cheesy thing to say, especially when the Headmistress was on the verge of speaking for her speech. It wasn't that she didn't like the kid or anything, but it was strange that he didn't sit with the other second-years. She kind of wanted to ask, but decided not to, and reasoned that it was a result of the quality organization set up by Professor XD. The headmistress Lorenta started her speech, but in an undertone, she had to ask. "Nichodemus... what's with this total stupid anarchy today? It's like Professor XD totally forgot today was Welcome Day." Not that she remembered herself, but /she/ wasn't the Head of Admissions. He nodded in understanding, "The sad part is, he knew. But when I got to his room to pick up the documents, he had fallen asleep on the instructions and a lot of the ink got messed up." He turned over his shoulder to see other Second Year students in various states of embarrassment at tables they should not have been. The same boy that had announced his arrival was pale as death, sitting in the midst of some angered Fourth Intermediate students and he was ready to faint. Another Second Intermediate was stuck with the Second Primaries, looking as though she were a babysitter, much to her chagrin. With the same level whisper, he continued with a small frown, "I tried to tell him, but I couldn't get a word before he shoo'ed me off." He turned his gaze back to the front table and wondered if the Headmistress had noticed their predicament. If she did notice, it was oblivious to the rest of them. |
