"Hello everyone!" Cinq exclaimed as he entered the Great Hall, greeting his fellow colleagues. This summer had been the closest to normal, without any major incident. Unless you count a little girl joining the Striker's. Ugh.

The man nevertheless kept up a bright smile as he took a seat at the table. He was early, it seemed. Well, better early than late, right? Many of the professors from the previous year left, and several new teachers were hired to fill the empty positions. A new eclectic selection of adults who would guide talented students through their times at Hogwarts... Not bad. It was still sad watching friends and comrades leave though. Now let's hope that Cinq could get through the night without any incident, such as accidentally breaking metal or something... that could be hard to explain. Haha...

Situated next to him was a slightly nervous woman whom he had never seen before. Perhaps she was new? It was time for Cinq to activate talkative mode. "Hi! My name is Cinq Moreau. Are you by any chance a newly hired professor?"

❝ Perhaps life is solemn,
And perhaps death is daunting.
But as the undead I am neither. ❞

This was defiantly not something he thought he'd ever actually get to do. The next time he thought he'd get to come back to Hogwarts was when his little girl was finally graduating. Instead the young adult found himself making his way to the staff table a tiny smile on his face as he did so. Xenos had always wanted to teach. During his school years, the pale man often helped many of his classmates get the handle on anything they struggled with. Yuan was often abusing his willingness to help but Xenos never argued it. It was the Seer's fault that he was here today anyway leaving him no room to complain even now. Yuan had found out about the open teaching position and Xenos veritably leap at it. Dante seemed to enjoy the fact that he was no longer in a life threatening position as well. He was glad to no longer be there as well despite loving being an Auror as well. Sometimes the things you saw on that job stuck with you and as far as Xenos was concerned he had enough demons to battle. Running a pale hand through his snowy hair Xenos refocused his thoughts to the present instead of dwelling behind him. The staff table had several people up there and not a soul he recognized. Had so many professors left in the short time since he had graduated? That was a bit heartbreaking. Xenos thought it would have been amusing to work alongside the people who had once shown him what to do.

Behind silver rimmed oval glasses, his crimson toned eyes rolled slowly over the faces up there trying to commit them to memory. There was a man with tousled brown hair and an easy disposition. A book was held in his hands and to Xenos he seemed like the type who got lost in reading often, a trait the albino could appreciate. He did it often too. Near him was a blond who seemed to be a friendly woman though she seemed a bit shy too. Maybe she didn't do well with new people? Up next was a man he defiantly didn't recall. The dark skinned man seemed formal and serious though Xenos couldn't read him very well. He wasn't openly engaging anyone leaving the pale man to his musing. Ah finally there was what he was looking for. The woman had wavy brown hair and seemed a bit fidgety. Someone else who was new, that was what he hoped to see. Xenos hadn't liked the thought of being the only new person here this year. Before his attention got too much farther down the growing line of professors he spotted someone else he had hoped to see. One leg crossed over the other, her pale golden hair curling lightly about a soft face. Did Professor Evernight ever change? She seemed to be the only professor from his years as a student here though he hadn't seen her in her new position. Yuan did tell him she had become the headmistress but he hadn't seen her since graduation. As long as he kept himself from calling her professor life would hopefully be good.

Reflexively before picking a seat Xenos straightened his black vest and silver tie. Coming up to the empty seat next to the dark haired man who was currently engaging the nervous woman, Xenos slid into it. Thin hands pushed his glasses back up into position from where they had started to slid. "Good evening. I do hope you do not mind me joining you." He said his voice calm. Xenos may have been new but being back at the school nor the concept of dealing with several classes of student scare him. That didn't mean however that he had no interest in his new colleagues. "I am Xenos da Vinci, pleased to meet you." Xenos continued with a light smile on his face. Shifting lightly he crossed one long leg over the other as leaned on the table. Fingers interlocking he rested his cheek lightly against the sides of his hands as he turned to look at the three who were currently the only ones talking. Now came the fun part of getting to know people.

Frederick walked along into the Great Hall, ready for another great year of teaching the many students here at Hogwarts. He had been teaching the fourth through the seventh years Transfiguration for only a year, but he had enjoyed it very much. They all seemed to be like sponges, ready to take on the role of listeners. Maybe it was because they were so mature since they were 14 and above, but he maybe, if they needed would teach the 1st through 3rds. If they didn't hire one soon, he would approach the headmistress about the job. He loved teaching kids anyway.

Frederick sat down. He really paid no attention to whom he had sat next to, but as he sat down, he made the only greeting he could think of. "Hello everyone." That was probably the most horrible greeting he could come up with, but it would do. Besides, he really had not come to know any of the other staff members anyway. Maybe he would change that this year.

"Cinq Moreau, Ghost and Ghouls. I will be certain to remember that. How are you liking it? The professor back when I was in school could not seem to stay put and honestly I sometimes wonder how we managed to pass the class." Xenos said putting the name in his memory next to the image of the dark haired man with glasses. The albino was already starting to like this man, his friendly attitude making it easy to talk to him. He couldn't help but wonder what Cinq saw though when he looked at him. This man seemed a bit guarded and to be honest Xenos liked to see that in other people. It made him feel better about shielding his own history a bit less like paranoia and more like a normal trait. Briefly Xenos' gaze lifted though his head did not when a new figured joined the table. Was it just because of his training as an Auror that he felt the need to catalog and recall details of people? Xenos remembered doing it during his school years but simply as a way to remember who people were talking about or who he was speaking too. Still he found himself noting the dark haired and dark eyed man who made a brief greeting before seeming to ignore everyone. Interesting. Silently he noted that a lot of the staff table seemed determined to sit in silence and wait for the sorting. It all seemed odd to him as once again he recalled during school seeing the staff talking almost more loudly then the students. Of course that could be fond nostalgia clouding his memory too.

"It is wonderful to hear you have a passion for art, Ms. Ellis. Art is a wonderful thing and I hope you find some students as passionate for it as you." Xenos added before falling silent as Naitanna spoke about her mythology studies. Myths were rather fun tales in his opinion, a bit outside of logic yes but where's the fun in staying inside the box all the time? Melody loved them too and often Xenos found himself telling her some of the lighter ones at bed time. That girl would read anything she could get her tiny hands on though. Some days she was too much like her father. Her attention turned to Cinq for a moment before moving to him. "I apologize I did not even realize I forgot to say. I am the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for the first through third years. I needed a change of pace from my old job and to be honest I believe my family is happy about it. Too much violence going on in that field right now." Xenos answered with a light smile. He still got a little flutter in his chest every time he thought about the fact that he was actually doing this. Truly he never thought he'd have a chance to teach at the school that had changed so much in his life. Probably a lot of people felt that way about Hogwarts and a part of him felt silly for the giddy feeling that kept creeping up on him. He'd get over it soon enough...if not at least after the first day of classes.

One slender eyebrow rose when the tan haired woman explained that she never got a letter. Never got one? Any child who possessed magic and was born within the confines of the United Kingdoms should have gotten one. Even Xerxes had though he had not attended. That left only one reason why. "Well Ms. Ellis that makes you all the braver for being here. I do not think I could be here with all these students learning magic without it. If you ever run into trouble with them please do not hesitate to ask help. My door will always be open." Xenos honestly didn't know how the woman could be here as a Squib, not because she didn't possess magic but just knowing that students could play pranks on her without her being able to counter it bothered him. He silently promised to keep an eye out for the art professor. Turning his attention to the blond he nodded his head lightly in an apologetic way. "I apologize ma'am I had not meant to ignore you. I am Xenos da Vinci, pleasure to meet you." Wouldn't be good for him to be rude now would it? Maybe she was a bit more interested in talking to Natianna but he could understand. He always found it easier to talk to other men when he was meeting someone new then to women. Maybe she was the same way? "So Cinq, do you mind me asking what you have planned for the year? Any fun creatures you plan to bring in?" Xenos asked looking back at the pale man. It had always been his favorite class periods when ever any class brought the creatures in to show. It would also be nice to know what other classes were doing in comparison to his own. After all his third years might be taking Cinq's class as well. He would have to make sure not to bore them with learning the same things.
