Gabriella followed some of the others into the Great Hall, and took her seat at the HUfflepuff Table. She was already haeing separation anxieties from being away from Ameleesha, but she wasn't allowed to have her with her at the feast. Her daughter wsa in their room with a nurse, and Gabriella was fretting. She'd known this would be the set up, but still, putting it into practice was hard!
Looking up at the Staff Table, shestarted slightly, seeing the woman sitting in the Headmistress' seat. She'd half expected to see Kildara up there still, but they all knew she was dead. The woman looked authorative. A look, she must admit, Kildara never accomplished. This woman looked quite young, though she'd heared she was different. Maybe witches like her didn't age?
Gabriella shrugged and waited impatiently for everything to happen.

Juliette took her seat that the Hufflepuff table and stared down at it for a few minutes, running her finger in circular patterns on it before she looked up and around the hall. She stared at the new headmistress of the school and smiled, the one good thing that had happened in the war was Kildara was gone, she couldn't hurt anyone else. She turned her head and saw a girl sitting next to her. "Hey... Gabriella, right?" she asked in a strained tone while she tried her hardest to smile.

Gabriella looked up as someone sat down beside her. She recognised her, but she couldn't remember why. When the girl spoke to her, she heard the slightest hint of a Frenh accent and knew exactly who she was. Her face dropped, seeing the strained tone of the smile on the other girl's face.
"Yeah, Gabriella," she assured her. "It's Juliette, right?" She gave her a sympathetic smile, not wanting to voice her condolances about Zeke. He'd been a character, and he'd be sorely missed by everyone.

Juliette nodded her head, "yeah. That's my name" she said as normally as she could manage. She could see the smile on Gabriella's face, it wasn't one happiness or laughter. It was one of condolance. One she had seen at least fifty times during the holidays from her friends and family. "How were you holidays?" she asked, trying to keep the subject away from Zeke. It was too hard to even think about.

The question sort of shoked her, that Juliette wanted to continue talking. "Ummm - busy. Kept my mind off things. I had my daughter during the holidays, she's a lot of work," she told her. "You should come and help me with her one time," she offered.

Juliette smiled sincerly when she spoke of her daughter. "I heard about that" she nodded. Some girls on the train were talking about Gabriella giving birth. "I'm sure she's as beautiful as her mother" she smiled again and brushed the brown hair away from her eyes thaat lit up at the thought of helping her with the little girl. "I'd love to. What did you name her?"

"Thank you," Gabriella replied, smiling as she watched Juliette's face light up. "Good, I'm she'd love to meet you. She's only new, but you can see other people fascinate her," she chuckled. "Ameleesha. Her name's Ameleesha. Odd, I know, but it's a family name." Shrugging her shoulders, she smiled.

Juliette grinned. "So - um - how's the father?" she didn't know if it was an alright question to ask, after the war and all. Plus she didn't know if the father actually stuck around after Ameleesha was born. She nodded her head "It's a nice name. Just not very common" she shrugged. She liked the name.

Gabriella shrugged. "He - uh - he shot through. I have no idea where he is. He's been MIA for a while now. Doesn't really bother me, knowing now he doesn't want to help, rather than him not helping, and me having to deal with him. I prefer it this way." Golly she sounded ... mature! "Thanks, yeah it was my grandmother's name, so I decided to use it."

Finally, Professor Templeton stood in front of the school.
"Welcome to a new year. To the new students, welcome, and I hope your time here is as enjoyable as the older students' has been. To everyone else, welcome back. The last year here bought with it much death and destruction. This year, I am hoping you will all let me help work through it all. I understand many of your friends are no longer with us, and I am in no way, trying to make you forget them, just honour their spirits.
I also understand, there are some that were on the opposing side that have returned this year. I would ask you please, DO NOT give them a hard time. They are suffering just as you are, having lost friends, and family.
You may find my approach a lot different to the late Professor Snape's. I am, in general, a little stricter. I'm older, and not as flippant. But, I am approachable. So, if any of you have problems, my door is always open.
There are just a few small things I have to touch on, before you can eat. I'd like to congratulate Ravenclaw, Aidan Fischer, and Gryffindor, Alycya Weasley, on their appointments as Head Boy and Girl. Also, I'd like to congratulate Professor Blackthorn on her appointment as Head of Slytherin House. I would also like to welcome the new History of Magic Professor, and Head of Ravenclaw, Professor Duran. May we wish them luck.
Well, that's all. May the Feast begin."
Professor Templeton sat, and the tables were suddenly laden with food.

Juliette nodded, his understood that, why would you want someone there if they're just ignoring their responisiblities. She opened her mouth to speak when she heard another voice, realising it was the headmistress her head turned and she listened to her speech. When she said something about lost friends she turned her head slowly away and stared at the table again. She stayed that way until she finished speaking but made no attempt to take some food that had just appeared in front of her.
