Celeste turned her attention to her colleague beside the headmaster when Dhruv begged her pardon. “Just one option,” she mused with a slight shrug, letting Winterbottom do his reveal.

Now this was the camaraderie that made her more comfortable within her work environment. And when her neighbor agreed with her while also answering the question like only a Creatures Professor could, she couldn’t help adding to the laughter. “Very interesting to know,” she remarked truthfully.
Yes, she could do this.
“Guid evening,” the astronomy greeted the late comer who was hard to miss with a polite smile. Thankfully the man having the luck to make it just in the nick of time…for the answer and the opening speech. “Yer welcome, Headmaster,” Celeste remarked with a nod, a slight eyebrow raise at the thought of a conjured or transfigured polar bear making the evening more interesting. Instead, the man settled for his words that set the feast alight as the house-elves magic appeared for all.
There was a touch of sadness at the end that made Celeste glance once more at Wilbur once he settled back but she said nothing as it was not the time or place to go there. Instead, she added food to her plate and enjoyed the good moments, her gaze every once and a while passing to the house tables especially her former one.
Ah the memories.
