The Great Hall was already swarming with students, the Professors already at the table at the top of the hall. Artimus swung the doors open, getting a few stares from some students. He ignored them as he went up to the table, he knew that he was late for the Welcoming Feast, but it didn't bother him. As long as he was there before the sorting to see what Slytherin's he would be getting, then he was on time.
The only seat left was one next to his dear friend Chaz, he sat down, without saying a word to anyone else. The Headmaster gave him an acknowledging nod, which Atri them returned. After so many years, he had gotten use to Art's lateness. He turned to Chaz. "Hello."

Charlize had promptly taken her seat at the staff table, The start of year feast was one she looked forward to and the only feast all staff had to attend. She was waiting for Artimus. The seat next to her was empty when people started to settle down and the french woman frowned slightly. However the doors were opened and in he came. She rolled her eyes. Of course he would be late. Arti was soon up at the table and exchanging nods with the headmaster.
"Better late than never I guess." Charlize muttered to him. "Hello." Chaz leaned over and kissed his cheek. They had met when he had been travelling after his seventh year and had hit it off. Nothing romantic had ever happened between them and would never happen. Moose was her brother and she loved him to bits even if he did wind her up to the point she wanted to hex him. "Your christmas present is going to be a watch."

Atimus laughed slightly, as he saw the students slowly being called up for their sorting. He hoped that he didn't get a weedy bunch this year like last year. They were no use, and it took his a while to straighten them up properly. They hadn't even seemed like proper Slytherin's, it wasn't until the end of the year that they had shaped up properly. And this year Artimus was determined that they would win the House Cup.
"I don't need a watch, I just choose to be late." Fashionably at that. He didn;t like being on time, he didn't know why, it wasn;t something that he did. And what was the point in being there, just to watch a bunch of children slowly clamber into the hall.

The sorting had started and Charlize leaned slightly closer to Moose so they could continue their conversation. When he said he liked being late she rolled her eyes, "Arti, you weren't cool when you were a student and hun, you still aren't cool now." Chaz whispered to him.
The hat had been placed on the first student and it took some time before it called out Ravenclaw. Charlize applauded with the rest of the school. "Some of them look terrified." Chaz said looking at the student that were gathered a few feet away from the sorting hat and the school.

Atrimus got slightly more comfortable in his chair as the Sorting started, he didn't really care for the other houses. But it was always interesting. "I'm not trying to be cool at all, but I'm not particularly fond of watching a load a scared first years just stumble into the hall."
Artimus turned to Chaz again, "If I wasn't a Head of House, I wouldn't be here either. I don;t understand why they would even be scared. And that one looked like a Ravenclaw anyway, didn't seem like Slytherin material." He wasn't having to go through all the trouble that he had done last year.

She was rolling her eyes at Artimus. "How can someone even look like they belong in a house?" Chaz asked him and she took a bite of the cake on her plate. Anyone that knew Chaz knew she barely lived on food and was more likely to live on dessert. The next boy who was sorted was a Hufflepuff. "Can you at least try an be happy for the other houses. And do me a favour. Try smiling some more this year." Charlize mumbled to him. He was her best friend but he was such a pain at times.

Artimus shook his head at her, and started to eat some of the food that was on his plate. "They just have a look to them, have you ever seen a rosy cheeked, blonde curly haired chub in my house? No. Exactly! Their features are more harsh, more pointed." More powerful, but he didn't add that part on knowing that Chaz would end up having a go at him about it.
"I am happy for the other houses, they get the ones that I don't want. And smiling isn't really my forte if you haven't noticed." he wasn't much of a smiler, there would be very rare occasions on which he did.

At the word chub Charlize punched him in the arm. "Stop judging them. Don't you think they get that enough off of their peers without you joining in. And especially as a head of house. You are a bad person Moose, I hope you know that." At his comment about smiling Chaz gave him a grin, "Just try it. You scare people off with the fact you constantly glare. No one wants to deal with you, apart from me."

Artimus rubbed his arm where Chaz had punched, in mock hurt. "Oh come on, everyone judges everyone, it's not something that you can stop, some people just tend to make it more... obvious is all. And why should I be honest?"
Artimus rolled his eyes. "I'm so sorry for being such a burden to you. I don't scare people off, they just judge me!" Artimus said with a wicked grin on his fave.
Another student came up, another Ravenclaw, Slytherin hadn't even had a single person.

"Yes I know people judge others but you have made it a hobby. You are meant to be unbiased as a professor. No pre judgments." Charlize reminded him. Sometimes she wondered how he had even managed to get as much authority as he did. "Moose. I have known you for years now. I am not judging you. I know you. When you are in creepy frown anger mode you are scary." She had received a few of his death glares and was glad that she wasn't constantly on the end of them.

"I'm only human, we all make little errors. Some of them are just life long ones that you can't ever shake off. And I'm fine with that, I'm not complaining at all." There were some habits he knew he was never going to shake off, but that was possibly just because he actually enjoyed the,. "Fine, I'll try this whole... smiling thing.." Though he wasn;t too pleased about it at all.
Yet another student came up, but Arti didn't get a chance to look at this onces face as it was already sat upon the chair with the hat on its head. It yelled out Slytherin. Atrimus got up from his chair and started to clap, knocking down a goblet of pumpkin juice on his way. [/blockquote] |

"You need to try an shake that off. It's not good." Chariize scolded him. Arti was right. They all had faults but she didn't want him getting into trouble with the students or the staff. She also knew that perhaps it was his Slytherin nature that meant he couldn't care less about what others thought of him. When he said he would try the smiling Charlize replied, "That's all I'm asking."
The hat had shouted Slytherin and Arti had gotten to his feet. The table had been knocked sending things wobbling but successfully toppling over a goblet of pumpkin juice which Cha tried to save by reaching over the table. "Sit down!" she hissed going red in the face and some students and staff looked at them. They were two of the youngest professors and she didn't want people thinking that they were an easy target.
