Liam Wallox sat back in his chair, a smile tugging at his lips as he listened to the conversations unfolding around the table. It was a lively mix of laughter, curiosity, and shared stories—exactly the kind of camaraderie he enjoyed. He leaned forward, subtly nodding along with Miles Kennedy’s joke about ghosts and court cases.

“Court cases between ghosts? That would be something,” Liam chimed in softly, appreciating the lightheartedness of it all. He could imagine the kinds of absurdities that might occur—spirits arguing over ancient debts or hauntings gone wrong. He didn't need this considering he just created the first ghost who could likely claim unemployment. 

As the conversation shifted to the mention of a Weasley, Liam chuckled. “Red hair certainly carries a reputation around here,” he said, adding to the banter. “Always keeps things interesting.”

When the talk turned to bar hopping and muggles, Liam's face brightened. "Bar hopping, Antonio? That's something I know a bit about. No actual magic involved save for the potions created behind the bar."

He listened closely when Tænar spoke of her dragon collection, smiling at her excitement over the new scale and shell. He admired people with passion for their work, and it was clear she had it in abundance. Dragons, though… Liam shook his head lightly in wonder. He could barely imagine the thrill of seeing one up close, let alone collecting scales.

Liam sipped his drink as Kai brought up Tænar’s book. “Well, color me impressed. A published author in our midst. Seems like we’ve got quite a talented bunch here.” His eyes twinkled with genuine warmth as he glanced around the table, happy to be part of the Hogwarts staff and their shared stories.

Soon enough another joined their table and Liam saw that it was Seraphima a Ravenclaw a few years behind him; however he was on more friendly terms with her brother. He gave her a wave as she sat down and continued to listen as some of the food quickly disappeared into everyone's stomachs.

[color=fff200]"Anyone heard who the new headmaster is going to be? Seems even the Ministry has been able to keep it mum. Rumor was the head of the Aurors but she was just quoted as saying she wanted nothing to do with the position? Think it's a bluff?" [/color]
