She was here to get everything ready for the new year. The pictures on the wall greeted her warmly, welcoming her back for another year. She smiled and nodded at them. The hall was looking as plain as it ever did. However, a swift hand movement changed all that in an instant.<br/><br/>The tablecloths on the three rows of tables suddenly changed colors to match the colors of their respective mansions. Candles became lit along each table, flowers magically bloomed in vases along the length of the tables, and crystal glasses were filled with water. Various wines were present on each table as well, however the bottles were enchanted so nobody under the age of eighteen could even touch them. Annabelle smiled. An enchantment she had made up herself. Even if an older student tried to pour wine into the glass of a younger student, it would change to water the instant it hit the glass.<br/><br/>The table at the head of the hall, which was for the staff, was beautifully decorated. Vases full of flowers magically appeared, and the back wall became covered with ivy vines with lush green leaves lining them. Gorgeous white flowers bloomed on the vines, and gave off a sweet smelling aroma.<br/><br/>Annabelle looked up to the ceiling and waved her hand again. The appearance of the rafters changed and shifted to appear as the night sky. A huge beautiful full moon hung overhead, and stars twinkled around it as if they were winking. Finally, Annabelle waved her hand once more. Countless butterflies danced around the room, but stayed just out of reach of even the tallest student.<br/><br/>A smile graced her lips as she took her place at the glass podium in front of the staff table. She knew this would be a great year, and hoped her students felt the same. Standing there looking like she had stepped out of a painting, Annabelle waited for the students to enter through the huge doors of the Grand Hall.
