Steven followed the eyes of DJ and Laksha over to the bulbs representing House scores, chuckling merrily.  "Well, there goes one House out of the lead for the House Cup.  Rough start for whichever student triggered that loss."<br/><br/>Steven thought for a moment after DJ asked her question  "Let's see...seventeen years?  I didn't work with Professor Hall for that many of them, really.  My first job was in the Administrative Registration Department, an amazingly tedious job, and one that I do not recommend to anyone.  He had just been promoted up from the Animagus Registry, where he had completely thrown out the old system and created a new Registry from scratch.  He was my first boss.  The man loved paperwork, bet he still does."<br/><br/>As she walked out of the Great Hall, (a few other students having started to as well), she noticed Thomas Perkins heading down the hallway as well, carrying his broom.  He noticed her as well and smiled innocently.  "Hey Shylar."
