Professor Robin Hart stared intently at the page of the notebook in front of him, idly twisting at the feather of his quill pen as he contemplated the schematics he was working on for an electromechanical device he was hoping would channel a spell through multiple wands at once by way physically connecting them all to the wizard while synchronizing their movements.  He was hoping to have it functional soon, as it was to play a key role in making a point about the potential usefulness of muggle technology early on in the curriculum he was developing.  Suddenly, an idea for maintaining a magical connection between the wizard and wands popped into his head, and he began frantically scribbling notes and formulas into his notebook.<br/><br/>He was suddenly jostled from his reverie as Professor Edgar brushed lightly against him as he stood to leave.  Startled by the movement, Professor Hart glanced around the table and seemed surprised to notice the feast was in progress.  He glanced down the table to the center seat where the new Headmistress was seated.<br/><br/>"Pardon me, Professor McGonagall, but isn't it customary to introduce the staff and do the sorting before the feast begins?" he asked, seeming confused.
