It took all of Helga's strength of control to pull herself from the kitchens and slip into her private room in the back and get ready for the arrival of the school's first years students. She was exhausted but a worthy one, wanting to make sure the coming opening feast was nothing less than perfect and the herbology gardens outside were prepared for their first lessons. After all the work everyone had put in to this school, it just had to kick start on a good note.
She washed her face to help perk up her tired state then changed into an enchanted dress of varying shades of yellow and red, the bright shifting colors enough to make any tree decorated in fall colored leaves jealous and did a quick touch up of her hair, lightly braiding then pinning up her reddish brown hair up onto the back of her head and out of her face. Helga gave herself a once over once she was ready, making an adjustment or two before giving her reflection a small nod and picked up her wand. She tucked it away into one of the side pockets as she left her room.
Helga felt a little odd as she made her way to the front entrance, like she was missing something but she just chalked it up to not wearing her apron right now. She had been wearing it nonstop since yesterday morning so not feeling its familiar weight though light was a little odd. Well, she couldn't wear it all the time she reminded herself, sometimes the occasion called for it to be gone and the feeling would only last a moment before it was forgotten when she focused more on the current moment.
As she stepped outside, Helga took note of Rowena and Salazar already waiting by the main gates but no sight of Godric. Well, once again she wasn't the last to arrive but she was a bit on the tardy side. This time though she didn't have any snacks to help her case so hopefully the pair weren't too feather ruffled at her for the delay.
When she got a little closer, she could hear the tail end of their conversation and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow curiously. "Whos cursing who now?" she asked as she approached and glanced between the two. What conversation had she just walked up on Helga wondered. First it was something about curing, then a delivery with a discount, then the coming students. Either she had walked in at an odd time or her tired mind was jumbling things up again. Guess it was a good thing it never did that with her recipes, that would be a real disaster to have her cooking in the kitchen in a tired state indeed.
