♊ first star. ( voice; video. )
[Backdated to Tuesday, when it is still sunshine-y.
The video swings about across the snow covered grounds. There's some bright, lensflare-esque sunshine happening for a second before the angle adjusts again. There's a shot of really fabulous boots, and it slowly tips up: fabulous coat, check. A flash of blonde hair. There is a moment of humming -- it's pleasant, cheery humming. The person on the other end then clears their throat, and chuckles.
The voice that follows is high-class and smooth.] My, it's been quite a while, hasn't it? A year away from this place and one begins to forget the way it looks. [There's a fond sigh, and finally the video reveals the speaker's face. She is pretty. And grinning. Sunglasses? Check!] Home sweet home, as they say. I've missed it.
Now, I'm sure you lot missed me, and I am deeply sorry that you have been denied the pleasure of my company, [She laughs in a good-natured way, to let it be known that she is joking. Mostly.] but Mum thought it'd be a good idea for me to expand my horizons, so to speak. And Beauxbatons was certainly...a learning experience, I must say. [a pause here. She's reminiscing...]
Ah, but I am going off on a tangent, aren't I? Fellow students, professors, my name is Zahra Aurigae and it is my utmost pleasure to meet you. I'm sure we will all get along, yes? If we've met: I'm looking forward to seeing you again. If not, well. I look forward to meeting you~ You all simply must bring me up to date on what's been going on. Jokes aside, I've heard some upsetting things. [a beat, her tone sobers, as does her expression.] I hope everyone has been doing all right.
[And then she brightens up again.]
Now! Which one of you big, strong boys wants to help me carry my luggage to my dormitory? [She nudges a heavy looking trunk with the toe of her boot.] I wouldn't be opposed to a girl helping out as well. [She smirks.] Equal opportunity and all that.
