It was usual for new Staff members to be greeted with applause, but none of the Staff or Students clapped except Dumbledore and Hagrid. Both put their hands together and applauded, but the sound echoed dismally into the silence, and they stopped fairly quickly.

Alani just went back to reading, she didn't care about how he looked, he could be a troll and it wouldn't peak her interest.
