Simon looked at the Professor. "Sorry Professor." Simon said, he still thought that the man was scary. "Professor I'll come and see you in your office later." Simon smiled, he stood there wondering if he should go but decided against. "Professor, is he staring at my head?" Simon asked he had this feeling that the man was and he didn't like it. "Also when is the best time to come and see you?"
Renée continued to sense Simon's discomfort at Mr. gevrik's presence in the room, but while she wanted to help him get past his fear, she also wasn't about to alert the security advisor to anything. She wanted to try and figure him out first, even though she had a feeling she wouldn't be able to go about it through her usual means. Any of them, so she was going to continue to just be extremely careful around the man. But she could still speak to the little Hufflepuff, without saying anything untoward. "It's alright Simon, and I'll look forward to seeing you then," she replied with a smile, as he spoke. That was easy enough. But at his question she gave him another warning look, paired with the slightest of nods, before she addressed his subsequent question. "I'd suggest you not choose to visit me when you're supposed to be in another lesson, or after curfew, but other than that, any time is fine. If I'm not there, you can wait outside until I arrive," she responded, giving the boy another smile. That was why she'd tried to make the corridor outside her office fairly comfortable, at least.

"Accio," she whispered, and retrieved her notebook and quill from her bag, so Professor Bishop could write down the information in it. If she pleased, that is.
ooc: Unfortunately, I haven't been able to come up with a book title that agrees with me, and there's not really anything I can find in canon. So you might have to make up something on your own. :/

Turning her attention from Simon as she'd answered his questions, Renée smiled at Miss Kelley as she spoke enthusiastically, before giving her a wry grin as the insistence for the name of the book was continued. She had to give the Ravenclaw credit for trying not to react to Mr. Gevrik's appearance, as it as evidence of some level of focus. Something she had to think might be a bit due to the House the girl was in, but there were many other possibilities as well. "Of course," she replied with a nod. "However, if it happens Madam Donovan doesn't believe she has it, you're still welcome to visit me in my office." She imagined the school library still had just about every book, as it had had over a decade ago. She'd always meant to go back and look, partially out of personal interest. But as a notebook was summoned, she took it from Miss Kelley with another grin before scribbling a title down with a similar handwriting to what had been up on the chalkboard during class. "Was there anything else you wanted to speak to me about?," she asked then, returning the notebook to its owner carefully. Not stalling, exactly, as there were still other students in class. She simply didn't want to push the girl out.

It seems like my thoughts are hundreds of miles away. It's not an excuse, not at all. I should be sent straight to the detention hall where I could learn to focus but... I just... every time I think about Divination, I can't put out this thought from my head... it's quite silly but... don't you think that this incredible subject is limited for some people? Like... the passion for the subject might be in blood not brain? Like, for example - You were meant to be the master of Divination while most of others perhaps are meant to only explore this marvelous craft... not master it."
Waiting for the response from Miss Kelley, Renée turned as she heard another person approach, and sent the Slytherin girl from the back of class a smile. "That can happen, Miss Slytherin. Certain thoughts can simply grab hold of you and distract you from other things for a while. I would suggest you do try to learn focus, ways to push thoughts to the back of your mind until you have time to really contemplate them," she said with a slight nod. "But that is a good question, and I'm flattered to be considered a master at the subject," she continued with another smile. "In fact that is something that distracts many people. It seems certain people do have more of a . . . predilection for Divination, I'll say. That's not to say others can't manage to open themselves up to the subject, but they might in fact have a bit more struggle ahead." Ironically, as far as the conversation went, she felt she had more of a blood connection to another ability. She'd gotten rather adept at certain forms of Divination, however, as well. She wasn't about to say that to the students, though. Not when she already felt an uphill climb ahead. She hoped that had answered the question, however.
