Rae was SURE she had this in the bag. Feeling almost as confident and smug as Fletcher, her ears suddenly had a hard time hearing as this guy spoke. What was that? It was something other than a yes, but she couldn't quite figure out what it was. Rae finally caught the last word. NO.

ERRGHHHH. This guy definitely wasn't on Rae's 'fun person' list. (Not that she had one.)
Her insides wanted to argue, but that would get her nowhere right now. Time to act like she wasn't a Slytherin, and she held her tongue. "Yes sir, I will see you again later then.." Great, it was easier to get permission from Lafay than whoever he was, hopefully she could leave now..
