Riley made his way from the long bench at the Gryffindor House Table and walked up the dias to were the Staff of Hogwarts were sitting. He turned around to look back at the rest of the student body from there and it was actually a rather nerve-wracking position to be sitting out there in the open like that.

But shifting from foot to foot he made his way over to where the Arithmancy Professor was sitting, his heart skipping a beat every so often. He had a crush on her ok? He couldn't do anything about it and he certainly didn't expect anything in return but who said he couldn't still call her his favorite teacher?

He finally reached her section of the table and stood in front of her forgetting how to talk for a second and about the small gift he had wrapped for her. Just standing there.
