And what would you know, he also helped himself to a mint! "Hello Prefect Lockhart," she smiled, taking a mint for herself and popping it into her mouth. "Off to a slow start actually, but no too shabby. How about you? I trust you're adjusting to your new responsibilities? No major problems with Hufflepuff first years, right?" She wasn't their Head of House, but that didn't mean she couldn't give them a good scolding if necessary.
Professor Hadley was in a very good mood, perhaps that wasn't going to help. Yes, because they seemed to disagree whenever both of them had had an uneasy day.
Well, he was already here, and enjoying a little mint. Except, he almost choke when she called him 'Prefect'. He was still not used to that. So, the fifth year cleared his throat and nodded,
"Great, better than the last one," he said, and that was true, except for the little incident by the Ravenclaw table, but yeah, compared to last year, this was like Christmas.
Oh. THE FIRSTIES! He had no idea where they were or how they were doing! Thanks Hadley, for making us remember that. Sigh.
"I think I'm adjusting well," he said, trying to smile a little, but it was perfectly clear that he forgot he was a Prefect this morning.
And then more arrived. It was amusing that she asked them to wait if THEY wanted a private audience, while she didn't bother to ask him the same.
He didn't mind, though. It's not like he was planning to take Lord Borr out of the Wizarding Community or anything of the sorts. If there was something he was planning was his future.
The boy nodded at the ones on the doorway and smiled at the Hufflepuff one. A boy, first year, whom he failed to see at the feast, and who'd failed to see in the corridor towards the office. Great job, Lockhart.
"Actually, Professor," he started to say, eyes going from Oakey to Hadley,
"You seem like a very bright person...and...I wanted to discuss some part of my future with you, if that's alright." Yes, everyone went to their Head of House, but he was getting answers from every single person he could before going up to the Hospital Wing. He didn't want the pretty Healer to know he had no idea what to do with his life.
