She came a little bit closer to his desk and placed the basket of muggle and wizard candies on his desk.
"I just wanted to stop in and give you a little basket of goodies to thank you for giving me the position here. So far everything is just great! Thank you for asking." she paused and then continued...she tried not to talk quickly since she knew he had others to see. "Also, I wanted to apologize for not making the greatest first impression at the feast, but I can guarantee that you won't be disappointed." she said with a smile and another small nod.
Knowing that she was probably already wearing out her welcome, she said, "And I know you are busy man, so I'll be heading off. I need to go visit one of the Heads of Houses at some point." she said holding her hand out to shake his, "Thank you and would you like me to send up the next student?"
Yes it was an awkward and fast visit but she knew she didn't want to be known as the annoying new teacher. Her timing was all wrong again and she could tell.
Tate examined the basket for a long moment and tried to collect his thoughts. It was true they'd started badly, especially as she'd put her foot deep into her own mouth within a few minutes and he'd gotten up on his soapbox to lecture her on it. Not good behavior for anyone by any stretch of the imagination.
So in spite of the fact that there was a line, and in spite of the fact that he wanted to dismiss her for a frivolous interruption, Tate pointed at the chair across from his desk.
"Sit."
