So far, most of the classes Ashley had thought he wouldn't like, he'd turned out to be pretty okay with, and so he'd decided not to go to class with any expectations. Instead, he just had a hopeful optimism that he would do well and not mess up.
Making his way to the proper area, he arrived quickly, thankfully not getting lost on the way. He was really starting to figure out how to get around, which was good. People probably didn't like to be stalked, accidentally or otherwise, and so he was going to have to find a good way to get himself to classes sooner or later anyway.
As they were supposed to bring their pets, he brought the only one he had, his black owl, which sat on his head, probably solely because it knew he hated that. But he was used to it, so he and the headowl just went on to find a beanbag to sit on, giving the professor a smile as he passed by. "Hello, professor," he said politely before taking his seat.
