Transfiguration. HORRIBLE subject. Ryden wasn't a fan. And after last term's professor she was sure that only nutters taught it as well. Although this lady didn't QUITE seem like a nutter, so perhaps that would change.

Either way it was a terrible terrible subject.

Nodding to the professor as she arrived, the blonde made a beeline for the back row, sitting down directly behind the Ravenclaw Quidditch captain. Oh, yes, she knew who she was. Ryden had actually thought of joining the team this year, but the sheer amount of people signing up for the tryouts meant that her chances of getting in where smaller. And the fifth year would not go try out if she knew that there was a chance she wouldn't get in - how embarrassing would that be? Plus, by the time she'd made up her mind, the signing up period had already finished.

So yes, she knew the Quidditch captain.
