But when she heard her name, she'd snapped out of her thoughts and turned her attention to Ira. "Oh yes absolutely, this ought to be fun," she replied smiling, awkwardly getting out of her beanbag to actually join Ira and form the partnership.
"Whatever it is we'll be doing... let's take everyone down yeah?" she asked holding up her hand for a high-five.
Chewing on her bottom lip a little, Ira looked on and smiled as Professor Bentley came over and agreed to be partners. It wouldn't be too hard apiring and playing a game with a professor as your partner, right? Ira hoped not.
"
Yeah!" she replied excitedly but hesitantly.. "
I hope we can!"
And it really was time to tell Professor that Ira was as far as could be from all this acting stuff. But she sure could try. And reading stuff too. So actually, she wasn't even fit to be present for a book club meeting. Actually, her parents would not even believe that she had joined a book club!
Anyways, back o the present. She excitedly gave a highfive to Bentley.
But it sure was awkward, at least for Ira. A high five between a student and teacher? No.. Ira was just a slight bit uncomfortable. "Cause she almost had a fear of teachers, back from her muggle school days itself! But it was reducing in Hogwarts for sure!
