Selina paled a little when Lafay addressed her. There was something about the woman that reduced Selina to a scared little first year whenever they had to converse. Maybe it was the whole fear that Selina had of the subject that the woman taught or maybe it was just that Lafay was bloody terrifying. It also did not help Selina's case that day because Lafay seemed to be in a very short mood. So all she did was nod her head to her Professor's acknowledgment and then sat down at her desk in a lax manner.

She shot up in her seat in fear when she heard someone address her, but when she noticed the familiar voice Selina smiled broadly at her best friend. Poor Kurumi had been subjected as of late to helping Selina with her potions OWL studying. The redhead had told her best friend on numerous accounts that it was hopeless, but she was determined. So when she said that she needed a break from potion testing Selina chuckled and leaned into her best friend, "Deal. I'm surprised you're not in the hospital wing yet from all my failed attempts."

But then she heard a voice that made her sit up in her seat and wipe the smile off of her face. Even though Lafay wasn't directly addressing Selina when she spoke to Kurumi it was a comment that invoked both girls. She sat quietly as Kurumi explained that she had been helping Selina study. Offering up to help her best friend she said, "Yeah Professor. And she's been amazingly helpful with the preparation."

She remained quiet after that as Lafay began the lesson. When she asked if they had any questions she was tempted to raise her hand and ask if she could flee to save herself from embarrassment. But she realized that was probably not the most rational of tactics... So she stayed silent.
