As soon as Milton walked in the classroom door, he noticed something was off. It seemed very quiet and... glum. He looked at Lafay and saw that she seemed rather frail. She didn't look like that last year, did she? Some students seemed like they knew something though. It was quite possible, that he was out of the loop...

"Hello, professor," he greeted pleasantly with a nod. Because last year, he got in trouble for not saying hello to her. He learned something, oddly enough.

His eyes flickered around the classroom for an empty seat. They lingered on a certain Gryffindor girl for a moment too long before he finally looked away and clumsily took a seat on the opposite side of the room.
