With a heavy bag full of items for class, Eliza shuffled into the greenhouse, expecting to be one of the last ones there. That always seemed to happen to her with Herbology, but to her surprise there was only one other student in the greenhouse. Did I read the notice wrong? Aren't Herbology lessons always in the greenhouses? Maybe they changed that too this year...
Cautiously, she crossed the room and sat her bag on a table a little ways down from the other student. No need to sit right next to him, since she didn't know him, but she thought sitting too far away might make her seem rude - which she wasn't - so she sat at a happy medium distance and nodded with a crooked smile to the boy. Just pretend you know what you're doing. You're older than him after all. Yep, this was the right place and she totally meant to be here this early. Absolutely. By the way, where is Bentley?
