Default sorry if Emmy seems rude she's bad with words at times.

What was that? Emmylou was pretty sure that this professor just corrected her rudely but that could just be the way the third year had heard it so she was sure that she was partly wrong. Emmylou blinked and thought her words out correctly before speaking to her professor.

The blonde nodded to her. "I'm sure that is the way you greet an adult here in Europe but I haven't really spent that much time over seas besides going to Beauxbatons for two years. I will keep that in mind when I'm greeting the other professors as well." Emmy smiled a bit and tried to let the greeting sink in her head so she didn't mix anything up or go to her old habits. Emmylou sure hoped that helped the professor understand what she was trying to say. "Please excuse me for saying this but where I was born and raised the correct term for greeting someone, adult or not is hey y'all, hi, hey or hello. I use hello because out of those four it is the most formal." Emmylou had hoped that she didn't sound rude because she wasn't trying to sound that way at all and she was never rude to anyone. She treated everyone the way they would like to be treated which was something that her father had taught her. "I'm sure that is the way you greet an adult her in Europe but I haven't really spent that much time over seas besides going to Beauxbatons for two years." Emmylou sure hoped that helped the professor understand what she was trying to say.

Wait. Emmylou didn't know if she was welcomed or not. Now she was totally and utterly confused by this lady. It seemed like the lady wanted her here but it also seemed like she wanted to kick the newly sorted Gryffindor out of her space. Honestly she really didn't know how to respond. "Errr...I'm not sure, I mean I have so many questions about this school but I don't know what I want to know more." There was one way of saying it, just one too many words.
