The Professor took his hand and shook it. Aha! So people still did that around here. Or perhaps only the Professors did that and a couple of students here and there. He had tried to outstretch his hand towards some in a gesture for a handshake and they just high-fived it. Simon spent five minutes staring at his hand, wondering what the person did meant. People could be weird at times.

But anyway, Simon was getting distracted.

He nodded his head, listening to his Potions Professor explain that he was great. Simon felt his cheeks twinge a very light shade of pink when the Professor said that he didn't meet such charming young Snakes any day. Oh gee thanks, sir. He smiled. Should he thank him for that or just keep going? Simon didn't know what he did so he just answered his question. "I'm good. I was recalling some research I did the other day on human memory and how potions and charms affect it differently." Yes, he'd stayed up many nights researching that topic. It was very important to him because he wanted to know if it was possible to improve the human memory. He needed to help someone he loved.
