She seemed nice enough, and willing enough, but it was always the nice ones you had to watch out for - he was sure he'd heard that somewhere before, PERHAPS he even read it. "Well see.... I was wondering, how do you sleep at night?" Always a good place to start, and he didn't mean 'in a bed'. "What sorts of experiments do you do? Do WE do? How many subjects are involved? Do they have their memories altered at the end? Are they all alive or are some of them dead? How does it work? Or do they get stuck in the Janus Thickey ward after it all?"

Did she get all that? Did he need to state them all again? Write them down for her? Zeke sat still, his palms flat against his thighs. This Muggle Studies business was DOING HIS HEAD IN. "Cause, so you know... I don't really agree with it, but I want good grades in everything."

Well at least he still had manners even if he DIDN'T want her candy. But then before she even really had a chance to take in his full appearance, he started in with the questions. So yes he HAD said he had questions, as in more than one, but the last thing Hadley expected was a rapid-fire succession of them.

But by the time he got to the second question, she had picked up her quill and jotted keywords of his topics down: sleep, experiments, subjects involved, memories, good grades, ... was that it?

Patient Badger though she was, she smiled sweetly at the first year as she waited for his mouth to stop moving before she began. "My sleep, like everyone with regular sleeping patterns, is characterized by altered consciousness, a relatively inhibited sensory activity, and the inhibition of all voluntary muscles. So it is complete muscle relaxation. You are generally not aware of your surroundings." He did want the science basis for sleep, didn't he? Judging from his questions. "As for experiments, this isn't Muggle Science or Psychology, Mr Rogers ... Zeke. This is Muggle Studies. We don't have test subjects like that. We don't modify memories. We just learn about the home and social habits of muggles. We don't rip apart a muggle's brain, but rather just learn how they do things. How what they do, is not so different from us."

"So if you want good grades in this class, well, just be present and engaged." There wasn't really much more than she asked then just being present. "Did I miss anything?"

When he got to the Head of House's office, he knocked on the door, waiting for a response.

Finally a moment to breath. And Septimus was sleeping too, so it meant she could actually focus on getting her first lesson prepared before the toddler awoke. His starting to walk - toddle more like it - was nerve-wrecking because it meant she had to watch him more closely.

Writing fiercely, she glanced back at the sleeping baby and suddenly heard a knock. Strange. She wasn't expecting anyone and her students were supposed to all be in one of their other lessons at this hour. Perhaps it was a colleague or ..... no, she had no idea really who could be knocking.

Chewing on her lower lip, she flicked the door open and was astonished to find one of her fourth year hufflepuffs standing outside ... "Ah, Mr Tinker! Come in! Everything alright?" Probably not, if he was coming to see her when he was SUPPOSED to be in class.
