 be curious, not judgmental
So... despite the mandatory lesson with the headmistress, Sophie did not feel the need to be constantly vigilant. The incident with the Slytherin kid was a horrible, tragic accident that could have been prevented, yes, but... it wasn't like the danger had sought the boy out and left the forest and got him right on the grounds. No, the boy was the one who had been foolish, and this particular Ravenclaw didn't see dangers inside the school. At least... not right now. No, today she was just going to a very early Runes class and was going to focus and work on sufficient OWL preparation...
...Except there was no kind old grandfatherly figure standing at the door to greet her. Sophie peeked her head inside the classroom curiously, only to find that the man in question was sitting at his desk. Perhaps that should have been a little suspicious... but, no, Sophie didn't think this was something to be vigilant about - she gathered this was a reflection upon the tragedy that had struck the school. So, with a weak smile on her face, the fifth year took her seat next to Tobes and greeted the professor gently, "Hello, professor," and proceeded to set out her materials for class. Tobes got a reassuring smile, too, then she let her gaze drift out the window.
Ohhh, how she wished they could have class outside for the day's lesson.
