 be curious, not judgmental
It was a class that she didn't really need for any reason, but Sophie Brown was keeping it for her NEWTs just because it would probably be a fairly easy O grade for her. Realistically, she could've been using this time to spend even more valuable time on subjects that needed her attention more - like Runes, for example - but when it came down to it, History of Magic was worth it. Glendower was plenty nice and it helped that Sophie had spent her youth absorbing as much information on the history of the wizarding world as she could, so... she had a good foundation of knowledge for lots of the things the professor threw at them.
One thing that Sophie never liked, though, was the whole... make an entrance deal. It was already a challenge for Soph to get people to think she wasn't conceited, and the whole "making an entrance" thing would just encourage people to think she enjoyed the spotlight and she didn't want people rolling their eyes at her for basking in the attention, if she entered the way she wanted to. Before she became a prefect, she wouldn't have cared as much, but now that she was a leader... well... she had to strive to keep a positive reputation, didn't she?
So, rather than making a big entrance, Sophie simply entered the room, gave a polite salute in greeting to Glendower, and offered up a nice, "Hi, professor. Hope you're well," before taking a seat. That was all from her, and the sixth year kept to herself as she got out her materials for class.
Everything was totally fine.
