How generous of the young man (Zeke). M'hm. She totally bought that. Not really. At least he wasn't rude about it or making sulky faces. She appreciated that.

Naturally Astrid wasn't used to silence, not even the soft sound of quills writing on parchment being the only sound in the background. It was too quiet. But this was a one time thing. How was she to get to know them ALL at least just a little bit? This was a way to get the ball rolling.

Someone sounded in distress. Her eyes scanned the room, landing on the young lioness. Oh? There was a test? "Do not fret, this is not a test. It's just a simple activity. Remember to raise your hand," she said, smiling a small kind smile. No need to interrupt her classmates while they were obviously concentrating.

A great example of raising hands right there. It was a great question, too. She was sure they were all wondering why the funny rules. Why not? "Excellent question, thanks for bringing it up." Brave one, that one. "What is your guess as to why that is a rule, the tie exchange?" She lifted her tie, and grinned a little. "As you can see I have a Ravenclaw tie, and seeing as I am a former Gryffindor it means I have traded as well." And you didn't see her sulking about it. Really, what was wrong with that? It was just an activity, not the end of the world. "It's a great way to interact with your peers, new or familiar, on the first day of class." Would they rather do the old 'stand up and present yourself?' No. That was overly used and boring. Maybe these kids liked boring.

Now. It was time for them to concentrate. They had a few minutes left.

When the ten minutes were over, Astrid waited a bit longer as quills still moved across parchments. After that little moment was done, she returned to her post in front of the desk. "Excellent! You'll be turning those in after the lesson is over." She was quite excited to read them all.

"Moving on, we will begin the term with a charm that is designed to slow or stop a falling object." Her eyes roamed around the classroom, making eye contact, confident the older students knew what charm she was referring to. "What is this specific charm, what do you know about it?" She glanced around, meeting the gaze of a few young ones. Astrid was also confident the question would be answered in a timely manner so first years, or anyone who didn't know this charm, could answer the next question. "How can we use such charm in extreme situations, as well as in our daily lives?"

If it's not for lesson's purpose, she didn't want to. She's TRULY Gryffindor and not to mention that she's the only Burton that became a Gryffindor. Not to wait for a long time, the lesson had started. The brunette lioness need to write down the Professor's name so she wouldn't just refer her as 'Charms lady' or worse, 'Professor with pretty hazel-eyes.' And... did she just ask them to write something about charms? OH NO! This was a test, wasn't it? AND SHE HADN'T STUDY BEFORE SO IT'S A DISASTER! "Professor! Why don't you notify us before that you're gonna throw a test before class? I haven't studied yet." What if she got a bad grades and then the Professor would gonna send the result to their parents? Ava Burton would gonna be in a serious trouble with her Russian mother. But well... Let's try first. Done, just that Someone sounded in distress.
