Art let the young man finish saying everything he had wanted to say, before realising he should probably introduce himself. "Art. Arthur. Well, er.. I suppose Professor Newton, actually. It's my first time teaching Potions, but I-I used to-to teach Chemistry at a muggle school." He scratched his face, just above the eyebrow. "Thank you for coming to welcome... uh... welcome me, that's uhhh v-very nice." He nodded and stretched a smile across his face.
The feast had been a debacle, but not necessarily because of the shenanigans that had happened with the food, and the throwing, and the mess, and the Professor's reactions. The old hag. She had done it for him. His lungs were still recovering from that wretched spray she had sprayed. He shook his head and let out a chuckle. "I... I don't think you need another person to-to-to uhh... to tell you off. Any of you. Not you, just... the general sense of the term you." Uhhh... right, focus. "I think Professor Flamsteed has-has spoken to you all? It... well," he chuckled again, "It wasn't your doing." Besides, it was surely something he would have found himself doing when he was a young lad at school, so he couldn't very well be mad at the young Gryffindors for doing it.
"OOH and... and your name?" he asked. He knew he was the Head Boy, member of Gryffindor.
Yoongi waited and watched as the Professor pulled out another mug and began making the tea. Out of all the hot beverages, tea was probably his favourite.
“Oh, nothing Sir. I don’t like sugar very much” he usually gave away his candy as well. He was probably the only teenager in the world who did that….
When he thanked him for welcoming him, the Head Boy waved his hand.
“It’s no problem, Professor Newton” he said. So far, the Professor seemed okay , maybe he could ask his question. But first he was distracted by the fact that this would be his first time teaching Potions.
“It is?” he asked with a surprised tone before he frowned.
“Wait, Chemistry….why do I know that…” He thought, trying to remember why it sounded so familiar. And then it hit him.
“Muggle magic fire!” he suddenly shouted, probably scaring the man but hopefully not.
“Sorry, I mean, I had a conversation with the Defence against the dark arts Professor last year about Chemistry ….” He frowned again as he thought , biting his lower lip as he tried to remember.
“Oh! Something about shyentist or something… Were you a shyentist at school?” he asked, mispronouncing the word scientist.
“Since you worked in a muggle school, does that mean you’re muggle born as well Sir?” he asked curiously. Or was he just fascinated by muggles?
As the topic of the feast began, Yoongi sighed loudly and nodded his head. He got the general sense of the term comment.
“He has, the Professor kept us Prefects up later than anyone else” Apparently he had been accused of threatening Blaise with a wand. Which was not true.
“And we had a meeting in the morning again but then with the whole House” he thought it had went well.
“My name?” Yoongi repeated.
“Oh right! I’m Yoongi Hyland, nice to meet you Sir” he beamed.
“If it’s no trouble, I was wondering if I could ask a question about Potions?....well it's more a request actually...”
