Behind the lake? The Gryffindor looked at him again and she frowned as she thought. She always had an expression able face and usually people could SEE her thinking. Which was horrible during classes though because it was also obvious to see when she wasn’t paying attention. However , right now she was because she wanted to explore the ground didn’t she? “I’ll check that out later, thanks!” she didn’t even know she could get BEHIND the lake. Always had thought that place was out of bounds.
She smiled as the Professor chose to sit next to her instead of walking further and she turned so she was facing him and then folded her legs so she was sitting indian style on the bench. “Well, I didn’t find anything interesting but I did find stuff out about the new Headmaster!” she grinned proudly. “Did you know he puts his RIGHT shoe on first?” she clapped her hands excitedly as if that was really important information. “Also, he told me he would be sorted in EVERY House but would choose Ravenclaw. Who wants to be a Ravenclaw though when you have the chance to be a Gryffindor?! Right?” ……………..Now that she thought about it, she didn’t even know which House this professor had been in. Ehm…she hoped not Ravenclaw. “I also found a weird mirror a few days ago on one of the floors. It was creepy yet cool, you know? And I still want to place my hand on the whomping willow just to see if I can do it, maybe I should do that soon?” her gaze went to look in the direction of where she thought the tree stood but in reality she looked in the complete opposite direction.
Oh boy, was he still mad about her mispronouncing his name? Chill man, it was a simple mistake, no harm intended. However, the accusing tone when he brought up a Hadley made her looked confused. “Hadley Denaker? Who’s that?” she genuinely did not know who she was. “Wait, she is a Ravenclaw right? I think I sat with her during Divination ones but I was too focused on a photograph of a transforming rose that Fiyero made for me so I didn’t really pay attention to her.” Shameless Truth.
ONLY A YEAR?! Bec gaped at him. “Wow, I thought you had been here longer” she commented. “Were you a student at Hogwarts as well?” please not Ravenclaw… “And of course I am! I want to get to know people so that means I have to ask questions, don’t i?” quietly observing people from afar was not her style plus it looked creepy. “I do! but i don’t own any animal right now but I really really REALLY want a lizard” she sighed deeply now. “But my dad is afraid of them and first years are only allowed a cat toad or owl to school, which is stupid by the way” she hmpf’d and crossed her arms. “I answered your question , Professor, now you answer mine, it’s only fair” because yes, she had noticed how he had avoided hers.
He already knew this one would take none of his advice to consideration. And no, he wasn’t hurt. She’d learn soon enough that he was right about everything. So it’d only be a matter of time before she started to follow the advice. It always went like this. There were no doubts.
It was easy to get her to smile though, which was a rarity among some students. See, James didn’t often have that effect. So it was a strange sight. The second thing he didn’t expect was what she had to say next. Dirt on the new headmaster? Do tell. James raised his brows, curious. He hadn’t had the opportunity to talk to the older man yet, and in all honesty… He didn’t want to. Guy seemed boring. More interesting than he let on, but still boring. But of course, it was a let down. Put his right shoe on first, what kind of information was that?! James deadpanned. Sorted into every house? That was ridiculous. You couldn’t be sorted into every house. He would’ve pointed this out, but it was probably best not to discredit the headmaster in front of a child.
And he did scoff slightly at Ravenclaw. Of course the old man would choose the most uninteresting house. ”Right,” though she was incredibly ridiculous, he had to agree. Gryffindor was the only suitable house. A mirror? ”Interesting,” not at all. He was really only half listening to her at this point. All her babbling. It was going to drive him i n s a n e. ”Yes, you—“ wait, what? It wasn’t until he paused and fully processed the sentence he had only slightly listened to before he realized what she had just said. ”That is a terrible idea. The womping willow is not a joke,” unless she wanted a death sentence, in which case… She ought to see the healer.
As he went to rub his temples, she began asking even MORE questions. He was starting to get a bloody headache. How wonderful. But she didn’t know who Denaker was? Well that was a good start. ”Yes,” to answer her questions. She is Ravenclaw… But the rest was unimportant and totally irrelevant. So he only pretended to listen.
And…. She was surprised he had only been teaching for a year prior to this term? Honestly, had he been teaching for longer his hair would’ve gone gray by now. So it shouldn’t be all that surprising. ”Gryffindor,” he nodded with a small hint of a grin. Was she impressed? And you ask a lot of them,” he didn’t answer that question though because he was pretty sure that one wasn’t meant to be answered. A lizard? Interesting. They were good animals. ”I don’t make the rules, kid,” he shrugged though he was thankful for that rule limiting pets. It would be madness if the students could bring whatever they wanted. He’d have to deal with trying to find room for all the random misfit creatures these students probably hoarded at home. Not something he wanted to deal with. Nope.
Alright, he’d give her that much. She had a point, and it was incredibly amusing. So he’d answer them. ”Someone fell asleep during one of my first lessons,” this was the funniest thing. ”So they had to jog in place for the rest of class to keep awake.” He smiled at the memory, thinking it was incredibly funny especially coupled with the disdain that came from that particular student. Did Meadows think it was funny too? Or were their senses of humor wildly different? ”As for question number two,” or really five billion if they were being honest here, ”I don’t have favorites.” Having favorites was ridiculous.
