Okay... so Dora still judged this man. Harshly, perhaps, but let's face it... he was no Sabel Dakest. Hmph. The Gryffindor
did have manners, though. "
Hello, Professor... and guest. " She had no clue who this guy was... and didn't intend to stand around ogling him or the
professor.
SPOILER!!: We claim Paige!

Not to mention the requirement to actually attack others and want to do so. Under proper circumstances, naturally, she could accomplish this. Push any honey badger too far and BOOM, explosions would happen, but it was rather difficult to push this particular badger that far in a classroom setting.
Although perhaps some changes that had been occurring within her since summer would finally come to fruition this term. This lesson? The latter was left to be seen.
"Good day, professor," she chirped nervously as she walked by, also offering their visitor - who some seemed familiar with - a polite smile before finding her seat...and clay? Blue eyes flying to the board and finally reading the instructions there, Paige couldn't help but feel even more apprehensive. Mold a creature or being? They weren't going to animate these and then battle...were they?
Thankfully for her, or perhaps unfortunately if this turned her against her pastime, her mind wandered to flowers and began with a small piece to roll out to make the stem and a couple more pieces to smash and spread out to make the leaves. She would...figure out what sort of flower to make later.
Oh but HEY there was Paige. Surely she could use a Gryffindor in Defence, right?! Who wouldn't want a Gryffindor anytime?! Making her way over, Dora plopped down next to her, smile on her face. "
Hey! Hope you don't mind if I sit with you, " she said as she made herself comfy.
