A task he was juuust getting started with as he heard a knock on the door.

Shame really. Now he was going to practice names some other time. Not his fault. There was obviously a student or staff that required his attention. Students always came before boring studies. Heh.

Haraldur opened the door to spot one of the smaller children. Well, they were all tiny even the graduates but this one was one of the small ones. Or semi-small. ~~CUTE~~ "OH. Well hello there, child."

Had someone sneaked into the forbidden forest? Fallen off the wooden bridge? Broken into the broomshed?

"What can I do for you Miss..." Nope. Didn't know the name. "Ahem. Come in, come in." The old man flicked one of his feathers on his head to make it stand straight before taking a step back so she could step by him inside the hut. He'd had a weird ringing in his ear ever since flying through a hail storm a few weeks back so hopefully this little one could speak up. And preferrably articulate.

When he opened the door to greet her, Skylar was taken aback by his appearance. Although she'd seen him before, up close as she was right now, he appeared much older (and larger) than she had taken notice of at the feast. Then again, he had been sitting down, behind a table. Hidden by fur.

Also, he just called her child. Sure he wasn't responsible for knowing all the student's names, as were her other professors, but it was still strange being called 'child', even if she technically was one. It seemed rather derogatory and definitely discombobulated her for a moment.

"Miss Diggory." She said, when she finally regained full awareness. "Skylar Diggory is the name." Also, did he always have feathers on his head? Because she kind of wanted one. A feather in hair would look cute, the fourth year decided. And he seemed to be waiting for why she was here, which ... well, why WAS she here? Chewing on her lower lip, she tucked some stray hair behind her ears. "I just wanted to say hello. See how you were liking these grounds... they seem different from where you're from, yes?" she was referring, of course, to his outfit.
