There was no doing studies and getting pending results because it had already been done and for the most part required reading.

It wasn't to say that Jessa disliked reading but rather that she found learning harder when it was solely through a textbook. Leisure reading was amazing, but too much academic reading without a practical outlet had a way of doing her head in.

"Hello Professor." The young girl greeted politely enough. She moved over to the refreshments, grabbing herself a cup of hot chocolate and a rice crispy. Jessa then took her seat and sunk into it.

No, she wasn't looking forward to this lesson, but the hot chocolate certainly helped.

Also, "Hi Levi." Because Althea said she'd talk to him for her, which obviously meant it was officially okay to greet him herself too.

Oh wait. Professor.

"Good day, Professor, " she said sweetly as before swiftly turning and making her way to her housemate. She didn't yet utter a word to him. Currently she was digging through her bag for her quill and parchment. ...and trying to ignore the fact that he had taken DRINK FROM A PROFESSOR.

It made her eye twitch involuntarily. But, with great effort, she kept it in. No need to repeat that particular class last term.

Ugh.

Once she had finally settled back, the blonde girl crossed her hands on top of her desk and smiled over at Levi. "Hey. How's it goin? "

BOOM! NAILED THE CASUAL GREETING. Also don't look at the twitchy eye.

And there was the Ravenclaw that seemed to recoil at her very presence. Jessa. How odd. WHATEVER COULD DORA HAVE DONE TO make her feel... whatever she had felt about her? CURIOUS. But the Gryffindor covered her twitchy eye with one hand before waving with the other. A smile was even offered. "And you, Jessa... how are you? " Not abrasive.

Weird, but not abrasive.

By the time classmates started pouring in, Levi had finished his first helping of hot chocolate and had gone for the second. Jessa Cambridge greeted him more or less at the same time he took over his desk once more. Because Levi was busy setting his hot coco down and retrieving his journal and self-inking quill from his messenger back, the Ravenclaw received a very distracted, "Hi, Jessa." Catching himself a few seconds later, he actually turned and shot the girl a smile. Levi did not make a business of spending copious amounts of time memorizing the names of younger students, but Jessa's energy and class participation weren't easy to miss.

And she wasn't even really that young anyway.

He went back to his hot coco, or rather intended to, but then Dora showed up and common courtesy dictated he had to acknowledge her in the same manner he'd acknowledged Jessa. Or maybe more because he was actually friends with Dora. Even if the hot coco was calling his name. "Hi." Smile. "I'm great. You?"

Levi would have gone on unaware of whatever turmoil Dora may or may not have gone through had it not been for the fact that his was, strangely enough, covering one of her eyes. "Is it... Pirate Day today, Dora?" Or was this just her thing with food like last term in Charms? Levi looked down at his hot coco then at Pirate Dora and shrugged.

Anyway.

There was Tenacius. He got a wave and a smile.

Now, back to the hot coco.
