It FINALLY occurred to Emmeline that Abey must be on the other end of the Extendable Ears. Plus, she sort of heard his voice a little through the line. Grinning at Derf, she tried to call back quietly: "Hiii!" For Abey, obviously.

Emmeline returned Jessa's smile, though she did notice the third year was a lot more attentive than usual to the professor today. That was cool, that's what they were supposed to be doing. In fact, Jessa's behavior encouraged Emmeline to pay more attention to Professor Stewart once she started speaking. They were doing stuff with smoke? That could be super fun! She smirked in a secretive way, because she was thinking that James would regret skipping this lesson unless he showed up late. He would LOVE these fire pit things.

But back to smoke, right. Raising her hand, she answered: "It's really easy to choke on smoke, Professor." She paused in confusion, because now that she thought about it..."Is this magic smoke, Professor? Shouldn't there be A LOT more smoke in here?"
