How are you this afternoon?" she had come to start using the students first names outside the classroom. It had been an adjustment having only used their last names but she had found that it helped bring everyone onto the same level. Being comfortable with a student helped the students to be comfortable with her as well.
The young girls exclamation of surprise made her laugh softly to herself. "It's an arcade area," she replied smiling. One could have guessed that on their own but the girl had asked so she had answered. "Sure we can. How about we play a game? You can pick anyone you like."
Camilla moved fully into the room letting Maddie slip past her to check things out.
Maddie returned the professor's smile.
"It still amazes me how you professors know everybody's names! I've been here almost a whole half of a school year, and I don't think I'm ever going to memorize everybody's names!" she said with a laugh. Oh, she'd also forgotten to answer the question that she was asked in the first place.
"I'm doing pretty good! I'm exploring the castle. There must be four zillion, six billion, nine million, two thousand, four hundred and TWO rooms in this place!" She didn't think she'd ever see them all, even when she was halfway through her very last year here.
The professor wanted to play a game with her?
"That's awesome! At my old school, we weren't allowed to hang out with the professors," she said. It was so cool that the professors wanted to hang out with the students here at Hogwarts!
"What's Wizard Skittles?" she asked.
"I want to play that one!" She just liked the sound of it, so that was the one she wanted to play first.
"Do you know how to play this one?"
