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?"
Camilla couldn't hide her laugh just then.
"Well I must say it's not always easy. There are a few names that are always a bit tougher to remember than others. What really helps is when students usually sit in the same seats during lessons, you get to know the name and face much quicker." At least it helped her that way.
"I certainly hope not!," she exclaimed smiling at Maddie.
"I might very well end up lost myself and require the help of someone to come find me." She was teasing of course. If this place had that many rooms surely they would all be doomed!
"Is that so? Well here we like getting to know our students. It makes for a more happy and relaxed environment. It would be very sad if we didn't know our students well... especially since we all spend so much time together here in the castle." This was another reason Cami was doing her best to spend more time outside of her office whenever possible. She really did enjoy interacting with the students.
Wizard Skittles? Now that was a game she hadn't heard of in quite some time.
"I actually do. It's been many years since I've played this game but let's see if I can remember the rules correctly, shall we?" She pulled out a chair at the small table nodding at the other seat for Maddie to join her.
"If I recall correctly you need to knock down as many skittles as you can."
