Ugggh.

Harriet had forgotten that her mother was going to be observing this lesson. She'd known of course. Vannie wouldn't have been able to come to Hogwarts without letting her daughter know. Hattie was just hoping that her mother didn't embarrass her. She did not need that at all. But it didn't mean she wasn't going to answer and stuff. Since she knew that would annoy her mother more. So she just tried to forget that her mother was here.

She made notes as the professor spoke, writing carefully so that she would be able to read them later. Hmm. She thought of an answer before raising her arm into the air. "Uh. Like you said, there must be some sort of addictive sort of quality in the fruit, which makes people keep wanting to eat them" Otherwise they'd just eat and move on. Which therefore made sense.

Vanessa smiled at Professor Myers. She knew he probably thought he had an advantage having a board member he knew well,
but Vannie wasn't about to go easy on him. "Yes. We're still on for that drink" She'd informed her husband she'd probably be late home tonight.
So they had all the time in the world. She observed around the classroom as she waited for the lesson to begin. It looked great. Paul certainly knew that he was doing. She was very impressed.

She did a little wave as he introduced her. She wasn't scary. And surely they would all figure out she was Hattie's mom. Hopefully that would help.
As the lesson began, Vannie began to make some simple notes. So far so good. She was impressed. For now.
