Not when he was both following the professor and trying to track their movement somewhat.
They were going away from the door…and straight…right?
The questions he left for his classmates to come up with answers as they were just another distraction though he was paying enough attention to hear what he might need. Soon enough they were apparently at their latest point of interest, a body of water large enough for boats. It really was amazing just what could be created when needed. Boats they would now ride in to get further along in their lesson on the smoky hinkypunks and their dangerous lanterns.
Septimus looked around as they started to load boats, debating options once he was near them. Finally he opted into one that had only a first year girl, figuring it was better than leaving her alone. "Hey," he greeted with a polite smile as he settled in, grabbing one of the oars to row.
"Hi" Mary said. She was a quiet person, but the night was equally quiet, so she was pretty sure he could hear it. She looked forward, towards the other side. Having memories of the boat ride that brought her to the feast, Mary really hoped it would be quick. She looked back towards the bot that just sat down and hoped for not too much sociality.
