She didn’t even hear or see Atlas’ muttering or flinch. If she had, Lisa Nam would have been as deep of a red shade as Atlas’ Gryffindor tie! Fortunately, she was not paying too too much attention at this moment so she didn’t even think her pronunciation of the word was incorrect.
Lisa nodded, listening to the Professor’s instructions as she half wrote down the instructions and half doodled around it.
