Daniel tucked the piece of paper in the back of the book before turning his head to the side to look at the newly appointed Professor. "I do...." he answered when asked if he liked detective stories. "I like a lot of genres though...except for romance. That is dull"

The last time he had been invited to a professors office he had been in trouble for arguing with V in class. For the most part, the Hufflepuff tended to avoid the offices but if he had some book recommendations he might knock on his door one day. "Ok sure, why not"

When the professor stood up, the second year looked hopeful for the first time. Was he leaving? Could he finally read this chapter?! What was it with people always coming over to chat when he had a book with him? His joy was short-lived though for a hand was extended out towards him and Daniel eyed it for a before glancing up at the man. Leaving him hanging, the Hufflepuff gave a nod of his head instead.

History of Magic was not his preferred subject but it was necessary for the profession he wanted to learn later in life. "Ok" he said simply because what else was he supposed to say to that?

Ah, he was leaving? for real this time? perfect. "I'll enter soon" judging by the sounds coming from inside the Great Hall, people were still locating their seats and conversing so he still had some time to finish this chapter. "Promise" he added and watched the new professor leave.

FINALLY.
