It was an Amstern. And not just any Amstern but she was fairly certain this new professor was a direct relation of Kimmie Amstern. Who she adored.

And to top it all off, the new professor also looked a bit... odd. It wasn't every day you saw one of your professors digging a hole in the ground while wearing a straw hat. Professor Amstern almost looked like a farmer. She slowly moved closer to the crime scene, wondering if professors needed permission to dig up the grounds or if they were welcome to do as they wished since they were faculty. But what was he doing? Did he even hear her over whatever he was humming to himself? If he didn't, surely her shadow gave her away.

"Professor?" Maya said a bit timidly. "Are you... looking for something?"

Maybe he was digging up an old time capsule? Perhaps he had been a Hogwarts student back in the day?
Truth be told, her relating him to that of the look of a farmer was not that far off. He'd tried his hands at various crops over the years on his land in Ireland, but vegetation wise not much had flourished under his care. He had always been far better with his various horses, but that didn't mean he didn't still have all the attire. Which came in handy for moments like these, as he finally found one of his squirmy friends he had been hunting for. "Aha, there you are!" He pulled it out of the ground, before turning and looking at his jar and realizing...

He had not yet opened it.

He stared at the offending jar for a moment, perplexed on how to remove the lid now that he was holding the worm. Gloves hardly gave a good grip, let alone one handed in order to open something. Perhaps if he let his worm down... even if it burrowed again, it shouldn't be too hard to unearth. He supposed that was his best option for the present.

Well... it was, until a student addressed him. Glancing up, Cyril smiled at the younger student and her question, giving a nod. "I am, yes. Worm hunting. I didn't plan ahead and order a sufficient amount for treats for some of the creatures but... lucky for me, these happen to be aplenty in the earth." Hopefully anyways. He squinted a little, trying to determine if he had any inkling to the girl's name before thinking that he did and going for it, hoping he was accurate. "Nam, was it? Would you mind opening that jar for me so I can drop this little guy in?"
