Hope hurried into class, hoping she wasn't late. As a first year, she was still a little unused to the changing staircases at Hogwarts. Actually, she wasn't that used to stairs at all--none of the houses in her home village in Virginia had had more than one story. But it looked like things hadn't started yet. "Hello, Professor!" she panted cheerily as she tried to catch a peek at what was behind him. She really knew nothing at all about Muggles, either in American or in England, so she was finding this class very interesting. "Hello," she said a little shyly to the other students who were already there. |
