Ve wasn't sure if it just hadn't been noticed or if the younger student was just polite enough to not offer commentary on her jump, but either way it was a bit appreciated. The rising fourth year moved around the display a bit, not to get away from the girl but just to view another piece that had caught her peripheral. "I mean, it is a Professor's job to teach and if there are students showing interest .. why would she want to waste such an opportunity as an involved class?" Well, even if it was only two students who expressed interest she couldn't imagine others wouldn't want to learn this.

... Ooops.

The fact that the girl was also a Gryffindor and yet she had been unsure if she was a Hogwarts students was embarrassing, and Vera could feel her cheeks heat up a bit though she hoped the make up she now wore regularly was enough to cover it. "I'm a Gryffindor too! Fourth year." That was already weird to say. Were they really already only a year away from the dreaded OWLs? "It's nice to meet you, Nadia! How was your first term?" [/color]
