Professor Ameliorating Teddy Bear really was so dreamy and she appreciated his nonchalant response to her out-of-breath entrance. She had thought about maybe going to bombard him with some musing about some medicinal herbs and flowers she had just so happened to stumble upon while flipping through a magazine she had found in the library and maybe she would get around to actually following through with the intention today. Tomorrow? Eventually!
Aaaaaaaaand she especially appreciated Professor Carton acknowledging that she was on time! It was true that as a fifth year she really ought to have a handle on the castle and know her timetable and be much better at time management that Anna reflected and she was growing more and more embarrassed and frustrated by these truths, but she was really trying her best and it felt very reassuring and encouraging to have those efforts noticed. And speaking of noticing, Anna hardly faulted Professor Khanna for not noticing her - they had, after all, been in conversation with someone else and she was a petite fun-sized Hufflepuffle. Not to mention the anticipation of today's Quiz Bowl meeting surely would have anyone delightfully distracted!
And speaking of...she had never heard of Jeopardy but she was rather smitten by this whole button pushing situation. She was bound to forget to answer like she was answering a question though...or maybe she wouldn't because it was such a funny way of speaking that it was kind of like memorizing lines for a play as a character entirely different from yourself. That, somehow, tended to make things easier for her and why Drama Club had been so good for her and to her. Sincerely, if she could manage to answer just ONE of the categories correctly - meaning correct answer and correct form of answering - then she would be overjoyed. And...maybe...if she left with a lollipop too. Not even her optimism was irrational enough to believe she could come out with something BIG - and she would not simply copy correct answers from her peers without having known that same answer first!
So, basically, no further questions here! Other than wondering if Aurora would come over here or if she should go over there or....
"Vera!" she chirped gleefully while she kept the older Gryffindor's infamous title quiet...at least for now. It seemed like it was Vera's turn to give out a nickname and not just a nickname but it came with a little jingle as well! It all caused her cheeks to blossom like the roses on her favorite tea rose bush in the greenhouse. "Sure! It would be an honor! We'll give it our all!"
