The professors reply, whilst making the second year smile ever so slightly but it didn’t go unnoticed that she didn’t reply to her second question. She did however, let it drop as Ary had just turned up.
“Oh, nothing really. My birthday was the other day and…” but as she went to elaborate, Bry turned up to join them. Offering a smile to Bry, Sloane quickly turned towards Ary and whispered “I’ll tell you later.” With a small nod towards Archie who’d also just arrived, Sloane turned her attention to the professor who was starting the lesson.
She needn’t bother however because they were going to be telling jokes? With a slight frown on her face, Sloane put her hand up instantly. “iS this a joke, Professor?” It wasn’t that she minded not doing any work per say, it was just…well, she did mind. It was Friday afternoon and the sooner they started the actual work, the sooner she could head back to her common room and relax. Despite her question, something told her that it in fact wasn’t a joke and that she was actually expected to come up with some funny joke or anecdote.
“wELL, I was in this lesson one time and the professor actually asked us to come up with a funny joke or anecdote and well…” she figured she didn’t need to finish her sentence. It would have been mean to say the lesson was a joke, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t suggest it and then deny it later.
