Andi turned to look at the Slytherin girl, her eyebrows raised. The half written letter lay on her desk, along with some old photos. Andi had been sorting through them in preparation for her next lesson. In the event of being completely unable to find a fairytale in the Brothers Grimm book that didn't involve beheading and the like, she had decided next time, she'd teach something simple and easy: how to charm photographs to move.
She had been looking through her collection to find a few, mostly of her younger days, and of her parents and various relatives. Right now, her hand rested on one ancient shot, taken when she and her four-months-younger cousin Karl had been about three years old. Little Andi had a big smile on her face, black hair blowing about, and a huge bouquet of peonies. She was near Karl, who had a smaller smile. There was no sign of the grouches they would become.
Andi smiled fondly, remembering the last words she and Karl had exchanged.
"You bloody git!"
"You miserable shrew!"
She rather missed her cousin.
"The next class will be when I choose it to be!" she snapped, shaking hair out of her eyes. "As for the homework, rest assured I have posted the requirements on the homework board outside. I believe you possess all faculties? You can read? Yes? Very good then."
Lauren flinched, slightly shocked by the biting response to her innocent question. She thought for a moment that she would've done better just keeping her mouth shut and asking an older student for help - why did she think she could come in here and her professor would treat her any better than the rest?
"Yes, I can read," she said, her voice cracking halfway through. She was scared of this teacher, reduced to physical shakes and a dry mouth in her presence, and yet she was fascinated by her demeanor, her office, and her life. She had never met anyone quite like her. "Uhh...okay, so I, um, I'll check the homework board. Thank you for your time." Nodding at Professor Mao-MacDougal in a final thanks, Lauren ducked out of the office with her head down, releasing a large breath of air once the door shut behind her that said she was never so glad to be swallowed by the crowd of students in the halls.
OOC: I'd say painfully honest. Though, if she were my teacher, I'd probably have cried by now! lol, Thanks so much for your help - I really appreciate it.
