 be curious, not judgmental

She put the door stop in to hold it open and returned to her desk. "I don't know, Becca, just who DID bring me food?" Lainey laughed and flopped into her chair. "Could it be... the house elves? Because you know how I feel about their food."
Becca followed Lainey around the room like a loyal puppy. When the woman took a seat at her desk, the Ravenclaw immediately hopped into the chair on the other side. She set down the plate of brownies and grinned from ear to ear.
"Aw come on. Definitely not the house elves. Much better than that, I promise!" she reassured her, gently scooting the plate towards Lainey a bit more. Once they were directly in front of the professor and Becca was convinced that she would gladly accept one, she propped her feet up on the desk and gently laced her fingers in her lap. Ah, home sweet home.
"How was your summer break?" Becca asked out of mild curiosity. Well yeah, of course she wanted to know what happened last term. But she figured that was getting a bit too nosey too fast. She would work up to that, or just wait to see if she read the note.
