Professor Shackleton entered the Charms classroom very slowly. Though she knew that Professor Hawkins would not be in there, she felt the need to let her eyes search the room for her. Convinced the room was empty, Professor Shackleton entered with two very large bags in hand, the odor from which was rather unpleasant, almost stinky feet-like.

As she reached the front of the room, Macadrian pulled a small rectangular table closer to her, laid out a blue checkered tablecloth and placed upon it the following items: two bottles of milk and two silver platters with dome-shaped coverings hiding their content.

She then stood beside the table, rocking slightly forward and back, anxiously waiting for students to arrive, knowing that all would be inquisitive about her presence in the Charms classroom, and more likely, Professor Hawkins absence.
