Anna hurried up to the staff table, anxious to talk to Professor Shackleton and get an update on her illness. Anna didn't even glance at the new professors yet. She was too determined to talk to Professor Shackleton first. Even though Anna had known most of the professors many, many years, she still got nervous when she approached them at the staff table. She always managed to feel so...so...young and childish. Anna cleared her throat and rocked back and forth on her feet a few times before speaking. "Erm, Professor Shackleton?" Anna asked, her voice a little quiter than she'd intended. "Please tell me how you've been. I've been really worried, you see."
