Smiling, Ponessa tucked a bit of her long, silver hair behind an ear. This is exactly what she needed, a little friendly competition. She rose from her desk, taking her peahen quill with her, signing her name. She picked up a badge, turning it over in her fingers, and fastened it to the front of her Ravenclaw blazer as she sat down again.

She had nowhere to go to at the moment, so she decided to linger quietly in the DADA classroom, finishing up her notes slowly, so she could later read them. She smiled and shook her head to herself--This was the perfect Professor! An obvious sense of humor, actually KNOWS what he's talking about, without being totally pompus. She laughed quietly to herself, and finished her notes.

Closing her notbook gently, she slipped it into her beige shoulder bag, along with her quill and DADA book. She stood, the class was nearly empty now. Ponessa looked to the Professor, "Truly insparational lesson, sir, I look forward to next class...Not trying to be a suck up.", she added truthfully. She hated it when people thought she was just sucking up to them, although she had always been a bit of a teacher's pet. "Good day, sir.", she nodded, looping her strap over one shoulder, and fluidly slipping out of the classroom. She lowered one hand to be sure she knew right where her wand was. She was ready for this.
