Would you like a piece of hard candy?" he offered on a side-note, before continuing. "Who knows? Maybe you'll understand the concepts better this year than you have in the past. Give it a shot, and if you still have trouble come see me again. Does that sound like a good plan to you?"
The professor smiled at the first year who saw that the door was open and understood the invitation to come in. "Hello, Mister Smith," Professor Svensson replied. "It's very nice to meet you. And if you're looking forward to my class, I can honestly say that I hope it meets your expectations." He gestured at the basket of hard candies on his desk. "Would you like a mint or a lemon drop?"
Nicoletta smiled. Mabey he was right, new term new chance.
"Yes sir, I'll make sure I'm there." at his remark about the candy she replied,
"No thank you sir, I just bought quite a bit at Honeydukes but thank you for the offer." she held out her hand.
"Nicoletta Davis, sir."
