Looking up from just taking out her ink and quill, she smiled slightly at Marie, about to say hello back when the Slytherin continued speaking, making her smile turn into a frown. Carter doesn't bite. Did that mean...he actually did bite? Some weird mind thing going on here, trying to make her scoot closer so he could bite her? Or he just really didn't bite, and he didn't have rabies or anything...

Clearing her throat, she scooted her chair a tiny bit towards Marie's and Carter's table before giving them a small smile and turning back to her textbook. That was as close as she was getting now.
