She instantly concurred that it was broken beyond magical repair, and that maybe some old-fashioned muggle fixing could make it work.
"Oh, sorry! I'm Sapphinelle Della. Bonjour!" she said happily and guessed that he was trying to find out where she was from. She gave him that hint to make it a lot easier, hah. "Tea? I'd love some, thank you so much." she said with a smile. She loved the teachers here already! But some of them were SUPERRR strict, eeep!
"I'm looking forward to Astronomy. I love the stars and planets. We studied them intently in Muggle school." she said with a nod, worrying if she was acting too stuck-up or something.
"Sapphine Della..." Risu repeated. He smiled. "It's nice to meet you. Sit, please. I'll have some tea coming right up." He wandered over to the stove and started bustling.
Behind him, at the desk, the young Hufflepuff was prattling away merrily. Risu grinned to himself. He obviously loved his students telling him that they liked his subject, but they always acted as if they were sharing a rather grandiose revelation. There had to be
some kind of interest in Astronomy them to climb all those stairs up to the Tower.
He'd forgot about the oily hand. The teapot nearly slipped out of his fingers as he was pouring the girl a cup. He supported it with the other hand just in time. To calm his nerves, he got himself one as well. Picking the two cups up carefully, Risu returned to his desk. "There you go," he said, putting one of them down in front of Sapphinelle in the same spot that Rubiey's cup had occupied.
He sat down on his side of the desk with a sigh and accompanying chair creak. "Well, Miss Della, I'm sure I will be delighted to have you in my lessons, then!" he said cheerfully, tapping the edge of the cup with a finger. "Do you have any questions about the subject?"
