Patrick walked in with more confidence than what he may have had last term, but that wasn't due to anything that happened on the behalf of the professors. He blamed most of it on having to pick his battles. His hair was a bit longer just to annoy some of the professors who had made comments and his tie a bit loose. He wasn't sure what his parents would think when he returned after this term. He wasn't too sure.

He picked a spot somewhere in the middle of the table taking note of Skyler standing wondering why she would bother. Not really stopping to ask he flopped down at the table and looked around at everyone, "Hey everyone" with a quick wave of his hand and a shake of his head to get the hair out of view.
