Vox walked slowly towards the potion-masters office. She reached the door, knocked and entered when a voice within bid her to do so. She wasn't a person who generally went out of their way to talk to professors - she had dropped out of muggle school two years earlier and before that had been a troublesome student - but she wanted to do well at hogwarts and she thought that potions would be her best subject.
She entered the room and lifted her dark green eyes towards the professor in an intelligent and mysterious gaze.
"Professor Branxton. My name is Vox, I am a first year in Slytherin. I was just wondering if there was any opportunity for extra-credit work that i could do?"
She stood a little nervously and waited for him to yell at her or tell her to go away.
